00:00Starting April 9, the provincial buses in EDSA will be allowed to pass through Piling Oras as part of the preparation for the arrival of travelers this Holy Week.
00:09Road re-blocking is also expected in some parts of EDSA.
00:13Watch this, Oscar Oida.
00:19As of the night of April 9, the provincial bus will be allowed to pass through some parts of EDSA.
00:26According to the MMDA, they will be allowed to pass through EDSA from 10 p.m. to 5 a.m.
00:33Now, it is expected that the arrival of travelers will start in the province for the Holy Week.
00:39But it is still prohibited to pass through EDSA.
00:41Meaning, the buses from the north to Cubao, their farthest destination,
00:48and the buses from the south to Pasay.
00:53From April 16, Merkules Santo, until April 20, Linggo ng Pagkabuhay,
00:58they will be allowed to pass through EDSA for 24 hours.
01:01But it is still prohibited to pass through EDSA from NLEX to SLEX.
01:05As for the bus terminals in EDSA, the MMDA will implement the Nose-in-Nose-out policy
01:12for continuous travel.
01:14It is prohibited to drive on the road.
01:17Because you know, if you drive even for 1 or 2 minutes,
01:21the effect of that on traffic is that it gets longer.
01:26As for private vehicles, the number coding scheme in Hueves Santo and Viernes Santo is suspended.
01:33The MMDA will also place tow trucks, ambulances, and others,
01:37in case of an accident on the road.
01:40Six portable CCTV cameras will be deployed to assist in monitoring,
01:46as well as more than 2,000 MMDA personnel.
01:50The MMDA will implement the No-Day-Off-No-Absent policy
01:54for their people from April 16 until 21.
01:59At that time, it is expected that there will be road re-blocking in some parts of EDSA.
02:04We will allow a lot of construction on our roads,
02:10particularly road re-blocking for 24 hours.
02:14It will start on April 16 until April 21 at 5 a.m.
02:20But by April 21, which is a Monday, at 5 a.m.,
02:25the roads will be clean and accessible.
02:29As for MRT-3 vehicles,
02:31the train will not travel from Hueves Santo until Sunday for maintenance activities.
02:39Operating hours are extended from Wednesday to Sunday.
02:43The last trip is at 10.30 p.m. from North Avenue,
02:46while the last trip is at 11.09 p.m. from Taft Station.
02:50The Department of Transportation suspended the prohibition of MRT-3 vehicles
02:54for vehicles that exceed 2 feet by 2 feet in size.
02:58The police carried out the prohibition
03:00because it occupies a large space in the wagon.
03:03But it was questioned and reviewed by Transportation Secretary Vince Dizon
03:08after the police investigated it online.
03:11There are commuters from the province.
03:14Of course, it's a big load.
03:16How can a person commute easily if they limit it?
03:21That's why they put MRT as number one.
03:23They want to be able to commute easily because the trip is only a few minutes.
03:27For GMA Integrated News, I am Oscar Oidang, your witness.
03:3314 women were arrested by the authorities
03:36for driving on the road and 8 of them are minors.
03:40Witness, John Consuta, Exclusive.
03:44In the absence of yesterday's operation,
03:47the NBI Rizal District Office
03:50took the actual amount of money of two Umanoy Bugao.
03:53Next, they were arrested.
04:0014 women were arrested by the suspects.
04:03Some of them were still in a taxi while others were in a motel room.
04:088 of them are minors.
04:11According to the NBI Rizal,
04:13the transaction of the suspects to the parroquians was done online.
04:16The perpetrators also have a GC group chat.
04:22That's where they can transact.
04:24They send pictures of women for prostitution.
04:34They met in a cafe or restaurant adjacent to the motel.
04:40That's where they will check in.
04:44The victims were from Caloocan and Binangon ng Rizal.
04:49We discovered that one of the victims that we rescued
04:55was also the one we rescued during our previous operation.
05:00So, we went back to our previous job.
05:04Two more suspects were found in the complaint of Qualified Trafficking
05:07where they were fined P2,000,000 to P5,000,000.
05:10They were sentenced to life imprisonment.
05:12I just need to be punished.
05:14But I know that it's wrong.
05:16It's too much of a sin.
05:18If I'm released, I won't go back to this.
05:23I really don't know.
05:26That's how it will happen, sir.
05:28I really don't know anything, sir.
05:30According to the NBI,
05:31the victims will be under counseling
05:33so that they won't go back to this type of work.
05:36For the GMA Integrated News,
05:38John Consulta is your eyewitness.
05:42We learned that a construction worker fell
05:46from a house in Caloocan.
05:48Eyewitness, Jomar Apresto, exclusive.
05:55You might fall. Relax, don't move.
05:57This man was lying on the roof of a house in Barangay 36 in Caloocan City.
06:04The man was electrocuted.
06:07According to the admin of Barangay,
06:09who was the first responder,
06:10they heard an explosion from a transformer yesterday morning.
06:15Later, some residents shouted
06:17that there was a construction worker who fell from the roof.
06:21It's possible that the 23-year-old victim
06:23got up from the high-tension wire
06:25which is almost next to their house.
06:28I saw him on the roof.
06:32He tried to stand up.
06:33I tried to talk to him.
