00:00Good morning. Here are the first news of GMA Integrated News.
00:19The Philippine Coast Guard released a video to show the Chinese maritime militia vessels anchored in Sabina or Escoda Shoal in the West Philippine Sea.
00:32According to PCG spokesperson for the West Philippine Sea, Commodore Jay Tariella,
00:37the militia vessels were not only inspected by the CCG,
00:42but they also talked to the crew of the vessels that they used to know.
00:49It is also clear that there was no formal boarding procedure to question the presence of the militia vessels, even though they were not fishing.
01:00This is an indication that the CCG recognizes the Chinese maritime militia as a partner in their entry into the exclusive economic zones of the Philippines and other countries in the South China Sea.
01:11GMA Integrated News is working hard to get the Chinese embassy's statement on this.
01:18The price of coal is rising. This month, it is expected to rise again in October.
01:24The Energy Regulatory Commission approved the request of Meralco to adjust the rate of electricity they will get from two natural gas-fired power plants.
01:33The price of coal will increase from P32 to P33 cents per kilowatt-hour in 12 months starting in October.
01:42For Meralco customers who consume 200 kilowatt-hours of electricity per month, the increase in electricity bill is P66.
01:52The increase of coal supply in Iloilo is considered a blessing.
01:56However, some are worried that the price of coal is falling.
02:00That is why they are throwing away the excess coal supply.
02:03Live from Iloilo City, we have the first news from Zen Quilantang Sasa of GMA Regional TV.
02:09Zen?
02:15Mariz, the fishermen who were caught in the ocean by Concepcion Iloilo were caught early in the morning.
02:24They were caught about P50 each.
02:33The fishermen in the fish port of Concepcion Iloilo catch up to five tons of fish every day.
02:41According to the local economic enterprise office, the season of catching fish is now the season of catching fish.
02:46That is why it is natural for the catch to be caught early.
02:48Because of this, the price of fish is falling.
02:51From P500 per catty, there are times when it is only P50 per catty.
03:05According to the LEEO, they were able to sell up to four tons of fish.
03:10Some say that the fishermen bought the fish and gave it to the people in the barangay.
03:15The remaining fish is returned to the sea and thrown away.
03:22Okay.
03:27According to the report received by the Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources Region 6,
03:31the price of catching fish in Concepcion Iloilo has fallen for almost a week.
03:35Visayan Sea is looking at the possible effect of the closed season for catching fish and other fish that were caught in November 2023 until March 2024.
03:51It has something to do with increasing the population, increasing the number of fish caught.
03:58Another reason for the increase in the supply of catfish to the town is the number of marine protected areas.
04:04The Iloilo Provincial Agriculture's Office considers the increase of catfish as a great blessing.
04:10But they are worried about the possible harvest of juvenile fish.
04:15We might have less catfish or breeders by November.
04:20If possible, we will do harvesting.
04:27Maris, BFAR 6 has already notified the LGU to sell the remaining catfish from the fish port to the residents of the town.
04:35Maris?
04:36Thank you very much, Zen Kilantan Sasa of GMA Regional TV.
04:41Almost Php14,000 is enough to cover the monthly expenses of a family with five members, according to the Philippine Statistics Authority, PSA.
04:52What can our countrymen say about this?
04:55Here's the first news, Macky Pulido.
04:58In the 2023 Official Poverty Statistics of the Philippine Statistics Authority,
05:03so that it will not be considered as poor, the monthly income of a family should not be less than Php13,873.
05:11This is the so-called Average Poverty Threshold.
05:14PSA said that this amount is enough to cover all the basic needs of a family with five members.
05:21This amount is enough to cover all the basic needs of a family with five members.
05:27The poverty threshold in each region will be different because the price of payments and expenses will be different.
05:33In Metro Manila, the poverty threshold is Php15,713 monthly income.
05:38According to PSA, 69% or almost Php11,000 is for food.
