NewsTranscript
00:00Not only is there a constant heat stroke, but there are also more and more cases of rabies.
00:07That's why today is Rabies Awareness Month.
00:10Free service for pets, the Alok sa Quezon City.
00:14Here is my lesson.
00:16Rabies Awareness Month
00:22Domer Esperas walked his five jaguar pets,
00:28Twinkle, Heart, Pepper, and Ginger,
00:31to their destination, Quezon Memorial Circle,
00:35where they spent the whole day earlier,
00:38Rabies Awareness Month.
00:41There, the fur parents are petting their dogs and cats,
00:45whether they have a breed or not,
00:47which is also known as Aspin or Puspin.
00:51In this activity, all services are free for the residents of Quezon City,
00:57including feeding.
00:59According to the Quezon City Veterinary Department,
01:02for cats,
01:05this number has increased by more than 60%
01:09in the past five years.
01:12We need to control overpopulation
01:16so that we can sustain our ability to vaccinate every dog every year.
01:22Microchipping is also free.
01:24This is the planting of a chip or ID or locator
01:29in the body of our pets.
01:31Microchipping is an implant
01:34that serves as a permanent ID of our pets.
01:38So if the pet is missing and there is a microchip,
01:42we can trace it.
01:43This is one of the things that Domer chose.
01:45Aside from being efficient,
01:48he also saved a lot.
01:50Because if he makes this outside,
01:52he will get 15 meals for his five pets.
01:56We also avoid theft.
01:59We have proof that we have a name
02:02because our name, address, and number are written there.
02:05And of course, the pet owners are eager
02:09to get their pets microchipped by anti-rabies.
02:13According to the Quezon City Veterinary Department,
02:16rabies is spreading all over the world
02:19in the countries of dogs and cats.
02:22We are already down to the 6th place in the ranking
02:26and hopefully, we will be out of the top 10
02:29within a few years.
02:30Hopefully, by 2030,
02:32we can make it so that no one will die
02:36because of rabies bites.
02:38According to Dr. Napoles,
02:40pet owners have a problem
02:42that should be educated
02:44on how to treat their pets.
02:4930% of our pet owners,
02:53based on the survey we did,
02:55said that they only look after their pets.
02:58They don't value them.
03:01That's what we want to change.
03:04We are gathering pet owners
03:06so that they can value their pets more.
03:09For GMA Integrated News,
03:11I'm Emilio Subangil,
03:12for Tutok 24 Horas.
03:18Not only did we watch,
03:19we also had a block screening.
03:21Asia's multimedia star,
03:22Alden Richards,
03:23fully supported the rom-com film,
03:25Everything About My Wife,
03:27by Dennis Trillo and Jeneline Mercado.
03:29Denjen is very thankful
03:31that she's busy taping
03:32their upcoming Kapuso series.
03:34That's what Aubrey Carambel said.
03:39Asia's multimedia star,
03:41Alden Richards,
03:42also didn't miss the must-watch rom-com film,
03:44Everything About My Wife.
03:47Alden and Jeneline Mercado
03:49and Dennis Trillo fully supported it.
03:51That's why they had a block screening.
03:53Jen and Denjo are close to me.
03:57When this movie came out,
03:59and I'm hearing a lot of good reviews,
04:01we should start an environment like that
04:03towards one another.
04:04We support each other, of course.
04:06Alden is so sweet.
04:08Thank you, Alden.
04:09I'm thankful to him
04:10because he's always supportive
04:12to the industry,
04:13to his friends,
04:15to the upliftment of Filipino movies.
04:17We've been working together for a long time,
04:20but until now,
04:21he's still the same Alden that I know.
04:23He's so generous,
04:25so kind,
04:26and so supportive.
04:28Alden wishes to work with Denjen again.
04:31It's on my bucket list to be,
04:33of course,
04:34to work with them again.
04:36They're good people.
04:38That's what I'm banking on.
04:40They deserve all the support they can get,
04:43and they deserve all the support
04:45they've been getting
04:46for every project that they do.
