00:00Thousands of jeepney drivers and operators are on Tigil Pasada today
00:06making it difficult for some passengers to travel to Metro Manila.
00:11This was accompanied by a protest by the Pistons
00:14who threw black oil in front of the LCFRB building.
00:19Darlene Cai was there.
00:23Passengers in Caruncio Avenue in Pasig City had a hard time traveling this morning.
00:28People were lining up to wait for vehicles.
00:32Today is the first day of a protest by the Manibela Transport Group
00:35against the POV Modernization Program.
00:38Some passengers in Munoz in Quezon City were also affected
00:42as employees were forced to go to work.
00:45Is this just now?
00:46Yes, it's already late.
00:47Just update us later.
00:49The Philippine National Police and Quezon City LGU gave free rides.
00:53It will also make it difficult for passengers to travel to Dr. A. Santos Avenue in Paranaque City.
00:59In Manila, only tricycles are allowed for passengers who don't have a vehicle.
01:04To our dear passengers, we are asking for mercy.
01:09We have nothing else to do but to tell the government
01:13that if we don't have our traditional jeepneys, they will have a hard time.
01:20According to Manibela, 80,000 jeepney drivers and operators in the Philippines
01:24joined the protest in Tigil Pasada earlier.
01:2630,000 of them are in Metro Manila.
01:30The members of the Transport Group in Pistons threw black oil
01:35in front of the LTFRB office earlier this afternoon.
01:37This is part of their protest against the continuation of the POV Modernization Program.
01:42The administration should ask for mercy to the transport sector.
01:50The President should look at both sides, not just one.
01:56That's why, from Wednesday to Friday,
01:58the Pistons and Manibelas of Tigil Pasada in Metro Manila
02:03and other provinces like Iloilo, Bacolod, Davao, Southern Tagalog and Bicol
02:09According to Metro Manila, 35,000 jeepney drivers and operators
02:13are expected to join the Pistons and Manibelas.
02:16That's all we're asking for.
02:18We just want the government to study the government's program.
02:21The problems of those who joined us earlier,
02:24we will solve them ourselves.
02:27We don't need to be bullied anymore.
02:29The group of Pistons went to the Supreme Court
02:32because they believe that the Senate Resolution 1096
02:37is their first petition.
02:39But the DOTR doesn't stop there.
02:42It will chase away the non-franchisees.
02:45We will start to track down the non-franchisees,
02:52the ones who are expiring.
02:54Most of them are old vehicles.
02:57President Bombong Marcos said earlier
02:59that the implementation of the POV Modernization Program will continue.
03:03Despite the recommendation of the Senate to suspend it.
03:07For the GMA Integrated News,
03:08Darlene Cai, 24 Hours.
03:12The Philippines is planning to protest
03:14the dangerous maneuver of a Chinese jet fighter
03:18against the Philippine Air Force's patrol aircraft
03:21in the West Philippine Sea.
03:23The disappearance of the flares
03:26is not only dangerous,
03:29but it also shows that China's intentions are ambitious.
03:36This is Chino Gaston.
03:41It can be seen from the cockpit of the Philippine Air Force plane
03:44the continuous disappearance of the flares
03:46of a Chinese multi-role fighter jet.
03:48In the video,
03:498 flares came out one by one from the Chinese fighter jet.
03:52It happened on Thursday, August 8,
03:55while the Philippine Air Force's NC212 aircraft was patrolling.
04:00According to AFP Chief General Romeo Browner,
04:03the flares are for defense against missiles
04:06and should not be used against other aircraft.
04:09Very dangerous.
04:10For instance,
04:11those flares reached our aircraft.
04:15It can hit the propeller or the intake
04:21or it can even burn our aircraft.
04:24The Philippines is planning to protest
04:26because of what happened.
04:28The Chinese Air Force made a mistake
04:32in the bilateral consultation mechanism talks
04:34where China and the Philippines agreed
04:37to ease tensions in the West Philippine Sea.
04:39That's why we talked.
04:40But certainly,
04:41as I said,
04:42we reached an understanding the other week
04:44and then this will happen.
04:45So naturally,
04:46it's something we have to really consider.
04:48Well, I don't know why they did it.
04:50That's what I can say.
04:51It certainly took us by surprise.
04:52The National Maritime Council also discussed
04:55the Philippines' intentions.