06:35I tried to avoid him
06:36because he might fall from the roof.
06:39He was trying to measure.
06:41Maybe he tried to reach the roof.
06:43He tried to reach the other side of the house.
06:46He tried to reach the fourth floor.
06:48He fell from the second floor.
06:50People in the area helped
06:52to get the victim out of the roof.
06:54It took more than 20 minutes
06:57before DRRMD arrived
06:59where they used a spine board
07:01to get the victim out of the house
07:02and take him to the ambulance.
07:04The news was critical.
07:06The last news I heard was okay.
07:09According to the barangay,
07:10the owner of the house
07:12was ready to pay the cost of the victim in the hospital.
07:16However,
07:17there was no building permit
07:19for the construction of the house.
07:21Some residents complained about this
07:23because debris was falling from the roof.
07:27We gave the barangay a building permit
07:29but he refused to get it.
07:30He said he will get it
07:31so that he can at least get the mayor's permit.
07:34That's what we talked about.
07:35It's like he's trying to deceive us.
07:37We don't know what he's doing.
07:40He's doing it every night.
07:42We tried to contact the owner of the house
07:45but no one answered.
07:47I reminded the construction workers
07:49that there should be conductor covers
07:52on the power lines
07:54near the houses.
07:56There should be a distance
07:58of 10 feet from the power lines.
08:02For GMA Integrated News,
08:04I'm Jomer Apresto.
08:06Saksi!
08:08Eight police officers were removed
08:10after they stole 27 million pesos
08:14from their operation in Las Piñas.
08:17The team leader hit them in the middle.
08:20They were hit by their target.
08:23Saksi!
08:24This is Marisol Abdurrahman, exclusive.
08:29It's a lot of money
08:31but there are two explanations.
08:33Eight police officers said
08:34that the members of the Special Operations Unit
08:36of the Eastern Police District
08:38were the ones who sold them
08:40the Chinese-operated Las Piñas
08:42that was wanted
08:43in the case of illegal possession of firearms.
08:45That's why they took it as evidence.
08:48But the director of the Eastern Police District
08:50has a different opinion.
08:52That's why the police are being compensated
08:54for the money that reached 12 million pesos.
08:56They stole a lot of items
08:59that were missing,
09:01that were allegedly missing,
09:03and even money.
09:06The brother of the Chinese operator said
09:08that his brother was not in the warrant.
09:10He was beaten by the police
09:12but he was in civilian clothes.
09:14The police came inside to arrest my brother
09:17and then they just bring the arrest warrant letter
09:20and my brother is a totally different person.
09:22He's not the same person.
09:24The police also disturbed the CCTV
09:26and opened the vault.
09:28They took the 27 million pesos cash
09:31plus the recoveries from the police.
09:33The unconfirmed value of foreign currencies,
09:37gold bar, and expensive watches and watches
09:39were also not touched.
09:40According to the EPD,
09:42eight police officers were arrested.
09:44Were they able to arrest the subject person?
09:49Actually, ma'am,
09:51the subject person was arrested.
09:54The EPD is preparing
09:55for the administrative and criminal charges,
09:57particularly the robbery extortion
09:59against the police officers.
10:01All of their associates in their unit
10:03are also under investigation
10:05as well as those who are also involved.
10:07They were not able to coordinate in Las Piñas.
10:11They don't have a body camera
10:14and they also don't have an ARD.
10:18When they conducted the execution
10:23of the warrant of arrest.
10:26When I was able to talk to the accused,
10:28their team leader spoke.
10:30He also denied the allegation.
10:33It's all wrong, ma'am.
10:34It's not true, ma'am.
10:36It's really true, ma'am.
10:37We caught the person in the warrant, ma'am.
10:39Now, they gave us money, ma'am.
10:41I didn't agree, ma'am.
10:43Because I want to leave him.
10:44Do you have anything to say?
10:45Ma'am, I can't answer that, ma'am.
10:48The 8 police officers of the DSOU
10:50were disarmed and put under
10:52restrictive custody
10:54along with their chief
10:56while the incident is being investigated.
10:59I cannot tolerate this kind of actuation.
11:03It's infuriating.
11:05For GMA Integrated News,
11:07I am Marisol Abdurrahman,
11:10your witness.
11:11Sexy!
11:13Inflation or the price of products and services in the country
11:16has gone down since March.
11:18The inflation rate was 2.1% in February.
11:21It went down to 1.8% in March.
11:24It is also lower than the 3.7% inflation rate in March 2024.
11:29According to the Philippine Statistics Authority,
11:31the reason for the slow inflation
11:33is the slow price of food and non-alcoholic beverages.
11:37The Philippine cameraman and the acclaimed Russian vlogger
11:41who is being followed by Filipinos for the content
11:44can also be held accountable according to him.
11:47President Bongbong Marcos has also arrived
11:49to the vloggers
11:51and has been ordered to hold him accountable.
11:54At the same time, he reminded Palacio
11:56that although tourism is welcome in the country,
11:58it should still follow the law
12:00of those who make online content.
12:03The price of gasoline and diesel is high

