Transcript

00:00Live from the GMA Network Center, this is 24 Horas.

00:15Good evening, Luzon Visayas and Mindanao.

00:19A suspicious security driver was caught while sidelining a jeepney.

00:26It's been a long time since a suspect has been sidelined because of a murder in his neighbor's house.

00:31The means of crime is usually to bully the victim.

00:34Here is my exclusive report.

00:44Inside the passenger jeepney that he was sidelining,

00:47it was covered by PNP and CRPO operatives.

00:55It's been a long time since a suspect has been sidelined because of a murder in his neighbor's house.

01:00This suspect is a former security driver of a Korean during the time of the Pogo Incident.

01:07Since the Pogos are no longer here, he was sidelined as a jeepney driver.

01:13According to the police, he was shot and killed by the suspect in his neighbor's house, who accidentally jumped on him.

01:20According to our suspect, he is often bullied by our victim

01:24whenever he passes by.

01:26Until the suspect was found dead.

01:31He was found dead because he was always being bullied.

01:34The scene became dark and he killed the victim.

01:37He always asks me for money.

01:40When I get there, I ask him for money.

01:43The victim's family and his son were happy that they were able to get justice for the victim.

01:49I couldn't hide my happiness.

01:53I thought there was no hope for me.

01:57For GMA Integrated News, I'm Emilio Sumangil, for Tutok 24 Horas.

02:03Following the Pogo ban,

02:05some Senators want to tighten the restrictions.

02:10For example, the online gambling where the customer is in the Philippines.

02:15The Senate also criticized the slow deportation of foreign Pogo workers.

02:22Ma'am Gonzales is on the case.

02:27Even though all Pogo workers are banned,

02:29there are still many foreign workers who have not yet been deported to their countries.

02:34That's what came out of the Senate hearing earlier, which was dismayed by some Senators.

02:38What we released, Mr. Senator, is a total of 3,024.

02:44Only 10%? Why is that?

02:46Those are those that are apprehended or arrested in various operations by BI and or PAOC.

02:53We have 27,000 foreign nationals who used to work in Pogo

02:57and they don't know where they are.

03:00We have close coordination with the Bureau of Immigration and especially with PAOC and NBI.

03:06In a raid this January in Paranaque,

03:08only half of the 438 who were arrested were deported.

03:12Those who were arrested did not have a passport.

03:15So we have requested from the embassy for their travel documents.

03:20According to the BI, more were released last year.

03:23The PAGCOR also criticized the small and illegal Pogo operations

03:28that were conducted by some concerned citizens.

03:31Some of these have gone on guerrilla operations already.

03:34Some are already at home.

03:36We're finalizing these target packets.

03:38We will endorse it to PAOC.

03:40Others have gone to the islands.

03:42Travel agencies that issue fake documents to foreign nationals are also being targeted.

03:48We need to look at the angle that there is an inside job.

03:51It is possible that this is the reason why foreign nationals continue to enter the Philippines using fake documents.

03:59Just like the Paokamakailan raid,

04:01where many government-issued IDs, birth certificates and marriage certificates

04:06were obtained from the Philippine Statistics Authority.

04:09But the people who wrote it were fake.

04:11They issued Philippine passports to foreign nationals and then they changed their names.

04:16They still have contacts with government agencies.

04:20That's what we requested with other agencies,

04:25especially those who issued government-issued IDs,

04:29to conduct investigation on their own.

04:33We're looking at 21 more like this.

04:35Senators also criticized their weak regulation of PIGO or Philippine Inland Gaming Operator.

04:42They said we should be more alert here than in Pogo.

04:45The king of evil is this PIGO because the players are Filipinos.

04:49When the time comes, the crime will increase because many Filipinos are addicted to PIGO, online gaming.

04:58It has to be regulated.

05:00With regard to the Responsible Gaming Program,

05:03which covers both our land base and online currently,

05:08we have programs like the banning program.

05:13They can ban themselves or their family can also be nominated.

05:19They are also in contact with online payment platforms.

05:23Online providers themselves are also setting limits.

05:29Currently, there are 60 licenses in online gaming and PAGCOR is not issuing new licenses.

05:35There are fines for criminal operators,

05:38but Tulfo's complaint is suspension or cancellation of licenses.