04:58But it is expected that this will not be
05:00the last clash between China and the Philippines.
05:03This is a continuous struggle
05:08for presence
05:10and for assertion of sovereign rights in the area.
05:13So you will have to expect these things to happen.
05:16The National Security Council could also condemn this
05:19especially since the Philippine Air Force
05:21conducted a routine mission
05:23using non-combat aircraft
05:26from Mark Pampanga to Bajo de Macinloc.
05:28The use of flares shows hostile intent.
05:32It's like what happens in the sea
05:34where there are water cannons
05:36and laser pointings
05:40was also done in Himpapawid.
05:42This undermines regional stability.
05:45According to the Chinese Southern Theater Command,
05:47Philippine Air Force aircraft entered
05:49while they were conducting military exercises
05:52in the airspace of Bajo de Macinloc.
05:55They gave this as a warning
05:57before it was launched
05:59in accordance with the law.
06:01The Chinese fighter jets used to conduct
06:03dangerous maneuvers
06:05against the enemy
06:07entering their so-called airspace
06:09like what happened
06:11when US and Chinese aircraft
06:13met in 2022 in the East China Sea.
06:15In the midst of China's clashes,
06:17maritime domain awareness flights
06:19and patrols in the West Philippine Sea
06:21will continue.
06:23While the Philippines holds
06:25the right and recognition
06:27of its own EEZ
06:29under international law.
06:31For GMA Integrated News,
06:33who won?
06:3524 Hours.
06:41Good evening Kapuso!
06:43The lead cast of the upcoming GMA series
06:45of Batang Riles
06:47took part in an intense workshop.
06:49Under the guidance of the free director,
06:52the cast of Batang Riles
06:54are now ready to fly.
06:56Let's talk to Lars Santiago.
07:00Before taking part in the taping
07:02of the new GMA Prime series
07:04of Batang Riles,
07:06the cast of Batang Riles
07:08first attended
07:10the intense acting workshop
07:12of the free director,
07:14Loris Guillen.
07:16Present in the workshop were
07:18Miguel Tan Felix,
07:20Roland, Rahil Biria
07:22and Antonio Binzon.
07:24The cast of Batang Riles
07:26also included actress
07:28Desiree Del Valle.
07:30It's a great opportunity for us
07:32to be taught by
07:34a director, Loris Guillen.
07:36Actually, I've been planning this for a long time.
07:38I've been looking forward to this for a long time
07:40and finally, it came true.
07:42Personally, aside from the excitement
07:44of starting Batang Riles,
07:46my takeaway from this
07:48is the craft that I'm doing.
07:50Even though they've been through
07:52a lot of workshops,
07:54what they call
07:56Direct Loris Experience
07:58is still different.
08:00Like what Direct Loris said,
08:02there are no failures here.
08:04The only fail is if you don't try.
08:06I think we all tried.
08:08We didn't learn only in acting.
08:10We got to know each other more here.
08:12We really bonded.
08:14We tried what we couldn't try.
08:16Direct Loris is really good at teaching.
08:18As an actress who's been in the industry
08:20for a long time,
08:22Desiree was inspired
08:24by the five actors
08:26who are just starting their careers.
08:28They're very good.
08:30I just saw their acting chops
08:32and they listen very well
08:34to directions given
08:36and they give
08:38what they're asked for
08:40and they're very hungry.
08:42It's not just acting
08:44and the dramatic scenes
08:46that Miguel, Kokoy,
08:48Bruce, Rahil,
08:50and Antonio look forward to,
08:52but also the action scenes
08:54that will be done by them.
08:56I was surprised when we were reading.
08:58What surprised you?
09:00What?
09:02I asked Direct how we're going to do it
09:04because it seemed impossible
09:06but we discussed it earlier.
09:08Lor Santiago updated
09:10on the showbiz happening.
09:12It was emotional
09:14when the Senate heard
09:16the two independent contractors
09:18of GMA who were accused
09:20of abusing Nino Mulac's son
09:22Sandro.
09:24They could have denied
09:26their alleged accusation
09:28against them.
09:30And Sandra Aguinaldo was found guilty.
