01:12The most exciting thing about her return is her family.
01:16I am very happy because it is personal for us to be with Nesty
01:20so that we can feel her support as her family.
01:24In addition to the growth of the country,
01:26the pouring of silverware is also a bonus to the Filipino Olympians.

02:08It's also a bonus for the entire Filipino community
02:11because they won two medals and two bronze medals for the country
02:15which put us in the number one slot in Southeast Asia.
02:19Because of Yulo's two gold medals in gymnastics,

02:54How many Filipino Olympians did not attend the welcome event
02:58and awarding ceremony in Malacanang this Tuesday?
03:01Two of them did not say the answer of the Malacanang and the Philippine Olympic Committee in my report.
03:09Of the 22 Filipino athletes who played in the Paris Olympics,
03:13five did not return home this Tuesday.
03:16Ms. Bianca Pagdanganan, we were told that Ms. Bianca Pagdanganan will be in Scotland.
03:22Ma'am Dottie Ardina will be in the U.S.
03:25Plus the three gymnasts, Ms. Alea Finnegan, Ms. Levy Rivivar, and Ms. Emma Malabuyo,
03:31we were told that they will be in the U.S.
03:34But when some netizens asked why there was no welcome event and awarding ceremony in Malacanang,
03:40the gymnast, Ms. Alea Finnegan, replied that they were not told about the event.
03:45Ms. Emma Malabuyo said that she wanted to go, but she was not told about the event.
03:51We tried to get the athletes' permission through text,
03:55call, and be an association that they can count on,
03:59Next, call and be an association that they can count on.
04:03But they still have no answer.
04:05One of them is not in Malacanang, Ms. Dottie Ardina,
04:08the golfer who posted on social media about their lack of uniform for the competition.
04:16But according to the Malacanang and Philippine Olympic Committee,
04:19they were not included in the trip to return the Filipinos to the athletes
04:23because they already had a flight to other countries.
04:26There is no connection to the issue of the Filipino golfers not attending the Heroes Welcome.
04:31They will explain it to us later.
04:34We don't know anything because they left early.
04:40Malacanang also promised that the athletes will still receive their cash incentives.
04:48Pigs are now being sold in Davao Occidental due to the African Swine Fever.
04:54It is expected that 1,000,000 doses of vaccines against ASF will arrive tomorrow.
04:59Bernadette Reyes has a report.
05:04One by one, the Bureau of Animal Industry,
05:07City Veterinary Department,
05:09and the police searched the closed vans and trucks in Edsa, Balintawak, Quezon City.
05:14If there is a load of pigs,
05:15I inspected if they have symptoms of African Swine Fever or ASF.
05:21Sixty pigs were detained in Tandang Soran due to the lack of evidence.
05:26The Department of Agriculture set up inspection sites in various places in Metro Manila
05:32and the province in order to stop the increase of ASF cases.
05:37In Quezon City, there are four inspection sites,
05:40including Laloma, which is considered the legend capital of the Philippines.
05:44There is also one in Valenzuela.
05:48This inspection site in Malanday, Valenzuela,
05:51is the last control point here in Metro Manila
05:53before the pigs can be transported to nearby provinces of Bulacan, Pampanga, and Tarlac
05:59where there is a wide repopulation now.
06:02There is also an inspection site in Santo Tomas, Batangas, Alfonso Cavite, and Calamba, Laguna.
06:09As of August 1, 22 provinces in the country have cases of ASF
06:14according to the Bureau of Animal Industry.
06:16In Davao Occidental, it is only P1,000 if some pigs are sold
06:21after ASF can be transported to three barangays there.
06:25Here in Metro Manila, some buyers are also avoiding pigs.
06:38Tomorrow, a donation of 2,000 doses of vaccine against ASL will arrive.
06:42Vaccination will start on Tuesday.
06:46It's alarming because the vaccine is on the way.
06:49So hopefully, we can contain this.

06:58For Meralco's customers, there is an increasing demand since October.
07:03The Energy Regulatory Commission approved the request of Meralco
07:08to ask its customers to pay for the electricity
07:11Meralco gets from natural gas-fired power plants.
07:15Because of this, it is possible for the price to increase
07:18from P32 to P33 per kilowatt-hour
07:22that will be paid in the next 12 months.
07:26Meralco announced a price increase of more than P3 per kilowatt-hour

07:35Senator Robin Padilla asked for clarification
07:38regarding the issue of rape between husband and wife
07:41in the Senate hearing.
07:43According to a resource person invited by Attorney Lorna Capunan,
07:47no means no.
07:49Rafi Tima has a report.
07:55You have sexual rights to your wife.
07:58You don't choose when you are in heat.
08:03What if your wife doesn't want you?
08:05Are you just going to be a woman?
08:07Senator Robin Padilla asked this question
08:09in the hearing of her committee to the police and media industry
08:12regarding the complaint of sexual harassment
08:15where marital rape was discussed.
08:18According to the resource person, Attorney Lorna Capunan,
08:21a well-known family lawyer and women's rights advocate,
08:23rape can still be considered if one of the spouses doesn't want to have sex.
08:28No means no applies to both genders.
08:32It cannot be forced by the spouse.
08:36The spouse will say,
08:37my head hurts, I don't want to have sex.
08:39The husband forced the woman to have sex.
08:43Is that rape?
08:45The answer is yes.
08:47Under anti-rape law,
08:48a woman can be a victim of rape.
08:51Capunan also clarified that under the law,
08:54it is not the spouse's obligation to obey her husband.
08:58Your spouse is there to serve you,
09:00but she doesn't want to.
09:02What can I do so that my spouse won't complain?
09:06Counseling.
09:07Counseling?
09:08Counseling is needed.
09:11Just pray.
09:13With all due respect,
09:15it is not the wife's obligation to serve the husband.
09:22We amended the family code to remove the obligation of obedience.
09:28We don't have a choice.
09:31The issue there is not legal.
09:34The issue there is psychosocial.
09:38Raffy Tima reporting for GMA Integrated News.

10:05The former barangay officer immediately left.
10:08The victim's cousin thought of a mute to complain.
10:12It hurts because he's my cousin.
10:14The officer defended himself.
10:16He did it because the victim's 10-year-old grandson was hit.
10:20The victim's cousin said that the PWD did it
10:24because he was often bullied by children.
10:27The barangay is trying to confront the PWD.