05:42Filipinos are also involved in PIGO.

05:45Filipinos who are addicted to the illegal activities of PIGO,

05:50especially involving lab scams that are being done by foreigners,

05:54if they are caught, they will be given assistance from the DSWD.

05:58The assistance they were given was given to the people in need.

06:03Let us compel the DSWD for the next hearings.

06:07For GMA Integrated News, Mav Gonzalez was on duty for 24 hours.

06:13China joined its own patrol in the South China Sea

06:17along with the Philippine, American and Canadian Joint Patrol.

06:20The negotiation for the defense treaty between the Philippines and Canada is ongoing.

06:26Chino Gaston was on duty.

06:28Along with the Multilateral Maritime Cooperative Activity or MMCA in the West Philippine Sea of the Philippines, Canada and America,

06:39yesterday, the AFP confirmed that it has spotted a Chinese Navy warship,

06:44a research vessel and a helicopter.

06:47According to China, their ships were on a routine patrol yesterday.

06:53According to China, the formation of the Philippines by foreign countries for the joint patrols

06:59is just a cover-up for the incitement of chaos, media hype and violation of the rights of China in the sea.

07:06But the AFP is adamant that the Philippines has the right to conduct joint patrols and conduct the MMCA under international law.

07:15Under the Philippine Armed Forces, we are anchored on international laws in this.

07:20The arbitral ruling ruled in the favor of the Philippines,

07:23and this is the right of our country to perform in these exercises in our exclusive economic zone.

07:29The AFP Chief of Staff General Romeo Bronner wants more countries to join the MMCA.

07:36While the Department of National Defense has already started negotiations in Canada

07:41to form the defense treaty of our Visiting Forces Agreement in America.

07:46We are looking forward to having more of this with other countries such as Italy, United Kingdom and France.

07:54Before, we don't have joint sails with these countries.

07:57And this is a good sign because it means that again, we share interests and we have common objectives.

08:05But it is not only the joint patrols in the EEZ of the Philippines that are being threatened by China.

08:10The Chinese Foreign Ministry of the Philippines has promised not to comply with the promise of removing the U.S. Typhoon Missile Launcher from Luzon.

08:19But according to the AFP, the Philippines and China do not have such a promise.

08:23We don't have such a commitment.

08:25These are our Typhoon Missiles for the side of the AFP.

08:29These are used for our exercises, for training purposes.

08:33In April of 2024, the U.S. Typhoon Missile System arrived in the Philippines

08:37so that the Filipino soldiers can learn how to use it.

08:42For GMA Integrated News, Sino Gasto Nakatutok, 24 Hours.

08:4788 days before the election of 2025, the number of people who will verify the printed balotas has increased.

09:04A senatorial candidate is the one who expressed his opposition to the election.

09:09And Sandra Aguinaldo is the one who spoke out.

09:12Twenty-seven million balotas were printed for the May 12 elections.

09:16That's 36% of the more than 70 million balotas needed to be printed by COMELEC until April 14.

09:23The problem is that the verification process of the balotas is not fast,

09:28so only four million were verified.

09:31That's why COMELEC added 200 verifiers

09:35that were already placed in the basketball court of the Amoranto Sports Complex.

09:39Aside from them, there are more than 100 verifiers in the National Printing Office.

09:44They are inspecting the balotas one by one to make sure that they meet the standard

09:49before they go through the automated counting machine.

09:52If it's like this, it's like our money.

09:54I'll show you our money.

09:55There should be no smudge.

09:56There should be no lines like this.

09:58That's why they check everything.

10:00That's the manual.

10:01That's the manual.

10:02That's why they check everything.

10:03That's the manual.

10:04That's the manual verification.

10:05It's fast.

10:06There should be no smudge.

10:11There's an error.

10:12There's an error.

10:13Why?

10:14Because there was an error, the verifier checked the balotas again and tested it again in the machine.

10:22There, it passed.

10:24If it passed, it's considered a good balot, so it will be used in the elections.

10:29The defective balotas will be separated.

10:32Comelec is confident that they can still reach their April 14 deadline.

10:37Security is tight here in Amoranto.

10:40Many eyes are watching.

10:42That's why Comelec is saying that it's impossible for some syndicates to say that they can make the candidate win

10:50by manipulating the machine or balota.

