00:00The quality of the water below the ground near the town of Limay, Bataan will be tested
00:06due to the sinking of the MT Terranova.
00:08The salvage operation of another tanker that sank in Mariveles will take place in two weeks.
00:14Jun Veneracion is a witness.
00:19The oil or shale is only thin in a small part of Hagonoy, Bulacan, and Cavite
00:24from the oil of the MT Terranova that sank in Limay, Bataan.
00:28It is based on the latest aerial inspection of the Philippine Coast Guard today.
00:33According to the salvaging company,
00:35they have already sealed the pressure valves and high-level alarm sensor of the tanker.
00:41Only one liter of oil is leaking every hour.
00:44That cannot be affected in our marine environment.
00:47So, this is a big development.
00:50Tomorrow, it is expected that the siphoning will start.
00:55300,000 liters of oil is needed to sink the motor tanker.
01:00It is being pushed to Pampang so that the siphoning will continue.
01:03The motor tanker Elena Marie, which is the sister tanker of the motor tanker Terranova,
01:11will also arrive today, in which all the IFOs that can be siphoned will be brought to the motor tanker Elena Marie.
01:19But according to the estimate of the UP Marine Science Institute,
01:22there is a possibility that oil spills from the MT Terranova will be caused by the oil spill.
01:27Coastal areas in Cavite may also be affected due to the movement of the wind.
01:31Water cannons continue to be used in areas where oil is seen while the oil dispersant is sprayed first
01:37because it is not effective so it needs to be replaced with another kind.
01:41There are also improvised oil spill booms made in Balat, New York.
01:46A while ago, various agencies of the government and local governments
01:50called for an oil spill.
01:52According to the Department of Health,
01:54groundwater should be supplied to Bataan so that it can be safely saved.
01:57We have deployed a team to conduct drinking water testing near the shoreline.
02:07According to the Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources,
02:10they did not notice anything unusual in the fish markets in Bataan.
02:15But it is still necessary to conduct a laboratory test for oil and grass.
02:20We coordinated with the local government units,
02:23especially the Provincial Local Government Unit of Bataan,
02:27where we gave them advisory if they can do an emergency harvest.
02:34Meanwhile, fishing vans in Limay and Bulacan were put in operation,
02:39especially when the oil slick was spotted by the group Greenpeace.
02:42In the neighboring town of Limay, Mariveles,
02:45another oil tanker exploded last Saturday.
02:48MP Jason Bradley brought 5,500 liters of diesel.
02:53From the air, the ship looked like an antenna floating in the sea.
02:57It was surrounded by an oil spill boom,
02:59and two Coast Guard ships were on duty in the area.
03:02It will take around two weeks for the salvage operations to be completed for this second vessel.
03:11For GMI Integrated News, I am Jun Veneracion of your Saksi.
03:17More than 800 schools did not open their classes today after flooding.
03:23Most are in the Central Zone,
03:24where more than four schools have been suspended from opening their classes.
03:29And in Metro Manila, where the number has reached more than 200.
03:34The cleaning of schools in Binaha is in progress,
03:37hoping that they will be able to start their classes on Monday.
03:42Saksi, this is Rafi Tima.
03:45On Wednesday, August 5, the first day of classes at Masambong High School in Quezon City,
03:5015 classrooms were flooded after the heavy rainfall caused by Hurricane Karina.
03:57TVs and electric fans were damaged.
03:59Papers, notebooks, and books, as well as learning kits, could not be used.
04:04I think we can do it because the support of our LGU and our DepEd continues.
04:10All of this can be replaced, even our learning kits.
04:13The flood reached the second floor of Guillermo Sanchez Memorial Elementary School.
04:17This is really important for us to be able to reach August 5.
04:24We were able to supply the modules that they will be using for this school year.
04:29Some students, like JC, also have a problem with their notebooks and uniforms in Binaha.
04:34Everything was washed out. Uniforms, bags, shoes.
04:39There were also no classes in Putrero Elementary School in Malabon after it became an evacuation center.
04:45Only a family was left there today, but they will be transferred to another evacuation center.
04:51They are the families whose houses were washed out.
04:55That is why they were not able to return even though there was no flood in Barangay Putrero.
05:01Some teachers have a problem with deciding what to do first,
05:03whether to clean their school or their house that was also flooded.
05:08It is very difficult because you are thinking of two things,
05:11and you are also a grade leader of the school.
05:15It is very difficult to decide what to do first.
05:18According to DepEd, more than 800 schools were not able to start classes earlier.
05:2398% of the schools were able to open.
05:26According to the National Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Council,
05:29105 cities and towns were in a state of calamity due to Hurricane Karina and Hurricane Habagat.
05:34In Kalasyao, Pangasinan, it rained but some houses were still submerged in the flood.
05:39There was no way for the water to come out,
05:41so they had to wait for a few more days before the water continued to flow.
05:44When it rains, it doesn't get deeper.
05:47When it rains, it really gets deeper.
05:50I hope it doesn't rain so that it doesn't get deeper.
05:53Some residents in Linggayen, Pangasinan, were shocked.
05:56Even though there was medicine, it took a long time to recover
05:59because they were still drowning in the flood.
06:02We always drown here when we cook.
06:05It hurts.
06:06The Pangasinan Provincial Health Office confirmed
06:08that there are supplies of medicines, health centers, and hospitals.
06:11For GMI Integrated News, I'm Raffy Tima.
06:14Succeed!
06:16There is still a low-pressure area inside the Philippine Area of Responsibility.
06:20At a distance of 335 kilometers,
06:22in the north of Itbayat, Batanes, it was last seen.
06:25There is still a low chance of this being a typhoon, according to the forecast.
