NewsTranscript
00:00Because of the heavy rainfall on the motorists who were pushed by the damaged bridge in Marilao,
00:06which was called by the Department of Transportation to be led by the NLEX,
00:10do not pay attention to the affected part of the construction of the bridge.
00:16The latest on the traffic there, in the live coverage of Rafi Pima.
00:20Rafi.
00:25Vicky, the traffic is still slow here in the north and southbound lane of the NLEX
00:29and up to this time, the traffic is still slow.
00:33But according to the NLEX, there are some improvements.
00:36The number of people passing through the NLEX has decreased
00:39and they decided to follow their call to pass through alternative routes.
00:43But there are still a lot of people passing through the NLEX
00:47and maintaining the heavy traffic here on the expressway.
00:54From Impapawid, you can see the long line of vehicles on the NLEX northbound.
00:58It's just arriving in Valenzuela.
01:00The vehicles are already moving forward and there is no chance for them to stop even for a minute.
01:05They say that opening another line under the affected bridge is a big help.
01:09So from the two, the motorists can already pass through three lanes.
01:13The fourth is the zipper lane in the southbound of the NLEX.
01:16So there is a big improvement in the traffic flow.
01:19The tail end of the traffic on the northbound is here right after the smart connect interchange.
01:26It hasn't reached Balintawaktol Plaza yet.
01:29So previous days, I think it was around this time, it was already in Balintawaktol Plaza.
01:34At the moment, the people of the NLEX are preparing to return to Tulay.
01:38They have already placed scaffolding and removed the posters in Tulay.
01:42But even though the southbound lane is also affected by the heavy traffic flow,
01:46especially when the zipper lane is open,
01:48the heavy traffic flow reaches up to 5 kilometers.
01:51And because it's Friday, they expect that the traffic will become heavier tonight.
01:55Actually, our personnel are guiding them to exit our alternative routes.
02:02They don't want to. They prefer to stay inside.
02:07Because of the heavy traffic flow to the motorists,
02:10I am demanding from NLEX that while they are doing this,
02:15and our fellow countrymen are being harassed,
02:17for the area segment that is being harassed,
02:22please make it free for now.
02:24Our fellow countrymen should not pay for it.
02:27NLEX should also explain why they were hit by a truck
02:30that has a higher vertical clearance than the NLEX allows.
02:34According to NLEX, they are now working on a way to speed up the gathering
02:39and to find out why they were hit.
02:41As for making the free section of the NLEX free from the heavy traffic,
02:45they will announce on the coming days if they will stay here.
02:53Vicky, as of 7.12 p.m., this is the latest from the traffic operation center of NLEX.
02:59The traffic flow here in the northbound lane of the NLEX has decreased by 500 meters.
03:07Earlier, the traffic flow was 10 kilometers long
03:11until it reached the damaged Marilawa Interchange Bridge.
03:15Earlier, the tail end of the northbound lane was at the Smart Connect Interchange.
03:21As for the southbound lane or the directions to Manila,
03:24the traffic flow was still 5 kilometers long
03:27and the tail end of the traffic flow was at Bukawe Toll Plaza
03:32until it reached the damaged Marilawa Interchange Bridge.
03:36That was the latest from Marilawa.
03:38Vicky?
03:39Thank you very much, Rafi Tima.
03:45The second chance to change.
03:49That is the wish of some of the members of the Correctional Institution for Women
03:54who are praying for their freedom every day
03:58to start a new chapter in their lives.
04:02The Jemai Capuso Foundation witnessed their stories.
04:07That is why this Women's Month,
04:09we went there to deliver free medical services and other gifts.
04:20At the age of 13,
04:22an inmate, whose name we will call Linda,
04:25faced a severe trial.
04:28Aside from his parents' separation.
04:30I was raped by my father.
04:32I didn't want what happened to my father.
04:36I killed him.
04:37She became a struggle until the syndicates cut her off.
04:42Until one day, she forced me to do three things.
04:46To live, to die, or to die.
04:49I chose what I didn't want in order to live.
04:52Linda completely blames her past sins.
04:57And in the span of 29 years,
05:00she only has one wish.
