00:00Let's all become a TAXI!
00:14A TAXI appeared outside the subdivision in Davao City.
00:17The driver suddenly started smoking.
00:20The front part of the vehicle immediately went down with its passengers.
00:25The fire quickly caught fire.
00:28There was also a fire.
00:33President Bambang Marcos is studying the recommendation
00:36to change the working hours of the officials of the National Government Agencies in Metro Manila
00:42as a preparation for the traffic that may lead to the end of the rehabilitation.
00:47Let's take a look!
00:48From 6am to 8am this morning,
00:54almost 40 motorcyclists were found in the area of Santolan, Quezon City
00:59because of the illegal passage of the EDSA busway.
01:02Most of them were motorcyclists.
01:04One of them was labeled as a government van.
01:07Those who were found were fined P5,000.
01:10Aside from those who illegally passed through the EDSA busway,
01:13there were also those who were caught for reckless driving.
01:15Those who did not have a license or a vehicle registration,
01:18and those who did not wear a helmet.
01:20Traffic was expected to be heavy due to the imminent start of the rehabilitation of EDSA in March.
01:26That's why the MMBA plans to recommend that the work schedule of the National Government Agencies in Metro Manila
01:32should be done from 7am to 4pm
01:35so that they will not follow the rush hour.
01:37Yes, I saw that.
01:39We're studying it. If it works, we'll do it.
01:42But it should also be discussed with the commuters.
01:45It's not enough to talk to the traffic enforcers and the administrators of traffic
01:52that have made the suggestion.
01:55We also have to ask the commuting public if it's practical for them.
02:00For GMA Integrated News, I'm Maryse Umaliang Inyo, Saksi.
02:05A big-time all-price hike will be welcomed by motorists tomorrow.
02:09Two pesos and seventy cents will be added to each liter of diesel,
02:13one peso and sixty-five cents to each liter of gasoline,
02:17and two pesos and fifty cents to each liter of kerosene.
02:25Five-point-five magnitude earthquakes hit several parts of Southern and Central Luzon,
02:30as well as Metro Manila, before 7pm tonight.
02:33Its center is 23 kilometers northeast of Lubang Occidental Mindoro,
02:39where Intensity 4 is located.
02:42Intensity 3 is located in Quezon City, Makati, Taguig, or Bando, Bulacan,
02:47Hermosa, Bataan, Cainta, Rizal, and Cabuyao, Laguna.
02:51Intensity 2 is located in Puerto Galera, Oriental Mindoro,
02:54Cuenca and Talisay, Batangas, Tagaytay, and Bacoor, Cavite.
02:59The earthquake was also felt in Muntinlupa,
03:02and aftershocks were possible in Fivox.
03:06The former President Rodrigo Duterte called it fake news
03:11that President Bombo Marcos signed the 2025 national budget
03:16that intentionally blanked some parts.
03:19Witness, Ivan Mayrina.
03:21Ivan Mayrina.
03:33In this special episode of the podcast, Basta na Bowenyo,
03:36former President Rodrigo Duterte
03:39was accused of copying the bicameral conference committee report of the 2025 national budget.
03:44This came from Davao Congressman Isidro Ungap,
03:47who was once the chairman of the House Appropriations Committee.
03:50Ungap first said that there are 13 pages in the bicameral report of the 2025 budget
03:54that have blanks in the amount of the alleged funds.
03:56This includes the funds of the NIA or National Irrigation Administration,
04:00and PCA or Philippine Coconut Authority,
04:03DFAR or Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources,
04:06as well as the funds for small scale irrigation projects,
04:09and agricultural machines, equipment and facilities.
04:13Most of the blanks are in the funds of the Department of Agriculture.
04:18There are also blanks in the unprogrammed appropriations.
04:21The bicameral report is the result of the violation of the different versions of the House and Senate
04:26of the national budget.
04:27The bicameral report of the House and Senate is being ratified,
04:30and it will be submitted to the President to be signed.
04:32If the General Appropriations Bill of Gab is signed,
04:35it will become the General Appropriations Act or GAA.
04:38The House and the Senate ratified a defective bicameral report.
04:45In other words, our GAA is affected.
04:48It's like a chicken issue.
