00:00When it comes to farming, soil fertility or how fertile the soil is is very important.
00:17That's why a robot is being developed to detect if the soil is fertile or not, and a process to help it.
00:25For now, let's make a prototype.
00:28Come on, let's change the game.
00:34It's considered an agricultural country.
00:39But 82% of the farmland in the Philippines has low to moderate soil fertility.
00:47Aside from the cost, it's a double job for the farmers.
00:51And even if they put fertilizer, it's still not enough for the crop to grow.
00:58What if it can detect where the soil is fertile and how to restore its fertility?
01:08Pasok Toniko, a 3D-printed robot that can measure the potential hydrogen or pH soil content and NPK on the soil,
01:17or your nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium.
01:21The one who developed it is a grade 11 student from Batangas State University.
01:25We settled for one specific natural disaster, which is soil infertility.
01:30Toniko is a restorative plan, which is one of our objectives, to restore soil health.
01:38What we measure when it comes to soil infertility is NPK values and pH values.
01:46It uses sensors that, through the process of electrolysis, get the results from the soil.
01:51Toniko is a remote-controlled prototype.
01:57It has a Lego, which it uses to walk.
02:01And it uses an Arduino-based main software.
02:05The whole framework is 3D-printed.
02:08The prototype's pH and NPK sensors are important.
02:12They are placed on the soil.
02:14We have conducted pre-tests.
02:17And from our pre-tests, we have found that how the current sensors are calibrated,
02:22they align with the values that you can get from the normal soil.
02:26The data that these sensors detect will be inserted into the RS module.
02:31That is what the main software will interpret.
02:34And if the ideal ratio of the soil is not followed,
02:37the three LEDs inside will light up.
02:40Instead of inorganic and synthetic fertilizers,
02:43Toniko uses compost, like mulch, which is made up of organic materials.
02:49If the ideal ratio is not met, the mulch will deploy the prototype.
02:53The mulch is used to improve the fertility of the soil
02:57or to correct the imbalance in the soil.
03:04My fellow citizens,
03:05an invention to provide a solution to soil infertility.
03:08For GMA Integrated News, I am Martin Avier,
03:11Changing the Game!
03:17Due to a lack of income,
03:18some of our fellow citizens cannot afford to see a specialist
03:23who is working on the construction of a Bukol.
03:26Some of them have been working on Bukol for more than 10 years.
03:30The GMA Kapuso Foundation has already solved their problem
03:34under our Operation Bukol project.
03:42It is difficult for some of our fellow citizens to afford to see a specialist.
03:50For Adriana,
03:51her eyes and nose were affected.
03:56But she was never examined.
03:59My friend also had a nose in her face.
04:03But when she grew up, her face was covered.
04:06She died from it.
04:08For Cesar,
04:10he underwent surgery in 2019
04:13on his Bukol in Balicat.
04:15But it grew again,
04:17and it was difficult for him to see again.
04:20After one year, he came back.
04:23He said he couldn't afford it.
04:25He came back during the pandemic.
04:27My parents were also sick.
04:30He even died.
04:31For Cesar and Adriana,
04:33out of 52 patients with Bukol,
04:37there was one who was able to be examined
04:40with the help of the GMA Kapuso Foundation
04:42Operation Bukol Project,
04:45the Jose Reyes Memorial Medical Center.
04:48There were 11 of them.
04:50There was Bocio, or Goiter.
04:53I have been smiling for a long time.
04:55But when it comes to financial issues,
04:58of course, you have to eat first.
05:00I really went here because it was free.
05:04After reading the screening,
05:06they immediately underwent a laboratory test
05:09such as a complete blood count, ultrasound, and x-ray
05:14with the help of Singapore Diagnostics
05:17for their operation.
05:19If they are operable,
05:21we can do work-ups.
05:22We can go to the outpatient department
05:25of the Jose Reyes Memorial Medical Center
05:27where they have a schedule for a minor operation.
05:31Through our medical service,
05:34we wish you all the best.
05:37And for those who want to join our projects,
05:40you can deposit in our bank accounts
05:43or send it to Cebuano Louisiere.
05:46You can also do it online via JICA,
05:48Shopee, Lazada, and Globe Rewards.
05:55Good evening, Kapuso.
05:57I am your brother, Kim,
05:58who will give you trivia behind the trending news.
06:01The day of an OFW in Saudi Arabia is almost ruined
06:04because of the thought of his hooliganism.
