NewsTranscript
00:00Good evening, Kapuso! I am your Kuya Kim, who will give you the trivia behind the trending news.
00:10The handsome guys who were bought by a girl from Albay,
00:14it's hard to catch them because they're running away.
00:18Can he still find them?
00:24When the family of Tagaligaspi Albay, Shira, went on a vacation,
00:27in Butuan City, Mindanao, they bought a fresh Alimango.
00:32But before they go home, what they should do to greet the Alimangos,
00:37is run away.
00:39The Alimangos ran away.
00:41When I got out of the room, I was surprised to see someone walking with an Alimango.
00:46I laughed, so I took a video of it.
00:49Then I called my mom, she was the one who got the Alimango.
00:54When she returned it to the icebox, she was surprised that there's no Alimango left.
01:02That's why Shira immediately went to her house to look for three missing Alimangos.
01:08One of them,
01:09we found it in the bathroom.
01:12while the other one, was about to sleep in the room of Shira's aunt.
01:17The last one,
01:18my uncle found it inside his bag.
01:21We didn't get hurt,
01:23because it was tied up.
01:26It was still alive when we brought it to Manila,
01:29that's why it's still fresh.
01:31But now, they're in the freezer.
01:35If Shira's Alimangos are not allowed to go out of their container,
01:40did you know that in Australia, thousands of Alimangos are waiting to be released every year?
01:45There are roads that are being closed to save those who cross them.
01:49We will not cross!
01:55Every year, you can witness on Christmas Island in Australia,
01:58one of the most important natural process,
02:02the Mass Red Crab Migration.
02:04Millions of Alimangos walk together from the forest to the ocean,
02:10to mate and swarm or deposit their eggs.
02:13To save the Alimangos,
02:15some parts of the road are being closed.
02:18Meanwhile, to find out the truth behind the viral news,
02:20just post a comment.
02:22Hashtag Kuya Kim, what's next?
02:24Always remember, what's important is what's known.
02:27I'm Kuya Kim, and I'll answer you 24 hours a day.
02:31A group of questionable content is monitoring online,
02:36against the Philippines and the President,
02:38particularly on the issue of the West Philippine Sea.
02:40Whatever it is, it will have an effect on the election,
02:43according to a group, our fan, Contrafake.
02:46Brought to you by Mariz Umaling.
02:52In the hearing of the House Tri-Committee,
02:54in connection with the spread of fake news and disinformation in the country,
02:58a group called Press1PH was invited,
03:00to monitor the online network of the social media account,
03:03that is spreading questionable content,
03:06against the Philippines and President Bumbong Marcos,
03:09particularly on the wrong direction of our government,
03:12on the issue of the West Philippine Sea.
03:14In their tweets, they frame this issue,
03:18as if the Philippines is a puppet of the U.S.
03:22America has an involvement here.
03:24They claim that it was funded by the U.S.,
03:27and America is asking for the Philippines to do something about the West Philippine Sea.
03:32This is to show a narrative that the Philippines is wrong,
03:36in talking about the West Philippine Sea, we should not be there.
03:39Although this is just one of the many issues,
03:42that are being posted by those behind this organized social media network,
03:47this has an effect on the upcoming election.
03:50This is very alarming ma'am,
03:52especially when this happened and we saw this,
03:55ahead of a very crucial election.
03:58And a lot of the information that they use,
04:01when they enter the polling precinct,
04:03they get from social media.
04:05Because if our electorate is not informed or misinformed or disinformed,
04:09we will not be able to give 100% confidence in our election.
04:15This is the database of Press1PH,
04:18and based on what they discovered,
04:20it turns out that there are no less than 107 accounts,
04:25where almost the same things are posted at the same time.
04:2925 of these are Chinese account names.
04:34These accounts are trying to appear as if they are legitimate by the people.
04:40So we can't identify who is running these accounts.
04:44But what we can say is, they understand Chinese.
04:48Comelec knows that there are groups like this,
04:51spreading misinformation and propaganda,
04:53to influence the election.
04:55It can be used in the candidacy of some of our candidates.
05:00If our countrymen can do something to confuse our countrymen,
05:04especially to report that it's not true,
05:07we will take down those platforms if necessary.
05:11We will try to commit our platforms to their seriousness,
05:16to help Comelec campaign against fake news, misinformation and disinformation.
05:22According to the Cybercrime Investigation and Coordinating Center or CICC,
05:27it is important for the public to know the importance of verifying content
05:32especially if there are tools to do so.
05:35CICC showed on GMA Integrated News their app
05:39that can detect deep fake videos on social media.
