NewsTranscript
00:00Dozens of OFWs in Kuwait have returned home. The family of the victim, Mark Salazar, was the first one to be replaced in his work bench.
00:08The family of the victim was even more determined in their search for justice.
00:13And live from Paranaque City, Mark Salazar was on the scene.
00:17Mark.
00:21Vicky, last Friday, January 10, we saw that the family of Jenny Alvarado's emotions poured out
00:28in their meeting with Jenny from Kuwait.
00:31We also saw how their emotions changed with anger because they were receiving a different kind of beating.
00:44The family of the OFW Jenny Alvarado, who was killed last Friday,
00:52was replaced by a cry of anger.
00:54Jenny, I love you.
00:57The OFW Jenny Alvarado was not the one who was turned over to them, but a different victim,
01:02the OFW of a Nepali employee in Kuwait.
01:05Her family was not going to cry while they were waiting for their second meeting with the OFW Jenny Alvarado's mother.
01:12We are very worried if she will be the one who will return home. Maybe she will be with him again.
01:20Jenny Alvarado's mother arrived earlier and was picked up by her family.
01:24But the questions of her family did not end here.
01:28Did they really investigate the death of their mother in Kuwait?
01:33If they really investigated properly, why did the Nepali come to us?
01:38It was like they were speeding up the investigation.
01:41The arrival was very fast.
01:43She died on January 2 and arrived immediately on January 10.
01:46That's what I heard.
01:48According to the Nepali who saw her, it's hard for them to believe that she suffocated to death.
01:55Her neck was dislocated.
01:58Her hands were bruised.
02:01They said that she suffocated.
02:03She just fell asleep.
02:05Her nose was swollen.
02:07But why were her hands bruised?
02:09Her neck was bruised.
02:15Her mouth was bruised.
02:17That's why I said that she suffocated to death.
02:20According to the Department of Migrant Workers Secretary Hans Kakdak,
02:23the family is asking for justice for the death of Jenny Alvarado,
02:26who is currently in the Kuwaiti Authority, Parawambola, before the Philippines can take action.
02:31We are awaiting the results of the police report, police investigation, as well as the autopsy results.
02:39From there, we will move to the possibility of filing also a legal claim with respect to Jenny's death.
02:47It is also known who was at fault in the exchange of bodies.
02:51We are moving ahead with the filing of claims against whoever,
02:58I will not name who, but whoever caused the mistake or the error.
03:10From here, we are now traveling to Cavite, to an accredited funeral home in Cavite,
03:16where Jenny will be buried for the autopsy.
03:20She will also be allowed to go home to their home in Montalban, Rizal, for her funeral.
03:26Vicky.
03:27Thank you very much, Mark Salazar.
03:31The National Prize Coordinating Council has recommended to the Department of Agriculture
03:35to declare a food security emergency.
03:38It is to use the NFA buffer stock in the hope of lowering the price of rice.
03:43The Department of Agriculture will support this recommendation.
03:47Ian Cruz is on the scene.
03:52If the 300,000 metric tons of rice, which is the buffer stock of the National Food Authority, is released to the market,
04:00the price of rice could possibly be lowered.
04:03Three to five pesos is really possible, in my opinion.
04:07Especially now that the world prices are lowering.
04:09The NFA could release the rice if the Department of Agriculture declares a food security emergency on rice.
04:18Based on the amended rice tariffication law,
04:21the Food Security Emergency on Rice could be declared if there is a shortage of supply
04:27or if there is a sudden increase in the price experienced.
04:32The data is very clear when we presented to the MPCC.
04:35When the price of rice rose,
04:41the world market,
04:43and the local price also rose,
04:45it maintained until now.
04:48But we lowered the tariff from 35 to 15 percent.
04:52The branded rice did not go down in the market.
04:57It maintained at 60 to 64, as we can see.
05:01We have solid data that shows that this is justified.
05:08This was recommended by the National Price Coordinating Council,
05:12according to the Agriculture Secretary, Francisco Chu Laurel.
05:17Once it comes to my table,
05:22the chances is we will declare to release the stocks of the NFA.
05:28According to Chu Laurel,
05:29the sale of NFA rice in Metro Manila LGU and major cities will start at Php 36 per kilo in February
05:37and will go down to Php 33 in March.
05:41NFA rice can be sold through LGU,
05:46GOCC,
05:47Kadiwa Stores,
05:48and other government agencies.
05:51For now, the harvest season is approaching.
05:54It is very dangerous.
05:55If we have a lot of rice and we cannot release it because of this problem,
06:00then there's a good chance that it will rot.
06:03So, we have to do something.
06:06Tomorrow, Php 48 per kilo of rice for all will be sold at Php 38 per kilo.
06:14On Monday, January 20,
06:17the maximum suggested retail price or MSRP for rice will be set at Php 58 per kilo.
06:25This can be lowered next week
06:28based on their assessment that Php 5,000 to Php 1,000,000
06:33will be the amount of rice that can be proven not to comply with the price set by the NFA.
06:39According to the NFA,
06:40even though there is no hoarding of rice,
