02:2422 actually.
02:25We were just defrosted.

02:33Here, our bonding has gotten deeper.
02:36We have our own changes for this season.
02:39We have character development.
02:40Yes, we have our own character development.
02:42It's fun to watch.
02:45The weather is different.
02:46It's cold.
02:47The visuals are different.
02:48It's fun to watch.
02:49Okay.
02:50♪♪♪♪♪♪
02:541, 2, 3!
02:55Let's go running, man!
02:58And just like the challenges
03:00that our runners faced
03:01and explored in different places in South Korea,
03:05we're not done marching yet.
03:07Join us as we continue our Batangas Expedition.
03:10♪♪♪♪♪♪
03:12From Dalampasigan,
03:15the Underwater Expedition,
03:17or Free Diving,
03:18all of that is here.
03:23Aside from the beauty of Batangas,
03:26the Batangueños are kind
03:28even though we call ourselves Barako.
03:31That's the number one contributor
03:32why we have repeat tourists.
03:38One of the Villas Tortugas,
03:40considered a century-old house,
03:42was built in 1800.
03:44It was owned by the Gajol family
03:46in the Philippines by Garcia Leonor.
03:48Now, it's a costume rental studio.
03:51There's also an experiential tour
03:53in the Villa Tortuga.
03:54There are costumes that visitors can wear
03:57to experience going back to the past.
04:00Just like this.
04:09When it comes to food,
04:10hunger is not a problem in Amayn.
04:13You name it, Batangas has it.
04:15The legit and authentic Lomi Lapo
04:18can only be found in Batangas.
04:20The toppings here are not cheap.
04:22Loaded is loaded.
04:24The Kapeng Barako here
04:26is made with love and effort.
04:28A different version is being made.
04:32Here's Kapeng Barako with mango syrup and basil.
04:36Can you still sleep
04:37in the Kapeng Barako smoothie with ice cream?
04:40And the ever-savory soup of Gotong Batangas
04:43with pinasosi.
04:45Oh my, it's so delicious.
04:54So let's go here in the province of Matitigas.
04:57Let's go here in Batangas.
04:59Paul Hernandez for 24 hours
05:01of summer fun in the province.
05:05The Department of Foreign Affairs
05:08of the Chinese nationals
05:09who will enter the Philippines.
05:11The reason for the restriction
05:12is the arrest of Sandra Aguinaldo.
05:18Chinese who enter the Philippines
05:20as tourists and illegal workers
05:22in the country.
05:24And Chinese who work
05:26with illegal POGO
05:28or Philippine Offshore Gaming Operators
05:30and sometimes even fight
05:32with Chinese partners.
05:34They are the ones who can be reduced
05:36to Chinese who enter the country.
05:38Now the Department of Foreign Affairs
05:40has tightened their visa requirements
05:42to go to the Philippines.
05:44The Philippines will now ask
05:46for a Social Insurance Certificate
05:48as proof of their identity.
05:51A requirement that was not asked for before.
05:54The most important thing,
05:55the addition is you have to show
05:58your Social Insurance Certificate
06:00like our SSS.
06:02It's a more sure way to verify
06:04the identity of the applicant.
06:05The reason for the restriction
06:07is we will pass a fake statement,
06:10fake employer certificate.
06:12And it's hard to verify that
06:13because it's written in Chinese.
06:15And we have also some local hired people
06:20Chinese speaking,
06:21but still a lot of people apply.
06:24Asking for a Social Insurance Certificate
06:26is also being done
06:28by other embassies in China.
06:30The reason for the restriction
06:31in the visa requirement
06:32is because it's still hot
06:34between China and the Philippines
06:36in the West Philippine Sea.
06:37But through the DFA,
06:39there is no connection
06:40to the issue of the new visa policy.
06:43According to the Department of Tourism,
06:45from January to May 10 this year,
06:48China ranks third
06:50among the most tourists
06:51who came to the country
06:52at more than 150,000.
06:55In total, in 2023,
06:57China ranks fifth
06:58among the most tourists
06:59who came to the Philippines
07:00at more than 263,000.
07:03According to the DFA,
07:05tourists from China
07:06are still welcome in the Philippines
07:08who can meet the requirements.
07:11We are encouraging quality tourists
07:15to come to the Philippines.
07:16We're not shutting them off.
07:17In fact, these measures
07:19are also mutual protection.
