NewsTranscript
00:00We will be back here in the Commonwealth area near the Quezon City Memorial Circle.
00:20And right now, the Manibela group is doing their program.
00:24It was the first day that they stopped the program.
00:27Today, it is still a part of the PUV Modernization Program of the government.
00:35First of all, they are against what the LTFRB is saying,
00:39that 86% of the population is already consolidating.
00:43Because their number is only half of that, only 43%.
00:48And they are not saying that the majority,
00:51the majority of the PUV is already part of the modernization program of the government.
00:57According to the Manibela, aside from here in Quezon City,
01:00they also stopped in Novaliches, Manila, Paranaque, Las Pinas, Marikina, Pasig,
01:08Binangon, Rizal and now in Muntinlupa.
01:12Meanwhile, the three big transport groups, Pasang Mazda, Alto Dap, Acto,
01:17will conduct a support rally for the continuation of modernization.
01:23It will be conducted in front of the LTFRB office in Quezon City.
01:28Although Pasang Mazda said that they will not stop the program.
01:33DOTR Secretary Vince Dizon and MMDA Chairman Romando Artes
01:40will go to the command center to monitor the situation on different roads in Metro Manila.
01:46As of now, what we can see in our area is normal.
01:50The traffic is heavy towards the Quezon City Memorial Circle.
01:55We can see jeeps, UV, modern jeeps, taxis, and other types of transportation.
02:02And as of now, we can't see many stranded passengers.
02:07Meanwhile, let's talk about Manibela.
02:11Sir, good morning.
02:13You are?
02:14I'm Jonel.
02:15Jonel, I just have one question.
02:17What are we fighting for?
02:19This is not the first protest.
02:21Let's continue with Manibela.
02:22What is our message now?
02:24What are we fighting for?
02:25I just want to say that the LTFRB is very deceitful.
02:30In particular, Chope Lugwadis.
02:33Think about it.
02:35The data that is coming out,
02:38so that he can convince the government,
02:4186.5%.
02:43But when the new DOTR came in,
02:47Secretary Vince Dizon,
02:49he found out that only 43% of the total was consolidated.
02:53So that's a huge difference.
02:56Because of that 86%,
02:58we, the small driver operators,
03:01lost our jobs because the government allowed it.
03:04Especially President BBM.
03:06We left because we only had a few.
03:09What can you say to your fellow drivers
03:13who did not stop today,
03:16and also to the passengers who had a hard time getting here today?
03:19To my fellow drivers who are traveling,
03:23we understand them.
03:25Because some of them are really under the cooperative corporation.
03:30So they are just doing their job.
03:35To the passengers,
03:37we are sorry that you were affected by our stoppage.
03:41We really did not want this.
03:44This is the only way for us to show the government
03:48what we have done.
03:50Because we are not being noticed.
03:52There are still many more.
03:54But now we have a new DOTR.
03:57Are you ready to have a dialogue again?
03:59No problem.
04:00Chairman Marval Buena can have a dialogue.
04:03Chairman Marval Buena, no problem.
04:05Thank you very much.
04:08That was the statement of the Manibela group
04:11who are protesting here in Quezon City.
04:14Meanwhile, we will continue to hear the statement of the LTFRB.
04:20This morning, Manibela made a very good statement.
04:24That was the situation this morning.
04:27Here in the Commonwealth Avenue,
04:29near the Quezon City Memorial Circle,
04:31we are continuing to monitor the situation
04:34because of the stoppage of some transport flows.
04:38Let's go back to the studio.
04:42Also, because of the three-day stoppage of the Manibela group
04:45and other issues,
04:46we will listen to Atty. Ariel Inton,
04:48spokesperson of the Land Transportation,
04:50Franchising and Regulatory Board.
04:52Good morning.
04:54Good morning to you.
04:56Good morning to all our viewers.
04:58Let's listen to the reaction of the LTFRB
05:00to the statement of the driver,
05:02who is just Ivan's neighbor.
05:04The number of PUVs who have consolidated is rare.
05:07Chairman Guadis even lied about it.
05:10Okay. Maybe it's better if we clarify that percentage.
05:16The 86 percent that was mentioned,
05:21that's the 86 percent of the total number of units with franchise.
05:32Not only PUVs, other denominations,
05:36those are the ones who applied for consolidation.
05:42That's 86 percent.
05:45Now, out of the 86 percent,
05:4843 percent completed the process and are compliant for consolidation.
05:59To reconcile that and not to say that the agency lied,
06:0786 percent refers to the total number of applications
06:12that were filed for consolidation,
06:19those who intend to consolidate.
06:22That's why the figure of 43 percent of Secretary Vince Tizon,
06:2943 percent of the 86 percent are fully consolidated.
06:37Is this a long time before there's fully consolidation?
06:41That's the difference.
