00:00This is the first news of Edsa Busway, the vehicle of the Orient Pacific Corporation.
00:22She refused to comment on the question if it is possible for her to have the plate number 7 on the SUV.
00:29Here's the first news, Joseph Morong.
00:34The driver of this controversial white luxury vehicle explained to the Land Transportation Office
00:40that she is sick and is in a hurry.
00:42Last Sunday night, she entered the northbound lane of Edsa Busway.
00:46But the CCTV footage of the MMDA is not heavy.
00:50The traffic at that time was outside the busway.
00:53The driver was fined Php 7,000.
00:56Transportation Secretary Jaime Bautista said that they are investigating the incident
01:00to find out if there is additional compensation.
01:03The SUV used the protocol plate 7 for the senator.
01:06Upon the driver's request, the vehicle of the Orient Pacific Corporation,
01:11led by Kenneth Tang Gatchalian, is now out of the vehicle.
01:14The congressman is in Valenzuela.
01:16He's a brother of Senator Sherwin Gatchalian.
01:18Is he your brother or brother of the vehicle?
01:21The documents are already in the LTO.
01:24Let's just leave it in the LTO.
01:26Is it possible that you have the plate, but you used it as a brother?
01:30Let's just leave it in the LTO guys.
01:32In a statement, Gatchalian said that he does not consent to the traffic violation of the Orient Pacific Corporation.
01:39The Senate Committee on Public Services is planning to call for a hearing on the issue with Senator Rafi Tulfo, chairman.
01:45The DOTR is studying some changes in the EDSA busway,
01:49especially since it's becoming a threat to those who want to escape from the traffic in EDSA.
01:54One of the changes is to reduce the number of protocol plates issued to government officials.
01:59Two protocol plates are being issued to each senator.
02:02The plate is to be used only by the official.
02:10It's the decision of the SP. I think the SP will know the best.
02:15The Department of Transportation is also considering reversing the EDSA bus carousel.
02:21For example, instead of the EDSA bus carousel,
02:24the northbound buses will be converted to the southbound bus carousel.
02:29This is to prevent the carousel from being damaged.
02:33The busway is now exclusive for the buses, for public utility vehicles.
02:40The bus door is on the right side.
02:43There are safety considerations.
02:48It's easier so that people won't have a hard time getting in.
02:51If it's directed, the passengers won't have a hard time getting in.
02:57They are talking to the companies that operate the busway
03:00and it may be a decision to continue it before the year ends.
03:04This is the first news. Joseph Maurong for GMA Integrated News.
03:11We are still here at the EDSA Ortigas busway.
03:14In a few moments, the passengers will come and go from the EDSA bus carousel.
03:21As you can see, the southbound buses are arriving.
03:26The passengers are getting off the bus.
03:29Some of them are lining up to get on the buses that are coming.
03:34This is really guarded by the traffic enforcers,
03:39the MMDA, the Department of Transportation, and our authorities.
03:43In a few moments, we can see that the lanes of the Ortigas busway
03:47are still wide.
03:51So, the buses are still coming from the north and southbounds.
03:56According to the regulations, the only way for the EDSA carousel to pass
04:04is through the EDSA carousel bus,
04:07and of course, the top five official buses of our government,
04:12and the on-duty emergency vehicles.
04:16But in the past few months that we've had the EDSA bus carousel,
04:22I don't think there was a day that no one was caught
04:26because of the number of passengers passing through the EDSA bus carousel,
04:30even though they know that they are not allowed to pass through here.
04:33That's why the Department of Transportation is studying
04:36how to change their protocols.
04:41And here he is, our guest,
04:43the Department of Transportation Undersecretary for Road Transport and Infrastructure,
04:47Undersecretary Andy Ortega.
04:49Good morning to you, sir.
04:50Hi, Maris. Good morning.
04:52Thank you very much.
04:53Good morning to all of you.
04:55Alright. First of all, what are the possible changes in the protocols
04:59that we can implement so that the buses can still pass through the EDSA bus carousel?