05:44The remaining amount is almost Php5,000 for other expenses,
05:48such as massages, student fees, electricity and water.
05:52What do you think, sir? Is it enough?
05:55Again, it is most likely insufficient because the minimum basic needs.
06:09The idea here is to see what progress we are making as a nation
06:15in terms of reducing the number of families and individuals from that threshold.
06:21Jason earns more than Php15,000 monthly as a construction worker.
06:26When he counted the expenses and payments of his family members,
06:29this is more than his monthly income.
06:32In that case, they are saving the budget for food and there are people who are just walking to avoid massages.
06:38There are fixed expenses, such as houses, water and electricity.
06:43We cannot reduce it, so we need to find other ways to reduce it.
06:49In order to cover the expenses, he needs to borrow money.
06:53We really have a lot of debts.
06:55We are almost paying off our debts every week.
07:00In this account, the savings or payment is not included if someone is sick.
07:04That's why Monica is worried.
07:06She is also a minimum wage earner because she is about to give birth.
07:09We need to pay for the hospital and for the child.
07:13We also need to buy medicines.
07:17The poverty threshold in 2023 is higher than in 2021.
07:23Do you think your statistics reflect the real situation that Filipinos face?
07:29Wait, the numbers, because we said numbers don't lie.
07:33We reduced poverty from 19.9 million to 17.52 million Filipinos.
07:42That's the number.
07:44There is a reduction.
07:45What does that mean?
07:46It means that while our threshold increased because of food prices, our income also increased.
07:54So I agree the threshold might be low, but if we set it at that threshold,
07:59there is still a decrease in terms of poverty incidence.
08:04This is the first news, Mackie Pulido for GMA Integrated News.
08:13The Philippine Olympics are not complete in the Heroes' Welcome in Malacanang last Tuesday.
08:17Palacio said that they traveled to other countries first,
08:21but according to the two Olympics, they were not able to say their destination.
08:25Here is my first news.
08:30From their chartered flight to the preparation of the program and the payment of cash incentives in Malacanang,
08:38the athletes from the 2024 Paris Olympics had a grand welcome home,
08:43but the Philippine contingent was not complete.
08:46When some netizens asked why some Olympians were not there,
08:50the gymnast, Aliyah Finnegan, replied that they were not told about the event.
08:55In a separate question, the gymnast, Emma Malabuyo, replied that she wanted to go,
09:00but she was not told about the event.
09:03GMA Integrated News tried to get the athletes' permission through a text call
09:09and to become their own association, but they were not allowed.
09:13Dottie Ardina, a golfer from Malacanang,
09:16who used to advertise on social media about the lack of a uniform to wear in the competition,
09:23According to the Philippine Olympic Committee,
09:25five athletes were not included in the trip back to the Philippines
09:28because they had a first flight to other countries.
09:32They said they had no connection to any issue.
09:34We were told that Ms. Bianca Pagdanganan will be in Scotland,
09:38and then for a competition, Ms. Dottie Ardina will be in the US,
09:43plus the three gymnasts, Ms. Aliyah Finnegan, Ms. Levy Rivivar, and Ms. Emma Malabuyo,
09:49we were told that they will be in the US.
09:52They will explain the NSA there.
09:55We don't know because they left early.
09:59And even if they were not included in the event,
10:01the athletes who participated in the Paris Olympics will receive a cash incentive from Palacio.
10:06They will not be left behind.
10:08They will be there one by one.
10:09The athletes, the coaches, should coordinate with the Philippine Sports Commission
10:14to refer them to the point person of the Office of the President to claim.
10:19And if ever the athletes or coaches cannot claim personally,
10:24they need to submit an authorization letter and the IDs.
10:31There is an additional incentive for two-time gold medalist Carlos Yulo from a car company.
10:38He will receive a high-end SUV that he hopes to bring to Yulo for a higher success.
10:44It's not just a cash incentive for Carlos and other Olympians
10:49for their competition in the Paris 2024 Olympics.