06:07In the middle of the night,
06:09it looks like there are three days.
06:12This video was taken by our OFW in Saudi Arabia, Anthony.
06:16He has been looking for light for several days.
06:19Look at that, guys.
06:20Why is there something like that?
06:21And then, there's more.
06:23In the video, it looks like there are three days.
06:26It's like the sun is shining.
06:29In the middle, there's the brightest light.
06:31Why is it like that?
06:32It looks like there are three days.
06:34It's really different.
06:36So, in hopes of making his witness clear,
06:38he posted the video online and deleted the link.
06:41Brother Kim, what now?
06:43Brother Kim, what now?
06:45And this is the video taken by our countryman, Anthony, in Saudi Arabia.
06:49In the video, it looks like there are three days.
06:51But did you know that based on science,
06:53it's possible to see three days in one sky?
06:56This phenomenon is called parhelion or sundog.
06:59It happens when the light of the sun flickers or refracts
07:02because of the ice crystals around it.
07:04It's like a rainbow.
07:06It's suspended on you.
07:07It reflects in front of you.
07:09But the difference is that it's an ice crystal.
07:12But in a rainbow, there should be water droplets.
07:15Here, it's really an ice crystal.
07:17Sundogs usually show colorful circles or dots
07:21that can be found on the right and left of the sun.
07:23According to experts,
07:24when we see something like this in the sky,
07:26no one should be afraid of it.
07:29There's no such thing as a bad weather indicator.
07:31Its deflection is also based on the strength of the light
07:34and the different prisms that refract.
07:37There are many optical phenomena that can be seen in our sky
07:40that can be explained by science.
07:42Just like these long beams of light.
07:44Do you know what these are called?
07:47Vertical beams of light are called beams of light in our sky.
07:51Light pillars or ice pillars.
07:53This is an atmospheric optical phenomenon
07:55that results from the reflection of light
07:57in small ice crystals that are suspended in our atmosphere.
08:01When light comes from the sun,
08:03it's called a sun or solar pillar.
08:05But light pillars can also be the moon's moon
08:08or other terrestrial sources
08:10like streetlights or volcanic eruptions.
08:13Meanwhile, to find out the trivia behind the viral news,
08:15post it in the comment section.
08:17Hashtag Kuya Kim, what's next?
08:19Always remember, the important thing is to know.
08:21I am Kuya Kim and I will answer you 24 hours a day.
08:26The Philippine Coast Guard spotted a Chinese ship
08:30that was sailing near Zambales.
08:34National Security Advisor Eduardo Año confirmed
08:37that they are already talking about filing a new case against China.
08:43And Rafi Tima was there.
08:46From almost 60 kilometers in Zambales in the past few days,
08:52the Philippine Coast Guard's BRP Cabra
08:55was able to track down the Chinese ship.
08:58Aside from maneuvering to block the foreign ship,
09:01the BRP Cabra's radio challenge is being monitored from time to time.
09:04We will continue to do that.
09:06We will not allow them to change the norm.
09:12National Security Advisor Eduardo Año made the announcement
09:16during the launch of a comic book about the West Philippine Sea.
09:19The Stories of Teacher Jun was the title of the book.
09:21It is a project of the National Task Force West Philippine Sea
09:24and was led by the Philippine Coast Guard-West Philippine Sea Transparency Office.
09:28It's better for our countrymen to understand what the West Philippine Sea is.
09:35So that everyone can learn how to fight it.
09:39Año's partner, who is already talking to the National Maritime Council and NTF-WPS,
09:44filed a new case against China.
09:47They are now in the process of finding evidence.
09:50We would also like to help other like-minded states,
09:56their experts, their scientists, in investigating
10:01so that the case will be stronger if we continue the investigation.
10:06The case of the nine-dash-line claim of China was successful in 2013
10:11after the UN Arbitral Tribunal approved the position of the Philippines.
10:15But even though the Philippines won the case,
10:17China's intervention was even less.
10:20This morning, based on the monitoring of the maritime security expert, Ray Powell,
10:24two and a half hours were spent by four Chinese military ships,
10:28the two ships of the Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources of BIFAR,
10:31patrolling the case.
10:34For GMA Integrated News, Rafi Timan, 24 Hours.
10:39President Bongbong Marcos is not blocking the impeachment of Vice President Sara Duterte.
10:47This is according to Executive Secretary Lucas Bersamin
10:50in the statement of Makabayan Block,
10:52that the President is deliberately blocking the impeachment.