07:20Like, okay, basically,
07:21who are these fake tourists
07:23that are coming in
07:24using fake documents
07:25or they're here,
07:26they extended,
07:29or they're just TNT.
07:30The DFA and other government agencies
07:32like the Bureau of Immigration
07:34will also help
07:35to protect Chinese tourists
07:37who are already in the Philippines
07:39but want to stay here
07:40for a longer period of time.
07:42It depends on the type of visa,
07:44the duration of staying abroad
07:46in the Philippines.
07:47What has been more convenient
07:49is that you just convert
07:51your tourist visa
07:52when you get here.
07:53But of course,
07:54BI and all the other agencies
07:56are now being also more careful,
07:58more strict.
07:59For the GMA Integrated News,
08:02Sandra Aguinaldo
08:03with TUTOK 24 Horas.
08:15A boat that doesn't need a crew?
08:18It's cheaper
08:19and more environment-friendly.
08:21That's the first Filipino-made
08:22solar-assisted electric boat.
08:25Come on, let's change the game
08:26and try the SESI E-Boat.
08:47Mga Kapuso,
08:48the heat is on!
08:52But no matter how hot it is now,
08:54the sun will still shine
08:56because of the solar energy.
08:58And that's what will make this E-Boat work.
09:02This is the first Filipino-designed
09:04and made electric boat
09:05named as
09:06Safe, Efficient, and Sustainable
09:08Solar-Assisted Plug-in Electric Boat
09:11or SESI E-Boat for short.
09:13Developed by engineers
09:15from Mapua University,
09:17headed by engineer Phibos Cruz.
09:19We want to create a boat
09:21with zero emission
09:23to have it powered by battery
09:25and 100% electric motor.
09:29The project is co-funded by DOST
09:32and the Department of Energy.
09:34There are a lot of efforts
09:35on the modernization of the land.
09:37There's E-Jeep, E-Bus, E-Trike.
09:40Then, they want also to carry over
09:42that momentum in the maritime world.
09:46Of course, we will try that in Kenya.
09:48So, sir will be the first
09:50in our E-Boat.
09:51We're in the middle of the sea
09:53but we still can't feel
09:55that something is coming to us.
09:58The SESI E-Boat is so quiet.
10:01It's so quiet.
10:03It's like it's just swimming.
10:04We selected the motor
10:06with the highest efficiency
10:08as well as our battery.
10:10It's fast to charge
10:12while it's long to use.
10:14Aside from being fully electric
10:16or it can be charged up to 220 volts,
10:18it's also solar-assisted.
10:20This SESI or our E-Boat
10:22can run for 2 to 4 hours.
10:25We got that from regular chargings.
10:28But if we're exposed to the sun
10:30and we have a constant source
10:32of solar energy,
10:34the running of Project SESI is one-to-one.
10:37If the level of the sun is good,
10:39it won't use the battery anymore.
10:41It will automatically switch solar panels.
10:44There's also a tracking and monitoring instrument
10:46to avoid accidents.
10:49And because it uses renewable energy,
10:51the operation cost is cheaper
10:53at only 25%
10:55compared to using fuel.
10:57Right now, the SESI E-Boat
10:59is a tourist boat.
11:01So we can transport tourists
11:03from one island to another island.
11:05But the core technology,
11:07which is the electric boat system,
11:09can also be used for inland ferries,
11:12for mass transportation,
11:14and eventually, it can also be used
11:16in vessels.
11:17So that's good.
11:18That's our vision.
11:24My fellow Filipinos,
11:25not just vehicles,
11:26even E-Boats have their own version
11:28here in the Philippines
11:29that is sustainable and cost-efficient.
11:31For GMA Integrated News,
11:33I'm Martin Avier,
11:34changing the game!
11:38President Bongbong Marcos said
11:40that he did not receive any information
11:43that a member of the PNP
11:45was involved in a humanoid destabilization plot
11:47against his administration.
11:49He also called a former PDEA intelligence officer
11:53who was involved in illegal drugs a liar.
11:56And GMA Regional TV 1 Mindanao
11:58was able to track down Tony Humamil.
12:04During President Bongbong Marcos' visit
12:06to General Santos City,
12:08he was asked about the humanoid destabilization plot
12:10against his administration.
12:13He said that there were retired and active members of the PNP
12:16who were recruiting to get Marcos removed from office.
12:19According to the President,
12:21he did not receive any information
12:23that a police officer was involved in this.
12:25We don't have a phone number
12:27to address the retirees.
12:28Maybe there are people who are involved
12:32in these crimes.