10:55Comelec has already made a promise by a syndicate that a politician will win by using the invisible ink in the balota.

11:05There's another group that is counted as a former employee of the commission.

11:10Comelec is really from 17 years ago.

11:13We've been automating elections for 15 years.

11:16So he doesn't know about automated elections.

11:18If our countrymen hear this now, please arrest him immediately.

11:23Arrest him immediately.

11:25Meanwhile, Dr. Willie Ong is calling for the candidate to step back from being a senator

11:31to focus on taking care of his health after being diagnosed with sarcoma cancer.

11:36Comelec will not remove his name from the balota and his vote will only be a stray vote.

11:43According to Comelec, if Ong's personnel cannot go to Comelec,

11:47he can submit a certificate from the doctor.

11:51For GMA Integrated News, Sandra Aguinaldo for Tutok 24 Horas.

12:00And Chika Minute, Kapuso.

12:02And the one who will bring us the latest showbiz happenings tonight is none other than

12:07Pinibining Mariket star, Ashley Rivera.

12:11Ashley.

12:13Thank you, Ms. Vicky.

12:14And good evening, Kapuso.

12:17No chill to the different twists in the story of My Ilonggo Girl

12:21that will change the face of GMA Prime due to an incident.

12:25And due to the strength of the chemistry of the stars, Jillian Ward and Michael Sager,

12:30there's something new waiting for them.

12:33Let's talk to Lars Santiago.

12:36Sir!

12:38Sir Francis!

12:39Francis was saved by Tata against a tank in his life last night.

12:44Later…

12:47The patient has suffered chemical burns to the face due to the acid that was sprayed on his face.

12:52There will be a big change in the face of Prime Time.

12:57Who the hell thought of doing this?

13:00Is it the end of the world?

13:02Who the hell thought of doing this?

13:04Is it the end of the world?

13:06In the love story of My Ilonggo Girl.

13:09What will they do if Francis and Venice get back together?

13:15Or what will Venice do to Tata?

13:19Of course, this is very painful for Francis.

13:22His wife cheated on him.

13:24So we will see what Francis will do in their confrontation.

13:28That also affects the relationship of Tata and Francis.

13:31There's another problem.

13:33The marriage of Venice and James is not yet settled.

13:38Played by Yasser Marta.

13:40She loves him so much.

13:42She will do everything hopelessly romantic.

13:44She's crazy in love.

13:46And James will not give up on Venice.

13:51I'm the legal wife.

13:53It's time of my life.

13:56Off-cam.

13:57Their closeness is on another level.

14:00Jillian Ward and Michael Sager are comfortable with each other.

14:06We've been working together for a few months.

14:09Michael is very down to earth.

14:11He's trying to make his colleagues comfortable.

14:16I can really say that Jillian has been a big blessing in my life.

14:19Especially late last year.

14:21Unexpected though.

14:22But our relationship is unexpected on and off cam.

14:25She understands me, I understand her.

14:26That really makes me happy.

14:28A lot of people are saying that Jill and Michael's chemistry is strong.

14:34Director Rado Peru is preparing a Mick-Jill movie.

14:40I hope it will continue.

14:45Hopefully, there will be one.

14:47If we can bring this to the film, that will be exciting.

14:50Lore Santiago updated on the showbiz happening.

14:56The new transportation secretary was appointed,

14:59the former COVID-19 testing czar, Vince Dizon.

15:03This is effective on the upcoming February 21.

15:06He will replace the transportation secretary, Jaime Bautista,

15:10who has been working hard to achieve his ambitions.

15:14According to Executive Secretary Lucas Bersamin,

15:16the office of the President has authorized that the transition has already begun.

15:22Aside from being a testing czar during the time of former President Rodrigo Duterte,

15:26Dizon was also appointed as President and Chief Executive Officer

15:30of the Basis Conversion and Development Authority.

15:34The Energy Regulatory Commission approved an advocacy group

15:38that first asked for a large amount of Meralco,

15:41up to Php 160 billion in two years.

15:47In the middle of this, the Power Distribution Company asked for more money.

15:53Maki Pulido was on the scene.

15:58In June 2022, when the Energy Regulatory Commission asked for more money for Meralco,

16:03the distribution charge was limited to Php 1.35 per kWh,

16:09including the metering charge and supply charge.