05:43They say it takes hours to activate the app,
05:45and put in the leaked video.
05:47The result will be released within 30 seconds if the content is fake or true.
05:52So, instead of continuously being deceived by the content,
05:58they have increased their discernment capability.
06:03If it's fake or not true, then they can vote properly.
06:08They can vote wisely.
06:09For GMA Integrated News, I'm Maris Umali Nakatuto, 24 hours.
06:14Former Congressman Rodolfo Ompong Plaza and Janet Napoles
06:21are accused of using the 27.5 million pesos pork barrel of Plaza.
06:28Not Guilty was declared by Plaza, Napoles and 8 other accused
06:34in the case of Malversation of Public Funds and Graft.
06:37According to Sandigan Bayan,
06:39there is no evidence that the accused of the kickback from the pork barrel of Plaza
06:44were accused by two non-government organizations.
06:48It is also valid to remove the pork barrel
06:51or the so-called Official Priority Development Assistance Fund or PDAF.
06:56This is different from the other cases that Napoles faced,
07:00including the pork barrels of other judges.
07:05In the middle of the energy department's debate,
07:08the National Grid Corporation of the Philippines, or NGCP,
07:11is not yet able to say if the supply of electricity will be enough
07:14in the upcoming elections.
07:17Maki Pulido is on the scene.
07:23During the last heatwave caused by El Niño,
07:26Raymundo's hypertension got worse.
07:28It was a hot day back then.
07:30There were still chances for a brownout.
07:32I feel dizzy and weak because there is no electric pad.
07:36That's why you really go out even at night.
07:39Before the heatwave in 2024,
07:41the Department of Energy assured that there is a sufficient supply of electricity.
07:45But almost simultaneously,
07:46several large plants were forced to shut down.
07:49Ten times, there was a shortage of electricity
07:51or there was a red alert in Luzon.
07:53While 26 times, there was a shortage of reserve electricity or yellow alert,
07:57several times, there was a rotational brownout,
07:59and the shortage of electricity increased.
08:02Like before, the Energy Department again assured
08:04that there is enough electricity in the upcoming heatwave,
08:07which is also an election season.
08:08We will have sufficient supply,
08:11including the necessary ancillary services.
08:15So we don't see a yellow or red alert.
08:19It's different now because El Niño is gone,
08:22like in 2024,
08:23and there are new sources of electricity,
08:25like solar energy.
08:27In the worst-case scenario,
08:28like if several large plants are destroyed again,
08:30the Interruptible Load Program,
08:32or getting electricity from the generators of large businesses,
08:36will be enough to move to the places serviced by Miralco.
08:40Electricity can also be expensive.
08:42Worse comes to worse,
08:43then our diesel facilities are ready.
08:46Of course, because it's diesel, liquid fuel,
08:49the generation cost will be more expensive.
08:52Despite the DOE's assurance,
08:54the NGCP, which is trafficking maintenance shutdowns to plants
08:57to estimate the power supply,
08:59said that it will answer this in March
09:01if there is enough electricity in the upcoming heatwave.
09:03Many things can change,
09:05so it needs to be updated.
09:08Hopefully, they can do something
09:10so that the electricity fund won't be short.
09:14For people like those with high blood pressure.
09:18For GMA Integrated News,
09:20Macky Pulido reporting for 24 Hours.
09:26Some towns in Palawan were flooded
09:28because of the heavy rains.
09:31The roads are still covered in mud,
09:34and many are in evacuation centers.
09:37That's why the GMA Kapusu Foundation came to the rescue.
09:44Residents in Barangay Poblacion in Aborlan, Palawan,
09:49suffered heavy rainfall
09:51because of the heavy rains brought by the shear line.
10:00The items in Ayla's house were covered in mud.
10:04We didn't bring any of our school supplies,
10:07even our school uniforms.
10:09We really didn't have anything.
10:11It's all gone.
10:14Eighteen pigs were also flooded by the heavy rains.
10:18My pigs were washed out
10:20because they couldn't stand the cold
10:23and the water was too high.
10:26Ana's six freezers were also flooded.
10:29She still buys these
10:31and uses them to sell ice
10:34for the fish caught in the flood.
10:37One of my freezers fell.
10:39We just started using freezers.
10:44Then it was flooded.
10:46We're really back to zero now.
10:50This Tuesday,
10:51the GMA Kapusu Foundation started repacking.
10:55The 3rd Marine Brigade was also involved.
10:58Aside from Aborlan,
11:00we also went to Nara in Palawan
11:03and distributed relief goods
11:05for the 6,000 individuals.
11:08The amount of rainfall within 24 hours
11:12reached 352 mm.
