00:00Good morning. Here are the first news of GMA Integrated News.
00:18We have news about El Nino. Three jeepney drivers in Pangasinan are being investigated for the death of three people.
00:27The cause of their death is not a strong heatstroke, according to the One Pangasinan Transport Federation.
00:34The situation of the other drivers is being monitored now.
00:38Their federation is also reminding them to avoid traveling if the weather cannot handle the heat.
00:47In Pangasinan, the water of that well in Barangay Embarcadero, in the town of Mangaldan,
00:55is now a deep well in a place where there is no water.
00:59There is still a well there, but the water coming out of it is already polluted.
01:04So even the government is forcing residents to stay in the well.
01:09The water in some wells in Barangay Maasin and Lanas is already running out.
01:14In the town of Kalasha, the water supply is also being blocked by some residents.
01:19There is almost no water coming out of the wells, especially during peak hours.
01:25The water is being collected by water for Kalasha.
01:28The water pressure is affected whenever there is a power interruption.
01:34The Department of Environment and Natural Resources, or DNR,
01:38is prohibiting golf courses from using water from water concessionaires.
01:42Even though most of them have their own water reservoir.
01:46In some houses, they are not allowed to use buckets and hose to clean or water the cars.
01:53Yesterday, the water level in Angat Dam dropped to 185 meters.
01:58It is being collected by domestic water in Metro Manila and irrigation in Bulacan and Pampanga.
02:04It is said that it needs to be saved to avoid rotational water interruption.
02:07It is expected that the rain will fill Angat Dam in July.
02:14President Bombo Marcos insisted that the Philippines will not face
02:18an aggressive invasion of China in the West Philippine Sea,
02:21such as the bombing of the water.
02:23The National Security Council denied that the current administration and China
02:29have an agreement in Ayungin Shoal.
02:30Here is the first news, Chino Gaston.
02:36The Chinese Embassy said that Beijing and the current administration have an agreement
02:42in Ayungin Shoal.
02:43AFP, Western Commando, Westcom, Umano have an agreement that the Defense Department
02:49and National Security Council or NSC have approved.
02:51But the National Security Council denied that it is not true.
02:56This is pure and clearly fake news on the part of the Chinese Embassy.
03:02The Foreign Affairs and Defense Departments and AFP
03:07denied that the Marcos administration has an agreement with China.
03:10I don't think there is any cause for the investigation.
03:15Because this narrative coming from China is simply, you know,
03:21there to create dissent and sow disinformation to our countrymen.
03:26The Philippine Coast Guard noticed that they were being shot by
03:30small-scale ships in the Chinese waters
03:32when they were tying the ships of the PCG and DFAR in the West Philippine Sea.
03:36They want to justify why this kind of aggressive actions.
03:42The narrative of China is also being amplified by pro-China trolls
03:47without naming names, you know.
03:49These influencers somehow are affecting the Filipino people's appreciation
03:56of what's really happening in the West Philippine Sea.
03:59Last week, in Panatag Shoal,
04:02the Philippine Coast Guard was hit by water from the Chinese forces.
04:05That's why some said that the ships of the Coast Guard should also have water cannons.
04:10But the President doesn't agree with this stance.
04:13We have no intention of attacking anyone with water cannons or any other such offensive,
04:20I would have to call them weapons because they are already damaged.
04:23So no, that is not something that's in the plan.
04:26It is not the mission of our Navy, our Coast Guard to start or to increase tensions.
04:33Their mission is precisely the opposite, is to lower tensions.
05:03We are a small country. China is big.
05:27We cannot match her ship for ship, plane for plane, dollar for dollar, nor do we want to.
05:36Our best weapon is the truth,
05:40shining a light on the coercive tactics of the Chinese government.
05:57This is the first news. Chino Gaston for GMA Integrated News.
06:04We're back. Department of Migrant Workers Secretary Hans Kakdak.
06:08Good morning again, Secretary.
06:10Yes. Good morning to all the listeners and viewers.
06:13That's a lot better, Secretary.
06:15We're back to the part where you're asking what assistance the government will provide
06:20to the wives who were affected or hurt by the landslide in Hong Kong.
06:24Please continue, sir.
06:26Yes. Of course, first of all, we are monitoring their situation in the hospital. They're still
06:31both in the hospital but recovering in stable condition. Their financial assistance was
06:41given to the wife by her husband, but still we are awaiting the full recovery of the husband
06:48who underwent an operation.
