00:00Magandang tanghali po, oras na para sa maiinit na balita.

00:28It's all about the extraordinary increase in the price of rice and not because of the lack of supply that's why the Food Security Emergency declared on rice.

00:36That's what the Department of Agriculture clarified this morning, following the declaration yesterday of the Food Security Emergency.

00:43Under the BISA of the Department Circular No. 3, Series of 2025, the DA is asking the National Food Authority to release its buffer stock of rice.

00:54It will be sold to local governments and government agencies.

00:58150,000 metric tons of rice was released by the NFA within 6 months, but it could still be changed depending on the duration of the implementation of the Food Security Emergency.

01:12At the press conference earlier by the DA, it was said that the NFA will sell the buffer stock to LGUs for P33 per kilo, while it is expected to sell to the public for P35 per kilo.

01:25The NFA is still waiting for the answer of the LGUs who want to get rice.

01:30It still depends on how much will be the monthly allocation in each place.

01:35A rider was shot dead after a 16-wheeler in Antipolo, Rizal, collided and rolled over.

01:45EJ Gomez brought you the latest news.

01:47Blood was spilled here on Circumferential Road, Barangay San Roque in Antipolo City where a 16-year-old man was injured last night at 10 p.m.

02:01The victim was shot dead after a 16-wheeler rolled over.

02:05According to witnesses, the motorcycle was able to continue running.

02:09The motorcycle was also hit by a car on the road.

02:12It was a bit fast.

02:14When it passed, it started to wiggle on the road.

02:18Until it was assembled.

02:20The motorcycle was separated and its body went to the other lane.

02:25Then the truck suddenly passed behind the wheel.

02:30The victim was wearing a helmet.

02:32But due to the impact, the victim was shot dead on the spot.

02:36According to witnesses, the truck ran a few more meters before it stopped and the driver was told about the accident.

02:43According to the driver, he did not notice that under the truck he was driving was the motorcycle that collided.

02:51I tried to avoid it, ma'am.

02:53I know that I didn't hit it.

02:55That's when it hit.

02:57I tried to avoid it.

02:59It rolled over.

03:01It went to the back of the trailer bed.

03:10That's why it was in the grass.

03:12The truck that was loaded with more than 30 tons of corn was from Pasig.

03:16It was supposed to be delivered to Teresa Rizal.

03:18According to the police investigation,

03:20there was no license on the truck.

03:22The truck was a resident of Barangay Santa Ana in Taytay.

03:25The victim was supposed to go home after having dinner with some friends, according to his relative.

03:31It hurts sometimes.

03:33If the jury doesn't recognize him,

03:35we will call his relatives.

03:37They will answer for what happened.

03:39I asked for a dispensary.

03:41I didn't do it on purpose.

03:43Just like me, I also have a son who is in the hospital.

03:45I asked for a dispensary.

05:47He was rushed to a pharmacy in Fugoso Street this Sunday when the carnapping took place.

05:52Our victim left his key in his motorcycle.

05:57When he was about to enter, he immediately remembered that he lost his key.

06:02When he was about to return to his motorcycle, the suspect, who ran away quickly, was already in the vehicle.

06:08The victim was screamed by the police.

06:11The Alvarez PCP was just about to launch an anti-criminality campaign.

06:16The motorcycle was quickly recovered from the suspect, who was still running away.

06:21The chase lasted for 5 minutes until he was cornered by the authorities and several residents in Piguevarra Street.

06:28The suspect was given a .38 caliber revolver without documents and loaded with bullets.

06:35Based on the investigation of the police, the suspect was previously imprisoned because in some cases, illegal drugs were already included.

06:43He may also have been involved in gun-for-hire service or gun-running activities.

06:48It is possible that they are doing this to get money first or to get such opportunities.

06:58Then they will use the motorcycle for other crimes.

07:03The suspect is now in the custody of the Santa Cruz Police Station.

07:07Faced with the complaint of violation of the Comprehensive Law on Firearms and Ammunition,

07:11violation of the Omnibus Selection Code or Gun Ban and Car Napping,

07:15he refused to give a statement.

07:18I will comment on that, sir. I will just explain it to the court, sir.

07:23Jomer Apresto reporting for GMA Integrated News.

07:28Some parts of the country continue to be exposed to cold due to the cold winds.

07:37According to the forecast, Northern and Central Luzon are now affected.

07:41Easterlies are spreading in other parts of the country.