04:50What do you mean?
04:52They are the ones who put it, the Secretary or the Director?
04:57What kind of stupidity is that?
05:00That is falsification of law.
05:03Perjury or whatever, criminal action.
05:09You can all go to jail for that.
05:12This is the answer of President Bongbong Marcos.
05:14He's lying.
05:17He's the President.
05:18He knows that you cannot pass a GAA without a blank.
05:24He's lying.
05:26And he's lying because he knows perfectly well that that doesn't ever happen.
05:32To Executive Secretary Lucas Bersamin,
05:34the statements of President Bongbong Marcos,
05:38the budget has blanks.
05:40These statements are malicious and criminal.
05:45There is no part of the 2025 National Budget that is not blamed
05:49before it was signed by the President.
05:51Anyone who looks at the 2025 National Budget
05:54can check on the website of the Department of Budget and Management.
05:58You will see that there is no blank project in the appropriations.
06:01Throughout the history of the Philippines,
06:05the Government does not allow an item of GAA
06:10that does not state what the project is and what the cost is, what the fund is.
06:20So, it's a lie.
06:23According to the DBM, under the Constitution,
06:26the general appropriations below GAAP and not the BICAM report
06:30are submitted to the President to be signed or vetoed.
06:33The bill submitted to the President is a complete document.
06:36There is no blank or missing details.
06:39According to the former Chief Presidential Legal Counsel,
06:42Atty. Salvador Panelo,
06:43the former President issued a legal opinion.
06:46Panelo said,
06:47if the statements of UNGAB are true,
06:49that GAAP was signed by those with disabilities,
06:51those with responsibilities may be imprisoned.
06:54UNGAB asked,
06:55if there is a blank item in the BICAM report
06:57based on the numbers in the General Appropriations Act,
07:01how was GAAP completed?
07:03Why did the members of BICAM sign its defective report?
07:07Why was it ratified by the Congress?
07:10And why was it signed by the President?
07:12It is possible that UNGAB joined the petitioners
07:15asking the Supreme Court
07:16to declare the 2025 budget invalid and unconstitutional.
07:21At present, lawyers are preparing to file a complaint about this.
07:25Malacanang said,
07:28they are confident in the law of GAAP,
07:30but they will not stop if there is a question about it
07:33in the Supreme Court.
07:34For GMA Integrated News,
07:36Ivan Meirina, your Saksi.
07:40Moving away from his position,
07:41on the side of Capone Zambales,
07:43is the so-called monster ship of the China Coast Guard.
07:46But it was replaced by another CCG ship
07:49in the radio challenge of the Philippine ship.
07:52Saksi, by JP Soriano.
07:55China Coast Guard Vessel 3304.
07:59This is Philippine Coast Guard Vessel BRP Gabriela Silang.
08:03This is a radio challenge of the Philippine Coast Guard
08:06to China Coast Guard Vessel 3304.
08:09You do not possess any legal authority
08:12to patrol inside the Philippines' exclusive economic zone.
08:16You are directed to depart immediately.
08:20Earlier this morning,
08:22the Chinese ship, 60 nautical miles from the coastline of Capone Zambales,
08:28was spotted by the Chinese Coast Guard.
08:31This is China Coast Guard Vessel 3304,
08:33patrolling in the sea area
08:35under the jurisdiction of the People's Republic of China.
08:39The so-called award for the South China Sea
08:43arbitration is illegal and invalid.
08:46China neither accepts nor recognizes it.
08:50CCG Vessel 3304 returned to the position
08:54of the so-called monster ship
08:56CCG Vessel 5901
08:59which has been patrolling for more than two weeks
09:01around the exclusive economic zone
09:04or EEZ of the Philippines.
09:06According to the PCG,
09:08until earlier this morning,
09:10the Chinese monster ship was monitored
09:13by the Chinese Coast Guard Vessel 3304
09:15which is patrolling around the coastal area of Capone Zambales
09:17and will go to the direction of Bajo de Masinlok or Scarborough Shore
09:22which is still a part of the EEZ of the Philippines.
09:25They are slowly moving.
09:28Sometimes they have a speed of 2 knots,
09:31sometimes 4 knots.