12:12may rise up to 70 cents,
12:14while the price of diesel is up to 60 cents.
12:18The price of kerosene may not change

12:27reciprocal tariffs on its trading partners.
12:31For GMA News,
12:32Ivan Mejrina is your witness.
12:36President Bongbong Marcos was surprised
12:38that PhilHealth lost its fund
12:40to help those who are sick.
12:42He said this in an interview
12:44with Antipolo earlier.
12:46Instead of decreasing,
12:48PhilHealth's services are expanding
12:51in the past year.
12:53The President said this
12:55amid legal challenges
12:57as well as issues in PhilHealth's fund.
12:59The Supreme Court is just finishing
13:01the oral arguments,
13:04questioning the constitutionality

13:42The Philippine Consulate General in Guangzhou
13:44is providing all necessary assistance
13:47including appropriate legal support
13:49for the said Filipinos.
13:51The arrest of the three Filipinos
13:53was announced by the Chinese Foreign Ministry
13:55yesterday in a press briefing.
13:57China did not name the Filipinos arrested,
14:00but they said they were espionage.
14:04It was reported in various Chinese media
14:06that one of the Filipinos arrested
14:08was seen near a military facility in China.
14:13It was also reported in Chinese media
14:15that in a press conference,
14:17the three admitted to espionage
14:19and said they are to blame for their actions.
14:23The GMA Integrated News is looking for a way
14:25to get hold of the three.
14:28The DFA did not name the three Filipinos.
14:48The Philippines-China Consular Agreement
14:50was signed by China and the Philippines
14:52in Hong Kong in 2009
14:54where it was agreed that a Filipino
14:56who is involved in any legal problem in China

15:50In addition,
15:51there is no Filipino lawyer in the defense team.
15:54Former Presidential Spokesman Harry Roque
15:57is not included in the team
15:59because he is applying for asylum in the Netherlands
16:01and he is not fit for the job
16:03facing the ICC.
16:06The formal announcement
16:07for the defense team
16:08may be released on Monday.

17:00These kinds of trials for me,
17:03this is what gives me the gasoline
17:05to work harder.
17:07It's a matter of how you will bounce back

17:31So let's wait and see who they are.
17:34And the next episodes

20:12Cute,
20:14huggable,
20:16and stress-relieving.
20:18That's just a few
20:20in the usual portrayal of fur parents

20:24That's why it's not surprising
20:26that based on a study

20:30many Filipinos prefer
20:32to have fur babies
20:34than to have children,
20:36especially those who want
20:38to be financially stable.
20:40Fur babies,
20:42like this cat,
20:44love to hide in a carton.
20:48This one can't be seen
20:50for a long time.

21:34were reassigned to a temporary shelter
21:36for comfort and emotional support.
21:40The children
21:42really love cute and fluffy dogs.
21:44But for the other
21:46missing children,
21:48not only hugs and happiness
21:50are given by the animals
21:52because their presence