05:04You know, first of all, we will study how many protocol plates we will give,
05:10because we will give two sets to each official,
05:13so we will study that.
05:15Also, up to what level of rank of an official in the government,
05:20DOTR will also study that,
05:23what is the right level that we will give protocol plates.
05:27Because if the number of people who should be given protocol plates is definite,
05:32how will that happen?
05:35You know, sometimes we can't control
05:38where the plates will go,
05:40so even that, if we will give it,
05:43we should give it to the right person and the right vehicle.
05:47That will be our objective,
05:49especially in this incident.
05:52So, one of the things that you are thinking about
05:54is to reverse the direction of those passing through the EDSA bus carousel.
05:59So, for example, the southbound,
06:01you will do the northbound, the buses that will pass through,
06:04and the same for the other side.
06:07We are studying DOTR and LTFRB,
06:11because if we will do the northbound,
06:14almost no one will be able to enter the busway,
06:17because there will be an incident in that,
06:21so it will prevent the plan to enter the busway to almost zero.
06:26But what we will do is,
06:28we will study DOTR and LTFRB,
06:31and we will include the bus operators
06:34so that they will have a reaction or comment on that plan.
06:38It won't cause an accident,
06:41for example, even if there are concrete barriers,
06:45because we know that in the early hours,
06:47especially those that are fast,
06:48what if you will crash because you are reversing?
06:51You know, those concrete barriers,
06:53that will really prevent that vehicle.
06:55But definitely, as I said earlier,
06:58DOTR is studying it,
07:00and we will make sure once we make a decision,
07:03everyone will consider DOTR for that.
07:06So sir, you are still studying,
07:08how soon do we expect these changes to be implemented?
07:11You know, maybe it's good to have at least a month or so of study,
07:16but that's when we will have a decision on that.
07:19Rest assured, DOTR is still studying,
07:23we are here for the safety, convenience,
07:26and accessibility of our bus passengers.
07:29Very quickly, an update on the investigation,
07:32on the one that passed with a 7-seater SUV,
07:37did the driver come to you,
07:39and what will be the outcome of that investigation?
07:43Two things, the driver came out,
07:45we know that the owner of the vehicle,
07:47what the LTO is doing now,
07:49they will look at the license plate,
07:52if the license plate is fake or not,
07:54so that will be the task of LTO.
07:56All right.
07:57And we will keep you updated on this investigation.
07:59Yes, yes.
08:00Nothing will go wrong here, right?
08:02You know, we will follow the law,
08:04that is what our citizens and our President want from us.
08:08All right.
08:09Thank you very much for the information you gave us,
08:12and for your time, for coming here,
08:14to EDSA Bus Carousel,
08:16Undersecretary for Road Transport and Infrastructure
08:19of the Department of Transportation,
08:21Undersecretary Andy Ortega.
08:23Good morning to you.
08:26Thousands of residents were evacuated from Cagayan
08:28because of the storm Marse,
08:30which destroyed some areas.
08:32The supply of electricity in some parts of the province was also cut off.
08:36Live from Santa Ana, Cagayan,
08:38we have the first news,
08:39Jasmine Gabriel Galvan of GMA Regional TV.
08:43Jasmine.
08:46Egan, during these times,
08:48the effect of the storm Marse is still felt here in the province of Cagayan.
08:52The heavy rains are still experienced in a large part of the province.
09:01The impact of the storm Marse is still felt in Santa Ana, Cagayan.
09:05Heavy rains,
09:07strong winds,
09:08you can still hear the sound of the storm.
09:12The roads were flooded with iron.
09:15It is difficult for vehicles to pass through the roads
09:18because of the damaged electricity cables
09:22and the fallen trees.
09:27The houses were destroyed by the storm Marse.
09:30The roof was blown by the wind.
09:32The house was also destroyed.
09:35Suddenly, the wind blew and the rain poured.
09:38Then what happened?