06:29It is also possible that within 24 hours, it will be released in the PAR.
06:34There is also a possibility that it will dissipate or melt.
06:38The LPA is no longer effective,
06:40but there will still be heavy and localized thunderstorms.
06:43According to the Metro Weather,
06:45it will still rain in the western section of Luzon in the morning.
06:48It will rain more in the afternoon and evening,
06:50including almost the entire northern and central Luzon,
06:52Limaropa, Bicol Region, Quezon, and a large part of Visayas and Mindanao.
06:57There is also a chance of rain in Metro Manila,
06:59so bring an umbrella if you are going out of the house.
07:02Before the witness, he was already stabbed.
07:05He even fell on the post.
07:07He was the driver of a truck in San Vicente, Ilocos Sur.
07:11The driver was hospitalized for almost an hour
07:14before he was removed from the hospital after he fell on the post of the Arco ng Bayan.
07:19According to the police,
07:21the victim should have followed his female text-mate.
07:25But the live-in partner of the text-mate went to their hideout
07:29and stabbed the victim in the arm.
07:31The victim tried to drive towards the hospital,
07:34but he was disgraced.
07:36The suspect was arrested for the stabbing
07:38and his accomplice in their next boarding house.
07:43The passengers of the passenger bus were shocked
07:46when they saw a car that counter-flowed the EDSA busway.
07:50Sandra Aguinaldo witnessed the viral incident.
07:57This is counter-flow, counter-flow.
08:00The passengers of this bus were shocked because of the car that counter-flowed.
08:05Why did it enter? Where did it come from?
08:07The car that counter-flowed was in front of the bus,
08:10but nothing was done, it did not go back.
08:12How far is it?
08:14It went down.
08:15Why did it enter there?
08:17That incident happened in the EDSA busway in Guadalupe
08:22early in the morning yesterday.
08:25Maybe two more minutes before it went back.
08:28What she wants to say is that maybe we were the ones who went wrong.
08:31How far did it go back?
08:33About 100 meters ma'am.
08:34About 15 minutes.
08:3515 minutes.
08:36It did not know how to go back.
08:37Sometimes, it got confused.
08:39The passengers were angry because they were already late.
08:43The emergency entrance and exit to the EDSA busway was fast,
08:46so while the car was going back,
08:49an ambulance was sent and a bus was sent to escort the passenger.
08:53At that time, there was also a response from the IACT
08:56or Interagency Council for Traffic Task Force.
08:59According to the owner of the vehicle,
09:02it came from the EDSA busway.
09:04So apparently, it was a bit drunk.
09:07And based on the information that we were able to gather,
09:10it went past where it was supposed to go,
09:13which is supposedly going to BGC, where it was supposed to go.
09:17And apparently, when it went past,
09:20it was going to BGC,
09:21it was surprised, it went past.
09:23So he saw an open barrier,
09:26which he thought was a U-turn slot going back to Guadalupe.
09:29Based on the investigation of the Department of Transportation,
09:32aside from the buses that will operate in the EDSA carousel,
09:36only the five highest officials of the government
09:39are allowed to pass through the busway.
09:41Responding emergency vehicles can also pass,
09:44such as ambulances, fire trucks, and PNP vehicles.
09:48Those who violate the regulations
09:50will face a penalty of Php 5,000 to Php 30,000
09:54depending on how many violations there are.
09:56Licenses can also be cancelled.
09:59For GMA Integrated News,
10:01I am Sandra Aguinaldo, your witness.
10:06The Philippine Language Commission
10:08will include in the dictionary
10:10the new words or expressions
10:12that are now popular on social media.
10:14According to KWF,
10:16these words represent
10:18the youth's happiness.
10:21Witness, Darlene Cai.
10:26This is definitely part of your news feeds
10:28or what you hear on the streets in your area.
10:31What does this mean?
10:33Mostly, it's used every end of the sentence.
10:39For example,
10:40Hey, you're so beautiful.
10:41One A there.
10:42Hey, like that.
10:45That's it.
10:46But aside from that,
10:47there are many other words or expressions
10:49that are now trending on social media.
10:51Tik nap not nak.
10:53Is na malak.
10:54Like that.
10:55Pansit Canton.
10:56It's just weird.
10:57But it's funny.
10:59These O's and A's are crazy.
11:01It's like a person is possessed.
11:02It's like you can't believe what's happening.
11:05According to some youths,
11:07it's common to use these words.
11:09It adds to the fun of the conversation.
11:11It's fun to use.
11:14Aside from that,
11:16it makes you feel like you're there.
11:18But there are some who don't like it.
11:20I don't want to be seen on TikTok.
11:23What they're saying.
11:25I'm used to the old ones.
11:28The old words.
11:30According to the Commission on Filipino Languages
11:32or KWF,
11:33there are no new words or expressions
11:35that are now trending on social media.
11:38It shows the youths' misbehavior.
11:41One of the characteristics of the language
11:44is that it's dynamic, flexible, and flexible.
11:47It's also a part of popular culture.
11:52It's a part of the repository
11:54of the corpus of Filipino words.
11:57It's a part of a time period.
12:01There's a trend.
12:02The real threat of social media
12:04when it comes to the Filipino language
12:06is the use of foreign languages.
12:09This August,
12:10in celebration of Kwanang Wika,
12:12a dictionary version of the Filipino language
12:14was launched.
12:16It contains some new words
12:18from social media.
12:19The theme this year
12:21is the Filipino Language of Freedom.
12:24The language is a weapon
12:27against the abuse
12:30of an individual,
12:33society,
12:35or a country.
12:38In looking back
12:40at the history of our country,
12:43we can prove
12:46how the language became a visa
12:49for the propagation of ideas
12:52about the achievement of freedom.
