00:00The hospital of seven students in Iloilo, next to Kulog and Kedlat, near their school.
00:06Witnessed by John Sala of GMA Regional TV.
00:15A part of Maharlika Highway was blown up in the town of Lopez, Quezon
00:18because of the heavy rainfall this morning.
00:22According to the forecast, it will affect Southern Luzon for a long time.
00:27In Lawag City, the weather was clear last night, but the frequent thunderstorms hit several times.
00:33Almost every 10 seconds, the sky becomes bright because of the thunderstorms.
00:38The frequent thunderstorms lasted for almost an hour.
00:43The same thing happened in Bontoc Mountain Province.
00:46The successive lightning strikes resulted in beautiful different display of lights.
00:53In San Joaquin, Iloilo, the seven students of Valverde National High School were discharged from the hospital.
00:59The students were killed after a lightning strike and lightning struck near their school yesterday.
01:05According to the San Joaquin Police, the students were not directly hit by the lightning,
01:10but because of fear, their feelings were hurt and they were killed.
01:14The students, aged 11 to 15, are in good condition now.
01:21For GMA Integrated News, I'm John Sala of GMA Regional TV.
01:26Your witness...
01:29The Senate plans to withdraw the Php 1 billion intelligence funds of the Immigration,
01:33Police, NBI, and Civil Aviation Authority of the Philippines.
01:37That's after Dismissed Bamban Mayor Alice Kuo was released from prison.
01:42Our witness is Darlene Cai.
01:45The Senate will finish the process of the Justice Department of the Bureau of Immigration
01:49on behalf of Sister Alice Kuo, Sheila, and Cassandra Lee Ong,
01:53the Corporate Secretary of the company that is operating in Porac, Cugo,
01:56and its operator.
01:58It is expected to be completed by the end of the long weekend.
02:01And on Tuesday, after they were sent to the Senate hearing,
02:04the Senate will take custody of them.
02:06The Senate coordinated with the Bureau of Immigration
02:10The Senate coordinated with the Bureau of Immigration,
02:14with the DOJ,
02:16as well as the House of Representatives
02:19because there is an outstanding arrest order in the House.
02:23So that there won't be a tug-of-war.
02:26Like Dismissed Mayor Alice Kuo,
02:28the Senate has already issued an arrest warrant for Sheila and Ong.
02:33But the House of Representatives also issued an arrest warrant for Ong,
02:38so they want to take custody of them.
02:41We will continue our investigation,
02:44and sometimes we will be conducted twice a week.
02:48If somebody asks for her presence,
02:50and she is there,
02:51then we can immediately get her to appear on the quad call.
02:56This will be discussed by the Leader of the Camera and Justice Department.
02:59The Senate wants to know how Ong and Kuo were released.
03:03Obviously, there was a racket.
03:07Obviously, this is not an isolated case.
03:12The Bureau of Immigration and other enforcement agencies already have issues.
03:20We will cooperate with the investigation.
03:23I'm sure the Bureau of Immigration will cooperate in finding the truth to this.
03:27Because of the arrest warrant,
03:28the Senate wants to withdraw the billion-peso intelligence funds
03:32of the Immigration, Police, NBI, and Civil Aviation Authority of the Philippines.
03:37According to the Bureau of Immigration and other enforcement agencies,
03:38they will check if they have intelligence funds.
03:41It is not yet clear what vehicle Ong and Kuo used when he went abroad.
03:45We are still trying to get the PNP and BI license plates.
03:49For GMA Integrated News, I am Darlene Kaye, your witness.
03:53Home, chase, and adventures in the playground.
04:03These are the old-school games of the kids.
04:08Now, you can also play with the tablets and smartphones,
04:13even for those who are still young, like 5-year-old Sancho.
04:18So that he can learn how to read the letters on his cell phone
04:23so that he knows what to do.
04:27Sancho learned early on that using a cell phone is a limitation.
04:31When I take his cell phone, he doesn't get angry.
04:35That's what we talked about.
04:37When I say 10, he stops.
04:41When your mom told you to stop, did you follow her?
04:44Yes.
04:45What can happen if you use it for a long time?
04:49I will fall.
04:53But there are kids who are not like Sancho,
04:56who stop using their gadgets whenever they are told that their time is up.
05:00When the parents really took their gadgets,
05:03that's it, the screen time is over,
05:06we can see that their response is that they are really angry.
05:10Their physical activity is lesser,
05:13they are just sitting, watching on their screens,
05:16lesser interactions,
05:18and sometimes when we call them,
05:20they don't turn around because they are so immersed in looking at their screens.
05:26In the study of JAMA Pediatrics,
05:29it was found that there is a correlation between early and long exposure of children to tablets
05:34to more often being angry or grumpy.
05:38It was found in children 3.5 years old
05:41up to 4.5 years old.
05:44Coming from the World Health Organization,
05:46when we are young, it should be a toddler play,
05:49physical activities, our motor skills,
05:52our eye contact,
05:54but when it comes to our screen,
05:56we seem to be stagnant in what we are looking at.
05:59So the skills that need to be mastered are lost.
06:04When there are more screen time of children,
06:07they are not used to regulate or control their emotions.
06:12Parents should be the one to limit, monitor,
06:15and also be more involved in the screen time of the kids.
06:19For JAMA Integrated News,
06:21Jamie Santos is your witness.
06:24A child was killed in Mandaue City because of dengue.
06:27The Department of Health is still studying
06:29if it is safe to use the vaccine against dengue
06:31that is being applied to register in the Food and Drug Administration.
06:35Witness, Jun Veneracion.
06:41A year ago, Axel was admitted to our house
06:45in Mandaue City, Cebu, according to the mother of the child.
