NewsTranscript
00:00The State of Calamity declaration in Negros Occidental is now being studied due to the ongoing eruption of Vulcan Canloon.
00:19It will be discussed in the next session of the Sangguniang Panlalawigan.
00:24The State of Calamity can be used for up to P78 million pesos as a quick response fund.
00:30The number of evacuees is increasing.
00:33At present, more than 10,000 residents are temporarily staying in 11 evacuation centers in La Castellana.
00:41Aside from Siksika, the supply of food and other essential needs is also becoming a problem.
00:46Meanwhile, the activity of Canloon is still ongoing.
00:49The Department of Tourism suspended the tourism activities in La Castellana, La Carlota, Bago and Murcia in Negros Occidental.
00:58The same is also the case with Canloon City in Negros Oriental.
01:03President Bongbong Marcos just signed the need to pass the 6.352 trillion peso national budget for 2025.
01:13After the approval of the Bicameral Conference Committee, the 2025 budget was passed yesterday.
01:19The Bicam returned the funds for the assistance for the Kapos Angkita Program or ACAP that was released in the version of the Senate.
01:26But it was reduced to P26 billion from the approval of the Camera to P39 billion.
01:33The Bicam also released the P74 billion subsidy for Peel Health because it has a reserve of P600 billion pesos
01:42and the budget of the Office of the Vice President remains at P733 million pesos,
01:48which is lower than the original request of the OVP of P2 billion pesos.
01:52According to the Presidential Communications Office, it is possible that the President will sign the 2025 budget on December 20.
02:02Meanwhile, there are Chinese who will be deported today as part of the prohibition by President Bongbong Marcos to Pogo in the Philippines.
02:10Live from Pasay, I have news for you.
02:19Good morning.
02:20It was scheduled this morning here in Naia Terminal 1 to return to Xiamen, China,
02:25the 34 Chinese who were deported to Pogo.
02:31It was only 2 a.m. when 34 Chinese nationals were gathered at the detention facility of the Presidential Anti-Organized Crime Commission or PAOC in Pasay.
02:4233 men and 1 woman.
02:45All of them were wearing green detainee t-shirts and handcuffs as security precautions while being lined up to board the bus.
02:52Before they faced deportation back to Xiamen, China,
02:56the Bureau of Immigration investigated if they have criminal cases in the Philippines.
03:00If not, they will be sent back to China where they will face an assessment if they have breached the law.
03:06Cybercrime is prohibited in China.
03:10Pogo Hub activities have become rare.
03:13These deportees came from different Pogo sites.
03:17Some came from Bambantarlak, Porakpampanga, and here in Pasay.
03:22He is one of the Chinese nationals being sent back to China.
03:25He has been living in the Philippines for 5 years.
03:28He was not involved in Pogo activities.
03:31He just sold cellphones.
03:33According to him, he will be separated from his loved ones in the Philippines and their unborn child who is in the hospital.
03:38When he arrives in Xiamen, he will help his wife and his children make visas.
03:44Igor, the security of the detainees has become tight.
03:47Earlier, when the convoy was going to Naia Terminal 1, there were details of the police.
03:54This is the first news from Naia Terminal 1.
03:57Bamalegre for GMA Integrated News.
04:01The Department of Agriculture is asking the National Food Authority, NFA,
04:06to return some of its power to lower the price of food.
04:10According to Agriculture Secretary Francisco Chu Laurel,
04:13the NFA can sell its buffer stock worth Php 29 to Php 30 per kilo.
04:20But since the effective rice stratification law of 2019,
04:24the NFA no longer has the power to buy, sell and import rice.
04:29It is being asked if the Executive Order can be issued by the President
04:33so that the rice can be exported to the Philippines.
04:36It is being asked if the Executive Order can be issued by the President
04:39so that the rice can be exported to the Philippines.
04:41According to the DA, they will consult this with their legal department.
