00:00PhilHealth's answer to the treatment is now more effective.
00:05PhilHealth's answer to their disease is now 50% more effective
00:09and even more effective in heavy procedures such as kidney transplant and angioplasty.
00:15This is Ivan Mayrina.
00:20The most common claim from PhilHealth is low-risk pneumonia.
00:23PhilHealth's answer was only up to 19,500 pesos back then.
00:27But since January 1, PhilHealth's answer is now up to 29,250 pesos.
00:33And that's just one of the thousands of case rates, including our diseases,
00:38in the middle of a new round of increasing the value that PhilHealth will answer.
00:42If you can remember, in February of 2024, we increased by 30%.
00:48And now, before the end of the year, we increased by another round.
00:53This time, it's 50% in around 9,000 packages starting January 1 admissions.
01:01More than 50% increased benefits in other more serious diseases,
01:05including kidney transplant and angioplasty for heart attacks.
01:09In our kidney transplantation package, which used to be 600,000,
01:15now it will reach 800 to 2 million benefits.
01:20In our angioplasty package, which used to be around 30,000 benefit pesos,
01:27now it will reach 530,000 pesos.
01:31This is a big thing for the millions of Filipinos who rely on PhilHealth for medical needs.
01:36This is a life saver for Evelyn Valdez who has been relying on PhilHealth for her dialysis for two years.
01:42A new hope is a cheaper kidney transplant because her savings will go down and she just needs a donor.
01:49I hope I will be able to get a transplant. I will not lose hope and I will strengthen myself.
01:55Since this year, PhilHealth also has benefits for outpatients or those who have been admitted to the hospital,
02:00but they don't need to be confined.
02:02The patients who are brought to the emergency room, they don't admit that they don't have any benefits before.
02:10But now, we came out already with an emergency care package that doesn't need to be confined.
02:18For the GMA Integrated News, Ivan Mejrina for 24 Hours.
02:28The SSS is in charge of the alleged illegal online trafficking of house and lot in San Mateo, Rizal,
02:35which is a foreclosed property of the agency.
02:38This is brought to you by Kapuso Action Man.
02:42Legit and unauthorized must pass through the building.
02:46The move-in is fast and even if you are not a member of the SSS,
02:50you can buy this house and lot in a subdivision in San Mateo, Rizal.
02:56That's the story of the screenshot posted on their social media page online.
03:03But in the investigation of your Kapuso Action Man,
03:06we found out that the alleged property is an acquired asset of the SSS.
03:11The acquired asset is obtained when a property is borrowed from the SSS to be bought
03:17and we were not able to pay for it when we bought it.
03:20We are foreclosing that.
03:22The agency is in charge because there might be a breach in the illegal online trafficking from May this year.
03:30You should ask for a copy of the land title,
03:33you should ask for a copy of the land title,
03:36and we will verify it there.
03:38You will see there if there is an annotation.
03:40If it is annotated, it says that it is a mortgage or foreclosed property of the SSS,
03:44then you should go to the SSS.
03:46If a property is to be bought according to the SSS,
03:49the SSS also does not have a licensed agent or broker.
03:53We sell foreclosed properties of the SSS
03:57through their coordination with our employees.
04:02We have a Housing and Asset Management Department
04:06where the buyers can contact us.
04:09As of now, the posts are gone online
04:13and the social media account of the person who posted has been deactivated.
04:22We will investigate this case.
04:24For your information, please send it to Kapuso Actionman Facebook page.
04:28For any complaints, abuse, or violations,
04:31Kapuso Actionman has the right to take action.
04:38Printing of the envelopes to be used in the national and local elections on May 12 has already begun.
04:45The first day of printing was witnessed by Comelec Chairman George Erwin Garcia.
04:50He was accompanied by Commissioners Nelson Celis and Ray Bulay
04:54and National Printing Office Director Rev. C. Escobedo.
04:57A few minutes later, they showed the first official envelope printed in the National Printing Office
05:06using two new printers borrowed by Miru Systems.
05:10Yesterday, Comelec also showed the envelope face
05:15or the appearance of the envelope for overseas voting.
05:18The envelope contained the names of 66 senatorial aspirants and 156 party list groups.
05:25Those who ran in the election but were disqualified with finality by Comelec
05:31did not include the names in the official printed envelope.
05:34As long as the candidate's decision is final and executory, the envelope has no name.
05:43If the Supreme Court has an action, the Comelec will find a way to comply with the decision or order of the Supreme Court.
05:54According to Comelec, their target is to print 950,000 envelopes every day
06:00so that they can finish the 73 million envelopes within 77 days or until the middle of April.
06:08It was also prepared in case of an emergency.
06:11If we cannot reach the number of envelopes that we want every day,
06:19the National Printing Office has another machine.
06:23The Comelec will do everything necessary just to ensure that all supplies, all forms are ready by the time that our election should be there.
06:36ProVNV, an international certifying entity, started the audit today
06:42in one of the data centers for the election of 2025.
06:45It is part of the process for the International Certification of Comelec for the systems that will be used in the election.