06:44You said that 86 percent are the ones who applied,
06:48but only 46 percent are compliant.
06:50What's their current situation?
06:52That's in process.
06:54There are many who haven't complied with the requirements.
06:59There are different reasons.
07:02They just reached the deadline.
07:04Yes. Because the deadline is not a deadline to have a new unit.
07:08The deadline, it was moved seven times,
07:12deadline to file your intent to consolidate or to apply for consolidation.
07:19Now, the 86 percent are the ones who applied.
07:24Tony, I will cut you off.
07:27Can our passengers serve the 46 percent?
07:33The 43 percent. That's a good question.
07:37The 86 percent, even though they're not fully compliant for consolidation,
07:45because they already have the program, they already have the provisional authority.
07:51If you see that their traditional jeepney is traveling,
07:56that might mean that they have consolidated, but they're not fully compliant.
08:02Therefore, they don't have a new unit because they haven't obtained one yet.
08:08But they can travel because they have a provisional authority to travel.
08:14Yes.
08:15Even though they're not fully compliant.
08:18On the question of whether the 43 percent is enough,
08:22it's not the 43 percent, but the 86 percent.
08:27Because even though they're not fully compliant,
08:30as long as they filed an intent to consolidate, they can travel.
08:35They can travel.
08:36Yes.
08:37But this jeepney has been out of service for a long time due to the modernization of the jeep.
08:41So how can the LTFRB and Manibela reach an agreement?
08:46We will have a meeting tomorrow.
08:49Our Secretary, Secretary Vince Pilson, is new.
08:53In fact, they're asking for a dialogue.
08:56The Secretary is very open.
08:59On Friday, he already talked to the... I think the Manibela was not there at that time.
09:09But the agency is extending to have a dialogue.
09:15As Secretary Vince said, instead of stopping the passada, let's have a dialogue.
09:21When it comes to a dialogue, they can't be the only ones to talk.
09:27Our Secretary also wants to hear the other side of the coin,
09:34those who are compliant and pro-consolidation.
09:37He also wants to talk to the Secretary to have a holistic approach to the problem.
09:43Yes. But as of now, how can we stop this? This is a three-day process, Atty. Inton.
09:47The agency is still extending.
09:50Let's have a dialogue.
09:53If they don't want to talk, for one reason or another, they will continue.
10:02As for the interagency for stopping the passada, it has been reactivated.
10:09That's why the government is ready to help the affected.
10:15So we have a free ride?
10:17Yes. The local government, DOTR, MMDA, interagency.
10:27Even PNP is there, peace and order, to prepare for the stoppage of the passada today and if they will continue for two more days.
10:38Thank you very much.
10:40LTFR Bismogs Peso Atty. Ariel Inton Jr.
10:43Take care.
10:44Thank you very much.
10:46And let's talk about the situation of the stoppage of the passada in Lungson, Manila.
10:50We have the first live report from James Agustin.
10:53James.
11:00Van, good morning.
11:01Some members of the Manibela group started to gather here in this part of New Panadero Street,
11:07Corner Castaneda Street in Santa Ana, Manila.
11:10This is still a part of their three-day stoppage of the passada that started today.
11:15According to the President of Punta Chapter of Manibela, Reynold Malana,
11:1880 members of the group will be competing for the stoppage of the passada in this area.
11:23That's equivalent to more than 60 passenger jeeps that did not travel to Punta Quiapo and Punta De Vizoria.
11:30On the other hand, Van, many jeeps are still traveling in the same route,
11:34including members of other groups.
11:36Earlier this morning, many passengers were driving.
11:39Some passengers said that they did not know that there is a stoppage of the passada today.
11:43They also said that they know, but they do not care because there are many possible vehicles.
11:50We do not care that there are no vehicles.
11:52Because for a long time, we have been driving.
11:56Just like now, there is a trip to De Vizoria.
12:00That's why we have many choices of vehicles.
12:05Of course, if there are no vehicles,
12:08that's it.
12:10If there are no vehicles, we will call the office.
12:19According to Van, members of Punta Chapter of Manibela
12:24will stay here until the afternoon.
12:27We can see that this is one of the areas where passengers are waiting for their vehicles.
12:35But there are no passengers at this time.
12:38That's the first news from Santa Ana, Manila.
12:40I am James Agustin for JEMA Integrated News.
12:44The price of chicken and eggs in some families in Metro Manila has increased.
12:48Before that, let's do a price check.
12:50Add to cart and drive to Manila.
12:52We have first news from Bea Pinlac.
12:55Bea.
12:57Igan, if your family's budget in the market is Php 500,
13:01maybe that's half of a kilo of chicken.
13:05According to the Department of Agriculture,
13:07the price of chicken is now Php 250 per kilo.
13:11And aside from chicken and eggs, the price is also increasing.
13:18What's first?
