00:00Customers and waitresses ran outside after hearing a gunshot inside a restaurant in Lasam, Cagayan.

00:13Three people were inside the restaurant.

00:15According to the police, the two were drinking with the victims when the suspect punched them and pulled out a gun.

00:23The suspect tried to escape with the victim, but he was also shot.

00:27Based on the investigation, the victims were treated.

00:31The suspect is still being tortured.

00:35PhilHealth is recommending to President Bongbong Marcos to lower the member contribution.

00:40PhilHealth said that the amount of funds they will receive will be enough

00:44despite the question of the Senators in their plan to reimburse the government with a subsidy of almost Php90 billion.

00:52We have a report from Ma'am Gonzalez.

00:57PhilHealth has a monthly premium of 5%.

01:00For example, if a direct contributor earns Php10,000 a month,

01:04their monthly contribution is Php500.

01:07PhilHealth said that they will recommend to President Marcos to lower the contribution of the members.

01:13PhilHealth said during the Senate Committee on Health hearing that they still have Php500 billion in funds.

01:18Before this, the Senators recommended to lower the contribution of PhilHealth to almost Php90 billion,

01:23which was not used as a subsidy from the government.

01:26Why do we need to reimburse Php90 billion?

01:28Why are the benefit packages of PhilHealth still not enough and there are still out-of-pocket patients?

01:34Before you raise funds, think about what can be used for that money.

01:40PhilHealth explained that it is legal to raise funds to the national government.

01:44It was also not taken from the contribution of the members.

01:46It doesn't mean that because Php90 billion is gone, PhilHealth will lose money.

01:51Why don't you use your funds to the poor, to the patients who are in need,

01:56so that your money will not be taken away by the Department of Finance?

02:03We are very, very aggressively enhancing all of our benefit packages.

02:08In fact, we did an initial 30% across the board last February 14.

02:14And we are already in the process of doing another round of 30%.

02:19So it's really continuous.

02:21According to Finance Secretary Ralph Recto,

02:23the Governance Commission for GOCCs and Office of the Government Corporate Council, or OGCC,

02:29agreed that it is legal and does not include the prohibition of raising funds in accordance with the Universal Health Care Act.

02:35PhilHealth members will also receive benefits.

02:39To fund the ad program appropriations, Congress determined that there is another way,

02:47aside from new taxes as well as debts.

02:51And this is through the collection of the sleeping and unused money of the GOCCs,

03:00which we are still paying interest.

03:03But some doctors are still talking about not reducing the funds for health care.

03:08We are the ones who are getting close to them, we are the ones who are by their side in their treatment.

03:17Excuse me.

03:19PhilHealth's assistance is not enough.

03:23Let's not call it savings because this is our debt to them.

03:30This should not be taken away.

03:32Mav Gonzalez reporting for GMA Integrated News.

03:36Ten people were injured after a passenger jeep collided with five vehicles in Manila.

03:42In Albay, a rider who was hit by a bus was critical.

03:46Beya Pinlac has the report.

03:51The motorcycle ran slowly in Ligao City, Albay.

03:54Later, it was hit by a passenger bus.

03:57The rider who suffered head injuries was critical.

04:00The bus driver was held by the authorities.

04:04The rider was hit by a passing child in Infanta Quezon.

04:07A three-year-old child was injured.

04:10The impact was severe.

04:11The rider ran away but was able to recover in the barangay.

04:15The child is still recovering.

04:19This woman fell from the e-trike while a man was hit by a jeep in Manila.

04:25Five vehicles were hit by a passenger jeep after it lost its brakes.

04:30Ten people were injured.

04:31Six of them were rushed to the hospital.

04:33The jeepney driver was held by the authorities.

04:37Beya Pinlac reporting for GMA Integrated News.

04:42The Philippine National Police denied the allegations of Vice President Sara Duterte of political harassment.

04:48The reduction of 75 police officers in her security detail.

04:53The PNP was angry.

04:54The police were transferred to increase the number of police officers in Metro Manila.

05:00It is said that VP Sara still has 31 PNP security details.

05:06It is also not true what VP Sara said.

05:09That there are police officers who went to her place to find out which house she lives in.

05:16VP Sara still has no answer to that.

05:18But she said in a Facebook post that her family is safe.