07:11For GMA Integrated News, Sandra Aguinaldo reporting for 24 Hours.
07:18A 13-year-old boy was killed in a fire in Cebu.
07:23He was also burned in Pasay and Manila.
07:26Mark Salazar is reporting.
07:27Early in the morning, residents of Barangay Duljo Fatima in Cebu City woke up from the blaze.
07:37Those trapped climbed the roof along with several children.
07:42With the help of the residents' flashlight, they ran for their lives to be saved.
07:58There were no crows.
08:05But a 13-year-old boy was not allowed to leave his house where the fire started.
08:13Around 3.50 in the morning,
08:18the 13-year-old boy was not seen.
08:22That prompted the adoptive father to ask the assistance of the firefighters
08:31to wake up their child.
08:35The fire was known to have spread to 32 houses.
08:40When the firefighters responded to the fire in Arnaiz Avenue, Barangay 94 in Pasay City,
08:46early in the morning, the situation became critical
08:50because the houses that could be affected were close together.
08:55That's why within more than 10 minutes of the first alarm, the third alarm was declared.
09:03Fortunately, because the fire was spread to Arnaiz Avenue, the firefighters did not have a hard time.
09:10At 2.90 in the afternoon, the fire was declared as a fire-out and no casualties were reported.
09:16The building that was burned down is an old building.
09:20Its contents are mixed.
09:23There are light materials.
09:24As for where the fire started, this is under investigation.
09:32After Pasay, the fire started in Moriones, Tondo, Manila at 2 o'clock in the morning.
09:38The situation is also critical because the houses here are close together and are made of light materials.
09:44The residents themselves are the ones who are extinguishing the fire along with the firefighters.
09:49According to the Bureau of Fire Protection, 15 houses were burned down,
09:52of which 45 families are living there.
09:55Fortunately, only the second alarm was declared and no casualties were reported.
10:01At 3.14 p.m., the fire was declared as a fire-out for the GMA Integrated News, Mark Salazar.
10:08The fire lasted for 24 hours.
10:14Dear viewers, the chance of rain is still being prepared in some parts of the country.
10:18Based on the data of Metro Weather,
10:20tomorrow morning, there will be heavy rain in Cagayan and Isabela.
10:24It is also possible that there will be rain in Cordillera, Mimaropa, and Bicol Region.
10:28It will continue until the afternoon.
10:30It will also rain in Visayas and Mindanao.
10:34There will be heavy and wide rainfall.
10:36It is also possible that there will be landslides.
10:38So, be careful.
10:40For those who are alone in their preparations and on the day of the translation this year,
10:45it will be cloudy in Manila from tomorrow until Thursday.
10:49There is still a chance of localized thunderstorms in the afternoon and evening.
10:53The temperature is between 22 to 30 degrees Celsius.
10:57Thunderstorms and shear lines will continue to affect the country.
11:02Because of the thunderstorms, it will be dangerous for small sea vehicles to sail on the northern seaboard of Northern Luzon.
11:10According to the forecast, the thunderstorms are getting stronger,
11:14so it is expected that the weather will cool down.
11:16In some places in Luzon, especially at night or early in the morning.
11:21Almost Php 70 billion contribution to the SSS
11:26is not yet collected from their employer based on the Commission on Audit.
11:32In the middle of the newly added contribution to the SSS,
11:37which was called a hardship for some groups,
11:40Ma'am Gonzalez was affected.
11:45Leilani's husband died in 2020.
11:48But until now, he has been receiving a monthly pension from the Social Security System or SSS.
11:54His wife worked as a company driver for 25 years.
11:58She also reached almost Php 4,000.
12:01She was a help for the tuition of my youngest son.
12:06That's why Leilani insists that she will pay her own contribution to the SSS every month.
12:11But she admitted that it is heavy in her pocket.
12:14If your salary bracket is big, you won't feel it.
12:19But if you are just a minimum wager, it is hard because of the high expenses.
12:28But starting this January, the employees and employers in the SSS will pay more.
12:34According to the Social Security Act of 2018, the SSS should increase the contribution rate every two years.
12:41As of 2025, the last increase will be 15%.
12:45The employer will pay 10% while the employee will pay 5%.
12:49So if you are a minimum wage earner in Metro Manila,
12:52who receives Php 645 per day,
12:55you will pay Php 700 per month to the SSS,
12:59while your employer will pay Php 1,410.
13:04Some groups increased the contribution to the SSS,
13:08like those who rallied in Philcoa earlier,
13:10who complained that it was in line with the increase in electricity, water, and gas.
13:16In the report of the Commission on Audit of 2023,
13:18they blamed the SSS because they still have more than Php 89 billion
13:23that they cannot collect the premium contribution from private companies as of year-end 2023.
13:29In addition, the unpaid or unremitted premium contributions of the criminal employers
13:37were deducted from their employees.
13:40Based on the records, the criminal employer has more than Php 420,000
13:44and almost Php 71,000 of them are inactive, under temporary suspension,
13:49or have closed and dormant accounts.
13:51This is equivalent to more than Php 25 billion in collectibles.
13:55COA said that this has a direct impact on the stability and performance of the SSS.
14:00We are trying to get the SSS premium, but they still have no contribution.
14:04For GMA Integrated News,
14:06Mav Gonzales of Katutok, 24 Hours.

16:11that she made.
16:13This is for them
16:14because all of their efforts

16:19this is just the way of saying thank you to them
16:23that they're still supporting Super Twins

16:28And yet, they still remember.
16:32The fans also voted
16:34for Nadine's eldest son, Heather,

16:51where Super Twins comes back.
