00:00Good news for the people of Luzon and Mindanao,
00:05you will be punished for paying the electric bill.
00:11But bad news for the people of Visayas,
00:14because you have a high ceiling.
00:17Mackie Polido is on fire.
00:23Because it's hard to pay the electricity bill,
00:25Ms. Estrella will have to pay the disconnection notice first.
00:31You're almost going to cry so that your lights won't go out.
00:35Tomorrow, we may find out if in October,
00:38we'll be able to breathe a sigh of relief from the expensive Meralko bill.
00:41But the National Grid Corporation of the Philippines, or NGCP,
00:46announced that they will lower their ancillary service,
00:49or reserve of electricity, this month.
00:51This is part of the transmission charge, which is 10% of the Meralko bill.
00:55Good news if you're from Luzon and Mindanao.
00:58Because Luzon and Mindanao will lower the bill by P9 per kilowatt-hour.
01:04Bad news for Visayas,
01:06where the bill will increase by P29 per kilowatt-hour.
01:10Those are pass-through charges and won't go to the NGCP.
01:14For this month, as with last month,
01:16more than 50% of our billing is for ancillary services.
01:21And that proportion is largely driven by market prices in the reserve market.
01:30Half of what the NGCP is now borrowing
01:33is for the treatment of this ancillary service, or reserve of electricity.
01:37When it went on sale in the reserve market in February,
01:40the NGCP had to borrow P5.7 billion from electricity consumers.
01:46Only P1.7 billion was borrowed last June.
01:50The Energy Regulatory Commission is still waiting for a decision
01:53on when the remaining P4 billion will be borrowed.
01:57The NGCP has already announced that they will add more money
02:01if they are forced to contract the reserve of electricity.
02:04But the Department of Energy said
02:06that the reserve of electricity is needed for the supply of electricity to be stronger.
02:10The system's reliability should be prioritized
02:13so that we can avoid any yellow or red alerts.
02:17For GMA Integrated News, Macky Pulido reporting for 24 Hours.
02:22In front of Chinese Premier Li Chang,
02:25President Marco marched to the ASEAN Summit
02:27where he will continue to harass and threaten China in the West Philippine Sea.
02:32According to the Japanese media,
02:34the President told the ASEAN leaders
02:36not to get involved in China's illegal and dangerous actions in the South China Sea.
02:42From Lao People's Democratic Republic,
02:45live on TV, Ivan Mayrena.
02:47Ivan.
02:52Emil, President Bongbong Marcos called his ASEAN leaders
02:56and in front of the Chinese President
02:58to hasten the creation of the ASEAN-China Code of Conduct
03:02to maintain peace in the South China Sea.
03:09In front of Chinese Premier Li Chang,
03:11who was welcomed by China at the ASEAN Summit in Lao PDR,
03:14President Bongbong Marcos tied the incidents of China's aggressive moves against the Philippines to his shoes.
03:22As well as that,
03:24the blocking, bombing of the water cannon,
03:27laser firing,
03:28and deliberate bombing of the Chinese ship in Escoda Shoal
03:31and the bombing of the ships and airplanes of the B-4.
03:35The President said that the Philippines continues to experience harassment and threats from China.
03:40This will show China's continued neglect of the international law.
03:44It is saddening that the overall situation in the South China Sea
03:48remains tense and does not change.
03:50That is why all parties need to be open
03:53to seriously address the disagreements
03:56and reduce tensions.
03:57That is why negotiations for the ASEAN-China Code of Conduct need to be hastened.
04:02In 1992, the creation of the ASEAN-China Code of Conduct began in the South China Sea.
04:06But until now, that is still the topic of discussion.
04:09But the main elements of the agreement,
04:11such as what will be the outcome of it
04:13and whether it will be legally binding,
04:15does not matter.
04:17The simple meaning of the term self-restraint or self-restraint
04:20cannot be agreed upon.
04:22In another separate meeting of the ASEAN-Japan Summit,
04:25the President said that he will consider the transnational problem
04:28as the aggressive actions in the East and South China Sea
04:31that affect the peace and stability of the region
04:34and the duty of ASEAN to maintain maritime security and territorial integrity.
04:39Some countries also expressed concern
04:42about the increasing tensions in the South China Sea,
04:45such as Prime Minister Lawrence Wong of Singapore.
04:47Based on a report by the Agence France-Presse,
04:49he described the issue as live and immediate
04:52and that there could be a serious incident that could lead to war.
04:56But it is not surprising that many countries in ASEAN
04:59are eager to join the Philippines in this discussion.
05:02China's importance in the ASEAN economy is not insignificant.
05:06China is ASEAN's largest trading partner
05:09with a total of 500 billion dollars worth of assets per year.
05:12This is also the third largest source of foreign direct investments.
05:16Through the President,
05:18economic cooperation should not be separated from political security.
05:22The Japan-based media NHK also reported
05:26that the President called on the ASEAN leaders' retreat yesterday
05:29not to be surprised by China's illegal and dangerous actions
05:33in the South China Sea.