07:44The minimum temperature in Baguio City is recorded at 16 degrees Celsius,

07:4817.4 degrees Celsius in La Trinidad, Benguet and 24.4 degrees Celsius here in Quezon City.

07:55Because of the cold winds, it is dangerous for small sea vehicles to cross the Ilocos Provinces.

08:03Batanes and Cagayan, along with Babuyan Islands.

08:07A large part of the country can expect good weather,

08:11except for some parts of Northern, Central and Southern Luzon,

08:15where it is possible to experience light to moderate rain in the next few hours.

08:20Some parts of Visayas and Mindanao will also be exposed to rain due to the rainfall forecast of Metro Weather.

08:46the price of a kilo of pork meat is already at P377

08:50from P356 on the first week of January.

08:54The price of pork meat increased by more than P35 this January.

08:59The agency will now study why the price of pork is still high,

09:03even though the farm gate price is low.

09:06It is possible that there is another reason.

09:10According to the Association of Industries of Agriculture or SINAG,

09:13the maximum suggested retail price of pork should also be placed in Metro Manila.

09:18In the latest daily monitoring of the DA,

11:07In Quezon City,

11:08a motorcycle collided with an oil tanker.

11:12The woman was killed while the rider was injured.

11:16However, the driver of the tanker was able to run fast.

11:20This was reported by James Agustin.

11:22The 22-year-old woman who was hit by a motorcycle

11:27was no longer alive when her relatives arrived at Elliptical Road, Quezon City.

11:32The motorcycle that collided with the oil tanker

11:35collided with the motorcycle rider,

11:38who was injured.

11:40He was holding his girlfriend's pair of slippers.

11:43It hurts so much.

11:47It hurts so much.

11:50It hurts so much.

11:52According to the rider, they came from Valenzuela

11:54and the accident happened in the Quezon Memorial Circle.

11:58We were already in front of the circle,

12:00but we turned around.

12:02The truck behind us did not slow down.

12:06I saw that it was far away, so I turned on the signal light.

12:09The oil tanker that would deliver diesel to Taytay Rizal came from Valenzuela.

12:14It suddenly flew away.

12:16I pushed it as far as I could.

12:18It still did not respond.

12:20I tried to avoid it.

12:21I hit the gutter.

12:22I tried to avoid it.

12:23The mother and children of the victim were very peaceful.

12:29The victim's wife was in front of the oil tanker's driver.

12:32I hope he won't be able to get out.

12:34He has to pay for it.

12:35The oil tanker's driver is in the custody of the QCPD Traffic Sector 3

12:39facing reckless imprudence, resulting in homicide,

12:42damage to property, and physical injury.

12:45James Agustin reporting for GMA Integrated News.

12:50We will now receive an update regarding the declaration by the Department of Agriculture

12:54of the Food Security Emergency for rice.

12:56Details on this will be brought to you by Bernadette Reyes.

12:59Bernadette.

13:04Connie, in the next few days or weeks,

13:07rice will be able to reach the families

13:11that will be released by the National Food Authority.

13:13Now, the Department of Agriculture has declared

13:16the Food Security Emergency for rice.

13:21Rice will be sold to LGUs, GOCs, and government agencies

13:25for P33 per kilo.

13:28It will be sold for P35 per kilo to consumers

13:32from the initial target of P38 per kilo.

13:38The NFA is still waiting for the answer from LGUs

13:40that want to purchase rice.

13:42Based on the price, it will mean that the NFA has losses of P12 to P15 per kilo.

13:48But it will give way for the NFA to buy rice

13:52from farmers starting the harvest season.

13:56150,000 metric tons of rice

13:59will be released by the NFA within six months.

14:03But it is still possible to change

14:04depending on the duration of the implementation of the Food Security Emergency.

14:09According to the DA, the price will be monitored

14:11and if the price will be lowered to the families,

14:15the NFA will study whether to lift or withdraw the declaration.

14:19But according to the Federation of Free Farmers,

14:21Cooperative, or FFF,

14:23to the farmers in the country,

14:25this has a negative effect on the farmers

14:27because they may lose money.

14:29If it is sold for P35 per kilo in the market,

14:32it is equivalent to P17 to P18 per kilo of rice.

14:36The NFA also has a big loss

14:38because it bought expensive rice

14:40but it will sell it at a low price.

14:42Connie, starting tomorrow,

14:44the maximum suggested legal price

14:47for 5% broken imported rice

14:50will be lowered to P55 per kilo.

14:52Meanwhile, by February 15,

14:55the implementation of the maximum suggested legal price

14:57will be done nationwide.