13:19Eggs or chicken?
13:21What's first?
13:22Eggs or chicken?
13:24If we talk about the price increase,
13:26the price of chicken and eggs in some families is now increasing.
13:31Mommy Miling, Edgar,
13:33asked for the weight of almost Php 300 in her pocket
13:36that she paid for more than a kilo of chicken.
13:39That's not enough for her family to eat today.
13:43You need to be practical.
13:45Sometimes, she just saves.
13:48Sometimes, she just saves.
13:51According to the Department of Agriculture,
13:54the price of chicken is now Php 250 per kilo in some families in Metro Manila.
14:00The price of eggs is also increasing.
14:03From Php 8 to Php 9 per medium-sized egg.
14:09In the labor market in Manila,
14:11the price of whole chicken is now Php 210
14:14and Php 220 for choice cuts.
14:17The price of each medium-sized egg is slowly increasing,
14:22but it's still Php 8.
14:25According to some egg and chicken sellers,
14:28they can't lower the price because they are the ones who will lose.
14:33We just go to the market.
14:37Sometimes, it's Php 200 and we don't grow anything yet.
14:41Sometimes, they give low prices.
14:45We just sell a little bit so that we don't incur losses.
14:52If you sell a lot and the price drops,
14:56you'll just get tired.
14:59Because when you count,
15:02sometimes, you don't have anything yet.
15:05You still have a lot to grow.
15:07The production is low.
15:09It's hard because there are only a few eggs.
15:14Sometimes, it breaks.
15:16You can't really lower the price.
15:19In the market in Manila,
15:21there are no chicken dishes on the menu.
15:24But they can't get rid of the eggs they sell,
15:28especially this is what their customers are looking for.
15:32No, we can't.
15:33Because they are the ones who are buying.
15:35We don't sell chicken anymore.
15:38We can't raise the price because the buyers can't afford it.
15:42We'll just lower the price.
15:49Igan, some of our viewers are thinking of new discounts.
15:53How will they be able to budget?
15:55Now, almost everyone in the market is raising the price.
16:00Here's the first news from Manila,
16:02Bea Pinlac for GMA Integrated News.
16:13Instead of 12 candidates,
16:14only 11 were mentioned by President Bongbong Marcos
16:16in his campaign for Senatorial Slave Kamakailan.
16:19He didn't mention his sister, Sen. Aimee Marcos,
16:22who is in the process of arresting former President Rodrigo Duterte.
16:26Here's the first news, Jonathan Andal.
16:31In the campaign rally of the Alliance for a New Philippine
16:34in Cavite and Laguna,
16:35both Sen. Aimee Marcos and Congresswoman Camille Villar were absent.
16:40At the same time,
16:41President Bongbong Marcos mentioned Villar in his speech,
16:44but not his sister, Sen. Aimee.
16:47There were 12 candidates in the Alliance's slate, but...
16:50And let's not make this an Alliance
16:54Only 11 people, 11 candidates,
16:57ran as Senators in the Alliance.
17:02We are trying to get the group's statement in accordance with the President's statement.
17:06Before this, Aimee and Villar allegedly arrested
17:10former President Rodrigo Duterte on March 11
17:13and submitted him to the Marcos Administration in the ICC.
17:17Both were absent from the Alliance's campaign rallies since then,
17:20including Satakloba on March 14.
17:23Sen. Aimee said she couldn't attend the gathering
17:27because she couldn't accept what the former President did.
17:30The senator's presidential sister,
17:32who is also an ally of Vice President Sara Duterte.
17:36The media asked the Alliance's campaign manager,
17:38Congressman Tobit Yanko,
17:40about the absence of the two in the rallies.
17:43Are there any plans to drop Sen. Aimee from the Alliance's lineup?
17:49And there are also speculations that
17:52Congressman Camille Villar will also be dropped from the slate.
17:57I think, like for Aimee,
17:59she should be the one to answer that question, not us.
18:03So far, the Alliance and the Nationalists
18:08have not talked about their future in the slate?
18:11None, none.
18:12Sen. Aimee said they haven't talked to the President and Yanko.
18:17I don't know, I don't know, I haven't asked yet.
18:19You have not withdrawn from the Alliance?
18:21No, no, no action taken.
18:23From the polls, I said I'm independent
18:26because I have a gut feeling that something bad will happen
18:32and I don't want to get involved in a fight.
18:35I'm afraid that the two sides will really clash.
18:38And it did happen.
18:40She says she's more confident now
18:42in hearing about the arrest of the former President.
18:44I'm worried, I'm very busy.
18:46It's hard to study international law.
18:48We're not that well-versed.
18:50Their system is different.
18:51And most importantly, let's not give up our sovereignty.
18:56GMA Integrated News texted Rep. Villar for his reaction
19:00and we are waiting for his response.