16:13But according to the National Association of Electricity Consumers for Reform or NASICOR,

16:18if you look at the back of the Meralco bill,

16:20Meralco asked for Php 2.09 for the distribution,

16:24Php 33 for the metering and Php 49 for the supply charge.

16:28Php 1.57 was too much for the ERC.

16:33You will just multiply that with the energy sales of one year

16:37that we got from their website.

16:40In just one year, we got Php 82 billion.

16:47So if we multiply it by two years, it's Php 164.5 billion.

16:53This means that in Juscel's electric bill,

16:56Meralco asked for more than Php 1,122 from him.

17:00This came from the multiplication of Php 1.57

17:04that Dio Manoy overcharged for the Php 715 kWh that he consumed.

17:10It's food every day. That's where it should go.

17:14According to NASICOR, this is an illegal move.

17:18That's why it was written in the ERC.

17:21This is a big blow. This has a big effect on their franchise.

17:26Should people trust you?

17:29The ERC confirmed that Php 1.35 was ordered by the distribution charge agency.

17:35But it's an average rate.

17:37Because it's an average rate, the price will vary depending on the consumer and customer class.

17:42But they are verifying the data to answer the letter from NASICOR.

17:46We are still waiting for Meralco's statement.

17:49For the Php 1.35 distribution charge of Meralco,

17:53they are ready to refund Php 19 billion.

17:57But the group of NASICOR said that even if there is an excess collection,

18:01Meralco is still asking for an additional Php 33 for the distribution charge.

18:07You're just solving for Php 1.35. Why are you increasing it to Php 1.66?

18:14What is this? It's absurd and unreasonable.

18:19According to the ERC, Meralco just filed a petition for additional Php 1.35.

18:24It will be under public hearing and evaluation if it is justified.

18:28Meralco said Josel is already a customer.

18:31In the petition, she hopes that people like her will always pay for electricity.

18:37Trust. They are doing their job well.

18:40It's not a joke.

18:43The people are looking for a living.

18:46Usually, others don't really know.

18:51For GMA Integrated News, Mackie Pulido reporting for 24 Hours.

18:56The disc jockey and influencer, Jelly Ao, filed a complaint with the NBI

19:01against his fiancée's behavior.

19:03In the social media post of his friend, Christian Tugado,

19:07which was allowed to be used in GMA Integrated News,

19:10you can see the bloody face of Jelly.

19:13He also got bruises and wounds.

19:15Today, Jelly's camp turned to the NBI's office to investigate the incident.

19:20He didn't reveal the truth, but in social media,

19:24he thanked all those who reached out to him for prayers and support.

19:30The Pasay Metropolitan Trial Court judged the case,

19:33Acts of Lasciviousness,

19:35filed by actor Sandro Mulac against a director and a script writer.

19:40In the decision, the court said that this is already a part of

19:44the separate rape through sexual assault case

19:48that was also filed by Mulac in the Pasay Regional Trial Court

19:51against Jojo Nones and Richard Cruz.

19:54According to the court,

19:56the filing of the separate two counts of Acts of Lasciviousness is already an overkill.

20:02In an Instagram story, Sandro said that the heavier case has not yet been dismissed.

20:08His camp will also receive a motion for reconsideration.

20:18To those who have a walk tomorrow to celebrate Valentine's Day,

20:22bring an umbrella because it's going to rain.

20:25According to the forecast,

20:26there are still three weather systems in different parts of the country.

20:30The shear line is surrounded by hot and cold winds.

20:33It will continue to rain in Batanes and Pabuyan Islands.

20:36Easterlies is expected to rain in Visayas

20:39and some parts of Luzon as well as Metro Manila.

20:42Intertropical Convergence Zone or ITCZ is expected to rain in Mindanao.

20:47Based on the data of Metro Weather,

20:49the chance of rain in the morning in a large part of Luzon

20:52and some places in the Bicol Region, Visayas and Mindanao is possible to rain.

20:57When it comes to the afternoon,

20:58it is expected to rain extensively in a large part of the country.

21:02Heavy to intense rainfall is possible in many places

21:05so be careful of flood and landslides.

21:08It is expected to rain less when it comes to the evening.

