00:00Good morning. Here are the first news brought to you by GMA Integrated News.

00:20The Manibela group will continue to protest against the statements of President Bongbong Marcos

00:27that the Public Transport Modernization Program has been continued.

00:31According to the Manibela group, the President said that 80% of the PUVs have been consolidated.

00:39The Piston group also criticized the President's statements

00:42because it seems that the PTMP is neglecting the hard work of drivers, operators, and commuters.

00:51Senate President Chiza Escudero is defending the Resolution of the Senate to suspend the PTMP.

00:57They want to make sure that the Department of Transportation will carry out the program properly.

01:02The President is supporting the Resolution of the Senate and the PTMP.

01:07I disagree with them because they are saying that this has been postponed seven times.

01:16And those that have been objecting or have been crying out and asking for suspension are in the minority.

01:25Let's listen to the majority and let's continue what the majority is saying.

01:29So that's what we will do.

01:30So that's what we will do.

01:34In a new statement, Vice President Sara Duterte led several government agencies.

01:40According to the Vice President, the country is being led by an official who has no right to work.

01:48We have first news from Sandra Aguinaldo.

01:52A message for her Muslim brothers was released by Vice President Sara Duterte on her Facebook page.

02:00She followed it in the first statement of six Muslim tribes that promised to provide support and security to the Vice President if he needs it.

02:10Aside from that, Vice President Duterte also issued a statement against the government.

02:15She said that the Philippines should stand up against foreign interference in the domestic affairs of the country.

02:22The Philippines is being led by an official who has no right to work.

02:49Vice President Sara Duterte also condemned the use of the PhilHealth fund for things that have nothing to do with health.

02:56It should be true that the health care system should take care of the well-being of the Filipinos.

03:02It should be noted that PhilHealth's re-establishment of almost P90 billion in the national government

03:09to fund the unprogrammed appropriations under the 2024 national budget became controversial.

03:15PhilHealth is ready to explain to VP Sara if it is needed.

03:20There is no sacrifice or benefit for the Filipinos.

03:24It would be better if we can talk to her so that the PhilHealth program can be explained and what are the plans.

03:34Our fellow Filipinos should not worry.

03:37We should continue to increase and strengthen our beneficiaries.

03:42The vice president also condemned the members of the House of Representatives who instead of passing a new law,

03:50are trying to interfere in other issues,

03:53particularly by talking about the lack of police for the growing population of the country.

03:59The lack of police will not disappear in their lifetime.

04:03It should be noted that VP Sara reduced police security because according to the PNP,

04:08they need PNP for police visibility in the National Capital Region.

04:14The vice president also condemned the officials of the airport

04:17who kept their mouths shut about the lack of police security

04:20and did not listen to the ongoing investigation whenever there was a problem.

04:24The vice president also condemned the video and flight details of the passengers,

04:29including minors.

04:31We asked for a reaction from the Manila International Airport Authority,

04:35but they did not respond.

04:36It should be noted that the video captured the departure of VP Sara's family to abroad.

04:43This is the first news.

04:45Sandra Aguinaldo for GMA Integrated News.

04:49Education Secretary Sani Angara ordered the vacancy positions of the Department of Education to be filled.

04:55According to the Department of Budget and Management,

04:57Government Manpower Information System,

05:00the agency has 4.53 percent or more than 40,000 vacancies.

05:04In addition to a memorandum, hiring for the positions is being speeded up.

05:09Angara also plans to change the policy on the time of teaching the teachers.

05:14The maximum teaching load of six hours should not be redirected for the teachers to have a break.

05:20According to Angara's directive,

05:22he should be approved by the Commission on Appointments as the Dept. Head Secretary.

05:26China is conducting a combat patrol in Bajo de Macinduc or Panatagsyol,

05:31which is inside the Exclusive Economic Zone of the Philippines.

05:34We also saw the China Coast Guard

05:38who jumped on the ships of BIFAR

05:41from Escoda Shoal to Recto Bank,

05:44which is still inside the EEZ of our country.

