NewsTranscript
00:00There's a fire in a school in Malabon last night. The Bureau of Fire Protection will investigate the electrical system of the house where the fire broke out.
00:26Live from Malabon, we have first news from James Agustin. James, is the classroom suspended already?
00:37Ivan, good morning. Yes, the face-to-face classes here in Tinajeros Elementary School in Malabon are suspended for now.
00:44But modular learning is being carried out by the students. This means that the students can study in their homes through modules.
00:54And they can do their assignments that will be given by their teachers.
00:58Ivan, the authorities are still investigating the fire that broke out in their classroom here in the school.
01:06Residents were shocked by the sudden fire in the area of Tinajeros Elementary School in Malabon around 11 p.m.
01:20The first alarm was raised. Three fire trucks of the Bureau of Fire Protection responded. Eight fire volunteer groups responded.
01:28It took almost 30 minutes for the fire to completely go out.
01:32I heard someone shouting and asking for help. When I went out, I called the people there to call for rescue.
01:41When I went there, I saw a big fire.
01:45Mark, the security guard of the school, was about to fall from the right side of the burned classroom.
01:51He was helped by a barangay resident who was seriously injured.
01:54We were shocked because the fire suddenly broke out. We tried to put out the fire, but it was too big.
02:04We couldn't do anything.
02:06I told them to turn off all the breakers. I will take care of the gate so that all the firemen can enter.
02:11According to the BFP, two classrooms, a storage room and a comfort room were burned, including the veterans' building.
02:19They also put out the fire.
02:21Our ASO is still under investigation so that we can be safe.
02:25It was difficult because when we arrived, one of the rooms was totally burned. But we were able to do it.
02:35According to the BFP, the electrical system of the house where the fire happened should be investigated first.
02:41Because of the incident, the face-to-face classes of the students today in Tinejeros Elementary School were canceled.
02:48Modular learning will be conducted first.
02:50We will close it first because we will check the electrical system to see what effect it has.
03:01Meanwhile, the BFP came back to Tinejeros Elementary School this morning for further investigation.
03:10Even though the school announced that the face-to-face classes will be suspended,
03:15we noticed that some students are still going to school this morning.
03:20That is the latest situation. I am James Agustin from Malabon for JEMA Integrated News.
03:25James, how many classrooms were burned and how will the management of the school be discarded?
03:32We are almost done.
03:38Yes, Ivan. According to the BFP, two classrooms were affected, including the storage room and the comfort room.
03:44We tried to get the management of the school on how to discard it.
03:50But they have nothing to do with us.
03:52But definitely, this morning, this school compound will not be used first.
04:01Because not only the electrical system needs to be checked by the authorities,
04:05but also the integrity of this building.
04:09Because until last night, when it was fired out,
04:13there were still parts of this building that were falling down.
04:18Thank you very much James Agustin.
04:22Meanwhile, President Bongbong Marcos is studying at the headquarters of the Metro Manila Development Authority,
04:27which is the source of income for those working in national government agencies,
04:31so they will not follow the rush hour.
04:34It's not enough to talk to the traffic enforcers and the administrators of traffic that have made the suggestion.
04:43We also have to ask the commuting public if it's practical for them.
04:49According to the Civil Service Commission, the operation of government agencies should also be regulated.
04:54IKCSC Commissioner Aileen Lizada has a memorandum that states that
04:58people should not be absent from government duties from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.
05:05Before you face the early entry, look at the options they are implementing,
05:11such as flexible working time and work from home setup.
05:17We understand where MMDA is coming from because they're looking at their lens, which is traffic.
05:26We look at it through the lens of the CSC.
05:30What is the effect of this on government employees?
05:35What about the private sector?
05:38While it is a good idea, our question now is what is the priority of the government, traffic or the transacting public?
05:46So we have to put our priorities in order. We have to study this thoroughly.
05:52President Bongbong Marcos called it a lie,
05:57said former President Rodrigo Duterte that there are whites in the 2025 national budget.
06:02According to the former Chief Presidential Legal Counsel, Attorney Salvador Panelo,
06:06Duterte just expressed his legal opinion. Here is my first news.
06:12These are my whites.
06:17I haven't even passed my lawyer's rank.
06:21In this special episode of Basta Da Bowenyo,
06:24former President Rodrigo Duterte said that there are whites in the 2025 national budget.
06:32This came from Davao Congressman Isidro Ungab, who was once the chairman of the House Appropriations Committee.
06:38According to Ungab, there are 13 pages in the BICAM report of the 2025 budget of whites in the amount of the alleged fund.
06:45Most of the whites are in the Department of Agriculture fund.
06:49There are also whites in the unprogrammed appropriations.
06:52The BICAM report is the result of the approval of the different versions of the House and Senate for the national budget.
06:58The BICAM report is ratified by the House and Senate and will be submitted to the President for signature.
07:03If the General Appropriations Bill of GAAM is signed, it will become the General Appropriations Act or GAA.
07:08So the House and the Senate ratified the BICAM report.
07:14In other words, our GAA is affected.
07:18It's like a chicken issue.
07:20What does it mean?
