00:00Some parts of the country are now covered by the cold because of the Northeast Monsoon or Hanging Amihan.

00:11The northern Luzon is the most affected by the Amihan according to the forecast.

00:15The minimum temperature is recorded at 16.6 degrees Celsius this Monday in Baguio City while the temperature is 25.2 degrees Celsius here in Quezon City.

00:25Because of the Amihan, it is dangerous for small sea vehicles to cross the waters of the Ilocos Provinces, Batanes, Cagayan,

00:35along with the Baboyan Islands, Isabela, and several towns of Aurora, La Union, and Pangasinan.

00:45This is GMA Regional TV News.

00:50We will now bring to you the hot news from Visayas and Mindanao with Cecil Quibod Castro.

00:57Cecil.

01:00Thank you, Rafi.

01:02A married couple in Cebu City was injured when their vehicle fell into the sea.

01:08According to the forecast, the vehicle was stopped by a male driver in front of their house in Barangay Pitos,

01:14but it rose up and fell into the sea.

01:17He tried to stop the vehicle, but because of the weight, he couldn't do it until the vehicle fell asleep and turned around.

01:26His wife was inside the vehicle when the accident happened.

01:31Both were taken to the hospital by the couple who were unharmed.

01:37Surigao del Norte Provincial Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Office recommended

01:42that Surigao Island be placed under a State of Calamity.

01:45The power outage will last for at least a week.

01:49The island's livelihood is already affected because the price of ice and oil for the generator sets has gone up.

01:56The declaration will help to fix the problem.

02:00The submarine cable was damaged, but it took a long time to fix because the first mentioned location of the power plant was wrong.

02:09If the supply of electricity cannot be restored today, the State of Calamity can be declared.

02:18President Bongbong Marcos passed three bills today.

02:22Let's get to the details on the spot of Ivan Mayrina.

02:26Ivan.

02:28Yes Rafi, three bills were passed in Palacanang, Malacanang this morning.

02:32First is the amendment to the Rice Tarification Law.

02:35Second is the amendment to the Bat Refund Program for Non-Resident Tourists.

02:40Third is the Basic Education, Mental Health and Well-Being Promotion Act.

02:44The amendments to the Rice Tarification Law are important.

02:47The amendment to the Rice Competitiveness Enhancement Fund or RCEF.

02:51From P10 billion per year, it was made to P30 billion per year.

02:55The program was extended until 2031.

02:58This is a big help for mechanization and investment in high-quality seeds and training for farmers to improve their productivity.

03:07Post-harvest losses are also given priority in the law, which can add to food security.

03:12The DA will have tighter oversight power in the rice industry.

03:17The Bureau of Plant Industry will have the power to inspect rice warehouses and will have a national database to monitor the grain storage.

03:27Ivan? Go ahead Ivan.

03:36Yes. The Department of Agriculture is also giving power to stabilize the price of agricultural products.

03:43So there will be a sudden increase.

03:45The DA's plan is to get more people to serve as food soldiers and implement DA's programs.

03:53Next, Raffy, the DA's target is to lower the price of rice by up to 10 percent.

04:00Meanwhile, the VAT refund program for non-resident tourists is a big help in improving the tourism industry.

04:06Under the law, any tourist who pays more than P3,000 is entitled to a VAT refund.

04:13Shopping experience is the primary reason for tourists to choose their destination.

04:18The law will help promote the Philippines as a primary tourist and shopping destination in Southeast Asia.

04:25According to Tourism Secretary Tina Frasco, this will greatly help to create more jobs for Filipinos in the tourism industry

04:34because more Filipino products, such as handcrafted items, will be allocated to tourists.

04:40Currently, there are more than five million tourist arrivals. In 2024, this will exceed the 100 percent target.

04:47This is expected to be a bigger number next year.

04:51Lastly, the Basic Education, Mental Health and Well-being Promotion Act addresses the issue of mental health that affects many youths.

04:59In the President's speech, he said that 17 percent of youths think that their lives are in danger,

05:06but less than one percent are affected by mental health professionals.

05:10Under this law, there will be care centers in schools where trained professionals will give counseling and stress management workshops.

05:21That is the latest from the Palace of Malacanang, Raffy.

05:24Thank you very much, Ivan Mayrina.

05:31Homecoming for Miss Universe Asia 2024, Chelsea Manalo, is all set.

05:38Chelsea's arrival in Naia Terminal 1 will be later.

05:42She will be greeted by fans from her historic win as one of the first-ever continental queens.

05:49Chelsea is glowing as always and she is excited to go home.

05:53A beautiful day also yesterday for the homecoming of Miss Grand International 2024 first runner-up, CJ Opiaza.

06:12Queen CJ became emotional because an unexpected addition welcomed her.

06:19CJ is stunning in an ombre gown.

06:22She was present at the press conference.

06:24She was there with the MGI President, Mr. Nawad Itzara Grisil, and several fellow pageant queens.

06:39After more than three decades, the Cardinals won again in the men's basketball of the NCAA.

06:46That was after they lost to the Benil Blazers in Game 2 of the finals with a score of 94-82.

06:52Here's the news from Niko Wahe.

06:56The Mapua Cardinals struggled for 33 years before they won again in the NCAA men's basketball.

07:05That's why they persevered and the Mapua community supported them.

07:10Their family and Mapua alumni were present at the Victory Party.

07:14They felt the success from being runner-up in Season 99.

07:19Last year, it was painful for us.

07:21It's not that easy.

07:22I'm happy because it's the sacrifice of everyone.

07:26Maybe it's our destiny.

07:28We just have to do our part, play hard until the last buzzer.

07:32According to Mapua President and CEO, Dr. Doji Maestre Campo,

07:36the championship was perfect for the centenary of the university in January 2025.

07:41It's actually a result of hard work, grit, and really their passion to win.

07:49Some of the players of Mapua were also part of the victory in 1991 or Season 67, their last championship.

07:56It's the sweetest moment.

07:57Why?

07:58100 years of Mapua, next year, before the season of SAA 110.

08:03That's why it's very timely.

08:05Our motto is, Opens, Win Game, but Defends, Win Championship.

08:11The Season 100 champions were the winners of their past players and supporters.

08:17I dedicate this championship to my brothers.

08:22It's been a long time since we won a championship.

08:24Now, we won a championship again.

08:25I'm a part of the champions now.

08:28Nico Juahe, reporting for GMA Integrated News.

08:33Aside from the two impeachment complaints against Vice President Sara Duterte,

08:38there are also congressmen who told House Secretary General Reginald Velasco

08:44that they will also file a complaint against the Vice President.

09:12there are some congressmen who want to endorse

09:16or even file a new impeachment complaint against Vice President.

09:28The second was endorsed by Makabayan Block.

09:31The endorsement of ACT-Bayan Partylist is possible to be decided today

09:37It is necessary for the complainants to know personally

09:40the things that they are complaining about

09:42before it can be said as a verified complaint.

09:44If it is verified,

10:13that can also be discussed in the hearing of the Justice Committee.
