NewsTranscript
00:00Two police officers and a barangay officer were arrested in Manticao, Misamis Oriental
00:05for driving illegally.
00:07One of them is a suspended police staff sergeant in Iligan City
00:11while the other is an active police staff master sergeant in Davao de Oro.
00:15They were arrested in 8 cases and their vehicle was stopped by the police.
00:20The bags containing minerals, guns, and bullets were confiscated.
00:25They were arrested by the Manticao Police and were able to face several cases.
00:30They did not give a statement.
00:33The Department of Agriculture allowed the removal of onions
00:37to avoid a higher price of up to Php 200 per kilo.
00:42But a group is questioning why, even now,
00:44when there are people who are starting to harvest onions,
00:47Bernadette Reyes is on the lookout.
00:50Bing still chose to buy the smallest onion.
00:54She loves the regular onions.
00:57Last week, I was able to get 140.
01:00Now, it's 200.
01:03She avoids selling vegetables with a lot of onion ingredients.
01:09I did not make sisig because onions are expensive.
01:13In the monitoring of the Department of Agriculture,
01:15the price of red onions is up to Php 200 per kilo.
01:20The price of white onions is up to Php 150 per kilo if local
01:24and up to Php 160 if imported.
01:27In mid-January, the price suddenly increased to Php 140 per kilo.
01:32Now, in February, it's Php 180 to Php 160 per kilo.
01:38To avoid a higher price,
01:41the Department of Agriculture has stopped harvesting red and white onions.
01:46According to the Bureau of Plant Industry,
01:48even if there is a sufficient supply of onions,
01:50it is still recommended to import to avoid a higher price.
01:55Because of the recent floods and the spread of pests and diseases,
01:59it is necessary to import to serve as a buffer stock in case of shortage.
02:03It was allowed to harvest 3,000 metric tons of red onions
02:07and 1,000 metric tons of white onions.
02:10It should arrive before February 20.
02:14The plant will run out by the first week of February.
02:18The stocks that are available now,
02:21there are some that are already harvested, but not that many.
02:25The Secretary wants to avoid the prices of onions that are too high.
02:33The Department of Agriculture or SINAG asked
02:36why it will be imported now,
02:38as some are starting to harvest onions.
02:41We don't have a problem if it will be imported if it is really needed.
02:44But usually, that is at the time of the harvest,
02:49in the month of July, August, September.
02:51If the import arrives in two weeks' time,
02:54that will be the peak harvest.
02:56The import is very small, only 4,000,
02:59just to ensure that from February 20
03:03or from now until the peak of harvest season,
03:06there will be no shortage of supplies.
03:12For GMA Integrated News, Bernadette Reyes,
03:16for 24 Hours.
03:19Five days after declaring a food security emergency in the country,
03:23there is still no LGU requesting rice from the buffer stock of rice
03:27of the National Food Authority or NFA.
03:30According to the NFA,
03:33more than 700,000 sacks of milled rice can be released.
03:37But they think that due to the funds and their own process,
03:40LGUs will be able to buy rice from the NFA for a long time.
03:45And if LGUs buy the buffer stock of rice,
03:48it will be sold to the public for P35 per kilo.
03:53The NFA is asking LGUs and the Food Terminal Inc.
03:59to release rice buffer stocks.
04:02Line of Food Security Emergency Declaration
04:04to lower the price of rice.
04:10The Senate will face the impeachment trial
04:13of Vice President Sara Duterte.
04:17That's what Senate President Cheese Escudero said
04:20when he met the leader and member of Jesus' Lord Church earlier.
04:23This impeachment trial of our second president,
04:28we will face it with courage and without hesitation.
04:33We will not convict him for his work.
04:37We will not acquit him for his work.
04:40Our job is to ensure that justice will be done.
04:45Our job is to ensure that the process
04:49will be trusted by the people.
04:53The Senate already held the articles of impeachment
04:56signed by 240 congressmen.
04:59So the Senate's work as an impeachment court
05:02has been completed.
05:03In the Congress' return session on June 2,
05:06the impeachment of Vice President Duterte is expected to be discussed.
05:09This process is really important
05:12to answer our officials.
05:15There is no other way to do this.
05:18This should be ended.
05:23It should be ended without delay.
05:26It should be ended without delay.
05:29I am not afraid of these kinds of challenges
05:32because I believe...
05:34But it should be urgent.
05:37Manila 3rd District Rep. Joe Agsua said
05:40that he is one of the 11 who will be prosecuted by the Camera.
05:43If we read the Constitution,
05:47it says that the impeachment
05:50should be brought to the Senate.
05:55The Senate shall forthwith.
05:59The fact that the word is used, shall,
06:02means mandatory.
06:04The fact that the word is used, forthwith,
06:07means that it should be done as soon as possible.