09:34This is the first time
09:36that two actors accused
09:38Sandro Mulac of sexual harassment
09:40Richard Cruz,
09:42the script writer and creative consultant
09:44and Giorgio Nones,
09:46former consultant and director
09:48of the independent contractors
09:50of GMA Entertainment Group.
09:52In front of the Senate Committee
09:54on Public Information and Mass Media,
09:56they denied the accusation
09:58that Nino Mulac,
10:00the son of veteran actor, was abused.
10:02We did not commit
10:04any sexual harassment or abuse
10:06against Sandro Mulac.
10:08On this occasion,
10:10in front of all of you,
10:12we hereby deny
10:14all alleged accusations
10:16against us.
10:20Guys, Sandro,
10:22we did not do anything wrong
10:24to you and you know that
10:26in your heart.
10:28It's not the last time.
10:30To tell the truth.
10:32In addition to the two,
10:34in our long time in the industry,
10:36there is no complaint
10:38whether it's sexual
10:40or anything else
10:42that was filed against us.
10:44That's why we will not
10:46destroy
10:48the name,
10:50career and reputation
10:52that we care about
10:54in order to abuse
10:56or harass a person.
10:58Especially since we know
11:00that he is the son of a famous actor
11:02and his family is influential.
11:04What is our fight
11:06against ordinary workers
11:08against them?
11:10We do not deny
11:12that we are gay.
11:14In fact, being gay
11:16is one of the reasons
11:18why we became creative, artistic
11:20and acquired the skills needed
11:22in the industry.
11:24Our whole life, we used
11:26being gay
11:28in a proper way
11:30to protect our families.
11:32They have a call
11:34to the public.
11:36In the end, we are also asking
11:38for justice.
11:40We want justice to give us
11:42a fair judgment.
11:44That's why we can prove
11:46to the prosecutor's office
11:48that we are not guilty.
11:50Let's just wait for the process,
11:52the due process.
11:54While we are waiting for that,
11:56we are asking the people
11:58not to judge us first.
12:00Let the convicted criminals
12:02be judged first.
12:04In Senator Jingo Estrada's question,
12:06in accordance with some details
12:08of the incident,
12:10the Executive Session asked
12:12for the two complaints
12:14submitted by the committee.
12:16After the Executive Session,
12:18where the comments were confidential,
12:20this is what some Senators said.
12:22We cannot divulge first yet
12:24the details
12:26of what transpired
12:28during the Executive Session.
12:30But what we all understand right now
12:32there is a
12:34strong evidence
12:36against these
12:38two gentlemen.
12:40Nino read
12:42in the interrogation
12:44the reply of his son, Sandro,
12:46and Nones at 4 a.m.
12:48on July 21
12:50to show that Nones
12:52was the first to message Sandro.
12:54In defense of Nones' lawyer,
12:56they did not deny who was the first
12:58to text, but they did not
13:00invite Sandro to the hotel room.

17:42In the strong winds, the iron of this house was blown away to Barangay Bayoyong.
17:46Trees also fell on the roads and there was also a landslide.
17:51In Sinai, Tilocosun, a crow was seen.
17:55It lasted for a few minutes but it was not long enough.
17:58Bukhawi and Ipo-Ipo will be flooded if there are intense thunderstorms.
18:03This is possible especially during the Southwest Monsoon or Hanging Habagat.
18:08For now, the heatwave in Visayas continues.

18:14there will be heavy rains in almost the entire Luzon tomorrow.
18:17There will be heavy intense rains, particularly in Ilocos Provinces, Cagayan Valley, Cordillera Region and Palawan.
18:22Also tomorrow, there will be heavy rains in almost the entire Visayas.
18:25That's why we should be extra careful especially during heavy rains or landslides.
18:28In Mindanao, there will be heavy rains in Caragas, Northern Mindanao, Zamboanga Peninsula and Sulu Archipelago.
18:35This will continue until the evening.
18:37It is possible that there will be heavy to intense rains.
18:40Here in Metro Manila, don't forget to bring an umbrella because it is expected to rain tomorrow.
18:45It will be the same on Wednesday when the Olympic Parade will be held.
18:53Meanwhile, let's update on the low-pressure area.
18:56The Philippine Area of Responsibility is now outside.
18:59The LPA is strong and is now in a tropical depression.
19:02It was last seen 1,520 kilometers east-northeast of extreme northern Luzon.

19:11Let's continue with the updates.
