00:00Nightly greetings one and all, Denise Osori here, homegrown and happy to bring you PTV

00:10News Now.

00:11Kicking off our breaking stories tonight, the Justice Department and the country's

00:15premier state university inked a deal to jointly review and update the country's codified

00:20set of criminal laws institutionalized in 1932, more than 92 years back.

00:26Justice Undersecretary Raul Vazquez, who signed on behalf of the DOJ, said the work is tentatively

00:31set for completion by June next year, after which the draft copy of the updated revised

00:36penal code will be sent to Congress for ratification into law.

00:41Vazquez added some 10,000 pieces of legislation or laws of the land have been added to the

00:46revised penal code since 1932.

00:49For her part, UP College of Law Dean Darlene Berberabe said today's deal signing manifests

00:56the shared commitment between the UP and the DOJ in reinforcing the administration

01:01of justice and the rule of law in the country.

01:04Quite a number of laws contained in existing revised penal code are outdated or obsolete

01:10and need updating in the context of the times, one of which is the law on adultery, whose

01:15provisions smack of unfairness and inequality in application.

01:22The electric vehicle sector or industry is on a surge worldwide, to include the United

01:27States, and manufacturers are rosy on an uninterrupted streak with Elon Musk as one of Trump's closest

01:34advisors.

01:35VOA's Geneva Doolot filed this report from the Los Angeles Auto Show.

01:41Earlier in his presidential campaign, Donald Trump bashed Joe Biden for backing electric

01:47vehicles.

01:48Think of this.

01:49He wants electric vehicle mandates that will spell the death of the U.S. auto industry.

01:56In his campaign's closing month, Trump got a big boost from electric vehicle CEO Elon

02:01Musk.

02:02He created the first major American car company in generations, and his rocket company is

02:09the only reason we can now send American astronauts into space.

02:17As you can see, I'm not just MAGA, I'm dark MAGA.

02:22Since Trump's win, Musk has agreed to join his new government to help improve efficiency.

02:28Musk has also seen share prices for his electric vehicle firm Tesla jump more than 25% since

02:35election day, topping $1 trillion in market value for the first time in two years.

02:41So what are electric vehicle manufacturers expecting from a Trump team that includes

02:47the Tesla chief?

02:49At the LA Auto Show, Shiv Sikand is showing off the quad motor, all-electric Draker supercar.

02:56It's super exciting to think that, you know, Elon is there and the president is taking

03:04very seriously and I think will be very powerful for American industry, not just electric cars.

03:11Right across the spectrum, our goal is to be more competitive, particularly, you know,

03:15in the threat of foreign competition.

03:17With Trump promising import tariffs, electric vehicles built in the United States may be

03:23more competitive.

03:24South Korean automaker Hyundai will build its Ioniq 9 electric truck in the U.S. state

03:31of Georgia, says company spokesman Miles Johnson.

03:34An Ioniq 9 will be built there.

03:37There are two battery joint venture plants going into Georgia as well, so the batteries

03:42will be sourced in the U.S. market and the vehicles will be produced in the U.S. market.

03:48So we're committed to the U.S. market.

03:51Electric vehicle manufacturers are also mindful that Trump may end the $7,500 federal tax

03:58credit for EV buyers.

04:00John Thomas of Ampure Charging Systems says it is part of the market's evolution.

04:06Hopefully you're not incentivizing something forever, right, at the end of the day.

04:10Hopefully the incentive is what kicks off an industry and then you slowly pull that

04:14back.

04:15And I think that's been things we've seen in Europe.

04:17The vehicle guide Kelley Blue Book says a record 1.2 million electric vehicles were

04:24sold in the United States last year, accounting for more than 7% of the total U.S. vehicle

04:31market.

04:32Jenny Edulo, VOA News, Los Angeles.

04:39At this juncture, let's turn to my colleague in PTV's Baguio City Studios for what's hot

04:44and happening in the Cordilleras.

04:46Audrey?

05:02This is the Regional Dengue Disease Surveillance Unit, the Department of Health.

05:05There are 20 cases in Dengue, in the province of Benguet, of 10,200.

05:10In Baguio City, there are 88,200.

05:14In Mountain Province, there are 3,000.

05:16In Kalinga and Fugao, there are 2,000.

05:19In Baitakababa and Abra, there are 5,000 cases.

05:23There are 40 cases on the list.

05:27These are just factors.

05:30You either don't know what's going on, or you don't know what's going on.

05:34You either don't know what's going on, or you don't know what's going on.

05:37You either don't know what's going on, or you don't know what's going on.

05:40You either don't know what's going on, or you don't know what's going on.

05:43You either don't know what's going on, or you don't know what's going on.

05:46You either don't know what's going on, or you don't know what's going on.

05:49You either don't know what's going on, or you don't know what's going on.

05:52You either don't know what's going on, or you don't know what's going on.

05:55You either do it, or you do not do it.

05:58Of course, those who don't do it, they contribute.

06:01They don't follow the 4S, they contribute to increasing cases.

06:05The amount of illegal drugs that were confiscated from the Police Regional Office

06:12in Cordillera Administrative Region has increased to 80 million pesos.

06:14The Anti-Illegal Drug Campaign was launched in November.

06:19In November, 1 to 30, the Police were involved in 62 marijuana eradications,

06:269 by-bust operations, 4 search warrant implementations,

06:308 warrants of arrest services, and 6 police responses.

06:34As a result, 88 grams of shabu were confiscated,

06:38which is equivalent to 148,000 fully grown marijuana plants.

06:42Marijuana seedlings, dried marijuana leaves, and fruiting tops,

06:47as well as marijuana oil.

06:4827 drug personalities were involved in the operation.

06:5217 were high-value individuals, and 10 were street-level individuals.

06:57The Benguet Police Provincial Office and the Mountain Province PPO

07:02were also involved in the operation.

07:06This is Audrey Villena, reporting for PTV Cordillera.