06:11Now, the interpretation is,
06:13what is the as soon as possible?
06:15Earlier, some senators said
06:17that they will not ask for a special session.
06:20I will not request for a special session,
06:22but if the President is requesting
06:25or the body would,
06:27majority of our colleagues,
06:30wanted a special session,
06:31I have no problem with it.
06:33I'm willing to comply.
06:35What I can see is,
06:37it's not good that the one who filed the impeachment
06:41is asking for it.
06:43It's like a bias.
06:45For GMA Integrated News,
06:47Darlene Cai, Nakatutok, 24 Hours.
06:50350,000 tons of rice from Vietnam
06:54were bought by rice importers from the country.
06:58According to Reuters news agencies,
07:01from the local rice industry.
07:03According to the press,
07:04the buyers from the Philippines are still negotiating.
07:08According to the buyers,
07:10they were able to buy rice
07:12because the price of rice in Vietnam
07:14was lowered a lot last week.
07:17According to Agriculture Department Spokesperson,
07:20Assistant Secretary Arnel De Mesa,
07:22it is now possible to import rice from Vietnam
07:25because of the holidays there.
07:31Peking Television is located in Siam Namilyong, Halaga,
07:33and was confiscated from an electronics store
07:36in Subic Bay Freeport, Zambales.
07:38According to the police,
07:39thousands of parts were also confiscated.
07:43Four Chinese nationals are being chased.
07:46The store but they were not caught there.
07:49They are still being searched.
07:56There is no change in the price of oil
07:58in the next week.
08:00According to Uni Oil,
08:02it is possible to lower the price of each liter of diesel
08:05but it is also possible that it will not move.
08:07There is also no change in the price of gasoline.
08:11According to the Oil Industry Management Bureau
08:13of the Department of Energy,
08:14the reason for the current price of oil
08:17is the high price of the oil sold by Saudi Aramco
08:20and the reduced production of OPEC
08:22while studying the possible effects of the oil
08:24that the United States imports
08:27from products from Canada, Mexico, and China.
08:37This mama is ready.
08:39Winwin Marquez is ready to slay again
08:41in the fashion scene
08:42in his challenge in Miss Universe Philippines.
08:45Here is my take.
08:49Winwin Marquez's peg is New Year, New Me
08:52in his post on IG wearing a two-piece swimsuit.
08:56Sparkle Mom is fit and fab.
08:58Winwin also shared the behind-the-scenes
09:01of one of his photoshoots.
09:03He captioned,
09:04This mama is ready to have fun.
09:06And it's not just for fun that Winwin is ready.
09:09Teresita Sen Winwin Marquez,
09:12Miss Universe Philippines,
09:15Muntinlupa.
09:18Sparkle Star is also ready
09:20to challenge again in the pageant stage
09:22as the host of Muntinlupa City
09:25in Miss Universe Philippines.
09:27Winwin does not consider it a risk
09:30to challenge again in the pageant.
09:33Almost eight years after being crowned
09:35as the first Filipino to win
09:37the Reina Hispano Americana.
09:39For me, I'm more of scared
09:44of the question of what if.
09:46I do not want any regrets.
09:49And an opportunity like this came to me,
09:52I have to grab it.
09:53We don't know when that will happen again.
09:57In 2023, Miss Universe changed their rules
10:01and candidates can join
10:04regardless of their marital and parental status.
10:07She was there when she announced
10:10her inspiration for joining again,
10:13her only child, Luna.
10:16I want her to watch me on stage.
10:18And when she grows up and say,
10:20My mom joined Miss Universe Philippines.
10:23My mom didn't give up on a dream.
10:26And that for me is a win already.
10:29Full support to Winwin,
10:31her cousin, Miss Universe Philippines 2023,
10:35Michelle Marquesti.
10:37There was no doubt that I would do that.
10:39Of course, she's my cousin.
10:40But she's also not very hard to support.
10:43Again, she's so kind.
10:45She's so talented.
10:46She has so much potential.
10:48And I know that her heart is in the right place.
10:50And for me, she is one of the best embodiments
10:53of a modern day Filipino mother.
10:57A fire broke out in a residential area
10:59in Barangay Apolonio, Samson, in Quezon City.
11:01According to the Bureau of Fire Protection,
11:03the fire started at 4 p.m. earlier.
11:06The fire reached the first alarm
11:08before the fire was declared under control
11:10before 5 p.m.
11:12According to the BFP,
11:13it was difficult for the firefighters to respond
11:15because the road is narrow
11:17and there are a lot of residents
11:18who are in a hurry
11:19carrying their own equipment.
11:21This was discovered before 6 p.m.
11:24The investigation of the fire continues
11:27and its importance in the area.
11:30No one was hurt.