09:39Then the roof of half of the house was blown away.
09:41Okay.
09:42Then we fled here.
09:45The problem is that there is no new construction.
09:50We have to go back to zero.
09:53Because of the strong winds,
09:55that's why it was lost.
09:57I was crying earlier because I was thinking about the children.
10:01Even though the MDR-RMO Santa Ana was accepted,
10:04it was not saved from the storm.
10:06The house's roof fell.
10:08The roof of the lobby of the municipality was also destroyed.
10:11Our building is still new.
10:13We can't believe that because of the strong winds,
10:16the wind and the rain
10:19hit us hard.
10:22I just pray that no one will be harmed.
10:26Many establishments were also destroyed
10:28because of the strong winds brought by the storm Marse.
10:31Some towns in the province also lost their supply of electricity,
10:34such as Santa Ana, Gonzaga, Boguey, Lasam, Lalo, Baggao,
10:39Alacapan, Abulog, Calayan, and Santa Teresita.
10:43Some villages were also not able to pass because of the flood.
10:46More than 6,000 families were evacuated to the evacuation center.
10:56The house behind me
10:58is one of the houses in the province of Cagayan
11:01that was destroyed by the strong winds brought by the storm Marse.
11:05This morning, the clearing operation
11:07was carried out by the authorities in the major roads of the province.
11:11As of now, 13 towns lost their supply of electricity.
11:14Meanwhile, as of 6 a.m.,
11:16more than 13,000 families were evacuated to the evacuation center.
11:20Igana?
11:21Thank you very much, Jasmine Gabriel Galvan of GMA Regional TV.
11:25Take care.
11:28The volcano Canlaon erupted again yesterday.
11:31The Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology
11:34recorded 14 volcanic earthquakes within 24 hours.
11:38The eruption of the volcano can be seen with clouds.
11:41It reached some parts of Canlaon City, Negros Oriental.
11:45Even the villages were affected.
11:47The local government continues to monitor the residents near the volcano.
11:55Dear friends, President Bumbong Marcos will not attend
11:59the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation or APEC Summit
12:02that will be held from November 10 to 16 this year in Lima, Peru.
12:11According to the Presidential Communications Office,
12:13the President will first focus on the country
12:16amidst the effects of the next typhoons.
12:18This is the first time that the President will not attend the annual meeting.
12:22President Marcos appointed Acting Trade and Industry Secretary Maria Cristina Aldeguer-Roque
12:28as the Special Envoy to the APEC Economic Leaders' Week.
12:32The Senate approved the budget of the Philippine Statistics Authority, PSA, for 2025.
12:38Before that, the problem was discussed with the pecking birth certificates of foreign nationals.
12:44The Senate also visited the national IDs.
12:49We have first news from Bea Pinlac.
12:56It's not just Alice Guo's birth certificate.
12:58More than 1,000 pecking birth certificates of foreign nationals
13:02were blocked by the Philippine Statistics Authority.
13:05When the Senate heard about the proposed budget for 2025,
13:10PSA asked if it will conduct an internal audit of the pecking birth certificates.
13:16That was followed by a series of discussions about Guo's appointment.
13:21According to PSA, 14.89 million late birth certificate registrations
13:27from 2010 to 2024.
13:301,627 pecking birth certificates given to foreign nationals
13:36were blocked after the investigation.
13:39But only 1% of those were submitted to the Office of the Solicitor General for cancellation.
13:47The names of foreign nationals were shared to the BI, DFA, and NBI.
13:52Out of those numbers, only 18 were endorsed for cancellation.
13:59This includes Guo Ping.
14:02Government officials are investigating the pecking birth certificate.
14:08The names of those government workers were submitted to the mayor of that town.
14:14But simultaneously, there's also an investigation by the NBI.
14:18Digitalization is one of the reasons why pecking birth certificates are no longer allowed.
14:24But it's not just the pecking birth certificates that are the problem.
14:28Even the national IDs are mixed up.