07:22Are they the ones to decide, the Secretary or the Director?
07:27What kind of nonsense is that?
07:30That is falsification of law.
07:33Perjury or whatever, criminal action.
07:38You can all go to jail for that.
07:42This is the answer of President Bong Marcos.
07:44He's lying.
07:46He's the President.
07:48He's lying.
07:50He's the President.
07:52He knows that you cannot pass a GAA with a blank.
07:57He's lying.
07:59He's lying because he knows perfectly well that that doesn't ever happen.
08:05To Executive Secretary Lucas Bersamin, the statements made by President Bongbong Marcos
08:13are malicious and criminal.
08:18There is no part of the 2025 National Budget that has not been reviewed before it was signed by the President.
08:24In the history of the Philippines,
08:29the Government does not allow an item of the GAA
08:34that does not state what the project is and what the cost is.
08:43So, it's a lie.
08:46According to the DBM, under the Constitution,
08:49the General Appropriations Bill or GAB and not the BICAM report
08:53are submitted to the President to be signed or vetoed.
08:57The bill submitted to the President is a complete document.
09:00There are no blanks or details.
09:02According to the former Chief Presidential Legal Counsel, Atty. Salvador Panelo,
09:06the former President issued a legal opinion.
09:09Panelo said, if the statements of UNGAB are true,
09:12that the GAA was signed by those who have weaknesses,
09:14those who have responsibilities may be jailed.
09:17UNGAB asked, if there is a blank item in the BICAM report
09:21based on the numbers in the General Appropriations Act,
09:24how was the GAA completed?
09:26Why did the members of BICAM sign its defective report?
09:30Why was it ratified by the Congress?
09:33And why was it signed by the President?
09:35It's possible that UNGAB joined the petitioners
09:38asking the Supreme Court to declare the 2025 budget invalid and unconstitutional.
09:44For now, the lawyers are preparing to file a complaint about this.
09:48Malacanang said earlier that they are confident in the GAA,
09:53but they cannot stop it from being commissioned to the Supreme Court.
09:57This is the first news.
09:59Ivan Meirina for GMA Integrated News.
10:04President Bongbong Marcos will immediately veto
10:07the Senate Bill 1979 or Prevention of Adolescent Pregnancy Act of 2023
10:12when it passes through the Senate in this version.
10:16I was shocked and I was appalled
10:20by some of the elements of that.
10:25You will teach four-year-olds how to masturbate,
10:30that every child has the right to try different sexualities.
10:37This is ridiculous.
10:40It is abhorrent.
10:42It is abhorrent.
10:44It is a travesty of what sexual and sex education should be to the children.
10:50President Marcos did not object to the passage of the Comprehensive Sexuality Educational CSE
10:57which is part of the bill,
10:58especially since it is important for the youth to know their body
11:01and to explain to them the negative effects of early pregnancy and breastfeeding.
11:06He said that he will just be in charge of some of its provisions.
11:10Senator Rizal Tiveros clarified that there is a right to pass a bill
11:14that does not include the provisions of the President.
11:17He said that the bill only includes the anatomy of the body of the youth
11:21and the consequences of early pregnancy.
11:24We will continue to clarify in Malacanang where in the Senate Bill 1979
11:28that the President read the provisions.
11:31Two tons of smuggled chicken meat was seen in a truck in Caloocan.
11:37The meat is dangerous because it did not pass the inspection of the authorities.
11:41First news live from Bam Alegre.
11:46Bam.
11:50Good morning.
11:51Smuggled meat was planned to be dropped in Caloocan,
11:54the contents of this truck behind us.
11:56But this was seen by the authorities and brought here to their headquarters in Pasay City.
12:02This refrigerated truck was confiscated after it was smuggled
12:06in the operation of the National Meat Inspection Service and National Bureau of Investigation.
12:12The chicken meat was seen in the operation without any relevant documents.
12:16When this refrigerated truck was opened, it was smuggled.
12:19Two tons of unregistered and smuggled food items were placed.
12:25In the visual inspection of the operatives, chicken breasts were placed in the freezer.
12:30The driver of the truck is now under the custody of the NMIS and NBI.
12:33He is no longer in front of the media.
12:35They have not yet provided additional information on when it happened.
12:39According to the authorities, they are currently carrying out a follow-up operation
12:43on more than 40 tons of smuggled meat that was intended to be distributed to the public.
12:48This is a great danger to the well-being of the people if it reaches the market, according to the NMIS.
12:53Of course, this is undocumented.
12:55This is undocumented.
12:57Usually, we don't know if it was properly handled.
13:03If it's documented, the papers came from the compliant accredited meat establishments.
13:12It was inspected, cleaned, and safe.
13:14If it's undocumented, it's usually hot meat.
13:18So we don't know what the process is, how it's handled.
13:26One more truck that you can see is just arriving this morning.
13:31It's also a part of the group that is under the custody of the authorities.
13:35This one has 2 tons of smuggled meat inside.
13:40It's this big.
13:41It's a refrigerated trailer that contains smuggled meat.
13:45This is the first news from Pasay.
13:47Bam Alegre for GMA Integrating News.
