00:00This is the first time this has happened.
00:08First news!
00:13The Philippines is now in charge of maintaining the monstership of its coastguards in the exclusive economic zone of our country.
00:23According to the Department of Foreign Affairs, the monstership is included in their bilateral consultation mechanism or BCM in Xiamen, China.
00:31The DFA's intention is clear and there is no change in the position of the Philippines.
00:36The DFA first raised diplomatic protests because of the maintenance of the monstership and other ships of China in the exclusive economic zone of the Philippines.
00:45According to the Philippine Coast Guard, BRP Gabriela Silang continues to monitor the monstership
00:51so that it can maintain a distance of 70 nautical miles from the Bales coastline.
00:59The Chinese Foreign Ministry said that they also raised protests because of the intrusion and invasion of the Philippines.
01:07They agreed to dialogue and consultation in the BCM.
01:12The coalition of various groups was formed to support the complaint of impeachment against Vice President Sara Duterte.
01:19The former vice president said that she is ready to file a complaint.
01:23A mass was also held in Edso Shrine for peace and harmony.
01:28First news, Sandra Aguinaldo.
01:34A mass for peace and justice was held in Edso Shrine by various people's organizations,
01:39social movement, and several religious leaders.
01:43Those who attended were wearing a peach ribbon symbolizing the call for impeachment of Vice President Sara Duterte.
01:51Others have stickers on their clothes that say, Impeach Sara Now.
01:56In the mass held by ten people, the name of the vice president was not mentioned,
02:01but the impeachment was mentioned and there was a call for accountability
02:04and protest against corruption and wrongdoing in the society.
02:10Let us explain to the people who should answer where they brought the money of the country,
02:17because this is our moral obligation.
02:21Impeachment is a moral obligation,
02:25that's why many members of the church are here this afternoon because we are protesting.
02:31After the mass, one of the speakers was former Senator Laila de Lima,
02:36one of the people who filed an impeachment complaint against Vice President Sara Duterte.
02:39This is a moral obligation.
02:42Anyone who is trusted by the people should serve with integrity,
02:49not to lie or to spread lies.
02:52A coalition of various groups was also launched to support the impeachment.
02:57Three people filed an impeachment complaint against Vice President Sara,
03:02like Kiko D and former President Cory Aquino,
03:06as well as several victims of the bloody Duterte drug war.
03:09I am one of those who called for impeachment against Vice President Sara.
03:14For my children, I want to have a real and just justice.
03:24I am a member of the EGK family.
03:30I lost my husband.
03:32That's why I'm asking for justice.
03:35It was also announced that they will have a few movements this January
03:39to gather congressmen who support the impeachment.
03:43We asked VP Sara's reaction about this.
03:47The group was also asked if this is a justification for the rally of the Church Of Christ as a support to VP Sara.
03:55My Catholic is bigger in the INC, so there's no need for justice.
04:01This is the first news.
04:03Sandra Aguinaldo for GMA Integrated News.
04:06We are still here in one of the stores inside the Bureau of Plant Industry in Malate, Manila,
04:13where we can see the different stores here.
04:18Of course, this is cheaper because it is here in Kadiwa Store.
04:20This is also in line with the Rice For All program of our government,
04:24where before, you can buy 40 pesos per kilo of rice,
04:28and now you can buy 25% broken rice variety of rice for only 38 pesos.
04:35To give us additional information,
04:38we will talk to Assistant Secretary Arnel De Mesa,
04:40spokesperson of the Department of Agriculture.
04:43Good morning to all of you.
04:45This is Maris.
04:47Hi Maris. Good morning.
04:51All right.
04:53Maris, is Kadiwa Store available for everyone?
04:55Is this 38 pesos per kilo of rice, 25% broken rice variety?
05:02Yes, Maris.
05:03Starting today, we will lower the price of 25% broken rice for all
05:11in all of the Kadiwa of the President's outlets,
05:14including the Kadiwa of the President's Stores in the markets and LRT and MRT stations.
05:25What was the factor to lower the price of 2 pesos per kilo of this variety of rice?
05:31Yes.
05:33Maris, of course, the continuous lowering of the price in the international market,
05:38in Vietnam alone, it went down by 15%.
05:41Also, if you look at it, we started here in Rice For All at 45 pesos,
05:49it went down by 43, became 40, and now it's 38.
05:54We are looking at the trend in the price, that's why we can lower it to 38.
06:02So, can we see in the trend that it will possibly go down to 38 pesos,
06:08this variety of rice?
06:10And can it be sold in more places other than the Kadiwa Stores?
06:16For now, we are really through the Kadiwa, but yesterday,
06:22the whole DA of the Metro Manila Council helped us.
06:26One of the discussions there was to expand the Kadiwa to all the families in Metro Manila.
06:36Now, there are 150 public and private markets in the entire NCR.
06:42We are only in 20 and one of the discussions there was to allow the Kadiwa of the President's Outlets
06:51to be expanded to all the markets in Metro Manila, the 150 outlets.
07:00Alright.
07:02We are different, Sec, because the National Price Coordinating Council
07:07recommended to the Department of Agriculture to declare a food security emergency
07:12to use the NFA buffer stock in order to lower the price of rice.
07:17So, what is the reaction of the DA and what will be the next step of your agency?
07:26We are waiting to receive a copy of the approved resolution of the National Price Coordinating Council.