05:23Her only wish is not to allow any violence to them, personally or on the internet.

05:33The Department of Agriculture plans to distribute vaccines against African Swine Fever next month.

05:40This is free to those affected by ASF.

05:43My report, Darlene Cai.

05:48The pork that Elizabeth is selling is already scarce.

05:51But it is still not enough.

05:53In Megacue Market in Quezon City, 35 pesos per kilo of pork is increased compared to the beginning of the year.

06:00Of course, it is better to reduce the price of pork so that people can afford it.

06:04According to the latest data of the Philippine Statistics Authority,

06:07the increase in the price of pork in June is almost double compared to last month.

06:12The reason?

06:13The increase in cases of African Swine Fever or ASF, according to the National Economic and Development Authority or NEDA.

06:19That is why vaccines against ASF are important.

06:21The Department of Agriculture plans to distribute them this August until September.

06:25The government will be able to get the first batch of 600,000 doses of vaccines.

06:29The controlled rollout is set for the third quarter of 2024.

06:34Prioritizing eligible commercial farms, semi-commercial enterprises, and clustered backyard farms.

06:43That are very important.

06:44Under strict buy supervision, this initial rollout is strictly voluntarily.

06:49The budget for vaccination is 350 million pesos.

06:52The places that have active cases of ASF will be prioritized.

06:55According to the Bureau of Animal Industry, 18 provinces have active cases of ASF.

07:00If the vaccine is really effective, people will now invest again.

07:05There's a good chance that the price of pork will go down.

07:07The real effects of that will be known by February next year.

07:11The AVAC that was registered under monitored release has undergone clinical trials.

07:16It was started last year.

07:19They've been applying for almost two years.

07:22It has been proven 100% safe in efficacious.

07:25Darlene Cai reporting for GMA Integrated News.

07:29The advertising agency that replaced the Hill, Puyat Avenue signage with Hill Tulog did not apologize.

07:36It was said that they acknowledge the issues raised by their ad campaign.

07:41Although they obtained a permit and clearance for this, they immediately denied the ad campaign.

07:49Or they immediately stopped the ad campaign.

07:51They also brought their apology to the Puyat family.

07:56At the same time, they clearly respect the former Senate President, Hill Puyat.

08:02Filipinos have the lowest number of sleepless nights in Southeast Asia and the fourth in the world.

08:10But that should not be taken for granted, according to the expert,

08:13the effect on the health of the former Puyat family in the Fifth Track Report by Katrina Son.

08:20In five hours of sleep, 26-year-old Jason Sulutan is already happy.

08:25Aside from being able to go home from work late.

08:28Sometimes, I scroll on Facebook.

08:31That's why it takes a long time to download on my cell phone.

08:36That's why I only sleep for five hours.

08:39He also sleeps for almost five hours every day.

08:43He's a double job.

08:44He's a rider and he also has a job in the housekeeping section of a mall.

08:49I'm also sleepy.

08:50I need to eat.

08:52That's my job.

08:53Jimmy Agbulos is a 70-year-old taxi driver.

08:57He sleeps for two to three hours every day.

09:01When he gets home from work, he has a housework to do.

09:05He has to do the laundry.

09:07He has to do the laundry.

09:10When he gets home from work, he has a housework to do.

09:13Because he's the only one who lives in Manila.

09:30And the fourth country in the world that lacks sleep.

09:33According to the President of the Philippine Society of Sleep Medicine,

09:37digitalization and globalization are the reasons why Filipinos lack sleep.

09:43That includes using social media or mobile phones while resting

09:47and working on the graveyard shift.

09:50But sleep should not be neglected.

09:52For adults, they should sleep for seven to nine hours every night.

09:56For seniors, they need six to eight hours.

10:00If a person is always awake, it affects their weight.

10:05Obesity, cardiovascular disease, heart disease, high blood pressure, stroke, heart attack.

10:12The chances of developing diabetes and infection also increase.

10:17For those who can't sleep at night, they need to have a sleep schedule.

10:21Make sure the room is clean, quiet, and dark.

10:26And there should be a downtime before going to sleep.

10:30This means preparing to sleep through a routine like taking a bath.

10:35There should also be no gadgets one hour before going to sleep.

10:38Katrina Son reporting for GMA Integrated News.