06:42but profiteering or the sale of rice
06:46is the reason why the price of rice in the country did not go down.
06:51The DTI will, of course, monitor and enforce the directive of the DA regarding the price.
06:58So, from there, so far, we haven't found anyone yet.
07:01But if in case there is, then we will act accordingly.
07:06Earlier, the DTI and DA visited the farmers in Pasig.
07:11They saw the stable price of rice in the market.
07:16It went down a bit.
07:18Before, Php 58 became Php 53.
07:22They sold it for Php 5.
07:24For example, they can get a lower price.
07:29Before, what I used to buy was Php 65.
07:34Now, it went down a bit.
07:36It's a big thing for us because sometimes, we don't have enough budget.
07:40For GMA Integrated News, Ian Cruz reporting for 24 Hours.
07:45The trip from Valenzuela to Naia will not last more than an hour.
07:51The Metro Manila Subway Project is almost over.
07:55The machine that will run the subway is already installed in Campo Ginaldo in Quezon City.
08:02Mavisol Abduraman is in charge of it.
08:09Campo Ginaldo is now being installed by a tunnel boring machine for the Metro Manila Subway Project.
08:14This is the gigantic equipment.
08:16Next to drilling in the ground,
08:18it will automatically pour cement on the road so that the water can flow.
08:25It's just like this now.
08:27But when it's drilled, it will be like the ones that were previously drilled.
08:31Like in Valenzuela and the Quirino Highway.
08:34The project can even pass through trains.
08:37The total cost of the project is more than Php 21 billion.
08:41To substantially solve a traffic problem,
08:44it is the fastest, most efficient, safest, and affordable, environment-friendly way of transporting as many people as possible in the shortest possible time.
09:00When it's done, the journey from Valenzuela to Senaia will only take 45 minutes.
09:06It's around almost 20 percent.
09:10So, we're targeting partial operations by the end of 2029.
09:18This project has long been overdue.
09:22Tunnel boring machines will be added to simultaneously drill.
09:27A total of 11 machines are expected to operate in the coming years.
09:32For GMA Integrated News, Marisol Abduraman, for Tuto 24 Horas.
09:44Good evening, Kapuso!
09:45I am your brother Kim, who will give you trivia behind the trending news.
09:50Someone was surprised to see a sea in Coronadal City, South Cotabato, which was also filmed.
09:55Was it a coincidence or was it real?
09:58To see is to believe.
10:02Sherrilyn is sure that there is no sea near her hometown in Coronadal, South Cotabato.
10:07That's why she was surprised while she was driving on this road.
10:09This is what she filmed.
10:14I have a cousin who said,
10:15Hey, there's a sea!
10:16It seems like a sea suddenly appeared in her hometown.
10:20It really looks like a sea.
10:22In the sea, you can really see that there are mountains.
10:25Then, the color of the ocean, which is really the same.
10:30But while they were getting closer,
10:32she found out that when the tunnel was finished, she was just looking back.
10:36What she thought was a sea in the distance, turned out to be just a wall of a mall.
10:42It's really amazing because it really looks like a sea.
10:49I can also see it in the comment section.
10:51When they were passing by, they can see that it really looks like a sea.
10:55Is this just an optical illusion?
10:58They are really good at pretending.
11:00You can see one thing that you think it's real, but in reality, it's not.
11:05Brother Kim, how does an optical illusion work?
11:08Brother Kim, what is it?
11:10An optical illusion is a phenomenon where our brain interprets visual stimuli
11:14in a way that does not correspond to their actual physical appearance.
11:18This happens because of the way our brain processes images.
11:22Optical illusions can use colors, light, and patterns
11:25to create images that can mislead our brains.
11:28And this is because the retina or the pellicula,
11:31is capable of perceiving two-dimensional and three-dimensional objects.
11:35Actually, in the video, it really looks like a sea in the distance
11:38because of its shape, width, and color,
11:42and its relationship to other things seen in the video,
11:45like the streets or trees.
11:47And it's also correct that this is what our memory is used to,
11:50that's why our eyes and brain sometimes get confused when we see a similar image.
11:55There are many other optical illusions,
11:57but this is considered one of the oldest optical illusions in the world.
12:06One of the so-called oldest optical illusions in the world
12:09can be found here in the Ayra Batespara Temple in Tamil Nadu in India.
12:14This is a carving of an elephant and a bull that is estimated to be 900 years old.
12:19This is the oldest optical illusion in the world.
12:22This is a carving of an elephant and a bull that is estimated to be 900 years old.
12:27Here you can see that the head of the elephant and the head of the bull are the same.
12:31What's amazing about this is that it's carved in stone,
12:34so it's hard to tell if the head of the animal is the head of the elephant attached to the body of the elephant,
12:40or the head of the bull attached to the body of the bull.
12:44Meanwhile, to find out the trailer behind the final news,
12:47just post a comment,
12:48hashtag Kuya Kim, what's next?
12:50Always remember, the important thing is to know.