07:18So far, that's what we've monitored and affected because they're in the mountainous area.
07:36Maybe the damage in the city where everybody was safe and indoors.
07:46Right. There was also a heavy rainfall in Brazil and Indonesia.
07:50Do you have any information if any of our countrymen were affected there?
07:55Yes. I've managed to coordinate with USECED and the DFA because we don't have a Migrant Workers Office
08:03in the two places, Brazil and Indonesia. The information I have is that there are no Filipinos
08:14in the area where the floods hit Brazil and Rio del Sol. Here in South Sulawesi, Rio Grande do Sul,
08:27in Brazil. Here in South Sulawesi, where the floods and landslides hit, we haven't heard of any Filipinos affected there.
08:36This is a provincial part of Indonesia. We're still awaiting further updates. We hope it stays that way, that there are no Filipinos affected.
08:47First of all, Secretary, in sending 100 PINAY caregivers to South Korea,
08:52the question of our countrymen is how will the applicants be selected?
08:57Yes. We're currently in the process of selecting.
09:02There are only 100. This is an on-pilot test under the existing agreement on the employment permit system with Korea.
09:10This program will provide work for Filipinos who will take care of children, infants in Korea, so child care essentially, caregivers.
09:27So you're looking for female caregivers, Secretary?
09:30Well, not really. There's no such specification. But it also depends on what the Korean employer will choose.
09:42The caregivers must present their test, the NC2 Caregiving Certificate.
09:51There are medical tests that will be conducted, including pre-departure and post-arrival education and training.
09:59The Korean families are also included in the orientation sessions.
10:04There is an application process on the Facebook page of the DMW, Pre-Employment and Government Placement Bureau.
10:14Is there a minimum skills requirement or academic achievement requirement, sir?
10:20Yes. Yes. There's the NC2 Caregiving Certificate. That's required.
10:28Just go to the Facebook page of the DMW, Pre-Employment and Government Placement Bureau.
10:35The process is there. There's a step-by-step process there and requirements.
10:39All right. Of course, just go to the legitimate pages.
10:43There might be scanners there and people who shouldn't be working.
10:48Secretary, thank you very much. Thank you for joining us this morning.
10:51Yes. Thank you very much, Ivan. Thank you for listening and watching. Thank you very much.
10:55We are talking to DMW Secretary Hans Kakdak.
11:18You didn't miss out and it's worth it because the sweet mangoes of Guimaras are unique.
11:24You will surely come back.
11:26According to the provincial government,
11:27from the previous four days of one year,
11:30the mango eat-all-you-can was made for 12 days this year.
11:35It's also available every weekend.
11:37The mango festival will last until May 22.
11:41All eyes on our alien, Navida, at JMA Prime for her Alien Dance Challenge.
11:54Out of this world, Grace moved to the character of Marion Rivera in My Guardian Alien.
12:00It's on the dad's floor but it's a bit awkward.
12:03That's why it's trending on social media.
12:07That's where other casts of Kapuso Show get excited.
12:10You aliens, are you going to get caught?
12:13We should do that, partner.
12:14We should, we should.
12:15What are you?
12:18The price of onions increased to Php40 per kilo in some markets in Calacio, Pangasinan.
12:25It's cheap to buy in other cities because it's already harvested.
12:30Before you can feel the profound effect of the onion,
12:33Joanne?
12:36According to the local government of Bayambang, Pangasinan,
12:40the onion capital of the province was also targeted
12:43to prepare the local farmers and onion growers for the hot weather
12:48so the supply of onions is not affected.
12:51According to the local government of Bayambang, Pangasinan,
12:55the local government of Bayambang, Pangasinan,
12:58the local government of Bayambang, Pangasinan,
13:00the local government of Bayambang, Pangasinan,
13:07The supply of red onions in Bayambang, Pangasinan,
13:11according to the local government of Bayambang, Pangasinan,
13:13is sufficient despite the hot weather.
13:16Many have been harvested before you can feel the effect of the onion.
13:20In fact, the price of red onions decreased to Php80 per kilo,
13:25which was Php140 per kilo before.
13:27The price is low now because the supply of onions is high.
13:31We don't have any issues regarding the supply of onions.