04:48Everything About My Wife,
04:50the highest-grossing Filipino film,
04:52Hello, Love Again,
04:53and the MMFF 2024 Best Picture,
04:56Green Bones,
04:57will be released
04:58at the Manila International Film Festival
05:02in Los Angeles, America.
05:04At least, we'll be able to bring
05:06our two movies to the US.
05:10I hope you'll enjoy it.
05:11We'll be happy to watch our fellow Filipinos there.
05:14They weren't able to come because
05:16they're already taping
05:18their upcoming Kapuso series.
05:20We're like the police now.
05:22He's still acting.
05:24He's still adjusting.
05:25Alden is busy as a co-producer
05:28of the concert of the 90s boy band
05:30of 98 Degrees in Manila soon.
05:33We're excited because
05:34when we posted the teaser,
05:36my aunties and uncles,
05:39and of course, my family also,
05:41were really excited to watch it.
05:44So, we're very excited.
05:45Aubrey Garampel,
05:46updated to showbiz happenings.
05:50A vehicle found at a checkpoint
05:51in Misamis Occidental
05:53was caught
05:55with less than half a million pesos.
05:58The head of the police
06:00of a town in the province
06:02was also arrested.
06:04Here's my exclusive report.
06:10The vehicle was found
06:12at the checkpoint of the police
06:14in Oroquieta, Misamis Occidental.
06:16But the police also found
06:17something on the other side.
06:19The vehicle was heavily tinted.
06:21The three passengers were in it.
06:23And when the police checked,
06:25there was a curtain
06:26next to the so-called
06:28smuggled drugs.
06:30The initial violation
06:31is the avoidance of the
06:32Comelec checkpoint.
06:33The police found out
06:34that this was done illegally.
06:37It turned out that there were
06:39allegedly smuggled cigarettes.
06:41The police found
06:42less than half a million pesos
06:43worth of smuggled drugs.
06:45The driver and his two passengers
06:46were arrested.
06:48The police did not investigate it.
06:50But they confirmed
06:51in GMA Integrated News
06:53that the chief of police
06:55of a town in the province
06:57was the driver of the vehicle.
06:59A firearm was also found
07:01and a passenger
07:03who was a police officer
07:05was identified.
07:07What is your position?
07:08This is an officer
07:10in charge of a police station.
07:11The vehicle is owned by
07:13a forced police officer.
07:16We continue to try
07:18to get a warrant for arrest.
07:20Meanwhile,
07:21it was found that less than 15 million pesos
07:23worth of smuggled cigarettes
07:25were found in the port of Manila.
07:28It came from Zamboanga
07:30and was forced to enter Metro Manila.
07:32The Zamboanga was able to get
07:34intelligence support
07:36that an undocumented
07:39container van was smuggled.
07:41Under investigation,
07:43the smuggled items were found
07:45and affected the economy
07:47of the country.
07:49The legitimate businessmen
07:51are pitiful.
07:53Our government
07:55does not give proper taxes.
07:57For GMA Integrated News,
07:59Emil Sumangil,
08:00Nakatutok, 24 Hours.
08:02Not a college graduate,
08:04but has work experience?
08:06You can get a college degree
08:08based on your experience
08:10and training under a program
08:12that was expanded
08:14by a new law.
08:16I'm Darlene Kaye.
08:21First year in her business management course,
08:23Angeline was the first child.
08:25She was not able to go back to school
08:27because her family was poor
08:29and she was forced to work.
08:31Even though she had 10 years in sales
08:33and 5 years as a barangay health worker
08:35and now a secretary,
08:37she might have more opportunities
08:39if she had a college degree.
08:41It has a huge effect.
08:43If you want to apply for a job,
08:45I can't achieve it
08:47because I always look for
08:49college graduates.
08:51You need at least
08:532 to 3 years
08:55before you can apply.
08:57Of course, I didn't get it.
08:59Now, it's more possible
09:01with the newly added
09:03Expanded Tertiary Education Equivalency
09:05Program or ETIAP Act.
09:07In ETIAP, there will be a mechanism
09:09to get to know the students
09:11and their experience
09:13from work or other training
09:15and consider it as an alternative
09:17to college classes to get
09:19an equal bachelor's or college degree.