05:02To see her mother, Daet Kamarines Norte.
05:06I really want to change my mother's life.
05:10I want to be free.
05:12Linda told us about her visit to the Jemai Capuso Foundation
05:16at the Correctional Institution for Women,
05:19where she was hospitalized.
05:20We performed a pap smear and breast examination
05:24on 100 women and gave them hygiene kits.
05:28Many of our patients here at the Correctional
05:32have abnormal uterine bleeding.
05:34They have UTIs and breast masks
05:38that we need to examine further.
05:41We also fulfilled their wish for a haircut,
05:45hairstyling, and basic makeup training
05:48that will help them start a new life
05:52once they are released.
05:54They will receive the proceeds.
05:57Once they are released, they will be able to use it.
05:59Despite their miserable past,
06:01their outlook on life remained positive.
06:05Let's not always be negative.
06:08If we become negative,
06:10we will not be able to handle all the trials.
06:13For those who want to join our projects,
06:16you can deposit to our bank accounts
06:19or send to Cebuana Loliere.
06:22You can also online via Jika, Shopee, Lazada, and Globe Rewards.
06:32Good evening, Kapuso.
06:33I am your brother, Kim,
06:34who will give you trivia behind the trending news.
06:37If a plant is planted, it will bear fruit.
06:39To ensure the protection of our plants and animals here in the Philippines,
06:43did you know that experts from UT Los Baños
06:46have impacted bengalitos in a vault in Europe?
06:53We can't help but feel the effects of climate change here in the Philippines.
06:59These typhoons are getting stronger.
07:01This is what matters.
07:03Even in the Philippines,
07:04the World Risk Index is on the rise for the next three years
07:08as the most disaster-prone country in the world.
07:10We will be put in danger.
07:11Many communities will be affected.
07:13And the effects of the continuous change of our climate
07:16will not only affect us humans,
07:17but also the plants that grow on our land.
07:20Our plants will also die.
07:21Many of our plants are disappearing.
07:24If it disappears, we will not be able to return it.
07:26So that some of our plants will not disappear,
07:29especially the food we eat.
07:33The National Plant Genetic Resources Laboratory, or NPGRL,
07:37of the Institute of Plant Breeding of the University of the Philippines Los Baños
07:40has come up with a way
07:41to deposit seeds or bengi in the Svalbard Global Seed Vault.
07:45The Svalbard Global Seed Vault is a facility located in Spitsbergen,
07:49a remote island in Norway.
07:50It serves as a seed bank for bengi.
07:53Here, they hide and care for duplicates or bengi of a plant
07:56to protect them from any natural disaster or calamity caused by humans.
08:00There are 127 depositors from 233 countries and territories
08:04that have impacted on duplicates.
08:06At present, there are 1.3 million seeds that are hidden or buried there.
08:12This February, Hidalisa went to Norway
08:14to deposit in the Svalbard Global Seed Vault
08:17the 14 boxes of NPGRL containing different kinds of bengi.
08:21My bengi is just a small box.
08:23It contains peanuts, tapilan or rice beans, sorghum, and eggplant.
08:28In October 2024,
08:30we were able to deposit tomatoes, chilies, paayap or kaupi, and string beans.
08:37We can withdraw our deposited bengi anytime we need it.
08:42This is our backup in case anything happens to our plants.
08:46But why is it so important for NPGRL
08:49to preserve our plants in the Philippines?
08:52We need different kinds of plants
08:55because in a large area, it's easy to be attacked by insects or pests.
09:00And if it's different, we have many kinds of food.
09:03That's why they continue their mission to preserve these plants.
09:06But do you have any idea how bengi can survive in a seed vault?
09:14The Svalbard Global Seed Vault can be found in a mountain in Spitsbergen, Norway.
09:19The temperature is very cold.
09:21It serves as a natural freezer for bengi.
09:24The bengi is stored in solid and sterilized containers.
09:27These containers are placed in a vault where the humidity is controlled.
09:32The temperature is maintained at negative 18 degrees Celsius.
09:36To watch the latest viral news,
09:39post or comment with the hashtag,
09:41Kuya Kim, Ano Na?
