Transcript
00:00 Former economic advisor of former President Rodrigo Duterte, Michael Yang, was called by the camera.
00:06 He was a co-ordinator of the operation of authorities in Mexico, Pampanga, in September when almost Php 4 billion was seized.
00:14 The House Committee on Dangerous Drugs Chairman Robert Ace Barbers,
00:17 Yang is connected to the company that owns the warehouse where the drugs were found.
00:23 The company is also involved in other illegal activities.
00:26 Yang was first identified in Parmalee Pharmaceuticals, the company that bought the government's overpriced medical supplies during the COVID pandemic.
00:34 The camera will find out if there are other illegal activities that Yang is involved in.
00:40 Yang was once told that he has nothing to do with Parmalee.
00:43 The Philippine Drug Enforcement Agency also said that Yang is not connected to illegal drugs.
00:51 The Philippines should file a complaint against China's destruction and manipulation of the drugs inside the exclusive economic zone of the Philippines.
00:58 Retired Supreme Court Associate Justice Antonio Carpio said that this could be part of his claim that China is in the area.
01:05 We have first news from Joseph Morong.
01:07 While it's still early, the Philippines should find a way to stop the reclamation of China in the Sabina-Sholat-Pagasakay.
01:19 Retired Supreme Court Associate Justice Antonio Carpio said that China is already spreading to create an artificial island in Sabina-Shol.
01:27 75 nautical miles or 140 kilometers away from Palawan and inside the exclusive economic zone or EEZ of the Philippines.
01:36 It's like the distance between Quezon City and Lucena, Quezon.
01:40 The Philippine Coast Guard also reported that Chinese researchers were seen in Sabina-Shol.
01:46 I think they're in the process of marking, making markings because they destroyed the coral reefs. Maybe that's the first phase.
01:55 It should also be complained to the tribunal of the United Nations Convention on the Laws of the Sea or UNCLOS on the first destruction of China's corals.
02:03 That's after seeing the dead corals in Sabina-Shol, which the PCG said is a possible sign of the construction of an artificial island.
02:13 What's more worrying is that Sabina-Shol is close to the Reed Bank or Recto Bank, which is rich in oil and is in the EEZ of the Philippines.
02:22 If we allow them to build on Sabina-Shol, then they will harass us in Reed Bank because they have a base near Reed Bank.
02:35 When we asked the Chinese Embassy if their researchers saw a PCG about this, they said that's what the PCG thinks.
02:42 But they haven't answered our question on where they are in the process.
02:47 This was only said when China has an unquestionable sovereignty over the islands and waters in the South China Sea, like the Nanshao Spratlys, which is in Sabina-Shol.
02:56 But according to Carpio, not only in Sabina-Shol, China is starting to reclaim, but also in San Dique, near the Pagasa Island.
03:04 The PCG has been repeatedly saying that the coral there is dead. In 2017, the Philippines is planning to build a fisherman's shelter there, but China denied it.
03:15 We are asking the PCG, DFA and DND to be on alert.
03:18 This is the first news. Joseph Morong for GMA Integrated News.

03:28 Let's go for it! Let's go for it this Monday morning.

03:40 [music]
03:46 From My Jabs to Maria Clara, it's complete from his iconic outfit and moves.
03:52 That's why the post is so popular. It has more than 1 million likes on TikTok and has 7.5 million views.
04:00 His study on netizens is like a past.
04:04 Another trending entry of the uncoverable star and its showtime host Vice Ganda.
04:10 In Piliin Mo Ang Pilipinas, he highlights some important issues, like China's harassment of the Philippines, the West Philippine Sea and traffic.
04:22 In the last touch, netizens are on Vice's message that even though it's hard to fight against the Philippines, he is still choosing our country.