10:52It's also a cash incentive for the entire Philippine nation
10:55because they won two gold and two bronze medals for the country,
10:59which put us in the number one slot in the entire Southeast Asia.
11:03Pole vaulter EJ Obiana received 3 million pesos from three groups when he visited his alma mater.
11:10In the ranking released by World Athletics after the Olympics,
11:14EJ came down to the third place from being world number two.
11:18EJ was able to host the world-class pole vault meet in the Philippines in September.
11:23Along with the plans to invite the Olympic gold medalist and world number one, Armand Duplantis.
11:29Heroes welcome the LGU in Santa Cruz, Davao del Sur
11:33for the Olympic bronze medalist Nesty Petesho in August 22.
11:37Nesty went home last in December before competing in the Olympics training according to his family.
11:43That's why they are eager to see him.
11:46We are very happy because we are personally with Nesty
11:51so that we can tell him that we support him as his family.
11:56We are excited that he will be able to go home so that we can be together wherever he goes.
12:05Before arriving in Laloma, Quezon City,
12:08some inspection sites were first passed by a truck carrying pork
12:11so that it might not be infected by African Swine Fever.
12:16How is the price of lechon now?
12:19Live from Quezon City, we have the first news from James Agustin.
12:24James.
12:29Good morning, sir.
12:30The price of lechon in Laloma, Quezon City, the capital of the Philippines, is going down.
12:36We were told by the vendors that the market is not doing well,
12:39especially this month of August.
12:41They are expecting that until next month.
12:44The pork from the province that will be lechoned here
12:47has already been inspected before arriving in Metro Manila.
12:52How many are there?
12:53From Camarines Surang, there are 200 pigs that were transported to Laloma, Quezon City for lechoning.
12:58Seven inspection sites were passed by a truck.
13:01The last one is in Laloma, where the Bureau of Animal Industry,
13:05City Veterinary Department, and the police are located.
13:08Before, it was easy for pigs to enter and exit the NCR.
13:11Now, it is difficult to avoid African Swine Fever or ASF.
13:16It is really difficult to travel with pigs now.
13:18If you are going to lechon a pig from ASF, you must have a complete document.
13:23You can't travel if you don't have a complete document.
13:28First, our pigs are blood-sampled for four days before we get the results.
13:35Then, you will receive shipping and vet health.
13:41The vendors favor this kind of restriction.
13:44The price of lechon has dropped.
13:46The cheapest price is Php 5,000 for 4 to 6 kilos.
13:50Php 15,000 for 24 to 25 kilos.
13:53Sometimes, it can be sold. Sometimes, it can't.
13:58It depends on the season.
14:00The season this August is really bad.
14:02It is really difficult to get a pig.
14:04It is really tight. You need a lot of documents that you need to provide.
14:10Maricar bought a lechon that they will mix.
14:13It is the 60th birthday of his mother.
14:17I think it is okay.
14:19It is safe. Not all pigs are like that.
14:24For us, it is safe.
14:25Of course, we have bought it many times.
14:28They won't sell it to us.
14:31That is also what the vendors assure their mothers.
14:35It is guaranteed that our pigs are clean.
14:38There is no disease.
14:39People won't worry because our pigs are secured.
14:43They have documents.
14:44They went through quarantine.
14:46They got a blood sample.
14:52Susan, those who deliver pigs told us that before,
14:55it takes only 1 to 2 days for the pigs to fall.
14:59Now, it takes 3 to 4 days.
15:01It depends on how far the province is.
15:04Because there are a lot of inspection sites that they need to go through.
15:07The inspection sites, for example, here in Laloma, Metro Manila,
15:11it takes 24 hours for the authorities to monitor them.
15:14That is the first news from Quezon City.
15:16I am James Agustin for JEMAI Integrated News.
