00:00Meralko will implement an additional charge this August.

00:04According to Meralko, the additional charge is P3 per kilowatt hour.

00:08This means that the additional charge is P7 for those consuming 200 kilowatt hours per month

00:14due to the increase in the transmission charge of the National Grid Corporation of the Philippines

00:18after buying a reserve of electricity.

00:21Some are expecting additional charges for the coming months

00:24due to the non-annulment of NGCP transmission charges

00:28and the increase in the price of electricity from some plants purchased by Meralko.

00:32If there is an increase in the price of electricity,

00:34the price of oil will drop starting tomorrow.

00:37The rollback on gas is P2.45 per liter,

00:41P1.90 on diesel,

00:43and P2.40 on kerosene.

00:45One of the reasons is the drop in the amount of oil imported by China

00:49due to the slowdown of its economy.

00:53Pistons and crankshafts will have a stop on Wednesdays until Friday.

00:59Jeepney drivers from Metro Manila, Iloilo, Bacolod, Davao, Southern Tagalog, and Bicol

01:04will be allowed to study the POV modernization program again.

01:08In Metro Manila alone, 35,000 jeepney drivers and operators are expected to join.

01:15Pistons are also planning to go to the Supreme Court.

01:18On the other hand, according to the Department of Transportation,

01:21they will start their pursuit of non-franchises.

01:25President Bongbong Marcos said that the implementation of the POV modernization program

01:31will continue despite the recommendation of the Senate to suspend it first.

01:34For GMA Integrated News, Darlene Cai is your witness.

01:39In their meeting earlier in the Senate,

01:41two independent contractors of GMA emotionally denied

01:45the allegations of abuse against Sandro Mulac.

01:49Witness, Sandra Aguinaldo.

01:54This is the first time in public that two actors accused of sexual harassment,

02:01Richard Cruz, the scriptwriter and creative consultant,

02:05and Giorgio Nones, former consultant and director,

02:08are the independent contractors of GMA Entertainment Group.

02:12In front of the Senate Committee on Public Information and Mass Media,

02:15they denied the accusation that the son of veteran actor Nino Mulac was molested.

02:43We didn't do anything wrong to you and you know that in your heart.

02:47Not all of us will tell the truth.

02:52Two more.

02:54In our long history in the industry,

02:56there has never been a single complaint,

02:59whether it's sexual or anything else,

03:01that was filed against us.

03:03That is why we will not destroy the reputation and career that we care about

03:12so that someone can abuse or harass us.

03:17Especially since we know that the son of a famous artist is influenced by the media.

03:23What is our fight against ordinary workers, against them?

03:29We do not deny that we are gay.

03:32In fact, being gay is one of the reasons why we became creative,

03:37artistic, and had the skills needed in the industry.

03:41We have used our whole life,

03:45being gay, in a proper way,

03:48to protect our families.

03:51They have a call to the public.

03:53In the end, we also asked for justice.

03:56We asked for justice for the malicious way they targeted us.

04:00We can prove to the prosecutor's office that we are not guilty.

04:06We just need to wait for the due process.

04:10While we are waiting for that,

04:12we asked the public not to judge us first.

04:17We will get back to the convicted criminals.

04:21In a question posed by Senator Jingo Estrada,

04:23according to some details of the incident,

04:25the Executive Session asked for the two complaints that were submitted by the committee.

04:30After the Executive Session,

04:33where the conversations were confidential,

04:35this is what some Senators said.

04:37We cannot divulge first yet the details of what transpired during the Executive Session.

04:46But what we all understand right now,

04:49there is a strong evidence against these two gentlemen.

04:57Nino read the text messages of his son Sandro and Nones

05:03at 4 a.m. on July 21,

05:06to show that Nones was the first to message Sandro.

05:10In defense of Nones' lawyer,

05:13they did not deny who was the first to text,

05:15but they did not invite Sandro to the hotel room.

05:19I was bitten while drinking.

05:21Ha ha ha ha.

05:23Jojo told me.

05:25Then Sandro answered,

05:27me too.

05:29Then Jojo answered again.

05:31Yes soon, I will cast you.

05:33I will bring you now.

05:35Jojo told me.

05:37Wow sir, looking forward to that too.

05:39Then Jojo answered again.

05:41Do you want?

05:44We have some alcohol here in the room.

05:46You can order some more.

05:48Sandro told me.

05:50Who are you sir?

05:52Ha ha ha ha.

05:54And then,

05:56Sandro did not reply for a long time.

05:58Of course, the child saw that he was alone,

06:00he did not answer.

06:02It's scary, right?

06:06Okay, so

06:08after a while,

06:10he realized that he did not answer.

06:12Ha ha ha.

06:14Just kidding.

06:16I'm with the drama peeps.

06:18But we're wrapping up in a bit.

06:20Are you still there sir?

06:22Can you come here for a while?

06:24Sure. Are you with someone?

06:26No, just me.

06:28Nino also said that

06:30in their first encounter,

06:32Cruz and Nones apologized to him.

06:34They were crying when they apologized.

06:36They were crying, both of them.

06:38And they even offered

06:40to donate

06:42a certain amount

06:44to a charitable institution of my choice.

06:46What can I say to them?

06:48I'm just a human being.

06:50God knows how to forgive.

06:52I can forgive you, but you need to pay for what you did.

06:54The context is

06:56sorry, but we didn't do anything

06:58bad to your son.

07:00In the next hearing,

07:02Nino will also talk to his son

07:04if he can give his consent to the Senate

07:06even through

07:08videoconferencing.

07:10For GMA Integrated News,

07:12Sandra Aguinaldo is your witness.

07:38Video footage of the vice president

07:40was taken from passengers.

07:42Last week, the vice president

07:44called the officers of the police station

07:46and said that they are not only

07:48investigating the public

07:50of the video footage,

07:52but also

07:54the security.

07:56Duterte also included

07:58one of the longest-running list

08:00of reasons for his

08:02resignation from the President's Office.

08:04According to the budget secretary

08:06of the DepEd,

08:08the budget was increased

08:10this year as part of the support