21:11As experienced earlier in some parts of Metro Manila,

21:14there is a chance of rain in the afternoon and tomorrow,

21:16so be extra careful especially if you are walking.

21:25Just a day before Valentine's Day,

21:27we have good news especially for the fans of Alden Richards and Catherine Bernardo.

21:33We will be able to watch the highest-grossing Filipino film of all time

21:38Hello Love Again on the streaming platform Netflix.

21:41So if you missed it in the movies,

21:43now is the perfect time to watch the sequel of the love story of Ethan and Joy.

21:50So that you won't miss Valentine's Day,

21:53some people went on a romantic but free date in Manila.

21:58Those who are buying in Dangua Flower Market are also increasing.

22:02And live from Pasig River Esplanade,

22:04this is your host Marie Umar.

22:06Marie.

22:11Vicky, tomorrow is the Day of Hearts,

22:13but many people are already celebrating this Valentine's Day.

22:18They say that there is nothing wrong with that

22:20because the truth is that every day should be the day of love.

22:29Here in Roseros Park,

22:30Andre asked to go on a date with his lover Trix

22:34this Valentine's Day.

22:36If the date itself is already busy,

22:39it becomes more of a hassle.

22:41Valentine's is not about the date.

22:44It's just to use your time with your lover.

22:52Something that Trix liked more.

22:55Culture and heritage.

22:57Just to appreciate our roots as Filipinos.

23:03To explore.

23:04Very informational to us.

23:08It gets us both to learn new things.

23:14And many of them advanced Valentine's

23:16in what is considered the last lung of Manila.

23:18Where it's quiet and you can commune with nature.

23:22Like visiting Koi Pond or a colorful fountain.

23:26It's nature, so deep talks.

23:29How are you through the day?

23:31It's still the same.

23:34Like adulting.

23:35Trust.

23:36Because we are loyal.

23:38Someone even did a pre-nup pictorial in the area of Roseros

23:41in front of the Pasig River.

23:43There are not many people yet.

23:45Just a few of us.

23:46You can still enjoy the views.

23:48It's only once a year.

23:50But every day is the day of love.

23:56While others enjoyed the river in the new Pasig River Esplanade.

24:00The Dangwa Flower Market is more lively.

24:03More people are buying flowers as gifts.

24:06Like Andre.

24:08For my girlfriend.

24:10Because she's my love.

24:12As long as I can make my girlfriend happy.

24:16She will appreciate it.

24:17For me, flowers are romantic.

24:24In love, you give flowers to the person you love.

24:30Or even NBSB or No Boyfriends Since Birth.

24:34Like Nina Rasmin and Jadine.

24:36Team Single!

24:38We agreed to give our parents dry flowers.

24:42And I bought shots because my mom's favorite color is purple.

24:47For me, my mom's favorite color is yellow.

24:50It's a pride.

24:51Because it doesn't carry the significance of love.

24:55It's just self-love.

24:57You love yourself first.

24:59Because you can't give genuine love if it doesn't come from yourself first.

25:06Ecuadorian Roses, China Roses, Carnation, Eucalyptus, and Tulips are the most popular.

25:13They cost 20 to 600 pesos depending on the class.

25:17You can also sell bouquets with stuffed toys and balloons.

25:20And dried flowers.

25:22For those who are looking for a practical gift this Valentine's,

25:25these bouquets are for a literal healthy relationship.

25:30Presenting Veggie Bouquet.

25:32We made a vegetable bouquet to give an idea to these farmers

25:36that they won't lose hope.

25:38Vicky, tonight there are more families and lovers here at Pasig River Esplanade

25:45to celebrate and date.

25:47If you love a lot of Valentine's gifts,

25:51it will be more expensive tomorrow.

25:53But for many, this is not a problem

25:55because it's really expensive to love.

25:58But the truth is, Vicky, it's priceless.

26:01It's not just a gift.

26:03It's really expensive to love.

26:05But the truth is, Vicky, it's priceless to love.

26:09Right, Vicky?

26:10Happy Valentine's.

26:11Nox, that's true.

26:12Just like what Rafi said.

26:14Thank you very much, Maris Umali.

26:20Sparkle star Bianca Umali shared her reaction to the issue

26:24that was brought to her by the movie Mananambal

26:28where she was with the superstar Nora Onor.