05:35The President also said that these actions should be avoided
05:38In the distance of ASEAN,
05:40facing each other against the members
05:42and the silence in the middle of these countries
05:44has weakened him in ASEAN.
05:47NHK's report is based on a copy of the President's speech.
05:51He did not release that video
05:53because usually the leaders' retreat is not discussed.
05:57We tried to ask the President about that.
06:00It is improper for me to disclose anything
06:03that was mentioned in the pub game closed session.
06:08ASEAN-Australia Summit
06:13Emil, just a while ago,
06:14President Bongbong Marcos and Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau
06:18held a bilateral meeting.
06:20The President thanked Canada for its continued support
06:22for the position of the Philippines,
06:24not only for the statements,
06:25but also for its capacity building of the Philippines in the South China Sea.
06:29That is also one of the themes of the President's message
06:33at the ASEAN-Australia Summit in front of Prime Minister Anthony Albanese.
06:37The President thanked Australia for its support
06:40for the position of the Philippines
06:41that should follow the UN Clause
06:43and also the International Law.
06:45Emil.
06:46Ivan, does China have a role
06:48in the statements of the President
06:49in front of Chinese Premier Li Chang?
06:57Yes, Emil.
06:58Media access to the ASEAN-China Summit is limited,
07:01especially when individual leaders are speaking.
07:04But China's position does not change.
07:07They claim that the entire South China Sea
07:10is their territory
07:11and whatever actions they do
07:13is to defend their sovereignty.
07:17It was in 1992, Ivan,
07:18when the idea of building the Code of Conduct
07:21in the South China Sea was introduced.
07:23And in 2002,
07:24China and ASEAN agreed to build the Maritime Code.
07:28But the formal process for that
07:30only started in 2017
07:32and now it's 2024.
07:34Nothing has been built yet.
07:35Why is the process taking so long?
07:37What is taking so long here, Ivan?
07:43You're right, Emil.
07:44We're just new reporters
07:45covering the ASEAN Code of Conduct.
07:49But seriously,
07:50just like what the President said,
07:52there are a few concepts
07:53that cannot be agreed upon.
07:55Something as basic as, for example,
07:56what does self-restraint mean?
07:58It cannot be agreed upon by countries.
08:00What will be the wording of the Code of Conduct?
08:03And of course,
08:04what will be the scope or scope of the Code of Conduct?
08:07And most importantly,
08:08will it be legally binding?
08:11But Emil,
08:12China's actions
08:14do not want to talk multilaterally
08:18or in large numbers.
08:20They want it to be bilateral or one-to-one.
08:22Because of this,
08:23they will be able to play their power
08:26and advantage in negotiations.
08:29Thank you very much,
08:30Ivan Mayrila.
08:33The police are currently investigating
08:35more than 30 Chinese nationals
08:38in Mualbual, Cebu.
08:39They were seen conducting a joint inspection
08:43by several government agencies
08:45for the fire safety of a resort
08:47in Sitio Kalinkin, Barangay Saavedra.
08:50But when the authorities
08:52and individuals spoke,
08:54no one knew how to speak English.
08:57During the inspection at the resort,
08:59more than 30 sets of computers,
09:024 laptops,
09:03and no less than 200 cellphones were recovered.
09:07According to the Police Regional Office 7,
09:10the resort was rented exclusively
09:12by Chinese nationals.
09:17The police contacted the Bureau of Immigration,
09:20DOJ,
09:21and PNP branches
09:23to investigate
09:24if the operation was related to the fire.
09:30In the near future,
09:31to put an end to the fire in the country,
09:34the Labor Department held a job fair
09:37for the unemployed.
09:41But only a few people showed up.
09:44Mark Salazar was there.
09:49The Labor Department held two special job fairs
09:53for the 27,000 displaced POGO workers.
09:59But in this job fair in Makati,
10:01only 7 former POGO employees showed up.
10:05One of them was Mary Jane De Los Reyes,
10:08a former data analyst
10:09in an internet gaming licensee.
10:12Encoding bank transactions,
10:14deposit and withdrawals
10:16of players, online games.
10:19It's bigger compared to normal companies.
10:23When she was invited,
10:24I talked to others,
10:25especially that their work is easy
10:27and their salary is decent
10:29and benefits from legal POGO.
10:32We started with basic pay.
10:34I started with 14K plus allowance,
10:395K.
10:41Then in my four years,
10:44it increased.
10:45And we have allowances,
10:47like house allowance, incentives,
10:50and other allowances that they give.
10:54We are also complete with government benefits.
10:57Even legal, it's a lot.
11:00Before, it was only legal.
11:02It's a waste because it's okay.
11:06Actually, we are minimum,
11:08but you will not feel
11:10the allowance and incentives.
11:13Mary Jane was hired on the spot
11:15as an operation specialist
11:17in a small company.