14:31According to PSA, they have 11 spurious national IDs.
14:37We do have cases of fake national IDs.
14:40It's the correct ID,
14:43but the information that was supplied for that ID is what's fraudulent.
14:49These were also submitted to the NBI for investigation and to be blocked if necessary.
14:55The 2025 budget of the PSA was approved in the plenary
15:00along with the more than P13 billion budget of the National Economic and Development Authority.
15:05This is the first news.
15:07Bea Pinlac for GMA Integrated News.
15:10The price of meat is starting to rise in some families in Pangasinan.
15:16It is expected to rise as Christmas approaches.
15:20First news, CJ Torrida of GMA Regional TV.
15:26The demand for meat is starting to rise, according to some businessmen.
15:30Although the price of meat is high, sales are slowly increasing.
15:36Some businessmen are hoping that the price of meat will rise as Christmas approaches.
15:42Yes, if December approaches, the price of pork and chicken will really rise.
15:50In the Pangasinan family of Mangaldan,
15:53the price of pork per kilo is P340, which was P300 to P320 before.
16:01The price of chicken per kilo is now at P200, which was P180 to P190 before.
16:08The price of beef per kilo is now at P420, which was P400 before.
16:14We are also having a hard time.
16:16Of course, we need to save money.
16:18If you have a lot of money, you won't be able to afford it.
16:21It's not that high.
16:24It's higher than meat, right?
16:27That's why we're getting chicken for mass production.
16:33According to the Samahang Industriya ng Agrikultura o Sinag,
16:36the demand for meat is expected to rise in the next few days.
16:40Sinag promised that the supply will not be affected,
16:43while the demand is rising, especially during the holiday season.
16:46Hopefully, this coming November 15th, the demand will rise.
16:55This is the first news.
16:57CJ Torrida of GMA Regional TV for GMA Integrated News.
17:10Let's talk about the price of some fish in the market
17:13after the storm.
17:15Live from Pasay Public Market,
17:18the first news is from Bea Pinlac.
17:21Bea?
17:25Igan, even though the storm is not yet over,
17:29some fish vendors here in Pasay Public Market are worried
17:34that the price of fish will rise again
17:37due to the possible effects of the Marseille storm.
17:44Ding's fish vendor is from Batangas.
17:47He said that the price of fish has risen after the storm.
17:51And now that there's a new storm,
17:54he's afraid...
17:55It will rise again.
17:57If the storm rises, we'll be in trouble.
18:00Other people, if you give a high price,
18:03they won't accept it.
18:04It's not yet over.
18:06That's also the concern of some vendors in Pasay Public Market,
18:10especially if the supply of fish is affected.
18:13It's rising because of the storm.
18:16It's also a fixation.
18:18After the storm, it might rise again.
18:21That's the effect.
18:22The supply will be lost again.
18:24In some stalls that we saw,
18:26the price of fish is around 130 to 190 pesos per kilo.
18:31200 to 300 pesos per kilo of galunggong.
18:35In Tilapia, it's 120 to 150 pesos.
18:40And 550 pesos per kilo of lapu-lapu.
18:44The rise in the price of fish is affecting the stock market.
18:48Rosalyn also said that there's an increase in the price of fish.
18:51We're also worried because if the price rises,
18:54it's hard for us to give a price to the customers.
18:57Sometimes, the customers are more forgiving.
19:01The customers are used to the price that we give them.
19:06But if it rises, they'll be surprised.
19:09They don't earn much.
19:10We're really more forgiving.
19:12Some discarded their fish,
19:14but the amount of fish they'll buy will be reduced.
19:17I can still afford it,
19:19but I can only buy half a kilo of fish.
19:23I'm just trying to save money
19:27because I don't have enough budget.
19:35Igan, because of the storm,
19:37according to the people we talked to,
19:39they can't do anything but endure.
19:41They can't bear the high price of fish.
19:44But they hope that time will heal
19:47so that they can get back on their feet.
19:50That's the first news from Pasay.