26:31Bianca also brought emotional experiences from her childhood.

26:36Let's talk to Nelson Canlas.

26:42I always say that I will love you.

26:46Everything I do, I want you to see it because it's for you.

26:50Bianca Umali became emotional

26:52in her last appearance on GMA Integrated News Interviews

26:57when she shared the struggles that she went through when she was young.

27:01Again, at the age of 10,

27:03she was raised by her grandmother, Victorina.

27:08She raised me without any question.

27:11I can imagine.

27:12I told her many times.

27:14We were 11 grandchildren in her house.

27:16And she all sent us to school.

27:19And given all of that, my grandmother wasn't the richest.

27:22My grandmother was past 60.

27:25She was retired.

27:26How was she able to do that?

27:28Exactly.

27:29That's the miracle.

27:30Even when we backtrack,

27:32and even when you ask her,

27:33she would say,

27:34I don't know.

27:35She's such a selfless woman.

27:37She's really,

27:38she's my wonder woman.

27:39I call her my superhero

27:41because she raised me.

27:43Everything that she does now,

27:45from her personal achievements

27:47to the milestones of her career as an artist.

27:51It's for her.

27:53This is how I show her that

27:56this is how she raised me.

27:59I'm proud because I didn't waste what she taught me.

28:03Among the milestones

28:04that gave her great happiness to her grandmother,

28:08was her return

28:09to Jinseyo Arigato International Film Festival

28:12Best Actress Award last year,

28:15where she worked as a National Artist for Film

28:18and Broadcast Arts, Nora Onor,

28:21in the movie, Mananambal.

28:23It's a surreal experience

28:25to work as a superstar

28:28of the Philippine showbiz.

28:30But even so,

28:31it was full of intrigue.

28:33Recently,

28:34a part of the press conference

28:37of Mananambal the Healer went viral.

28:39And you answered the billing issue

28:44that was posed to you.

28:46Tell me, what happened there?

28:48I was shocked.

28:50It became an emotional moment for me

28:53at some point.

28:54But then, in my heart and in my mind,

28:57I knew that the best way to handle it was

29:00to be the most professional person in the room,

29:03to be working with our superstar

29:06and with our national artist

29:08is already an honor.

29:11And that is everything I need.

29:14Everything else that comes from it,

29:17the billing,

29:18even the award that I won,

29:21is already a bonus.

29:23And because it's Valentine's Day tomorrow,

29:25we asked if Bianca and her boyfriend,

29:30Ruru Madrid, have plans.

29:31Well, Ruru and I,

29:33we don't really celebrate

29:36Valentine's Day.

29:39But for us,

29:42we don't need a particular day

29:45to express and prove to each other

29:48that I love you so much.

29:50In part 2 of my interview with Bianca,

29:53the conversation will go deeper.

29:55She will tell many things

29:57that made Ruru and Bianca's relationship stronger.

30:00And one of her experiences last year

30:03that had a huge effect on her life.

30:06Nobody knew, but Ruru.

30:09It wasn't easy.

30:11I always thought,

30:12I don't want this anymore.

32:35We continue to follow the campaign

32:37of the running senators

32:39for the election of 2025.

32:41For GMA Integrated News,

32:43Salima Refran.

32:4524 Hours.

32:47Rice is now cheaper

32:49under the Rise for All program.

32:51Rice is now cheaper

32:53under the Rise for All program

32:55but only in Kadiwa Centers.

32:57To make rice cheaper,

32:59the Agriculture Department

33:01targets to lower

33:03the price of imported rice

33:05which is hard to comply

33:07according to some retailers.

33:09Bernadette Reyes has the story.

33:13Since today,

33:15the price of rice

33:17in Kadiwa Centers

33:19is lower than

33:21under the Rise for All program.

33:23The 100% broken rice

33:25that used to be P36

33:27is now P33.

33:29The 25% broken rice

33:31that used to be P38

33:33is now P35.

33:35While the 5% broken

33:37that used to be P45 per kilo

33:39is now P43.

33:41This is a big thing

33:43for those who buy

33:45with a limited budget.

33:47It's a big help.

33:49I hope the price will still go down

33:51so that we can afford

33:53our budget.