11:19While Jude was hired
11:21as an asset specialist
11:23in a warehouse.
11:24The Bureau for Local Employment of DOLE noticed
11:27that there were few displaced POGO workers
11:31even though they were told one by one.
11:33What our field offices have done
11:35is that since we have contacts
11:37in their programs,
11:39we are able to communicate
11:41the activities that we do
11:43just like the job fairs
11:45that we are doing now.
11:47In the job fair of Paranaque,
11:49there were 40 former POGO employees
11:51who applied for jobs.
11:53And many of them were hired on the spot.
11:55They are kitchen staff
11:57who work in the POGO establishment.
11:59Now, they are kitchen staff
12:01in private companies
12:03or local employment.
12:05More applicants in the job fair
12:07are those who are working as endos
12:09so they are looking for a new job.
12:11One of them
12:13is PWD, Jeffrey.
12:15Of course,
12:17I need to have
12:19an income.
12:21I applied for a previous job
12:23because I want to try
12:25in a corporate.
12:27Jeffrey is a professional
12:29and from an academy.
12:31But he has a hard time following the labor market.
12:33We will
12:35forward their application
12:37to our recruiters.
12:39Once we are qualified,
12:41we will call you for another set of interview.
12:43The Bureau for Local Employment
12:45said that during Christmas,
12:47the economy is flourishing
12:49so job openings are increasing.
12:51We're expecting
12:53that the performance of the labor market
12:55will be better given that there will be more demands
12:57of former workers, particularly
12:59during this Christmas season.
13:01But the job mismatch
13:03is still an issue.
13:05The correct job
13:07for the right applicant.
13:09For GMA Integrated News,
13:11Mark Salazar
13:13with 24 Hours.
13:17Two presidents
13:19of the party appointed
13:21by Pastor Apolo Quibuloy
13:23in his candidacy.
13:25The statement of one
13:27that they are not a member of the pastor
13:29was answered by another spokesman
13:31of Quibuloy.
13:33The issue of COMELEC in Sandra Aguinaldo's appointment.
13:37The field
13:39of Pastor Apolo Quibuloy
13:41showed some pictures that
13:43his CONA
13:45or Certificate of Nomination and Acceptance
13:47that you are questioning
13:49in COMELEC.
13:51The CONA is the official
13:53of a party that
13:55an individual is a true candidate.
13:57The CONA appointed by Quibuloy
13:59was signed by Atty. Mark Tolentino
14:01who is also a political spokesman
14:03of Quibuloy.
14:05Atty. Mark Tolentino is the president
14:07of the Workers and Peasants Party
14:09or WPP.
14:11In the 2022 elections,
14:13he led the signing of the CONA
14:15by party candidates.
14:17Based on the record of COMELEC,
14:19I am the president of WPP.
14:21I have with me the certification
14:23from the COMELEC.
14:25As you can see, the president
14:27is Mark V. Tolentino.
14:29We also have the authority to sign
14:31the CONA from the COMELEC.
14:33According to Atty. Sunny Matula,
14:35who is a running senator,
14:37he is the president of WPP.
14:39They held a party convention
14:41where they chose
14:43their candidates,
14:45but Tolentino was not there.
14:47They are hijacking
14:49the WPP
14:51to get rid of
14:53Quibuloy.
14:55In our opinion, it's a game
14:57of smoke and mirror
14:59that our countrymen
15:01are playing.
15:03I think they are using
15:05schemes of magicians
15:07to cover
15:09the cases
15:11that Apollo Quibuloy
15:13is facing.
15:15Matula also showed
15:17the sworn list of authorized
15:19signatories in CONA that they submitted
15:21to COMELEC on September 25.
15:23Atty. Tolentino is not on the list.
15:25According to COMELEC,
15:27Tolentino's group also submitted
15:29a list of authorized signatories
15:31to COMELEC.
15:33According to the Commission,
15:35it's possible that there are factions in the party.
15:37We have two authorized signatories.
15:39And therefore,
15:41COMELEC will still resolve.
15:43If COMELEC needs to pass,
15:45only one of the factions will be recognized
15:47and the candidates of the other faction
15:49will be independent candidates.
15:51According to the Supreme Court,
15:53the COMELEC is empowered
15:55to resolve intra-party disputes.
15:57Our basis will always be
15:59the constitutional bylaws
16:01of the political party.
16:03According to the Justice Department,
16:05their cases are under investigation.
16:07That's why Quibuloy is running.
16:09His filing of the Certificate of Candidacy
16:11for Senate
16:13is a dare to the government
16:15to do something fast.
16:17Because
16:19if the time comes
16:21and he is elected
16:23as a senator,
16:25then he will have some sort of
16:27protection already.
16:29But what we want is for him to face
16:31the charges first.
16:33Not to make a mockery
16:35of the election system,
16:37not to make a mockery of democracy.
16:39For GMA Integrated News,
16:41I'm Sandra Aguinaldo,
16:43for 24 Hours.
16:47Julian San Jose