11:14So it's 12 times more than the normal rainfall
11:19in February.
11:20Severe flooding occurred,
11:22especially in our low-lying areas.
11:25Most residents
11:28don't know how to start again.
11:31We don't have any other source of income.
11:34I just call for food
11:38and financial support.
11:41For those who want to help,
11:43you can deposit in our bank accounts
11:46or send to Cebuana Lulier.
11:48You can also do it online
11:50via GKash, Shopee, Lazada, and Globe Rewards.
11:58Let's have a quick look
12:00at the Showbiz Happy News.
12:09The chemistry is overflowing
12:11in the Let's Groove Dance Challenge
12:13hosted by Jack Roberto and Jackie Kondzaga.
12:16Fans, why are you so excited?
12:20Let's Groove!
12:26The real-life couple,
12:28Bianca Umali and Ruru Madrid,
12:30didn't miss the TikTok trend.
12:32Their couple goals are very high
12:34because Ruru is still busy with her grandfather
12:37while Bianca is busy
12:39taping Encantadia Chronicles Sangre.
12:46Two days before Valentine's,
12:48there are already people
12:50looking for gifts.
12:52But do you know that
12:54that's not the first way
12:56to make Filipinos feel loved?
12:59According to a survey,
13:01let's listen to Mark Salazar's voice.
13:08It's only 4 o'clock in the morning
13:10and Jessie is already on duty as a street sweeper.
13:13Despite the smoke, heat, and tiredness from work,
13:16she is still taking care of her sick children and husband.
13:19This is Jessie's way
13:21to show her love.
13:28It's part of the Acts of Service,
13:30one of the five love languages
13:32based on the concept of the American author,
13:34Gary Chapman.
13:36When asked by the Social Weather Station
13:38about the survey conducted in December
13:40on how Filipinos feel loved,
13:43it turned out that the majority of Filipinos
13:45feel the Acts of Service
13:47or service
13:49at 67%.
13:51This is not surprising
13:53according to a sociologist
13:55because Filipinos used to be praised
13:57for being good at serving.
13:59Before, there was a courting session
14:01called Paninilbihan
14:03where the man
14:05will be present in the family.
14:07He helps because he can see
14:09what kind of person you are,
14:11if you are patient,
14:13if your love is real.
14:1551% of Filipinos
14:17express love
14:19or praise or words of affirmation
14:21and give quality time
14:23or hours.
14:25This is one of Evo's love languages.
14:27Sweet messages and gifts,
14:29words of affirmation.
14:31But only 33%
14:33of Filipinos
14:35express love through gifts.
14:37We give gifts sometimes.
14:39We have a budget.
14:41Maybe it's a matter of life
14:43that's why few ask for romantic gifts
14:45like flowers
14:47or things.
14:49Maybe groceries.
14:51It's more important
14:53than flowers.
14:55It's more practical than flowers.
14:57It's easier for the family to eat.
14:59The family needs rice,
15:01vegetables.
15:03In love languages,
15:05only 29% of Filipinos
15:07are touchy.
15:09For example, holding hands,
15:11hugging,
15:13and more.
15:15We're conservative.
15:17We're not too PDA.
15:19We have our own style.
15:21He can see what's around him.
15:23He can see what other people feel.
15:25He'll hold the girl's hand
15:27or the guy's.
15:29Maybe he's shy.
15:31Maybe he doesn't like it.
15:33So we're easy
15:35The fewest
15:37in the past two decades
15:39said they're happy with their love life
15:41in the December 2024 survey.
15:43Only 46%.
15:45Not like in 2023
15:47when 58%
15:49were happy.
15:51It's becoming a trend in other countries
15:53where each individual
15:55is becoming
15:57career-oriented.
15:59But Ivo already has a career.
16:01He has a happy love life.
16:03It's his time.
16:05Just give and take.
16:07Understand.
16:09So that there's no fight.
16:11If there's a fight,
16:13fix it.
16:15There's no
16:17one formula for a happy love life
16:19because we're different
16:21in love language.
16:23People will accept it differently.
16:25For singles,
16:27this Valentine's Day,
16:29prove again that
16:31you can have a happy love life
16:33even if you don't have a partner.
16:35Especially if you're successful
16:37in self-love.
16:39For JMA Integrated News,
16:41Mark Salazar,
16:43for 24 Hours.
16:45Correct.
16:47For us, our love language
16:49is acts of service.
16:51How do people online
16:53show their love?
16:55Most of the netizens
16:57use the hashtag
16:59Pasok sa Gifts.
17:01According to some,
17:03the way to a man and woman's heart
17:05is through their stomach.