15:38A senior citizen was disgraced for the sudden escape of an escalator at Naia Terminal 3.
15:44He was shot twice because of the medical reimbursement for the disgrace.
15:47He was shot by a sniper, so he was shot by your Kapuso Action Man.
15:52His face was injured, his head was bleeding, he had a scratch in his left arm and his left foot was injured.
16:05That's what happened to the 27-year-old Francisco when he arrived at Naia Terminal 3 on September 25, 2023.
16:13He was just returning from a vacation in Sydney, Australia when he was hit by an escalator on the platform.
16:19I was in the middle portion of the escalator during that time.
16:24Then suddenly, the escalator stopped.
16:28So what happened to me, I brought my luggage, my hand carry,
16:33I slipped and rolled down.
16:40They pulled my left foot from knee to down, which needed therapy.
16:46I was able to recover.
16:49I was able to walk.
16:51I was able to walk.
16:52I was able to walk.
16:57Francisco was expecting medical reimbursement from the General Service Division
17:03of the Manila International Airport Authority.
17:05He was still waiting for the release.
17:08When they contacted me, they sent me an email
17:11explaining that they will prepare my claim.
17:15But up to now, I haven't received any results.
17:20Your beloved action man, the Manila International Airport Authority,
17:23explained to the General Service Division
17:26that they have already agreed on their insurance
17:28regarding the medical reimbursement to Francisco.
17:31They assured that they are already processing
17:33almost P25,000 reimbursement for medical and hospital expenses.
17:38The check is expected to be given in the first quarter of 2025.
17:43I'm very grateful for this kind of help from Kapuso Action Center
17:52that really helps people like us who ask for justice.
18:02We will continue our investigation of the Manila International Airport Authority.
18:06For your information, please send it to the Kapuso Action Man Facebook page.
18:11We hope that you will complain of abuse or mistrust.
18:13May justice be done to your Kapuso Action Man.