04:38 The possible delay in the production of sugar is worrying because of the hot weather.
04:44 Where are we selling it today?
04:46 We have first news live from Niko Juaez.
04:49 Niko.
04:50 Good morning. Sugar is on the market here in Blumen Street Market in Manila, especially in hot weather.
05:01 Of course, that's one of the ingredients for cooling, like halohalo.
05:05 But the reason why the supply and production of sugar is possible to be delayed is also due to the hot weather in the next few months.
05:14 Pesos to 85 pesos per kilo of white sugar is now here in Blumen Street Market in Manila.
05:23 Pesos to 75 pesos per kilo of washed sugar is now in the 70s.
05:27 Brown sugar is now playing from 65 pesos to 78 pesos per kilo.
05:32 It's cheaper if you put it in a market, said Randi Aquino.
05:36 It's getting lower now, not like before.
05:39 Is it like before?
05:40 It's high before. It's just high before.
05:44 And because it's cheaper, the sugar is now sold sweetly.
05:49 It's a bit expensive to sell because the weather is still hot.
05:54 We use sweeteners, halohalo.
05:59 In Rodeline's store, she sells five bags of sugar every day.
06:03 She also sells ingredients of halohalo.
06:06 We sell halohalo for 100 pesos.
06:10 Now, it's only 16 pesos more because it's raining.
06:16 Rodeline and Randi both say that the supply of sugar is good.
06:21 But according to the United Sugar Producers Federation, the supply and production of sugar is possible to be delayed.
06:27 Sugar farmers cannot plant because the soil is dry due to the effect of El Niño.
06:33 If it's not enough, according to the sugar sellers, their sales will surely be affected.
06:39 If there's no sugar, it's a big problem.
06:42 Of course, we use halohalo.
06:45 What if they don't have sugar?
06:48 We might be too lazy.
06:51 If the supply of sugar is not enough, the sugar will surely be affected.
06:58 It might be an option not to sell sugar.
07:01 It's a new adjustment.
07:03 We haven't sold sugar yet.
07:06 It's too expensive.
07:07 If it's too expensive, we'll sell white sugar.
07:12 We don't buy white sugar.
07:15 It's really cheap because it's cheaper.
07:18 To prevent that from happening, the United Sugar Producers Federation supports the import of sugar.
07:24 We'll import imported sugar from the GAP.
07:30 I saw that there's a shortage of sugar in the ground.
07:34 That's right, 185,000 to 200,000 metric tons.
07:43 There's no problem with imported sugar according to the sellers.
07:48 They're not losing in price.
07:51 Live from the Blumen Trade Market in Manila, I'm Nico Juaje for GMA Integrated News.
07:57 Meanwhile, like here in Las Piñas,
08:01 some places in Quezon City are also affected by water interruption.
08:06 We'll find out their preparations in the first live news of James Agustin.
08:11 James, good morning. What's the situation there?
08:13 Maris, good morning.
08:16 The barangay Pag-ibig in Nayon will lose its water supply for eight hours
08:20 because of the maintenance activity that Manila will do later tonight.
08:24 Just now, some residents are already impacted by water.
08:28 Ms. Telma is cooking the dishes that she's selling in the livelihood center of the barangay Pag-ibig in Nayon in Quezon City.
08:38 She doesn't know that there's a scheduled water service interruption in their area later tonight.
08:43 We'll just save water so that we can cook tomorrow. We have something to use.
08:48 Ms. Leticia is also selling some cooked dishes.
08:51 We'll just save water. It's very difficult because the weather here is very hot.
08:57 Leia started filling a big drum of water.
09:01 She also filled a washing machine with water.
09:04 They have seven families in the compound that they're using.
09:07 It's very difficult when there's no water.
09:10 My son will take a bath later.
09:14 He takes four baths.
09:19 It's very difficult when there's no water so I'm already packing.
09:22 In the province of Manila, the barangay will lose its water supply from 10 p.m. tomorrow until 6 a.m. tomorrow.
09:29 That's for the pressure test that will be conducted in Ibonifacio Avenue, Corner Pineda Street.
09:36 Meanwhile, Maris, Manila is asking the affected residents to save enough water before the scheduled water service interruption.
09:44 That's the first news from Quezon City. I'm James Agustin for GEMA Integrated News.
09:49 President Baumarcos created a so-called Super Body to look after the human rights of the country.
09:57 According to Administrative Order No. 22,
10:00 the Special Committee on Human Rights Coordination will raise the issue of protecting and advancing human rights.
10:08 It was first raised by Executive Secretary Lucas Bersamina in the Court of Appeal on May 8.

11:13 The SAICT personnel recently arrived at EDSA busway to monitor the motorists who pass through there even though it's prohibited.
11:22 We have live news. Bang Alegre. Bang.
11:26 Good morning. Some riders who were caught earlier here still don't understand that they cannot pass through EDSA busway.
11:36 We are here at Southbound Lane, just below EDSA Ortega's flyover where seven riders were caught and arrested by SAICT's Special Action and Intelligence Committee for Transportation.
11:49 It's prohibited to pass through here.
11:51 Some of them were silent when we received their statement because they were stopped and their licenses and registries were inspected.
11:58 But some of them argued that they were just there and they were stopped so they were allowed to cross the line prior to their arrest.
12:10 Only buses that are allowed to pass through here are public transportation buses and emergency vehicles with authorization or those with patients.
12:22 Earlier, there was a car that was arrested. They are both facing a fine of P5,000 for first offense.
12:30 This is the first news from EDSA busway in Ortigas, Bang Alegre for GMA Integrated News.