17:07That's why they always cook
17:09their loved ones in life.
17:11Quality time through
17:13traveling together
17:15is what a commenter wrote.
17:17Effort in acts of service
17:19is what some are looking for
17:21because actions are heavier
17:23than words.
17:25This love month,
17:27just like I miss you and I love you,
17:29is enough to
17:31show your love
17:33according to a netizen.
17:35That's included in words of affirmation.
17:37But whatever your love language is,
17:39acts of service,
17:41quality time,
17:43physical touch, words of affirmation
17:45or giving gifts,
17:47it's more important to pray
17:49to the person you love.
17:51Dear friends,
17:53you can also let your voice be heard
17:5524 hours a day.
17:57In the study
17:59of an election watch group,
18:01more than half of the
18:03running party list representatives
18:05are not from the marginalized
18:07sector. Joseph Moro
18:09was chosen.
18:13When the election watch group
18:15Contra Daya voted
18:17for more than 100 party list candidates
18:19in 2025,
18:21more than half of the
18:23running party list representatives
18:25are not from the marginalized sector.
18:27One in four nominees
18:29are party list representatives
18:31from political dynasties.
18:3325 have experience in big businesses
18:35while 18 have experience
18:37in the police or military.
18:39There are also doubts
18:41in the case of trust.
18:43It's a big number to be worried about.
18:45In fact, I can even argue,
18:47even if it's just one,
18:49it's still a big issue
18:51for the marginalized and underrepresented
18:53party list system.
18:5520% of the
18:57running party list candidates
18:59should be from the party list
19:01according to the 1987 Constitution.
19:03When Contra Daya voted,
19:05they stated in the Constitution
19:07that the candidates are from
19:09the sectors of workers,
19:11the poor, the elderly, the women, the youth,
19:13and other sectors that allow
19:15the law, except for the religious sector.
19:17But it seems like the party list
19:19system is not paying attention
19:21to that provision.
19:23Because of the Supreme Court's decision
19:25in 2013 that states that
19:27those who can be nominated
19:29have a track record of advocacy
19:31for their respective sectors.
19:33Our party list system
19:35should be open to all people,
19:37to all groups.
19:39The Supreme Court's decision
19:41in 2001 stated that
19:43party list nominees
19:45should be from the marginalized
19:47For example,
19:49the interest of a retired youth
19:51or the interest of a poor
19:53or a worker of an industrialist
19:55should not be a project
19:57that is organized, funded,
19:59or helped by the government.
20:01There are proposed laws
20:03in Congress for the reform
20:05of the party list system.
20:07But according to Contra Daya,
20:09if this is not discussed in Congress,
20:11the Supreme Court may run again.
20:13While there is no request
20:15that the Center for People Empowerment
20:17and Governance of Senpeg
20:19have stricter
20:21scrutiny measures
20:23on who,
20:25which party list to accredit.
20:27I hope that the commissioners
20:29will also think about that.
20:31Comelec insisted on running
20:33so a group of 160 people were disqualified.
20:35But they held their hands tight
20:37because of the Supreme Court's decision
20:39and party list law.
20:41That's when it became a way
20:43for those who have power and money
20:45to become members of Congress
20:47through that loophole.
20:49As for the political dynasties
20:51where the party list system
20:53is being used,
20:55when it is said that
20:57it can be controlled by other groups,
20:59other families, or whatever,
21:01that may not be true.
21:03That's why we have a period
21:05where a person, group,
21:07registered voter
21:09can file a petition
21:11to deny due course
21:13or cancel a nomination.
21:15Unfortunately, we still don't have
21:17anti-political dynasty law
21:19in the Philippines.
21:21For GMA Integrated News,
21:23Joseph Morong, for 24 Hours.
21:29Off to Europe,
21:31the real-life couple, Derek Monasterio
21:33and El Villanueva
21:35for their well-deserved vacation.
21:37How about the celebration
21:39of Valentine's Day
21:41of other stars?
21:43Let's talk to Lars Santiago.
21:47Just this morning,
21:49Derek Monasterio
21:51and El Villanueva
21:53went to Europe.
21:55In Paris,
21:57they will celebrate
21:59Valentine's
22:01with their long-planned vacation.
22:03Because it's Valentine's
22:05and where else
22:07can you celebrate if not in Paris?
22:09And it's also
22:11his birthday on Feb 18.
22:13So that's my gift to him.
22:15I want us to create
22:17memories here.
22:19It's different from the material things
22:21that you can buy
22:23but this is
22:25a long time.
22:27Before Derek left,
22:29he finished the scenes