10:56Added by Bersamin, there is nothing in the President's hands,
11:00but the decision is in the House of Representatives to impeach Duterte
11:04in accordance with the Constitution.
11:07It's a pity that the President's opinions were ignored and not dictated to the Congress,
11:13especially since this is a co-equal branch of the Executive.
11:16Meanwhile, some church groups and organizations held a forum today
11:21as a support for the upcoming rallies of various sectors
11:26on January 31 in Liwasang, Bonifacio.
11:29They are calling for the impeachment of Vice President Duterte.
11:36The election of Vice President Duterte and the fight against fake news
11:41was given in the GMA Masterclass Election 2025 Dapatutuo Series in Mindanao.
11:48Arjun Relator of GMA Regional TV was there.
11:53The fight against fake news and how it can be quickly resolved
12:00is one of the values given by the speakers of the GMA Masterclass Election 2025 Dapatutuo Series.
12:10One of the speakers of the Holy Cross of Davao College in Davao City,
12:16GMA Integrated News Producer Tina Panganiban-Perez,
12:20is one of the candidates that should be voted.
12:26The election of 2025 is a big factor in the election of 2028.
12:32So let's remember, what is guaranteed in every election is our life, our future.
12:41So what we should choose is the right one.
12:47Students of Notre Dame of the Giangas University were also reminded
12:52in the Brother James McKnight Auditorium in General Santos City
12:56to be aware of the information online.
13:01Students there also expressed their support
13:05for the organization Responsible Voting through the signing of the Constitution.
13:11It is about time for our young people to be informed, to be engaged, to participate in nation building.
13:19We are presented with a unique opportunity to deepen our understanding of the electoral process
13:26guided by expert insights on truthful and responsible voting.
13:32According to Senior Vice President and Head for GMA Integrated News, Regional TV, and Synergy,
13:39Oliver Victor B. Amoroso,
13:41GMA was able to ensure that every Filipino, especially the youth,
13:48is aware of the fight against misinformation and disinformation,
13:53especially now that the midterm elections are approaching.
13:57The GMA Master Class Election 2025 Dapat Totoo series aims to remind us
14:03of our right to choose our leaders, the necessity of remaining vigilant,
14:08and the importance of being discerning in our choices.
14:12For GMA Integrated News, Arijil Relator of GMA Regional TV, 24 Hours.
14:22It is very emotional to see GMA Integrated News,
14:26the loved ones of their lives, who were arrested for spying.
14:31They did not leave their jobs in the country of their loved ones,
14:35who are now being tortured by the police in prison.
14:39J.P. Soriano, exclusive.
14:45From Fujian Province, the mother, Arijil Relator,
14:49of GMA Integrated News, and the sister of the Chinese national, Deng Yuangyin,
14:54were arrested by the authorities in the Philippines
14:57for spying, but her brother refused.
15:03My brother has always been an honest and kind person,
15:07and he can never be a spy.
15:09Deng's family and friends learned from the Chinese Embassy in the Philippines
15:15They were asked not to show their names or faces.
15:18They can't speak English, so we used an interpreter in some points.
15:23Deng's job involves testing the speed of the car using a computer.
15:29This company, they said, they need to do a car testing job in the Philippines,
15:34and they want, we help them to do a 30-kilometer-like testing in the Philippines.
15:42The main job of Deng is helping them to arrange the route.
15:47According to the Department of Justice and the Armed Forces of the Philippines,
15:51Deng and his fellow Filipinos acquired some equipment,
15:56such as a rover and mapping devices,
15:58which are often used in espionage activities or spying.
16:03According to friends, Deng's employer would be able to help clarify his job,
16:10but it is not yet in agreement with the NBI and AFP,
16:14the ATTC Automobile Technology Service, which is based in China.
16:19They keep saying they will provide, but until now they didn't,
16:22and we are desperate, we need someone to help.
16:30Deng's family admitted that it is often in the Philippines,
16:33because Deng's husband was a Filipino in 2014,
16:37and they have a small business in Zamboanga.
16:41Because my sister-in-law is a Filipino,
16:45so my brother has been a long time between China and the Philippines.
16:59My brother and his wife, they are running a pharmacy in Zamboanga.
17:04So my brother does his own business there,
17:09and the business is formal and legal.
17:19When he is injured, the police is torturing my friend.
17:24I hope you can talk to the related department.
17:32Don't do like that.
17:35Because we are still from the Philippines, and we can't help my brother.