15:00Thank you very much, Bernadette Reyes.

18:15Among them were the alleged

18:17criminal suspects,

18:19Gina Garma and the former

18:21NAPOLCOM Commissioner

18:23Edilberto Leonardo.

18:25They have denied the charges.

18:27Salima Refran reported.

18:31I told

18:33Sir Leonardo

18:35that because a government official

18:37is the target,

18:39it's important for me to do my own verification.

18:41But he said

18:43that I don't need to

18:45because the order came from

18:47GM Garma,

18:51former Colonel Ruyena Garma.

18:53Following these revelations

18:55in the House Quad Committee,

18:57the investigation will continue.

18:59We're not letting go of the cold cases.

19:01We want to, if there are people

19:35NAPOLCOM Commissioner Edilberto Leonardo.

19:37There are five other allegations

19:39in the complaint.

19:41Garma and Leonardo

19:43were the first to deny the murder

19:45of Police Lieutenant Colonel Santi Mendoza.

19:47Garma and Leonardo

19:49were the first to deny this in the Quad Committee.

19:51I was just surprised, Mr. Chair.

19:53I didn't expect it.

19:55So this is the first time you heard

19:57that you are being implicated in the death

19:59of General Barayuga?

20:01Yes, Mr. Chair.

20:03You were never also investigated

20:05by any law enforcement agency

20:07as far as the death of General Barayuga is concerned?

20:09No, Mr. Chair.

20:11Any other questions?

20:13I don't remember.

20:15I have a question.

20:17It's not true.

20:19I know that he's an underclassman.

20:21But aside from that,

20:23I don't know him anymore.

20:25So no working relations with Colonel Mendoza?

20:27None.

20:29You weren't a person before in your units?

20:31I wasn't.

20:33Mendoza's contact was also included

20:35in the complaint to get the hitman

20:37Nelson Mariano.

20:39He was also a member of the Alias Talks

20:41who is also a police officer.

20:43Alias Talks was introduced

20:45by Police Senior Master Sergeant Jeremy Causapin.

20:47Another Alias Loloy

20:49and another John Doe were also complained.

20:51Because of their cooperation in the investigation,

20:53it was recommended to make

20:55state witnesses

20:57Mendoza and Mariano.

20:59The complaints will be under the evaluation

21:01of the National Prosecution Service

21:51Ken Chu, who met Ximen.

21:53Rainie Yang will miss

21:55Barbie, her best friend

21:57in the series, Xiaoyu.

21:59Many Filipino fans

22:01were also impressed by Barbie.

22:03Sunshine's childhood memories

22:05include her family

22:07in the series and F4.

22:09Barbie was born at the age of 48.

22:11According to the actress' brother,

22:13her family is on vacation in Japan

22:15when Barbie got the flu

22:17and went home with pneumonia.

22:19The actress got her Mr.

22:21DJ Koo and Barbie's two children

22:23from her ex-husband.

22:29For the high school students

22:31who want to study in Singapore,

22:33their government has a scholarship.

22:35This is the ASEAN Scholarship

22:37for 4 years of study

22:39for those in Grade 9 and above.

22:41This is an opportunity

22:43to have a world-class education

22:45and many opportunities in other countries

22:47for Filipino students.

22:49Aside from tuition,

22:51the Singaporean government will also provide

22:53allowance, accommodation,

22:55school and exam fees,

22:57airfare or airplane fare,

22:59medical benefits,

23:01and insurance to future scholars.

23:03In 2024,

23:0517 Filipino students received

23:07the ASEAN Scholarship.

23:11Because he was late

23:13and fought during work hours,

23:15a security guard shot

23:17his colleague at work

23:19in Antipolo City.

23:21The suspect apologized

23:23and said that his family

23:25was threatened by the victim.

23:27Here's EJ Gomez.

23:57He was a 24-year-old victim

23:59who was hit by bullets

24:01in his left and right arm.

24:03The security guard who was shot

24:05responded to the police

24:07and the victim's body was identified.

24:09The 9mm caliber gun was recovered

24:11from the suspect.

24:13He was shot four times.

24:15He was shot four times

24:17and his body was recovered.

24:19According to the suspect's statement

24:21to the police,

24:23he fought during duty hours

24:25and was shot in the arm.

24:27According to him,

24:29that's what they usually do.

24:31Instead of their turnover

24:33at 7 p.m.,

24:35they always exceed 7.30 p.m. or more.

24:37I was late.

24:39Sometimes, I was on straight duty

24:41and he didn't let me in.