06:48The child was only vaccinated for a few days,
06:50but his condition improved when he was given medicine.
06:53When the child's condition returned,
06:55he was brought to Axel's health center.
06:58Here, they referred him to the hospital.
07:00But there were rashes and he was not able to be rescued.
07:04He had a rash on his neck.
07:09He was not able to sit.
07:11His mother did not allow him to sit.
07:14He was not able to use his hands.
07:18That's how it is.
07:19That's how it is.
07:22According to the Department of Health,
07:24more than 150,000 people have been infected with dengue
07:27since January to August 10 of this year.
07:30The number of dengue cases increased by 24%
07:33from July 14 to July 27,
07:36compared to the first two weeks.
07:38President Bongbong Marcos
07:40asked the local officials to lead
07:42the information drive against dengue and leptospirosis.
07:46I urge you all to lead an aggressive information dissemination campaign
07:50to promote a healthy lifestyle and prevent diseases,
07:54such as a campaign to remind our people,
07:58especially children,
08:00against swimming in floodwaters
08:02and to practice personal hygiene
08:05to mitigate the spread of leptospirosis,
08:08mpox, and any other illnesses.
08:11According to the Vaccine Against Dengue,
08:13according to the DOH,
08:15there is one that applies to the Food and Drug Administration.
08:18We are waiting for the FDA's findings.
08:20If they say it's safe and effective,
08:22and they gave a go signal,
08:24then we can consider rolling it out.
08:26For GMA Integrated News,
08:28your June Veneration, Sak-C.
08:32China-built skyscrapers,
08:34radars, and runways
08:36were witnessed by GMA Integrated News
08:38patrolling PCG and BIFAR
08:41in some parts of the West Philippine Sea.
08:43In Subi or Zamora Reef,
08:45a flare is still blowing
08:47when a Philippine airplane passed by.
08:49Sak-C, Joseph Moro.
08:56In the maritime patrol of the Philippine Coast Guard
08:58and Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources
09:00or BIFAR in Ayungin Shul,
09:02almost no one is guarding the forces of China
09:04in the BRP Sierra Madre.
09:06The situation there is calm as the sea.
09:12It's far from what happened on June 17
09:14where the Philippine forces
09:16reached the China Coast Guard.
09:18But in its northern part,
09:20in Pagasa Island,
09:22which is surrounded by Palawan Municipality,
09:24the Chinese maritime militia vessels
09:26are floundering
09:28in the middle of the island.
09:30Some of them are still attached
09:32and almost no one is leaving.
09:34Subi Reef or Zamora Reef
09:36is only a few minutes away from Pagasa.
09:38It was occupied in 1988
09:40by China.
09:42It's a large facility
09:44that can be seen from afar.
09:46It's like we're getting closer to a city.
09:48It also has a long runway.
09:50You'd think there's no one there
09:52but there are some flares
09:54coming from a building.
10:00In the eastern part
10:02of Panata Island,
10:04you can see Panganiban or Mischief Reef.
10:06If there's a mirror to show
10:08how strong China's forces are
10:10in the territories of the West Philippine Sea,
10:12this is it.
10:14In 1995, China first occupied the area
10:16to build a fisherman's shelter.
10:18But now,
10:20there are now condominium units
10:22and military equipment
10:24like radars and long runways.
10:26There are also
10:28countless militia vessels there.
10:30We're now in front of Mischief Reef.
10:32This is where China's military base
10:34is being built.
10:36This is where they take off
10:38when they send their barco
10:40to our
10:42supply missions
10:44on the island.
10:46As you can see,
10:48these are Chinese maritime
10:50militia vessels
10:52that are on standby.
10:54If they need to defend,
10:56they are stationed here.
10:58For so many occasions,
11:00the government of China denied
11:02that they will build a military base here.
11:04In Escoda Shoal,
11:06BRP Teresa Magbanoa
11:08went there after reports
11:10that China is making a complaint.
11:12The situation there seems to be
11:14both worrisome and dangerous.
11:16We urge China to do this kind of activities
11:18again within our own exclusive economic zone.
11:20For GMA Integrated News,
11:22Joseph Morong is your eyewitness.
11:26According to the Chinese Foreign Ministry,
11:28two Philippine aircraft
11:30trespassed
11:32in Zamora Reef's airspace
11:34that they called
11:36Zhu Bixiao.
11:38According to the law,
11:40they did countermeasures.
11:42We're now in
11:44San Mateo.
11:46There, we can see the Sea of Clouds.
11:48It's a perfect spot
11:50for those who are looking for a long weekend
11:52getaway near Metro Manila.
11:54Our eyewitness,
11:56Jamie Santo.
12:00You don't need to go far
12:02to relax
12:04this long weekend.
12:06There are many 1-hour drives
12:08from Metro Manila.
12:10In San Mateo, Rizal,
12:12you'll be full of food
12:14and eyes
12:16full of sight.
12:20For those who like
12:22time-off, noise,
12:24city noise and many problems,
12:26there's a place here in San Mateo,
12:28Rizal, where you'll have
12:30peace of mind and will be distressed
12:32because of the beauty of sight.
12:34Look from here
12:36the Sierra Madre,
12:38the Sea of Clouds,
12:40and the beautiful weather.
12:42Many people come here
12:44to take pictures
12:46in beautiful background
12:48and Instagram-worthy spots.
12:50I'm interested to go here
12:52because I'm a nature lover.
12:54When I checked it,
12:56I bought time
12:58to visit here.
13:00We came here
13:02to send my parents,
13:04senior citizens and kids.
13:06After a busy work,
13:08it's a long weekend.
13:10Did you enjoy it, daddy?
13:12I enjoyed it a lot.
13:14You're not tired even if the stairs are high?
13:16No, I enjoyed it a lot.