09:33So they are not just floating in one place.
09:37They are moving.
09:38That's obviously illegal.
09:40Again, they are not exercising freedom of navigation
09:44in our exclusive economic zone.
09:46Last Thursday,
09:48in the bilateral consultation mechanism
09:50or BCM of China and the Philippines,
09:52the Department of Foreign Affairs
09:54brought this issue to the officials of China.
09:58As far as the Coast Guard is concerned,
10:01this is the most effective thing we are doing now.
10:04We are not increasing tensions.
10:07We are not fighting.
10:09And we are continuing to defend the West Philippine Sea.
10:14This is being done by our exclusive economic zone
10:18in Zambales.
10:20It is ours and there is no reason for China to ignore it.
10:25This weekend,
10:27the first Maritime Cooperative Activity or MCA
10:30was held in the West Philippine Sea
10:34by the Armed Forces of the Philippines
10:36and United States Indo-Pacific Command
10:38this year.
10:40They plan to increase or elevate this activity.
10:44According to the AFP,
10:46they will add activities
10:48such as more advanced training scenarios.
10:51They will also expand participation
10:53by adding assets
10:56and the existence of other member states.
11:00China also announced
11:02that they made a multiple combat readiness patrol
11:06in the area of Bajo de Masinlo.
11:09In 2016,
11:11the UN Arbitral Tribunal
11:13trashed China's involvement
11:15in almost the entire West Philippine Sea,
11:17including Bajo de Masinlo,
11:19which is considered by the government of the Philippines
11:22as a part of the territory of the country
11:25and is part of the exclusive economic zone
11:27or EEZ of the Philippines.
11:30For GMA Integrated News,
11:32I am J.P. Soriano,
11:34your witness.
11:37President Bongbong Marcos
11:39vetoed the Senate Bill 1979
11:41or Prevention of Adolescent Pregnancy Act of 2023
11:44even though he did not amend
11:46a provision that he was entrusted with.
11:49However, Senator Arisa Ontiveros
11:51did not consider the provision
11:53addressed to the President.
11:55The witness is Ivan Mayrina.
11:58If this is to stop the multiplication of children,
12:01President Bongbong Marcos
12:03did not violate the comprehensive sexuality education or CSE
12:07that is part of the Senate Bill 1979
12:10or Prevention of Adolescent Pregnancy Act of 2023.
12:13It is very important
12:15that the youth know their body
12:17and it is explained
12:19the negative effects of breastfeeding
12:21and breastfeeding when they are still young.
12:23However,
12:25he read something in the Senate Bill
12:27that he did not like.
12:29I was shocked and I was appalled
12:32by some of the elements of that
12:38because this is all this woke
12:43that they are trying to bring into our system.
12:46You will teach four-year-olds
12:49how to masturbate
12:52that every child has the right
12:55to try different sexualities.
13:00This is ridiculous.
13:02It is abhorrent.
13:03It is a travesty
13:05of what sexual and sex education should be
13:09to the children.
13:10If this bill is passed in that form,
13:14I guarantee all parents,
13:17teachers and children
13:19that I will immediately veto it.
13:22We continue to clarify
13:24where the President read his provisions
13:27because based on the copy of the Senate Bill 1979,
13:30there are no such provisions.
13:32According to this document,
13:33Senator Riza Honteveros.
13:35Mr. President,
13:36with all due respect,
13:37it is clear that there is nothing in the bill
13:40even the word masturbation.
13:42There is also no try different sexualities.
13:46The S.E. contains the very same things you support.
13:49Teaching kids anatomy,
13:51the consequences of early pregnancy.
13:53That is what we are pushing for.
13:56The President's provisions,
13:58like the first provisions of the Senate Bill,
14:01like the former Supreme Court Chief Justice Lourdes Sereno
14:04and the Project Dalisay group.
14:06In Section 6 of the controversial Senate Bill,
14:09comprehensive sexuality is included
14:11in the school curriculum
14:13under the guidance of the DepEd
14:14and the international standards.
14:17Regarding Sereno,
14:18there are only two international standards
14:20in sexuality education,
14:21the WHO and UNESCO.
14:24There are two international documents
14:26and when you read those international documents,
14:30what are the basic principles?