24:43I got angry at the same time.

24:45The 35-year-old suspect

24:47received threats

24:49from the victim

24:51because of their work schedule.

24:53He threatened my family

24:55many times.

24:57That's why

24:59I did it.

25:01What did he tell you?

25:03He said he will kill me.

25:05Who?

25:07My family.

25:09The victim's relative

25:11was surprised by the suspect's behavior.

25:13As far as I know,

25:15he was on duty.

25:17Sometimes, his wife

25:19would bring him food

25:21but he was always on straight duty

25:23because his relative

25:25wouldn't let him in.

25:27The suspect

25:29was there.

25:31If you're angry

25:33at my husband,

25:35you've done a lot to him.

25:37Even if you say he's late,

25:39you can talk to him

25:41or you can report him

25:43to the agency.

25:45You can complain about him.

25:47Why did he

25:49do that?

25:51Three shots.

25:53What is that?

25:55What kind of justice is that?

25:57The suspect is apologizing to the victim's family.

25:59I hope you can forgive me

26:01because my family

26:03also does this.

26:05I love my family very much.

26:07I do this for my job.

26:09At the custodial facility

26:11of Antipolo Component City Police Station,

26:13the suspect is in jail

26:15for the homicide case.

26:17EJ Gomez,

26:19breaking news for GMA

26:21Integrated News.

26:23Welcome to the declaration

26:25of food security emergency

26:27of the Department of Agriculture.

26:29We'll talk to the Federation of Free Farmers

26:31National Manager, Raul Montemayor.

26:33Good morning to you

26:35and welcome to Balitang Hali.

26:37Yes, good afternoon.

26:39It's already afternoon.

26:41Good morning to you, sir.

26:43Is it right to declare

26:45a food security emergency on rice?

26:47There's no problem with the supply

26:49but the price is too high.

26:53The intention is good

26:55and we support the

26:57intention of declaring a food emergency.

26:59But their basis

27:01for declaring that emergency,

27:03we have a little

27:05confusion

27:07because

27:09in their explanation,

27:11the price increase happened

27:13in 2023.

27:15Why are they

27:17declaring the emergency

27:19now?

27:21It's been a long time since the fire

27:23but they just declared it now.

27:25What can you see as

27:27the reason why

27:29the increase happened

27:31in 2023

27:33and they just declared it now?

27:35It's right that

27:37rice is still expensive.

27:39Their plan is

27:41to release

27:43the NFA stocks.

27:45They can do that if there's

27:47an emergency declaration, by the way.

27:49That's their legal basis.

27:51If they sell it

27:53at a low price, I understand

27:55it's already P35.

27:57They can lower

27:59the price.

28:01They can lower the price

28:03of private traders.

28:05But

28:07P35 is too low

28:09that

28:11private sector

28:13cannot buy it.

28:15Okay. Does that affect

28:17our local farmers?

28:19That's our

28:21problem because

28:23at P35 per kilo

28:25of retain,

28:27it's equivalent to P17

28:29per kilo of rice.

28:31At that price,

28:33half of the farmers might lose.

28:35Okay.

28:37I think their income is already low.

28:39But if

28:41it's not a declaration

28:43of food security

28:45for rice, what is the

28:47right step to

28:49raise the price of rice?

28:51One step

28:53that they are not doing

28:55is to increase the price of

28:57private traders.

28:59It's very clear that

29:01last year,

29:03from 35% to 15%,

29:05the importers

29:07saved P6 to P7

29:09in paying tariffs.

29:11The price of rice

29:13also went down. In addition to that,

29:15the international price

29:17went down.

29:19There's no reason why it didn't go down

29:21except if the traders

29:23increased their income.

29:25Earlier, I talked to

29:27Secretary Tew Laurel and he

29:29mentioned that he doesn't believe

29:31that there's a big cartel in rice

29:33as opposed to

29:35the immediate income

29:37of the traders

29:39or the traders themselves.

29:41What is your comment on that?

29:43You're right. We're not talking about cartel.

29:45We're talking about

29:47profiteering.

29:49The importers

29:51imported the rice at a low price.

29:53Yes.

29:55They didn't increase

29:57the tariff.

29:59They still sold it to wholesalers.

30:01The wholesalers still sold

30:03the rice to retailers.

30:05Retailers still sold

30:07the rice to consumers.

30:09The P1

30:11that was saved in the tariff

30:13didn't reach the end.

30:15Okay. Thank you very much

30:17for your time, sir.

30:19We will keep an eye on this.

30:21Good luck.