15:22The double murder complaint was filed by the suspects in the killing of the beauty pageant contestant, Geneva Lopez,
15:28and her lover, Israeli, Yitzhak Cohen.
15:34Five of the family members of Lopez and the PNP-CIDG in the Department of Justice were charged.
15:40Four of them are in the custody of the PNP,
15:43including the two police officers who were shot in the service.
15:47Alias Junjun was also involved in the killing.
15:50He is the key witness who taught at the quarry site where Lopez and Cohen were buried in Capas, Tarlac.
15:58The police ordered the surveillance in some places in Manila
16:02on the third day of the protest by the Manibela group
16:05as part of the Public Transport Modernization Program.
16:09We have live news from Jomer Apresto.
16:12Jomer.
16:16Maris, good morning.
16:17The people of Manila Police District are already here in the Medjola area
16:22as part of the possible protest by the Manibela group.
16:25The barricades were placed at the entrance of Medjola
16:28to ensure that the rallyists cannot enter.
16:31According to the Manila Police District,
16:33aside from Medjola, they are also monitoring the boundary of the Welcome Rotunda.
16:37They said that almost 500 police were dispatched
16:40to ensure that the transport strike will be safe for the public this Friday.
16:44In an interview with GMA Integrated News with Marval Buena,
16:47the chairman of Manibela said that
16:49less than 30,000 jeeps will not travel to Metro Manila
16:54while less than 80,000 jeeps will not travel to the whole country.
16:57According to their strike,
16:59it was announced by President Bongbong Marcos
17:02following the support of the PUV Modernization Program.
17:04We were able to visit several jeeps, including the Juan Luna Divisoria.
17:08Most of the jeeps here are already consolidated,
17:11but they are still supportive.
17:13The group of jeeps continue to fight for their franchise.
17:18They are also pitiful if they do not travel.
17:21They are also pitiful if they do not travel.
17:25The drivers are also pitiful.
17:27The regional members are directly stopping all roads.
17:35We were just resting yesterday because we were very tired.
17:38Because last Monday, we...
17:48Meanwhile, Maris, Manibela said that
17:51their program in Baclaran may end at 5 p.m.
17:56And here is the first news from Manila.
17:58I am Jomer Apresto for GMA Integrated News.
18:03What was expected on Day 3 of the Manibela protest
18:07is not yet starting in Caloocan.
18:09We have live news from Bea Pinlac.
18:12Bea?
18:17Maris, it is already past 7 a.m.
18:19but there is still no sign of the protest
18:22that will be carried out by some jeepney drivers
18:25and operators here in Monumento Circle today.
18:29Monumento Circle is one of the places
18:31where the transport strike should take place here in Metro Manila.
18:35According to the group of Manibela,
18:37their protest will start at 6 a.m.
18:41and will last for three hours.
18:43But for now, the traffic here is still normal.
18:46There are still a lot of jeepney drivers
18:48and there is still no protest.
18:51Some of the jeepney drivers that we talked to
18:53will not be able to participate in the transport strike
18:55because they are already consolidated.
18:58Others are not participating in the program
19:00because they have nothing else to do.
19:05Our operators are not saying anything.
19:07I am just a driver here.
19:09It is modernized. It is natural.
19:11But what they are saying is scary.
19:15We will not stop them.
19:17We will not stop them.
19:19Even if we protest, nothing will happen
19:23because they are the ones in charge,
19:27especially the higher-ups.
19:35Maris, some police officers were deployed here
19:37to monitor the situation.
19:39They also set up a command post
19:42in case there is a planned protest.
19:45According to Manivela Chairman Marval Buena,
19:48it seems that they made a mistake
19:50when they set up their strike centers early today
19:54because they are not ready yet.
19:58The LGUs of free vehicles are already ready.
20:01And that is the first news from Caloocan City,
20:04Bea Pinlac for GMA Integrated News.
20:13Okay, from Binibini Clay and Ginuang Fidel
20:15by Maria Clara and Ibarra,