12:35But to our fellow Filipinos,
12:39we don't have a phone number
12:41to address the retirees.
12:43We don't have a phone number
12:45to address the retirees.
12:47His message to the PNP and armed forces.
12:49Even if you don't vote for me,
12:51you can vote for me.
12:53As long as you become a professional
12:55and do your job right,
12:56that's what I want from everyone,
12:58from the police, from all organizations.
13:00He also called a former PDEA intelligence officer
13:03Jonathan Morales a liar
13:05who is in cahoots with the President
13:07on illegal drugs.
13:08You know what this fellow,
13:12he's a professional liar.
13:14And he's like a jukebox.
13:17As long as you have money,
13:19you can sing any song you want.
13:21You can sing any song you want.
13:22You can sing any song you want.
13:23You can sing any song you want.
13:24You can sing any song you want.
13:25You can sing any song you want.
13:26You can sing any song you want.
13:27The President is in General Santos City
13:29to ask for help from those affected by El Niño.
13:32Around 10,000 farmers and fishermen
13:34have received 5 kilos of rice
13:36and 10,000 pesos of financial assistance.
13:39The President also distributed assistance
13:41to Isulan Sultan Kudarat.
13:43The President turned over a 50 million pesos check
13:46to the farmers and fishermen in Sultan Kudarat
13:50and 50 million pesos to the province of North Cotabato.
13:53Aside from this,
13:55the Department of Social Welfare and Development Region 12
13:57also distributed 100 million pesos
14:01to 10,000 beneficiaries in the province.
14:04They received 30,000 pesos
14:06under the Assistance to Individuals in Crisis Situation
14:09or AX and 5 kilos of rice.
14:12From JME Regional TV 1 Mindanao and JME Integrated News,
14:16I am Tony Humamil.
14:18Tune in for 24 Hours.
14:21Cyber Libels
14:25Cyber libels, Sharon Coneta and Kiko Pangilinan,
14:28filed a complaint
14:30against the showbiz columnist and host, Christy Fermin.
14:33The effects of Fermin's statements
14:36against their family is already bad.
14:39Here is Nelson Canlas' report.
14:44Even my children have suffered
14:47and they feel bad.
14:49We've been off social media.
14:51Partly because of this.
14:53This is Sharon Coneta's statement
14:55while she was crying after she filed.
14:58Even her husband,
15:00former Senator Francis Pangilinan,
15:02filed a cyber libel complaint
15:04against the columnist and host,
15:06Christy Fermin.
15:08The statements of Fermin
15:10in his online show
15:13and columns
15:15have already been destroyed
15:17by the husband and his children.
15:19Yes, we are public figures
15:21but we also have rights.
15:23Because many say
15:25that if you are a public figure,
15:27you should stop lying
15:29and harming others.
15:31But that's not the case.
15:33In fact, we also have private rights.
15:36Especially when the matter
15:38is not of public interest.
15:40Meaning, it's a personal issue,
15:42personal family matters
15:45and concerns.
15:46Megastar is still angry.
15:48She feels bad
15:50for filing a complaint
15:52against her alleged friend.
15:54So I reached out to her
15:56and for a while,
15:58I actually was very,
16:00I had so much affection for her
16:02because I feel like we're old.
16:04I'm old.
16:05I was looking only for good points
16:07in people.
16:08And then after a while,
16:10suddenly I was shocked
16:12because I was about to leave.
16:14I was judged right away.
16:16I wasn't even asked.
16:18It's annoying.
16:19There's so much unfairness also.
16:21People only see the surface, right?
16:23Sharon also added,
16:25that despite the painful,
16:27malicious and outrageous statement
16:29that came out within four decades
16:31that she endured.
16:33But when she saw
16:35that her loved ones were getting hurt
16:37in life,
16:38she decided to file a complaint.
16:40I took care of my name
16:42for 46 years.
16:46My parents were good to me.
16:48And most of all,
16:50my three children told me
16:52that I was a good mother.
16:54So it hurts me a lot.
16:56It hurts me a lot.
16:58According to Fermin,
17:00in her YouTube show,
17:02Don't Shoot the Messenger,
17:04these cases are
17:06part of her job.
17:08And she understands
17:10where the complaint comes from.
17:12But she still can't
17:14accept the complaint
17:16because her copy
17:18hasn't reached her yet.
17:20For GMA Integrated News,
17:22Nelson Canlas,
17:24for 24 Hours.