05:48This is the first news.

05:54From Escoda Shoal to Lawak and Patag Islands,

05:58to Eroco Reef and Recto Bank,

06:00where BIFAR was given to the Filipino fishermen,

06:02China Coast Guard 21551 followed the BIFAR.

06:08The CCG vessels of the Philippine ships reached several hundred meters

06:12so that the Philippine ships can get close to the video and photos.

06:15Until the BIFAR ships left,

06:18the CCG ship still followed, even though it is going back to the direction of Bataan,

06:21where it is based.

06:23The BIFAR was stopped,

06:26so a radio challenge was issued to the foreign ships.

06:29In accordance with the international and Philippine national laws,

06:33you are within the Philippine EEZ and Philippine mainland.

06:36You are conducting illegal activity under Philippine laws.

06:40All the mentioned places are in the Exclusive Economic Zone of the Philippines.

06:44Even though Patag is small,

06:46one of the smallest islands occupied by the Philippines

06:49here in the West Philippine Sea,

06:51these structures are important for the country

06:54because this part of the ocean near Palawan

06:58is a part of the territory of the Philippines.

07:01According to the Southern Theater Command of the People's Liberation Army of China,

07:05they organized a combat patrol in the sea

07:07and they are going to cross the Scarborough or Panatag Shoal,

07:09which is also inside the Philippine EEZ.

07:12The troops of China will try their best

07:15in reconnaissance, rapid deployment, and joint strikes.

07:18China is also monitoring all foreign military activity

07:21that will cause chaos or tension in the region.

07:24China is not a designated country.

07:26According to the Armed Forces of the Philippines,

07:29there is no indication of Chinese military activity in the Panatag Shoal

07:32according to the initial reports,

07:34except for their illegal occupation of the Chinese maritime militia.

07:38The last time the troops of China were monitored

07:41was outside the Philippine EEZ from July 31 to August 2.

07:46But the AFP confirmed that three Chinese Navy vessels

07:48were involved in the multilateral maritime cooperative activity

07:52of the Philippines, Australia, Canada, and America.

07:55Raffy Tima reporting for GMA Integrated News.

08:00The number of crimes committed in the stations of Trens in Metro Manila is increasing,

08:05which is why some commuters are worried.

08:07Live from Quezon City, we have the first news,

08:10with AJ Gomez.

08:11AJ.

08:15Ivan, from January to July this year,

08:1926 crimes have been reported in the train stations

08:23based on the data of the NCR Police Office.

08:26That is why the commuters we are talking to are worried.

08:31Especially those who ride the train early in the morning.

08:34Grace rides the train every day to work and home.

08:38Her trip is a direct trip to Taft Avenue.

08:41She said she is worried whenever she rides the first trip of the train,

08:45especially when it is still dark.

08:47Why did you remove your bag first?

08:49To avoid theft.

08:51Sometimes there are passengers,

08:53for example, she is a passenger,

08:56but she is a thief.

08:58That is also what she was told.

09:01You need to be extra careful.

09:03Hide your belongings in front of you.

09:06Usually, crime happens early in the morning,

09:09because people are not awake yet.

09:11It is easy to get caught.

09:13According to the NCR Police Office,

09:15the number of crimes committed in the stations of Trens in Metro Manila

09:19is up to 56,

09:21just like the MRT and the subway.

09:24The number of crimes committed in the stations of Trens in Metro Manila

09:27is up to 56,

09:28just like the MRT and the LRT in 2023.

09:32From January to July this year,

09:3426 crimes were committed in the stations of Trens.

09:38According to the NCRPO,

09:40in MRT Cubao, the number of crimes committed

09:43is due to the convergence,

09:45or where many passengers go every day,

09:48followed by Camuning and Guadalupe stations.

09:51That is why Daniel is on full alert whenever he rides the train.

09:54When I travel,

09:56I don't sleep.

09:58So that I don't get caught.

10:02What about your belongings?

10:04Do you just hold them?

10:06In front of me.

10:08I don't use my cell phone.

10:10I just put it in my pocket.