13:36Almost all agricultural products have the effect of the heat index,
13:44but it is not significant enough to affect the onion farmers.
13:52However, the price of onions is still expected to rise in the coming months
13:57once the harvest is over.
13:59Aside from monitoring the price of onions,
14:02the LGU is targeting having a cold storage facility in the town
14:06to help the farmers.
14:08This is a big thing for the supply to be stable throughout the year.
14:13Meanwhile, the price of red onions in the Kalasyao market is expected to rise.
14:19Last week, the price of onions was Php120 per kilo,
14:23but now it is Php160 per kilo.
14:27It was cheap before, but now it is more expensive.
14:30The supply is low now.
14:31It is also because of the increase in the price of agricultural products,
14:35such as onions,
14:37the transportation costs for these products.
14:40According to the Provincial Agriculture Office of Pangasinan,
14:50if the supply of onions from the province is not enough,
14:53there will be supplies from other provinces such as Nueva Ecija.
14:58Thank you very much, John Ponsoy of GMA Regional TV 1 North Central Luzon.
15:11A warehouse containing cartons and plastics in Binondo, Manila was burned down.
15:16Two responding firemen and a fire volunteer were injured.
15:21Here is the first live news of Niko Juaje.
15:24Niko, is it already fired out?
15:30Good morning, Ivan.
15:32It's not yet fired out, but it's already far under control.
15:35A warehouse containing cartons and plastics in Binondo, Manila was burned down.
15:47It was 9.30 p.m. when the warehouse in La Vizarre Street, Corner Camba in Binondo, Manila was burned down.
15:53A warehouse on the 8th floor of the house caught fire quickly.
15:57Firefighters had a hard time because of the thick smoke inside.
16:01A large part of the 8th floor was burned down.
16:04According to the wardens of the house facing the camera,
16:07they were hit by the warden of the other house and were told that the 8th floor would be burned down.
16:12It was just when the staff who were overtiming were coming out.
16:15I'm just here to help you because you're going to die inside.
16:19A few fire volunteers entered the house but were not able to do so.
16:23One of them lost consciousness so he had to be taken to the ambulance.
16:27Another BFP person also needed oxygen after not being able to breathe inside.
16:32That's why we went down first because of the thick smoke inside.
16:37The oxygen tanks of the fire volunteers and those in the Bureau of Fire Protection were almost empty.
16:44According to the BFP, two BFP people and one fire volunteer were injured in the fire.
16:49The other fireman climbed up to the two houses in front of him to put out the fire.
16:54According to the BFP, the fire spread quickly because the warehouse was full of cartons and plastics.
16:58This is a storage room so the stacks are new and it's full.
17:05It's full of things.
17:07What we went through were plastic wares, plastic balloons.
17:13That's why the smoke is black and the plastics are flammable.
17:18The overall importance of those who were hit and those who were burned by the fire is still unknown.
17:22Ivan, so far, there's still smoke coming out of the eighth floor of that house that was burned here in Binondo, Manila.
17:34We can also see that the windows are broken.
17:37Last night, the broken windows fell on the road and no one was hurt from the falling broken windows.
17:46It was 4.14 a.m. when the BFP declared that the fire was under control.
17:52Live from Binondo, Manila, I'm Nico Juage for GMA Integrated News.
17:58Some motorists were last seen on the EDSA busway even though it's prohibited.
18:04One of them was arrested by the MMDA.
18:06Live from EDSA Santolan, we have James Agustin.
18:10James, what's the situation?
18:16Maris, Maris, good morning.
18:18Most of the people who were arrested in the operation of EDSA Santolan are in a hurry.
18:24That's why they were allowed to pass through the busway.
18:26And among those who were seen this morning, there were two motorcycle riders,
18:30an ambulance without a driver, and a car driven by the MMDA.
18:36The Special Action and Intelligence Committee on Transportation, or SAIC,
18:41arrested two motorcycle riders on the EDSA Santolan flyover.
18:46One of them tried to escape but was stopped by the EDSA.
18:49The other was forced to stop.
18:52There was also a motorcycle rider who was forced to stop but was escorted by the authorities.
18:57Meanwhile, an ambulance without a driver was arrested.
19:00The ambulance was taken to the VMMC and returned to Taguig.
19:04The driver of the ambulance was also stopped yesterday in Ortigas
19:08because of crossing the busway without a driver.