09:43Always remember, it's important to know.
09:45I'm Kuya Kim, and I'll answer you 24 hours a day.
09:49Their vlogger and social media personality became hot and emotional
09:54when they posted their questionable post online.
09:59Ian Cruz was affected.
10:04Ten social media personalities were affected
10:07by the so-called House Strike Committee
10:10that investigated fake news.
10:12Chrisette Loretta Chu was questioned about her statement on Facebook
10:16that there are police and military who will resign
10:18because of the arrest of former President Rodrigo Duterte.
10:21The PNP leader who attended the hearing was not present
10:24and the congressmen were not present.
10:27Loretta Chu admitted that she only got the information she posted on social media.
10:46Because if you read the entire post, it was to support the PNP.
10:51Chu also mentioned the post in December
10:53where she called the government stupid
10:56because of giving aid and loans.
10:59I'm asking you, where did you get this?
11:03You only got it from the news.
11:05You don't have a document.
11:07Sir, it's in the news.
11:08How can you say that the government is stupid?
11:10My goodness, you're going to base your statement
11:15that the government is stupid
11:17on the news you read, Mr. Chair?
11:19And then you're telling me you're a journalist?
11:21And you're telling me that you're speaking the truth?
11:24Mr. Chair, respectfully, those are my feelings.
11:28Because we gave the money to the ACTAP.
11:31Therefore, if that's your feeling, Mr. Chair,
11:33I demand that you apologize to this committee.
11:36I will apologize, Mr. Chair, for my bad words.
11:42I apologize for my bad words, sir.
11:44I apologize for saying the word stupid in my post.
11:48Mary Gino M.J. Quimbao-Reyes
11:50questioned her post
11:52that the victims of extrajudicial killings are big liars.
11:56But the judges confirmed that the victims of the killings
11:59and the Commission on Human Rights
12:01in the hearing of the Quad Committee
12:03are the ones who are responsible for the EJK.
12:05If you do not apologize right now, you listen.
12:08Yes, your honor.
12:09If you do not apologize,
12:11I am going to make a motion to hold you in contempt.
12:14I apologize, sir.
12:16And like what I said earlier,
12:19next time,
12:21we will look for undergrowth.
12:27And we will not rely on the news.
12:31That's fake news.
12:33That's what non-fake news means.
12:35I hope that next time,
12:37you bloggers,
12:39don't just give opinions and impressions.
12:43Give the truth.
12:44Comment on this.
12:45I am insulted.
12:47I am insulted with your statement.
12:49Again, my apologies, sir.
12:51The so-called criminal forces,
12:53we are with them.
12:55But you,
12:57think about it.
12:59This is difficult, Mr. Chair.
13:01These bloggers are different.
13:03They are stupid.
13:06The government is stupid.
13:09Think about it.
13:11I want to say this, Mr. Chair, publicly.
13:14You are stupid.
13:16That's why I cried.
13:18And I apologize.
13:23It's coming from the fact
13:25that I don't want to be contempted.
13:27I don't want to be detained.
13:29Because there are two of me
13:31who are in a critical condition,
13:33my mother and my mother-in-law.
13:35Philippine Coast Guard Spokesperson,
13:37Commodore J. Tariela,
13:39confronted the vlogger, Mark Lopez,
13:41who said in his post
13:43that he was taxied to the country
13:45and followed to America.
13:47This is a good example of how,
13:49like Mr. Lopez,
13:51is countering our factual narrative
13:53in the West Philippine Sea.
13:55And this is the reason why we need to counter
13:57fake news purveyor like Mr. Mark Lopez,
14:00spreading wrong information.
14:02What do you mean that the Philippines
14:04is using water cannon?
14:05Mr. Chair, I told you that the Philippines
14:07is using water cannon.
14:09You can use water cannon.
14:11No, you can't.
14:13You told me to use water cannon.
14:15Mr. Chair, okay.
14:17I will apologize.
14:19I'm wrong. I'm fake news.

17:17we've been through a lot.
17:19So now is the time
17:21that when we were adults,
17:23we were able to achieve our dreams.