04:45Chu Laurel also said that if the Congress returns some of the former power of the NFA,
04:51the abuse and manipulation of the price of rice will be fought.
04:59The NFA used to register all rice traders.
05:02Now, it's gone.
05:04If the rice trader doesn't follow the agreement,
05:07the NFA can remove the license or permit to operate.
05:12Before, the NFA can import rice to address the shortage.
05:18Now, it's not allowed.
05:19So it's a big thing that the NFA will return its powers.
05:26According to the high price of rice,
05:28we will interview the Department of Agriculture Deputy Spokesperson and Assistant Secretary Joycelle Panlilio.
05:34Good morning.
05:38Good morning Mr. Igan.
05:40Yes.
05:41Good morning to you listeners and viewers.
05:45The committee was informed that there's a shortage of rice,
05:49so we cannot lower the price of rice.
05:52What are the information that the DA has now?
05:56As of now, we are still investigating what our congressmen are saying.
06:02This is in accordance with the mandate of the Department under the Anti-Agricultural Economic Sabotage Act.
06:10The DA is a member of the Council of Anti-Agricultural Economic Sabotage.
06:16We are continuously communicating with the enforcement group
06:20to check the shortage or cartels that are controlling the rice industry.
06:27Why is that?
06:29Because the importation of rice should result in lowering the price of rice in the market.
06:34But they say that the importation is more expensive, so the sale is also expensive.
06:40Is that right, Sec?
06:42Because of the so-called high price of rice,
06:47despite the importation of rice,
06:53the Department has a program to have a good competition in the market
07:00to balance the so-called high price of rice.
07:03We have a rice for all program where the price of rice is only Php40 per kilo.
07:12One more thing, it also depends on our consumers what rice they will buy.
07:19Our program is to give our consumers an option to choose cheap rice, Php40.
07:31We also have the so-called P29 rice that is also available in Kadiwa ng Pangulo store in Metro Manila
07:40and other places in the Laguna area.
07:45But if the price of rice won't go down,
07:48will the DA recommend to reduce the tariff cut on imported rice?
07:56As of now, we haven't seen a reduction in the tariff cut.
08:01We think that if there's no tariff cut, the price of rice might go up,
08:08considering that our foreign exchange is high.
08:11The dollar is higher compared to the past months.
08:14Okay. Let's go back to the NFA.
08:17If the former regulatory powers of the National Food Authority are reversed,
08:23will we be able to solve the root of the problem that the price of rice is expensive?
08:30The return of the regulatory function or power of the NFA will be helpful
08:37because we can see that if there are traders who are selling rice,
08:44their license can be reversed for the price of rice or the sale of rice.
08:52So if they can raise the price, they will sell the rice at a lower price. Is that possible?
08:57Yes. We can do that.
09:00If it's not directly selling and raising the price of rice, we need to go through the NFA.
09:07Okay. If the former regulatory powers of the NFA can't be reversed,
09:11what can we do about the problem of the price of rice?
09:15If you heard about the passing of the rice certification law,
09:22the one that amended our previous law, the fund will be added to help our farmers.
09:29What will happen is that our production will increase.
09:32If we have a lot of supply, the price of our rice will go down.
09:36Okay. Is it enough, Secretary Panlilio, to supply rice for Christmas and New Year?
09:43The supply of our rice is enough.
09:46I expect that there will be no problem in the supply of rice for Christmas and New Year.
09:53How about chicken and pork? Is it still enough?
09:56Yes. For now, our supply is okay.
10:00I have no doubt that there will be a shortage of supplies for Christmas and New Year.
10:06Should the price increase as Christmas approaches?
10:11We will continue to monitor the price of rice.
10:15I'm sorry, of our main products like pork so that there won't be an extraordinary price increase.
10:22Thank you. So that the Filipinos can have a happy Christmas.
10:25That's right.
10:26DAS is Secretary Joyce L. Panlilio. Take care.
10:29Thank you. Merry Christmas and good morning to all of you.
10:34This holiday season is also a spending season.