19:11There was also a car that was forced to stop after crossing the busway.
19:15The driver is also a member of the MMDA.
19:17Here is a part of the statement of some of the people who were seen.
19:21I was in the middle of the road earlier. I was in the middle of the road.
19:24But you know it's prohibited.
19:26Yes.
19:27I was in the middle of the road because it was full.
19:29Sir, when I passed through the barricade, I couldn't get in.
19:32That's why I went back inside.
19:34I would have been able to get in if you would have let me in, sir.
19:37That's why I continued to go to him.
19:44Meanwhile, Marisa, the operation of a motorcycle will continue here in Esas, Antolan,
19:49a motorcycle rider who was forced to stop but was escorted by the authorities.
19:55That's the first news from Quezon City.
19:57I'm James Agustin for GMA Integrated News.
20:01Meanwhile, Miss Universe Philippines 2023, Michelle Marquez-D,
20:06and her friend Miss Universe 2023, Shanice Palacios.
20:12That happened at Miss Universe Philippines 2024 Sponsors Night.
20:16Michelle told us that Shanice is a close friend of hers,
20:18and one of the people she was with at the Miss You Pageant that she was connected with.
20:23She taught Shanice from some Filipinos.
20:26After her tour in the Philippines, Shanice will have her next tour in India.
20:31Shanice has been one of my closest friends in El Salvador,
20:35and it was really so nice because backstage I was teaching her Tagalog,
20:39which is like a full circle moment because in El Salvador, she was teaching me how to speak Spanish.
20:43So I taught her a few words here to say during her speech, and you know, it's just so nice.
20:51From one queen to another.
20:53From one queen to another.
20:55Slays in Miss Universe 2022, Arbony Gabriel, as the host of Mega Young Designers Competition 2024.
21:01She is one of the judges for the Global Fashion Icon Heart Evangelista.
21:06Arbony's story is very close to her heart, the competition, because she is also a designer.
21:11She is happy to see the passion and dedication of Filipino young designers.
21:17When I look at the designs, I'm like, oh my gosh, it takes so much work.
21:21Like, I know that's hours and hours of no sleep.
21:24Like, they're very dedicated.
21:26And I was like, I want to wear some for a photo shoot.
21:30Because of the heavy traffic in Metro Manila,
21:34the time of malls is being adjusted.
21:38This is approved by some of our countrymen.
21:41Live from Quezon City, this is Bam Alegre.
21:44Bam, what did the people you talked to say?
21:49Maris, good morning.
21:50Yes, there are still no vermans and shopping cramming is not expected yet.
21:54But there is a chance that mall hours will be adjusted to reduce the traffic.
21:58Is this too much for our countrymen we talked to here in Lansangan?
22:01Here is the Street Hear It.
22:10EDSA Rush Hour plus Kamuning Flyover Retrofit.
22:13A killer combo of bumper-to-bumper traffic.
22:16In the next few weeks or months,
22:18EDSA will have several infrastructures under it for preventive maintenance.
22:21That's why one of the solutions that Metro Manila Council is discussing
22:25is adjusting mall hours.
22:27They say it can be a countermeasure against rush hours
22:30and reduce the volume of cars.
22:32For the taxi driver, Alfred Pangilinan, this might have an effect.
22:36This has no effect, especially now that there are a lot of roads being built.
22:40There's nothing, even if the roads are built, there's nothing.
22:43There's too much traffic.
22:45The passenger, Kiergo Cheres, is not too surprised.
22:47It can be reduced, but not only in malls where people are gathering.
22:51There are still a lot of facilities aside from malls that are open.
22:55So people are not just...
22:57Though sometimes it will be a factor that will be reduced a bit,
23:04but the traffic will not be resolved immediately.
23:07The driver, Fernando Meral, understands the purpose of this.
23:10It's not going out at the same time.
23:12It can be reduced.
23:13The driver, Ron Sulweta, sees the potential of this to reduce traffic.
23:18It's possible because rush hours are the ones that are taken care of.
23:22Usually, rush hours are the ones that are avoided by people.
23:25So for me, I think it's okay.
23:33In summary, here in the fight against traffic,
23:35several LGs have adjusted their working hours from 7 a.m. to 4 p.m.
23:40So let's see if this will really reduce traffic.
23:42This is St. Hirit from Quezon City.
23:44Good day for GMA Integrated News.