33:55But some retailers

33:57haven't been able to lower the price.

33:59They will give a discount

34:01according to the D.A.

34:03As of now,

34:05we haven't been able

34:07to lower the price

34:09because our income is high

34:11and if we want,

34:13we will order a discount

34:15The D.T.I. and D.A.

34:17are consulting with groceries and supermarkets

34:19so that they can sell it.

34:21Of course, if they can lower

34:23or sell

34:25a lower price,

34:27this is best for the consumers

34:29because at least the consumers

34:31have choices of a lower price.

34:33While the price of rice

34:35is going down in Kadiwa Centers,

34:37the Department of Agriculture

34:39is also targeting to lower

34:41the price of imported rice

34:43as of now, P55 per kilo

34:45is the target to lower

34:47P52 per kilo

34:49the 5% imported rice

34:51from February 15.

34:53It's a difficult thing for other retailers

34:55because they have almost no income

34:57from rice.

34:59We don't have much income

35:01because we are paying the labor

35:03and business permit.

35:05Our world prices are also going down.

35:07Theoretically,

35:09if the world price of rice

35:11is going down,

35:13even its inputs including fertilizer

35:15should follow.

35:17For GMA Integrated News,

35:19Bernadette Reyes,

35:2124 Hours.

35:23Tomorrow is Valentine's Day

35:25but the media conference

35:27of the upcoming rom-com movie

35:29Everything About My Wife

35:31is already full of love.

35:33The stars and real-life couple

35:35Dennis Trillo and Geneline Mercado

35:37shared wisdom about love.

35:39Here's Obri Carampel's report.

35:45Valentine's feels

35:47the media conference of Everything About My Wife

35:49which is hosted by the ultimate star

35:51Geneline Mercado

35:53and the heart of drama king Dennis Trillo.

35:55And their love triangle

35:57is Sam Milby.

35:59The Everything About My Wife

36:01collaboration of Creation Studios

36:03and GMA Pictures

36:05is a perfect post-Valentine's movie

36:07because it's full of life

36:09and love lessons.

36:37Focus on what you need

36:39and what like on yourself

36:41but love is sacrifice.

36:43Love is not about you,

36:45it's about the other person.

36:47And when you focus on the needs of the other person also

36:49and giving that love,

36:51sacrificial love,

36:53then you'll have

36:55a much happier relationship.

37:01Geneline and Dennis

37:03will have an affair

37:05that they'll fall in love with each other.

37:07They'll get married.

37:13But when they have a problem

37:15with each other,

37:17the marriage will be on the rocks.

37:19But in real life,

37:21there's no danger to their characters

37:23because their married life

37:25is happy and strong.

37:27The secret is

37:29you should know everything about your wife

37:31and vice versa.

37:35Whatever

37:37you're going through,

37:39whatever your problems are,

37:41you should sit down

37:43and you'll understand each other.

37:45Tell the truth.

37:47Because I feel like if you tell the truth

37:49and you didn't hide it,

37:51you won't make a mistake.

37:53The most important thing is to be transparent

37:55about everything you do,

37:57where you're going, what you're going to do.

37:59Your wife should know everything.

38:01It's the same for me.

38:03I need to know everything about her

38:05so I can understand her better.

38:07Sam was inspired by

38:09Kapuso Couple.

38:13Their relationship is enviable.

38:15Even if they're working together,

38:17I mean,

38:19most people like to separate

38:21their two lives, work and personal life.

38:23But they're able to do it so well.

38:25Their working dynamics are different

38:27now that they're married

38:29and have kids.

38:31Our maturity

38:33is different now

38:35because

38:37we used to fight a lot back then.

38:39We'd just look at each other

38:41and get mad at each other.

38:43It's like

38:45we're really immature.

38:51We're the same.

38:53We're the same.

38:55We're the same.

38:59We want to be role models

39:01for our kids.

39:03We want them to see

39:05that this is how it should be.

39:07They should always be happy.

39:09They should be able to show

39:11how a relationship

39:13can survive.

39:15So that when they grow up,

39:17they'll know how to handle

39:19situations like that.

39:21There's a standard.

39:23They'll be in Cebu on Valentine's Day.

39:25They'll have mall shows

39:27while films and cinemas

39:29will be showing on February 26.