14:32That sexuality education
14:35shall be given to children
14:38as early
14:40and as comprehensively as possible.
14:43What are the other principles?
14:47The children have the right to sex.
14:50And there, you will see in UNESCO,
14:54the children are being taught about negotiation
14:58and the decision when, how and with whom to have sex.
15:03The first thing that Tiveros suggested,
15:05what Sereno said,
15:07is the basis of the CSE
15:09in the ongoing discussion of the Responsible Parenthood
15:11and Reproductive Health Law.
15:13And there is no need to follow
15:15the rules of other countries.
15:17The President promised to veto the law
15:20if it is passed in this current version.
15:22Tugunion Tiveros.
15:24I am willing to accept amendments to refine the bill
15:28so we can steer it to passage.
15:30For GMA Integrated News,
15:32I am Ivan Meirina,
15:33your Saksay.
15:35Just a few hours after the Tiktok ban was implemented in America,
15:38its service is back.
15:40And if there is a ban in the Philippines,
15:43what will be the effect of this on our countrymen?
15:47Saksay, Mico Wahe.
15:55After the shutdown on January 19,
15:58other users are using the Tiktok app again.
16:01After the announcement of President-elect Donald Trump
16:04that he will give a 90-day reprieve to Tiktok.
16:07But what is the reason
16:09why the US passed a law
16:11to shut down the Tiktok application?
16:14First,
16:15the owner of Tiktok is a Chinese firm
16:17that may have an issue with data privacy.
16:21Because a social media platform like Tiktok
16:27has personal data.
16:30And China has a national security law
16:35where all companies,
16:37tech companies in particular,
16:40if their government needs the information
16:43held by these platforms,
16:46it is in the interest of their national security.
16:49And second,
16:50it is against the national security of America.
16:53Aside from being held by the Chinese government,
16:57the personal data of US citizens, US users,
17:01can also be used because of the popularity of Tiktok,
17:06that platform can be used to spread propaganda.
17:11If Tiktok was banned in the Philippines,
17:14it is likely that the content creator Sarah was affected.
17:17Half of her day is spent on Tiktok,
17:21especially if she earns from Tiktok.
17:24So if it is banned in the Philippines,
17:26it has a big effect on Sarah's income.
17:29It's big,
17:30maybe almost half.
17:32In my brand deals per month,
17:34sometimes it reaches 5 to 6 digits per month.
17:38So if it is banned,
17:40the 6 digits will become 5 digits only.
17:45Abby is an ER nurse.
17:47Tiktok is also the most commonly used online platform.
17:50I consume Tiktok,
17:51maybe in the morning,
17:53when I wake up and the work hasn't started yet.
17:56Aside from being a nurse,
17:57Abby is also a content creator
17:59and earns from brands that endorse online.
18:02If you endorse a brand,
18:04you can see more content on Tiktok
18:09compared to other social media.
18:13And if Tiktok is banned in the country?
18:16I think its biggest impact, of course,
18:20would be on those people who rely on Tiktok as a platform
18:26to provide them either their sole source of income
18:31or at least supplementary income.
18:33So that has the biggest impact.
18:38But is it possible for Tiktok to be banned in the Philippines
18:42that has 49.09 million users
18:45according to the data of Advertising Resources of ByteDance
18:48that is owned by Tiktok?
18:51As of January 2024,
18:53that's the data.
18:54We are the 8th with the most Tiktok users in the world.
18:59It's the same here.
19:00The personal data of Filipinos
19:02is processed by a Chinese-based company
19:04in the same way that
19:07if they want to use it
19:10to falsify opinions
19:12or influence the views of Americans
19:16using Tiktok.
19:18For now, we have a data privacy law that can be protected
19:22in case of a data privacy issue
19:24by social media companies like Tiktok.
19:26But...
19:27What's missing is the strong and effective enforcement of these laws.
19:32ByteDance said earlier
19:34that they have no connection to the Chinese government.
19:37For GMA Integrated News,
19:39Nikuhahe is your witness.
19:42Former Quezon City Mayor Herbert Bautista
19:44and former City Administrator Aldrin Puña
19:46were found guilty in the case of Graft
19:50because of a project in City Hall in 2019.