07:34From there, if we receive a review and approval from Secretary Kiko Chu Laurel Jr.,
07:42we will use the stated declaration or possible declaration
07:48for our National Food Inventory to sell rice to local governments.
07:55That was also one of the discussions yesterday in the meeting of the Metro Manila Council.
08:00Under the amendment of the RTL, the NFA can only sell rice outside calamity relief efforts
08:12if there is a declaration of food security emergency, Maris.
08:20But if it can be used, if it can be approved and the buffer stock can be used,
08:26there will still be sufficient supply for any emergency or calamities.
08:33That's right Maris.
08:36Actually, last year, a large family of the National Food Authority,
08:40more than 300,000 metric tons, is equivalent to almost six million bags.
08:53All right. All right. Thank you very much for the information you gave us in your time.
08:58Assistant Secretary Arnaldo Mesa, spokesperson of the Department of Agriculture.
09:02Good morning to you. Take care.
09:04Thank you Maris. Good morning.
09:06From 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., the MMDA recommended that the office hours of the National Government Agencies in Metro Manila should be made earlier.
09:19We will learn more about this during the Tropico Twin Rush Hour.
09:23First news, Joseph Moro.
09:28More than half a million government officials are working in Metro Manila every day.
09:35The MMDA recommends that most public vehicles should be used,
09:40usually from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., for those who work in the government.
09:46Their trip to and from work is included in the MMDA's rush hour,
09:51or the maximum number of people on the main roads in Metro Manila,
09:55which is from 7 a.m. to 8 a.m., and from 5 a.m. to 6 p.m.
10:00It's okay for us to go to work, but going home is too much.
10:03Last May, the Metro Manila Council and the MMDA tried to make the local government offices in Metro Manila from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.,
10:14but it was made from 7 a.m. to 4 p.m.
10:17They found that 10 percent of the time spent on the trip was reduced,
10:21and that 20 percent of the time spent on the trip was spent on the roads near and around the LGUs.
10:27Although, only a small number of trips were made to the main roads in Metro Manila.
10:33But for the LGUs who made this trip, they are in favor of continuing it.
10:38The time to enter the City Hall is less now compared to the time to enter the schools.
10:48Most of the transactions in the City Hall are done in the morning.
10:51The employees are used to entering the City Hall from 7 a.m. to 4 p.m.,
10:58and they don't get hit by rush hours or peak hours.
11:04It's easier for them to go home.
11:06And for me, there are only a few of us who are left, five employees, because I have eight employees.
11:16The MMDA explained why it's only a part of the 7 a.m. to 4 p.m. schedule due to the traffic.
11:24Because we are not included in all the NGAs.
11:29If all the National Government Agencies will implement the 7 a.m. to 4 p.m. schedule,
11:36it will have a positive effect.
11:40The MMDA wants the 7 a.m. to 4 p.m. schedule of the National Government Agencies in Metro Manila.
11:49The MMDA's target is to submit the recommendation to the President before March,
11:54when the rehabilitation of some parts of Elsa will begin, which is expected to be affected by the traffic.
12:01The MMDA will only wait for the recommendation of several LGUs before submitting the recommendation to the President.
12:08The 7 a.m. to 4 p.m. schedule is better for me because of the traffic.
12:11For me, no, because I'm far away. I will be delayed more.
12:14It's too early. It's hard to wake up.
12:16This is the first news, Joseph Morong for GMA Integrated News.
12:21Poe Francis had a heart attack after he was hit by an accident on his way to the Vatican.
12:30On the other hand, in front of several people, the Pope was wearing a sling on his arm.
12:38The Pope was not injured according to the Vatican.
12:41This is the second injury of the Pope in the past six weeks.
12:44In December, Poe Francis also had a heart attack after he slipped in his room and hit the floor of the bedside table.
12:53More than 100,000 devotees attended the procession of the image of the patron of Cebu City,
13:00or the Penitential Walk with Mary.
13:03It is for the upcoming celebration of the feast of St. Nino.
13:07Live from Cebu City, this is Alen Domingo of GMA Regional TV.

13:17Yes, Maria Espitz Senor.
13:20Today is the second mass, the second day of the Novena,
13:25led by St. Nino here in the Basilica Minore del Santo Nino in Cebu City.
13:32Before the Novena Mass, the Penitential Walk with Mary was held earlier at 4 a.m.
13:38The image of the patron of Cebu City, the Virgin of Guadalupe, was pre-recorded.
13:44Early in the morning, the procession that started from Fuente Usmeña
13:51went here to the Basilica Minore del Santo Nino.
13:55There were devotees who came from other places in the province of Cebu.
13:59Most of them have a vivid image of St. Nino and candles lit.
14:04The first Penitential Walk with Mary was held on the last day of the 9-day Novena,
14:11which is still part of the 460th Fiesta Senor Celebration.
14:15According to the Cebu City Police Office, more than 100,000 devotees were involved in the activity.
14:22At 5 a.m., the image of the Virgin of Guadalupe arrived.
14:28The first Novena Mass was immediately postponed for the last day of the Novenario
14:31to ensure the safety of the procession, both inside and outside the Basilica.
14:39Thousands of police force, multipliers, and other law enforcement units were dispatched.
14:48At 7 a.m., the image of St. Nino and the Virgin of Guadalupe was released
14:55for a translation to St. Joseph National Shrine in Mantawi City.
15:01The religious celebration will continue until tomorrow at the Plovial Parade,