10:37What are the tips of our fellow Filipinos?
10:40That's what Bea Pinak learned from her first news.
10:43Bea.
10:48Igan, it's already 13 days of Christmas.
10:51We can already feel the Christmas spirit,
10:54but at the same time, it's the hard work of our fellow Filipinos this holiday season.
11:04Christmas. I deserve this.
11:07And it's only occasional.
11:09It's just a few of the things we do every time we spend money, especially this holiday season.
11:14But because the price of groceries is still high,
11:17even though we can already feel the Christmas spirit,
11:19according to some of our fellow Filipinos, we need to be careful in budgeting.
11:23But how?
11:25If you're going to prepare, maybe don't spend too much.
11:29Maybe what's right for you.
11:31I just buy from the stores around.
11:34It's cheaper, ma'am.
11:36That's the only thing our budget can afford these days.
11:40It's not important what gift we have.
11:43What's important is that the family is together.
11:46It's better if you go to the cheap ones, to Divisoria and to Baclaran.
11:51Whatever we have, it's enough for us.
11:54For Connie, the children don't have to run this Christmas.
11:59Her advice?
12:01Before, I used to give 200.
12:04The next 100, I gave 50.
12:07Now, it's going down.
12:09When it's big, I don't give anymore.
12:11Just a kiss.
12:13Because it's the season of giving,
12:15some of us talked about planning to spend a lot this Christmas,
12:19especially for the ones they're going to give to their loved ones.
12:23When I give to my family, I'm really all out.
12:26How can you save?
12:28I'm going to spend all my money.
12:30How about the spending of the Christmas bonus and 13th month pay?
12:34We're saving first.
12:36That's the only important thing we're buying.
12:38We can't spend all the gifts we're going to receive this Christmas.
12:43What about next year?
12:45Those are already spent.
12:47But the remaining, we're spending it slowly.
12:52Whatever is there, we're going to budget it.
12:57Igan, according to what we've talked to you,
13:00the ultimate tip is to spend the Christmas with your loved ones.
13:06That's the first news from Caloocan.
13:08Bea Penlac for GMA Integrated News.
13:16Dear friends, many of our countrymen are using the transportation as a priority.
13:22Many of our countrymen are using the transportation as a priority.
13:27They're not riding motorcycles or taxis.
13:30Even if they're not the riders,
13:32they're using the transportation to go to their destinations.
13:36An important part of riding a motorcycle is using a helmet.
13:41Earlier, we tried this Helmet Cleaning Vendo.
13:45This is my personal helmet.
13:48It went through a three-step process.
13:51First, UV light disinfection, fogging, steaming, and air-drying.
13:57Let's smell it.
14:00What does my helmet smell like?
14:04My helmet smells good.
14:06It smells clean.
14:09It doesn't smell dirty anymore.
14:12Our countrymen, especially motorcycle taxi riders,
14:18have a hard life.
14:20It's hard to travel.
14:21They sweat a lot.
14:22That's why we have a motorcycle taxi rider with us this morning.
14:27Good morning, brother.
14:28Let's go.
14:29You are?
14:30I'm Renato.
14:31Renato.
14:32How many hours are you on the road?
14:34This is my part-time job.
14:36Along the way, I go to and from work.
14:39How many times do you travel?
14:41Five to six passengers.
14:44Five to six passengers a day.
14:46Do you sometimes clean your helmet?
14:51Sometimes.
14:52Not when I'm busy.
14:54But when I have time, I clean it.
14:56Okay.
14:57Here's my question to you.
14:58What does your helmet smell like?
15:00I don't know.
15:03Here.
15:04We'll answer your question about cleaning your helmet.
15:07We'll just put...
15:09Let me show you.
15:11Hold this for a second.
15:12There.
15:14We'll just put...
15:18There.
15:20We'll put P25 in the coin.
15:23Let's close it.
15:24Let's just wait for a few seconds.
15:26The machine will initialize.