18:20that was parked in an ATM in Davao City.
18:23According to witnesses, the vehicle ran fast
18:27before it suddenly turned and hit the people in line.

18:35until it hit a laundry shop.
18:38Three of the injured people were lined up in the ATM

18:52resulting in multiple physical injury and damage to property.
18:57The Philippine-China Cooperation continued
19:00the previous arrangement regarding the rotation and resupply missions
19:04in BRP Sierra Madres, Ayung and Siol.
19:06The Department of Foreign Affairs said
19:09after discussing this matter with China
19:11through the Bilateral Consultation Mechanism on the South China Sea.
19:16The two countries also recognized the positive effect
19:20of the Provisional Understanding Agreement on the RORI Missions
19:24and will continue this so that tensions in the region can be maintained.
19:30The BCM was formed through the issue of the presence
19:33of the so-called China's monster ship
19:35and another China Coast Guard vessel in the Philippine Sea.
19:39According to the DFA, the Philippines has already issued
19:42a serious order to those ships.

19:48to remain committed to resolving differences
19:51through dialogue and consultation.
19:56Israel and Hamas agreed to ceasefire
20:02after more than a year of war in Gaza.
20:05The plan was to be implemented on Sunday, January 19,

20:11discussed by the International News Agency, Reuters.
20:16It is agreed that there will be a six-week initial or primary ceasefire phase
20:23including the gradual withdrawal of Israeli forces in Gaza

20:54Based on the latest episode,
20:56we already know who the mastermind of the Palacios killings is.
21:00But is that it?
21:02Especially since there are two more episodes?
21:04According to Karla Bilyana,
21:06there are many more episodes to watch
21:08if you're ready to fall in love again.
21:11Meet Aubrey Carampel.
21:16How ready are you to fall in love again?
21:18Time!
21:19Guilty or not guilty?
21:21Time!
21:22Guilty or not guilty of blocking an ex on social media?
21:25Very guilty!
21:27Guilty or not guilty of having an affair?
21:30A lot! Guilty!
21:33Those are the juicy revelations of Widow's War star, Karla Bilyana
21:37in her interview with Boy Abunda.
21:40But Karla immediately clarified
21:42that she was just joking about having an affair.
21:47Do you have an affair?
21:48I think I have an affair.
21:50But I wouldn't say that I have an affair right now.
21:53But you have feelings?
21:55None.
21:57When Tito Boy asked if it's possible to fall in love again,
22:01I believe it's very possible.
22:03I mean, let's say anything is possible.
22:06But like I said earlier,
22:09I will surrender to God.
22:12I will trust God this year.
22:14So let's see what He has in store for me.
22:18Karla also told us about her killing moment
22:21when she saw the actors Brad Pitt and Javier Bardem
22:25while they were on vacation in Abu Dhabi.
22:28I didn't expect that actually.
22:30Even I was surprised.
22:32Although, of course, we didn't see it up close.
22:35But still, the experience that you're breathing the same air.
22:39Oh my gosh, they're just a distance away.
22:42Karla's affair with George was also discussed in Widow's War.
22:46The finale is tomorrow.
22:48Karla said that her role as George is one of the most difficult roles
22:53because it's so far from her personality.
22:57I'm not confrontational.
22:59If there are issues or anything,
23:01I take my time to think about things, reflect, process.
23:05You're not arrogant like Georgina?
23:07Yes, I'm not.
23:08And I'm not impulsive.
23:10And then sometimes, I just let it go.
23:12In the episode of Widow's War last night,
23:15At last!
23:18My plan to destroy Palacios was also fulfilled.
23:21Jericho, played by Royce Cabrera,
23:24was revealed to be the mastermind of the murders in Palacios Estate.
23:29But Karla said that there are twists waiting for the finale tomorrow.
23:35I promise, even though there are secrets that we revealed this week,
23:40there are more in the last episode.
23:42You'll be surprised.
23:44Until the very last episode, the very last few scenes,
23:48you'll still be surprised.
23:56To our Kapuso in Cebu,
23:58we added color and joy to the Sinulog Festival