10:13When I travel,

10:15I don't use my cell phone

10:17so that I don't get caught.

10:19Grace added,

10:21for example, if they have money,

10:23they just put it in front of their pockets

10:25so that they don't get caught.

10:26I just put it in my pocket

10:28so that I don't get caught

10:31because it's hard to put it in my pocket.

10:34As much as possible,

10:36use a sturdy bag, said Darwin.

10:38The bags that I use

10:40are usually not ordinary.

10:43They are double-locked.

10:45It's not easy to be stolen.

10:48And at the same time,

10:50I will be noticed immediately

10:52if a bag breaks.

10:57Ivan, at this point,

10:59there are already many people

11:01coming and going

11:03to Araneta Center-Cubao Station.

11:05Especially now that it's rush hour.

11:07Most of them are going

11:09to their classes or work.

11:11Let's remind the passengers

11:13of the MRT and LRT

11:16to always be on full alert

11:18to avoid theft

11:20and for our trip to be safe.

11:22And that's the first news

11:24from Cubao in Quezon City

11:26EJ Gomez for GMA Integrated News.

11:32The Department of Agriculture

11:34is preparing for the emergency procurement

11:36of vaccines

11:38to fight the spread of African Swine Fever

11:40in several towns in Batangas.

11:42According to Agriculture Secretary

11:44Francisco Chu Laurel Jr.,

11:46the State of Emergency

11:48must declare the local governments

11:50of the affected areas

11:52to give funds.

11:54Assistant Secretary Dante Palabrica

11:56will not lower the 10,000 doses

11:58of the ASF vaccine

12:00that needs to be paid.

12:02The DA will continue to assist

12:04the affected hungry racers

12:06and will also ask the authorities

12:08to place checkpoints

12:10and to stop the spread of ASF.

12:13As of now, three municipalities

12:15in Batangas are affected

12:17by the ASF outbreak.

12:19The town of Lobo

12:21has declared a state of calamity

12:23because of the ASF.

12:27Ninio Mulac became emotional

12:29during his appearance

12:31in the Senate hearing

12:33regarding the abuse of his son, Sandro.

12:35The Senate and the NBI

12:37have filed two complaints

12:39that were not heard yesterday.

12:41We have first news from Ma'am Gonzalez.

12:46The actor Ninio Mulac

12:48could not stop crying

12:50when the Senate heard

12:52the allegations of sexual harassment

12:54in the entertainment industry.

12:56He was also the victim

12:58of the abuse of his son,

13:00Sandro Mulac.

13:02I was really hurt

13:04when he told me what happened.

13:06So that your son could see

13:08that he was crying

13:10and he could barely

13:12hold his phone.

13:14When he told me,

13:18what he did to him,

13:20whoever it was,

13:22father or parents,

13:23this is what they will feel.

13:25He also went out

13:27in two complaints

13:29of his son,

13:31Jojo Nones and Richard Cruz.

13:33Nones is still sick.

13:35He worked on several projects.

13:37He is our head writer

13:39and I respect him a lot.

13:41I have a lot of respect for him.

13:43So,

13:45I cannot accept

13:47what he did to my son.

13:49The other one,

13:51I don't know him.

13:53I only met him

13:55when the incident happened.

13:57But,

13:59I was really hurt

14:01by Jojo Nones.

14:03And now,

14:05the situation is reversed.

14:07Jojo and Richard

14:09are reversing

14:11what happened

14:13in their comments.

14:15In your story,

14:17where did Sandro go

14:19when he was young?

14:21My son,

14:23he told me

14:25and I found out

14:27before he told me,

14:29he told his brother.

14:31He told me,

14:33he told his brother

14:35that he hoped

14:37nothing would happen to him.

14:41What happened to him

14:43is what Sandro said

14:45to me.

14:47Your blood pressure increased

14:49so the hearing was suspended.

14:51Richard Cruz and Nones

14:53filed a letter of regret.

14:55They explained that

14:57they cannot answer

14:59the media company's policies

15:01on sexual harassment.

