00:00Passengers are stranded on several routes in Manila and Paranaque
00:04in the middle of Tigil Pasada against the POV Modernization Program.
00:08But according to LTFRB, the reason is not Tigil Pasada
00:11that's why it's hard for the commuters to ride.
00:13Watch Oscar Oida.
00:19Passengers are stranded in the city of Paranaque earlier
00:23next to Tigil Pasada there by the Manibela group.
00:27According to Manibela, hundreds of jeepneys of their Paranaque chapter
00:31did not travel as a lesson in the POV Modernization Program.
00:44200 passengers were also affected when they were stranded in Manila
00:48at 8 o'clock in the morning.
00:50Also because of the non-travel of members of PACO Rotonda,
00:54Santa Mesa Jeepney Operator and Drivers Association.
00:58Rescue vehicles immediately sent the Manila LGU
01:03to ride the affected passengers.
01:06It's also hard for passengers to ride in the middle of a sunny day
01:10in Caruncho Avenue in Pasig.
01:13It's hard now.
01:14There are only a few people on the road.
01:17The other jeepneys haven't started yet.
01:20Aside from each and every Tigil Pasada,
01:25the Manibela group also protested.
01:30According to Manibela, this is a proof
01:33that according to the LTFRB,
01:3780% of the jeepneys have been consolidated.
01:41This is how we see their sacrifice every day.
01:45It's hard to ride.
01:47We don't want this to happen.
01:49That's why we're doing this now.
01:51So that the government can see that this day,
01:54if we're not allowed to extend,
01:58our fellow countrymen will experience calvary every day.
02:03According to the LTFRB,
02:05if there's a place where it's hard to find a vehicle,
02:09it's not Tigil Pasada.
02:12Those who didn't travel there,
02:14those who didn't go out and pass,
02:18it's because they didn't join the consolidation.
02:22It's not because of Tigil Pasada.
02:24Those are the short-distance routes
02:27that the LTFRB didn't anticipate
02:30that the jeepneys will end.
02:33So immediately this afternoon,
02:35we dispatched rescue jeeps on those areas.
02:40For GMA Integrated News,
02:42Oscar Oidang, your witness.
02:46The price of electricity is high.
02:48Expect it this May.
02:49According to the Energy Regulatory Commission,
02:52it will even suspend the pricing
02:54in the wholesale electricity spot market or WESEM
02:58if there's a red alert to protect consumers.
03:01Here in April,
03:03some declared yellow and red alert
03:06because the supply of electricity is low.
03:08This is one of the reasons for the high price of electricity in WESEM.
03:12To be clear,
03:13electricity can still be purchased in WESEM
03:16but it will be deducted from the administered price
03:19set by the ERC.
03:21There is also a secondary price cap
03:23to limit the high price.
03:25But because the addition to the electric bill is still expected,
03:28the ERC is talking to the distribution utilities
03:32to delay the demand of this to the consumers.
03:36Humanoid disorderly conduct
03:38of Davao del Norte First District Representative,
03:41Pantalion Alvarez,
03:42was investigated by the House Committee on Ethics and Privileges.
03:46Tagom City Mayor, Ray Uy,
03:48complained that Alvarez was absent
03:51and that the congressman's statements were glibelous and seditious.
03:55He then called on the AFP and PNP
03:58to leave in support of President Marcos
04:01until he resigned.
04:04The committee will give Alvarez 10 days to resign.
04:08Alvarez said that he will consult with the committee
04:11to make a decision on his complaint.
04:13The PNP suspended the removal of police tattoos.
04:17They are still studying the possible effects of tattoo removal
04:21on the health of the police,
04:23especially those who have feelings.
04:25But it should be noted that the tattoo should not be seen
04:28while wearing a uniform
04:29and their tattoo should not be added.
04:31Tattoos are also prohibited for police officers.
04:34For GMA Integrated News,
04:37I'm Sandra Aguinaldo, your witness.
04:42Beya Alonzo filed an online libel complaint
04:45against O.G. Diaz, Christopher Min,
04:47and other co-hosts of their online show.
04:51Because of that,
04:52they spread wrong, misleading, and malicious information.
04:57Witness, Nelson Canlas.
05:00Three individuals filed an online libel complaint
05:03against Beya Alonzo
05:05at the Quezon City Prosecutor's Office earlier.
05:08The actress complained to the showbiz columnists
05:11O.G. Diaz and Christopher Min,
05:14as well as the co-hosts of their online shows,
05:18and a netizen who claimed to have approached her.
05:22In the complaint affidavit filed by the actress,
05:26she was found guilty of spreading
05:28wrong, misleading, and malicious information
05:31that was spread by the three of them.
05:34This includes the wrong payment of the actress' tuition.
05:38Beya did not respond to the interview after the filing.
05:42For the record,
05:43this is the very first time that Beya is doing this.
05:46She has been in the industry for more than 20 years,
05:49and yes,
05:52she was greatly devastated.
05:54She was affected by all these defamatory statements
05:58thrown against her.
06:00She asserted her right
06:03to proceed with this filing of criminal cases
06:07against the individuals
06:10responsible for making all these damaging statements against her.
06:15The GMA Integrated News sent a text message
06:19to the respondents
06:22to get their answers,
06:24but they did not respond.