17:42My parents, their body is not very good, and Chinese New Year is coming.
17:50We can't help my brother.
17:57Deng is now detained in the NBI.
18:00We are still waiting for the reaction of the NBI and AFP
18:03on what Deng's family said,
18:05as well as the Chinese company where he works.
18:09For GMA Integrated News, J.P. Soriano, 24 Hours.
18:20It is possible that the weather will get colder in some parts of the country this weekend
18:24because there is a change in the weather forecast according to the forecast.
18:28Aside from the expected strength of the weather forecast,
18:31there are also places that will experience bad weather because of the Easter list.
18:36And because of the cold weather forecast and the hot Easter list,
18:42it is possible that the effect of the shear line will return.
18:45According to the data of Metro Weather,
18:47there is still a chance of rain in Apayaw, Cagayan Valley, and Palawan tomorrow.
18:52The rain in Visayas is scattered.
18:55For the people of Mindanao, be alert because it is possible that there will be a wide and heavy rainfall.
19:02This time of the week will continue.
19:06Be ready for the flood or landslide.
19:09And here in Metro Manila, the chance of rain is still low this weekend.
19:14But if there is a chance of rain, bring an umbrella.
19:17For those who are eager for the Iloilo City Festival 2025,
19:23the half of the time tomorrow is clear,
19:26except for the chance of localized thunderstorms in the afternoon or at night.
19:31On Sundays and Mondays, if it rains, it may be temporary.
19:35The temperature in the next three days is between 25 to 31 degrees Celsius.
19:44After the next three raises,
19:47there is a rollback in the price of oil products.
19:52Up to 55 cents per liter may be reduced in the price of diesel next week.
19:58Up to one peso may be rolled back for every liter of gasoline.
20:03Up to 50 cents per liter is expected to be reduced in kerosene.
20:08This is based on the four-day trading and monitoring of the Oil Industry Management Bureau of the Energy Department.
20:17Among the visible reasons,
20:19the reopening of refineries and plantations in the U.S. Gulf Coast,
20:24and the possible effect of U.S. President Donald Trump's plans on the global economy and demand for energy.
20:39Just like their reconciliation with Sofia Pablo,
20:42Will Ashley hopes that Sofia and Jillian Ward, who are both part of the Prima Donnas, will also agree.
20:49Let's talk to Lars Santiago.
20:53Will and I also didn't talk for four years.
20:56In the GMA Integrated News interview with Sofia Pablo,
21:01she admitted that they had a misunderstanding of the Sparkle star Will Ashley,
21:07who is part of the Prima Donnas.
21:10Sofia mentioned this when talking about the misunderstanding of her Prima Donnas star partner, Jillian Ward.
21:20It's a feud that has been going on for a long time.
21:23And I think one of the reasons why we didn't fix it is because we never got to talk about it.
21:28Sofia said that Will and Jillian have already fixed their relationship with the Princess of City Jail.
21:35Yes, because before we started taping, we talked.
21:39That's my point.
21:41I think it will come with Jillian.
21:44When the time is right, when people start asking,
21:47why didn't you talk?
21:49Because that's what happened with Will.
21:50We were okay because we both wanted to be okay.
21:54Will confirmed that all is well with them and Sofia.
21:59It's like we were pulled into a corner after how many years?
22:05It's true because we also had a misunderstanding.
22:10We didn't have a chance to talk for that long because we were both busy.
22:18Will is full of hope that just like Sofia, he will be able to talk to Sofia and Jill again.
22:26Whatever their problem is, I can't fix it.
22:33It's for them to fix it.
22:35Jillian said before that she doesn't have time for negativity.
22:40And she will just focus on more important things in life, like family.
22:47LAR Santiago updated on the showbiz happening.
22:55And that ends our week-long chit-chat.
22:57I'm Ia Adeliano.
22:58Happy weekend, Kapuso, Ms. Mel, Ms. Vicky.
23:02Thank you, Ia.
23:03Thank you, Ia.
23:04Wait, before we finish.
23:06We're wishing you a happy day.
23:11The one and only Kuya of the City brought to you by Kaalaman.
23:15Happy birthday, Kuya Kim.
23:18And that's the news for this Friday.
23:21I'm Mel Tiangco.
23:22And I'm Vicky Morales for a bigger mission and for a wider service to the city.
23:28From GMA Integrated News, the news authority of the Philippines.
23:32We learned 24 hours.
23:40I'm Mel Tiangco.
