00:00The Land Transportation Office is investigating the convoy of the ride-hailing app, Angkas,
00:05which is located between Trapico and Intarizat.
00:08According to the LTO, they want to know if they have a permit from the LGU
00:12and why the riders stopped Trapico from passing through their convoy.
00:17The public apology was first issued by the leader of Angkas
00:22and their riders admitted their mistake.
00:26According to the CEO of Angkas in GMA News Online,
00:29he is ready to accept any punishment and he is ready to help the authorities.
00:35The LGU also ordered the riders to join the community service.
00:44The Anti-Bullying Act has been in force for more than a decade,
00:48but many young people are still being bullied in our country.
00:51In one study, the lack of school staff is one of the problems.
00:57Witness, Mackie Pulido.
01:03In an internet shop in Barangay Lagau, General Santos City,
01:07you can see five bullets falling on the computer.
01:09One stood up and stabbed the man behind him.
01:13The victim quickly stood up while another was stabbed.
01:18In a police investigation, the man was arrested and stabbed.
01:22The suspect was bullied by the victim.
01:25He returned to the internet cafe.
01:28When the suspect saw the knife, he stabbed the victim.
01:35The Anti-Bullying Act has been in force for more than a decade,
01:39but many young people are still being bullied, not only physically and verbally.
01:45In the study of the Program for International Student Assessment or PISA,
01:49one in every three students experiences a bullying incident once a week.
01:55Based on the data, from grade 5 to grade 10,
01:58the prevalence of bullying is the worst in the Philippines.
02:01But why is it still a problem in spite of the laws and the police?
02:05The lack of school staff is the main problem
02:08of the Second Congressional Commission on Education or EDCOM 2.
02:12The Anti-Bullying Committee of the school head or principal should be in charge,
02:16but in many schools, there is no principal.
02:19The guidance counselor should be of help, but there is no guidance counselor.
02:22It's worse in schools that are severely congested.
02:26It means that there are not enough adults there to assist,
02:30to help the students and resolve the conflict.
02:33The number of cases that are not yet resolved is already high.
02:37According to EDCOM 2 report,
02:39only 7% of the reported cases were resolved from November 2022 to July 2024.
02:45According to the Department of Education,
02:47one of the reasons is the lack of trained personnel.
02:50Now we have a new position called school counselor
02:54that will allow hopefully more interested parties to join the deputies.
03:00And there are still additional items.
03:03To reduce the red tape in resolving cases,
03:05police officers will check if it should be resolved at the school level.
03:09While they are working on it,
03:11you can contact the TeleSafe hotline,
03:14hashtag 33733.
03:17It is considered confidential.
03:20It's considered private.
03:22It's considered safe.
03:24This is what Edgar Velda, a child development expert, should remember.
03:28It will not stop and bullying will continue
03:31if the victim remains silent.
03:32That's why you should contact.
03:34Damaging to your sense of self-worth,
03:36damaging to your sense of dignity as a person,
03:39that can be considered as bullying.
03:41So it doesn't have to be physical.
03:43Those who are old enough to complain,
03:46do not allow bullying or their parents.
03:48Go through the right process and most importantly,
03:51listen to the child first,
03:53especially that it is not easy for a bullying victim to talk about this.
03:57For GMA Integrated News, I am Mackie Pulido, your witness.
04:03Four people were killed in a plane crash in Patuan, Maguindanao.
04:07In Patuan, Maguindanao del Sur.
04:10According to a police officer,
04:12they noticed that the plane was smoking while in the air
04:15until it finally exploded.
04:18There were also casualties in the plane crash.
04:21According to the U.S. Embassy in the Philippines,
04:23American military-contracted aircraft were the victims.
04:28The investigation continues.
04:32The increase of the amount of onions
04:34was allowed by the Agriculture Department.
04:36According to Agriculture Secretary Francisco T. Laurel,
04:393,000 metric tons of red onions and 1,000 metric tons of white onions
04:44are expected to arrive in the country in the next two weeks.
04:48According to the importation,
04:50the buffer stock is sufficient
04:52and gaps in the supply of onions can be reached
04:55while waiting for the right time.
04:57The DA is avoiding increasing the price of onions
05:01if the supply is insufficient.
05:03More than 60 products increased their prices
05:07based on the new Suggested Retail Price Guide
05:09issued by the Department of Trade and Industry
05:12including sardines, canned meat, evaporada, coffee, bottled water,
05:17Pinoy Tasty, and Pinoy Pandesal.
05:19The price increase of 2 to 7 percent is still effective since February 1.
05:24According to DTI, the price increase was allowed
05:27because manufacturers have been asking for it for more than two years
05:30and there are also those who love raw materials.
05:35The term of PNP Chief Police General Romel Marbil
05:39was extended for four months by President Gbombo Marcos.
05:42In the announcement of the Presidential Communications Office,
05:45it is effective tomorrow, Marbil's retirement day,
05:48based on the government's compulsory retirement age of 56 years old.
05:53The President said that he is considering extending the term of the PNP Chief
05:57because it is important to lead the PNP during the election.
06:01For GMA Integrated News, I am Darlene Cayang Inyong, Saksi.
06:06The residents of Antipolo City will have to endure for almost two months
06:09in a subdivision after they were cut off from water in December.
06:14Their Homeowners Association in Manila Water
06:18will now owe up to 1.7 million pesos.
06:22Saksi, Sian Cruz.
06:27The current and former head of the Homeowners Association
06:31of a subdivision in Antipolo City has now returned home.
06:35They are both saying that it is not their responsibility
06:38as to why the bulk meter of the subdivision was loaned to Manila Water.
06:43Under the bulk meter system,
06:45the master meter and water bill are named in the Homeowners Association.
06:50The homeowner who is submitting the meter
06:52is also collecting the water bill from the residents.
06:56Even for pesos, I am not getting anything from the water.
07:00If you ask me, we are still in debt.
07:04Because at that time, he was released.
07:07That's why I know that there is a debt.
07:09He is not stopping me because he wants to get the water.
07:13I don't know for what reason.
07:15Maybe for personal interest.
07:19Earlier, GMA Integrated News reached out to the Kupang Barangay
07:23using a fire truck.
07:25There is also a container on the street
07:27where residents can donate.
07:30On December 17, or almost two months,
07:33many residents are still suffering when they are cut off from water
07:37due to a loan from Manila Water.
07:39The cost of water is high for those who are donating every day.
07:43The water refilling station that has a business is now closed.
07:46More than 30,000 a month.
07:52In one month, 62 months.
07:56Yesterday, Manila Water returned the connection of the subdivision.
08:00But only those who paid Php 5,000 in the barangay have water now.
08:05Others don't want to pay because they have to work in their area.
08:09But they are not afraid that the water service will continue.
08:14There is no guarantee.
08:16When we first asked, will it be repaid?
08:18They said no.
08:20There is no problem, we can pay.
08:22But we are afraid that it will be cut off again.
08:28It will not go to the right place.
08:30According to Manila Water,
08:31the loan of the Homeowners Association is almost Php 1.7 million.
08:35With the help of Kupang Barangay,
08:37residents can now collect their payment.
08:41More than Php 375,000 has been down-payment
08:45which is why the water supply was restored.
08:47The remainder of the loan will fall within a year.
08:50According to the residents' request, instead of a pulp meter,
08:54each house will have its own metro.
08:57According to Manila Water.
08:59The debt of the homeowners of their community needs to be settled
09:06before we proceed or start the process of individualization
09:12which will be applied.
09:14For GMA Integrated News, Ian Cruz is your witness.