15:27And the disinfection process of Renato's helmet will start.
15:33Thank you very much.
15:34Let's just wait for your helmet to be fresh today.
15:40Meanwhile, Kapuso, in other news,
15:43the National Bureau of Investigation assured that they will be fair in the investigation.
15:48The Vice President Sara Duterte and President Bongbong Marcos,
15:53First Lady Lisa Araneta Marcos,
15:55and House Speaker Martin Romualdez,
15:58but the vice president did not attend the NBI
16:01because he did not expect a fair investigation.
16:05We have the first news, June Veneration.
16:10Vice President Sara Duterte did not show up in the investigation of the National Bureau of Investigation.
16:16Only the legal counsel of the NBI came.
16:18She will not come.
16:19That's all. That's all I know.
16:21In the future, is it possible for her to come?
16:23I cannot say. I cannot say.
16:26The second president chose to face the media.
16:29He said that he did not expect a fair investigation.
16:34If you saw the message of the president,
16:43he said that these are the criminal acts that I will not tolerate.
16:48We can see the pronouncements of the president.
16:56There is bias there.
16:59Even if they say that there is an investigation,
17:03they have already decided to file cases.
17:07Before this, the NBI assured that their investigation will be impartial
17:12and they are still not closing the door for the vice president.
17:16Our consensus remains that the investigation will be fair.
17:23We will not interfere.
17:25The investigation will be impartial.
17:27The NBI is the institution that our people can trust.
17:33The investigation was based on the statements of Vice President Duterte
17:37against the president, first lady and house speaker.
17:40Despite this, the vice president said...
17:43Ma'am, do you regret making such a threat to the president and the first lady and the speaker?
17:51No ma'am.
17:52It's good that they know that if I die, I will not die in vain.
17:59Duterte was accused of having a threat to his life and this is documented.
18:04But he did not want to give details to law enforcement agencies because he has no trust.
18:09He wrote to AFP Chief of Staff General Romeo Bronner Jr.
18:14that if a member of the Vice Presidential Security and Protection Group is pulled out,
18:19he will not be accepted as a replacement.
18:21We are exploring private security services.
18:25There are professional security services.
18:28So that's not considered as a private army.
18:32The second president has accepted whatever will happen.
18:35He will also face the cases that will be filed in the court.
18:38Even if he reaches the point where he will be jailed.
18:41I do not plan to leave the country or I do not plan to hide if there will be a warrant of arrest.
18:48Ma'am, mainly because my children are here.
18:51The vice president is also ready to face impeachment complaints against him
18:55regarding the use of confidential funds.
18:57Even though Duterte was accused of having nothing to explain,
19:01he had nothing to do with the preparation of the acknowledgment receipt that came out of the camera.
19:07It was questioned if there are real people who received money from confidential funds.
19:12It is wrong to say that I am evasive.
19:15I am definitely not answering questions about the use of the funds, about confidential funds,
19:21because it pertains to national security and the lives of the people involved in intelligence operations.
19:28It is clear that the use of confidential funds has something to do with the 2028 elections.
19:35If you're in aid of legislation and you want to legislate about confidential funds,
19:41you do not target one office.
19:44Why not call the office of the president who has billions and billions of confidential funds?
19:49Two bills were brought to the camera.
19:51House Bills 11192 and 11193.
19:56This is far from having a clearer regulation on the use of confidential and intelligence funds
20:02and punishment for misuse.
20:05This is far from having a clearer regulation on the use of confidential and intelligence funds
20:09and punishment for misuse.
20:11This is far from having a clearer regulation on the use of confidential and intelligence funds
20:17and punishment for misuse.
20:19This is far from having a clearer regulation on the use of confidential and intelligence funds
20:23and punishment for misuse.
20:25This is far from having a clearer regulation on the use of confidential and intelligence funds
20:30and number one, you need to be a permanent official or employee of the agency
20:42and you need to have a salary grade 24.
20:46This is the first news.