19:54But Bautista's lawyers said
19:56their client is innocent.
19:59Witness, Mark Salazar.
20:05Former Quezon City Mayor Herbert Bautista
20:08read the ruling earlier
20:10in Sandigan Bayan Special 7th Division.
20:13The court said,
20:15Bautista is guilty beyond reasonable doubt
20:18and his former City Administrator Aldrin Puña
20:21in the case of violation of the Anti-Graft Law
20:24under the project
20:25Online Occupational Permitting and Tracking System
20:28of Quezon City Hall in 2019.
20:31Bautista is the former artist
20:34and former mayor of Quezon City
20:36from 2010 to 2019.
20:38The P32.1 million project
20:41during Bautista's time
20:43was paid without an appropriation ordinance
20:46by the City of Quezon City
20:48and was paid in full
20:49even if the project is not yet complete.
20:51As punishment,
20:52Sandigan Bayan ordered
20:54Bautista and Puña to be jailed
20:56for at least 6 years and 1 month
20:59and not more than 10 years.
21:01They were also charged with
21:03perpetual disqualification
21:05to serve or serve in the government.
21:08GMA Integrated News tried
21:10to get Bautista and Puña
21:12for their statement
21:13while Sandigan Bayan was on air
21:15but they refused.
21:16In one statement,
21:17Bautista's lawyers insisted
21:20that they are saddened
21:21by the decision of Sandigan Bayan.
21:23Their client is said to be innocent
21:25and there was no violation.
21:27There was not a single cent
21:29that went to Bautista
21:30from the project.
21:31There was also no violation
21:33even by the Quezon City government
21:35because the city is so generous.
21:38They are now ready
21:40to appeal the decision.
21:41Meanwhile,
21:42under the professional liberty
21:45or remaining freedom,
21:46Bautista and Puña
21:48are appealing the decision.
21:50For GMA Integrated News,
21:53I am Mark Salazar,
21:55your witness.
21:58The news went viral
22:00that a security guard
22:01bumped into a Sampaguita vendor
22:03in front of a mall in Mandaluyong.
22:05He said that he bumped into PNP
22:07along with some officials
22:08of the security agency.
22:11The security guard admitted
22:13that he bumped into a woman.
22:15The security agency
22:16did not fire the security guard.
22:18He was told to be off-detail
22:20or not allowed to enter
22:21while they are conducting
22:23their own investigation.
22:25They will also add programs
22:27and training for their guards
22:28so that the incident
22:29will not happen again.
22:32Some residents in Atok, Benguet
22:34have almost recovered
22:35from being wrapped in ice or undap.
22:37Undap usually happens
22:38from January to February
22:39or during the rainy season.
22:42In Benguet,
22:43it was 12.9 degrees Celsius
22:44this morning.
22:45It is the lowest
22:46during the rainy season
22:47according to the forecast.
22:49But since the rainy season
22:50is still at its peak,
22:51it is possible that it will get colder
22:52in the coming days or weeks.
22:54The temperature is also low
22:56in Baguio City
22:57and other parts of Luzon.
22:59Aside from the cold weather,
23:00there is also heavy rain
23:01in Aminan,
23:02Easterlies, and Shireline.
23:03According to the data of Metro Weather,
23:05there is also rain
23:06in some parts of the country
23:07like some parts of Cagayan Valley,
23:08Corduliera, Southern Luzon,
23:10Visayas,
23:11and a large part of Mindanao.
23:17The answer to the cold weather
23:19is not just a jacket.
23:20In Pangasinan,
23:21there is a pot of soup
23:22that has been prepared by many.
23:24And that is the reason
23:25why it is called
23:26Gotong Baka in Rubio.
23:28The soup is not just hot
23:29but it is also hot
23:30because you can really taste
23:32the beef,
23:33which is its main ingredient.
23:35It has skin,
23:36intestines,
23:37and brain.
23:38It is mixed with
23:39simple spices
23:40that are added
23:41while the meat is being boiled.
23:43Aside from the soup,
23:44the gotong baka
23:45becomes more delicious
23:46when it is eaten
23:47with rice.
23:53Hot, hot, hot!