15:03They are not regular employees

15:05and are just network consultants.

15:07There are also criminal cases

15:09filed against them by Sandro.

15:11They can refuse the accusation.

15:13The statements that has been

15:15stated here in this letter

15:17are unacceptable.

15:19I just would like to

15:21give a piece of advice

15:23to our government.

15:25Do not pre-empt our questions.

15:27They were suspended

15:29so they can attend the next hearing.

15:31Sandro will also be suspended

15:33so he can attend

15:35but his medical certificate

15:37and NBI's explanation

15:39were not accepted.

15:41Sandro has just undergone

15:43something that has

15:45inflicted emotional

15:47and psychological trauma.

15:49So he is not in

15:51the mental and emotional

15:53condition to attend a hearing.

15:55Mr. Sandro Mulak

15:57is still undergoing

15:59psychiatric evaluation

16:01and psychological.

16:03So he cannot attend

16:05because

16:07he was advised

16:09to limit his speech

16:11about the events.

16:13If you're going to

16:15invite Sandro here

16:17there might be

16:19additional pain

16:21or whatever trauma

16:23that he might have.

16:25I just want to

16:27give a piece of advice

16:29to our government.

16:31If you're going to

16:33invite Sandro here

16:35there might be

16:37additional pain

16:39or whatever trauma

16:41that he might have.

16:43If you're going to

16:45invite Sandro here

16:47there might be

16:49additional pain

16:51or whatever trauma

16:53that he

16:56might have.

16:57because we feel that there might be a sexual harassment case.

17:02So what we did was we immediately issued a preventive suspension order

17:07to the two being accused by Mr. Sandro Mulac.

17:11And now we are waiting for their reply

17:14because, of course, we follow the procedures of due process.

17:18We will conduct a fair and thorough investigation.

17:22When the Mulac family first approached Attorney Gozon Valdez,

17:25they asked for extreme confidentiality because the issue is sensitive.

17:30They confronted me and apologized to me.

17:37They apologized to me.

17:38I can forgive you, but you have to pay for what you did.

17:41The Mulac family was led to believe that the GMA Network is not included in their complaint.

17:46You will help the justice system,

17:49not Sandro, but the justice system, to get justice.

17:55Of course, Your Honor.

17:57According to the NBI, the two being accused were also suspended.

18:01Other media networks were also invited to listen,

18:03including ABS-CBN, TV5, and IBC 13, as well as talent agencies.

18:09They assured that they also have police officers in cases of sexual harassment.

18:13This is the first news.

18:15Mav Gonzales for GMA Integrated News.

18:18The second accusation, Plunder, was initiated by former Senator Antonio Trillanes IV

18:23and former President Rodrigo Duterte and Senator Bong Go.

18:26This is the first of the 16 billion pesos Navy Frigate Deal in 2018.

18:32Trillanes was also accused by the Department of Justice of former PSDBM Undersecretary Lloyd Christopher Lau,

18:38former Philippine Navy Chief Vice Admiral Robert M. Pedrad, and seven others.

18:44Trillanes bought two ships from the Philippines under the administration of former President Noy Noy Aquino.

18:52But under the administration of Duterte, a private contractor was asked to agree on the combat management system of the ships.

19:00Duterte and Go forced the Philippine Navy to accept these changes.

19:05Go's answer was proven by the Senate's investigation that there is nothing wrong with the contract.

19:10It was just a bluff against him and former President Duterte.

19:15GMA Integrated News is eager to get the statement of the former president and other accusations.

19:21On July 5, Trillanes first accused Plunder, Duterte and Go of being involved in a project worth more than six billion pesos.

19:35BTS member Suga apologized for a drunk driving incident in Seoul, South Korea.

19:42In a Weverse post, Suga told that he went home on Tuesday after eating and drinking outside.

19:48His electric scooter fell while he parked outside his house.

19:53A police officer noticed Suga and conducted a breathalyzer test.

19:58The result was that he was fined and confiscated his driver's license.

20:03Suga promised that he will not repeat it.