09:21You can get it as long as you're Filipino,
09:2323 years or older,
09:25have a high school diploma,
09:27and 5 years or more in a job
09:29related to getting a college degree.
09:31This is important because
09:33your work will be evaluated
09:35and credited as units
09:37in your degree program.
09:39If you get in,
09:41just apply to one of the more than
09:43100 ETIAP-authorized schools
09:45listed in the CHED Regional Offices.
09:47They will assess if your experience
09:49is sufficient.
09:51Once they apply,
09:53they should already bring with them
09:55the certificates of their work experience, etc.
09:57If you need to take
09:59additional units or subjects
10:01for online night or weekend classes.
10:03To be honest,
10:05ETIAP hasn't changed
10:07because there was an executive order
10:09in 1996.
10:11But now that there's a law,
10:13it will be expanded and funded
10:15by the government
10:17for more benefits.
10:19Because of this,
10:21the Commission on Higher Education
10:23or CHED was given power.
10:25As a lead agency,
10:27the standards, monitoring,
10:29and implementation of the ETIAP program
10:31across the country.
10:33The target is to double the number of colleges
10:35and universities that have ETIAP.
10:37During the executive order,
10:39there were more than 41,000 ETIAP graduates
10:41from 1999 to October 2024.
10:43Now,
10:45Angeline is excited
10:47to add to that number.
10:49I like it more
10:51when you have a picture of your graduation.
10:53Of course, it's different
10:55when you're done.
10:57Here's the Integrated News.
10:59Darlene Cain reports for 24 Horas.
11:27In Maguindanao del Norte,
11:29some big trees fell on the road
11:31due to strong winds and rain.
11:33No one was hurt,
11:35but some motorists were stranded.
11:37According to the forecast,
11:39it's like a thunderstorm
11:41that can happen even if you leave the area.
11:43The weather is back,
11:45but only in the extreme northern Luzon
11:47is it affected.
11:49It's still hot easterlies
11:51in the rest of the country.
11:53Tomorrow, the hottest possible temperature
11:55will be around 42 degrees Celsius.
11:57The heat index in Tagupan, Pagasinan
11:59is different from Bales,
12:01Bulong in Tanawan, Batangas,
12:03San Jose, Occidental, Mindoro,
12:05and Cuyo, Palawan in Metro Manila.
12:07It's between 39 to 40 degrees Celsius.
12:09It's also hot in other parts of the country.
12:11According to the Metro Weather,
12:13there's still a chance of rain
12:15tomorrow, especially in the afternoon and evening.
12:17There's a strong rain in the northern Luzon,
12:19Palawan, Bicol Region, and Mindanao.
12:21There's also a low chance
12:23of rain in Metro Manila,
12:25but the weather is still hot,
12:27so bring an umbrella if you can walk.
12:29Let's just taste
12:31the feeling of the heat,
12:33but the highest demand
12:35for electricity
12:37this year.
12:39What about in May?
12:41When will the heat rise?
12:43And there's still an election.
12:45The Energy Department's answer
12:47to Maki Pulido's question.
12:49It's hot.
12:51The MMDA doesn't like it,
12:53but in the heat of the moment,
12:55some say they need to take off their T-shirts.
12:57It's so hot.
12:59It's so hot.
13:01It won't last long.
13:03Even Baby didn't wear a T-shirt
13:05this afternoon so that
13:07her face won't get sunburned.
13:09Today, four places experienced
13:11a heat index in the danger category.
13:13Dagupan, Pangasinan, where it reached
13:1545 degrees Celsius,
13:1722 degrees Celsius in Iba Zambales,
13:19San Jose Occidental, Mindoro,
13:21and Cuyo, Palawan.
13:23And while the weather is getting hotter,
13:25the consumption of electricity is also increasing.
13:27Yesterday, the highest demand for electricity
13:29this year was recorded
13:31at almost 11,900 megawatts.
13:33And yesterday, the NGCP
13:35declared a yellow alert.
13:37It means there's enough supply of electricity,
13:39but there's a possibility of brownout
13:41if a plant is damaged.
13:43The yellow alert doesn't mean
13:45there's a shortage of electricity.
13:47It means there's a shortage of
13:49reserves for the biggest plant
13:51that's connected to our system.
13:53As the yellow alert
13:55for electricity supply
13:57is starting again,
13:59Lola Cora is getting nervous,
14:01especially since the heat is starting.
14:03I love electricity.
14:05That's how the service will happen.
14:07According to the DOE forecast,
14:09the highest demand will be
14:11in May due to the heat
14:13during the election.
14:15The demand could reach 17,000 megawatts
14:17and there's a need for reserves.
14:19But the DOE said there's available
14:21supply of 19,000 to 20,000 megawatts
14:23because they're expecting
14:25new plants for electricity
14:27so the supply will increase by 20%.
14:29Even if the plants are damaged,
14:31the supply of electricity will be able
14:33to reach 700 megawatts.
14:35We included in our projection
14:37when we simulate,
14:39the average for the last 3 to 4 years
14:41of outages.
14:43It's already input.
14:45Jennie is still recovering
14:47from her laundry shock.
14:49Hopefully, the heat won't
14:51cause a rotational brownout.
14:53If we don't have electricity,
14:55we won't be able to operate.
14:57According to the DOE,
14:59the use of electricity
15:01will not be reduced
15:03due to the heat,
15:05but will only be reduced
15:07by 24 to 26 degrees
15:09For GMA Integrated News,
15:11Maki Pulido for 24 Hours.
15:27Enrollment for Filipinos
15:29to vote abroad
15:31will start on March 10
15:33through online voting.
15:35Komelek hopes this will help
15:37encourage more Filipinos
15:39to vote abroad.
15:41This is Sandra Aguinaldo.
16:07Good news to all our countrymen abroad
16:09during the election.
16:11In the upcoming 2025 national elections,
16:13it will be made more accessible
16:15and easier for Filipinos to vote
16:17overseas voters.
16:19You can vote online.
16:21This video was shared
16:23on social media pages
16:25of embassies around the world.
16:27But Komelek said,
16:29among the estimated 10.7 million
16:31Filipinos who work
16:33and live abroad,
16:35more than 1.2 million
16:37are registered voters.
16:39Komelek hopes that
16:41through online voting,
16:43Filipinos abroad will be encouraged to vote.
16:45They just need to enroll online
16:47and present their ID
16:49starting March 10.
16:51It's up to a group of seaman
16:53who may not be able to vote.
16:55This is what they themselves
16:57told Komelek Chairman
16:59George Erwin Garcia.
17:01According to Komelek,
17:03registered voters will only have
17:05five hours.
17:07Surely,
17:09there is no voting center
17:11in the port.
17:13So there should be a voting center
17:15in all the major ports
17:17to extend the
17:19re-registration for the online voting.
17:21According to Komelek,
17:23the process of enrolling online
17:25is simple to vote using a gadget.
17:27The voting period
17:29for those abroad is also longer.
17:31From April 13 to May 12.
17:33We understand that
17:35our countrymen are working.
17:37Sometimes,
17:39they love their countrymen
17:41and it's true that they love their countrymen.
17:43But they need to earn
17:45on that day. They will vote for a month.
17:47There is no reason
17:49why they can't vote.
17:51In a resolution issued by Komelek,
17:53the dominant majority party
17:55is the Lakas CMD
17:57and the dominant minority party
17:59is the Lista Party.
18:01The parties are waiting for this announcement
18:03because the dominant majority and minority party
18:05will get their own copy
18:07of the election returns
18:09or ERs and certificates of canvas.
18:11They will also have their own server
18:13where they can monitor
18:15the results of the election.
18:17If the space in the canvassing
18:19or consolidation center
18:21is tight,
18:23their watchers are the priority.
18:25There are criteria that Komelek follows
18:27such as the number of members
18:29who are currently seated
18:31and the number of official candidates
18:33in the upcoming election.
18:35Komelek also released
18:37the major national parties
18:39who were given accreditation.
18:41They will also get a copy of the ERs
18:43and certificates of canvas.
