00:00 [Gunshots]
00:02 [Whistle]
00:04 [Gunshots]
00:06 Join us in our journey to the city.
00:08 [Music]
00:12 The so-called "Cha-Cha" or Charter Change has already joined the plenary in front of the camera.
00:16 It is assured that it will not change the law at any last minute.
00:21 It will only amend the economic provisions to open public utilities, education and advertising to the industries.
00:32 The target is to pass the Resolution of Boathouses No. 7 or RBH 7 before the Congress holiday break next week.
00:40 It is the counterpart of the Senate Resolution of Boathouses No. 6 which is still at the committee level.
00:47 Four senators have already said their opinion on this.
00:51 President Bongbong Marcos is now traveling to Central Europe.
00:57 He will first go to Germany for his working visit and then he will go to the Czech Republic for his state visit.
01:03 In his pre-departure speech, the President also gave his approval on the labor cooperation between Germany and the Czech Republic
01:09 as well as on the priority of protecting the rights of the Filipino workers.
01:14 The President also wanted to use this opportunity to discuss security.
01:19 Senator Robin Padilla is indignant that the Senate is not listening to Pastor Apollo Quiboloy.
01:28 In a privileged speech earlier, Padilla said that the DOJ has its own investigation on allegations against the pastor.
01:36 Padilla is one of the four who signed the contempt order against Quiboloy.
01:41 Meanwhile, the Senate Committee on Women, Children, Family Relations and Gender Equality Chair, Visa Ontiveros,
01:48 said that the contempt order against Quiboloy is based on the Senate's decision
01:55 after it did not meet twice on the invitation of the committee.
02:00 The President is in the ruling of the Supreme Court and even in the previous hearings of the committees,
02:12 including the Senate Luribon Committee here in the Senate,
02:16 which continued even though there are already cases in the court.
02:22 The accusation against the pastor is already in the court of justice,
02:29 which they are filing in the Supreme Court.
02:35 We will not have a trial because it is already in the hands of the judiciary.
02:47 Pastor Apollo Quiboloy has issued a statement that he will not face Congress because the fight is not fair.
02:54 He also challenged the lawmakers of the debate, but on one condition.
02:59 Ma'am Gonzalez witnessed it.
03:01 When the letter was sent to the Kingdom of Jesus Christ founder, Pastor Apollo Quiboloy,
03:06 he said that he will not finish listening to the camera tomorrow.
03:09 This is the result of the investigation of the House Committee on Legislative Franchises in violation of the franchise of the TV network SMNI,
03:17 where Quiboloy is the honorary chairman.
03:19 According to Deputy Speaker and Quezon Representative J.J. Suarez,
03:23 Quiboloy's visit to the hearing is important because they believe that it will help in the committee's decision.
03:29 You know, this SMNI, whenever they appear, they always emphasize the truth and the right.
03:35 So if the truth is right, then you should come here and share what your plan is.
03:45 Why are you afraid? Why are you hiding?
03:50 In front of former President Rodrigo Duterte and some vloggers last night,
03:54 Quiboloy said that he will not face Congress where the fight is not fair
03:59 because he can be contempted and jailed by the lawmakers.
04:02 Quiboloy's challenge to the lawmakers is that they will debate any issue but outside of Congress.
04:08 For now, Quiboloy was contempted and arrested by the Senate Committee on Women and Children
04:13 because of the repeated slander of Quiboloy in the hearing.
04:17 But Senate President Mig Subirin allowed the senators to hear the hearing the next day,
04:21 which also reversed the situation by spreading eight signatures.
04:25 For now, only four have signed.
04:27 For GMA Integrated News, I'm Mav Gonzalez, your newswoman.
04:32 Tomorrow, Ramadan will begin for Muslims in different parts of the Philippines.
04:37 At the same time, there will be protests in other parts of the world,
04:41 including Gaza, where more than 31,000 people have been killed in the war.
04:45 Let's watch.
04:47 There are fireworks, lights, and sound systems.
04:53 At first glance, it looks like there is no war around them.
04:56 But this video was taken on Saturday in tents in Rafa, Gaza,
05:01 where several residents fled because of the Israel and Hamas' five-month-long strike.
05:06 The next day, one was killed and three were injured
05:11 after an Israeli airstrike hit a car in Rafa.
05:15 Ten were killed in artillery shelling at a tent camp in Can Yunis.
05:20 In this video from the Palestinian Civil Defense,
05:23 we see a man rescued from a man-trapped in a house where he was shot.
05:29 More than 31,000 people were killed since the Israeli offensive began
05:34 that was a result of the attack of Hamas,
05:37 which killed more than 1,000 people in Israel on October 7.
05:41 If not for the bomb, the lives of many Gaza residents would have been lost.
05:46 23 children were killed due to malnutrition and dehydration,
05:50 according to the Gaza Health Ministry.
05:52 We want to express a special message of solidarity and support
05:55 to all those suffering from the horrors of Gaza.
05:59 In these trying times, the spirit of Ramadan is a beacon of hope,
06:04 a reminder of our shared humanity.
06:06 According to reports, famine or starvation is possible in Gaza
06:11 due to the air that is being blown by several countries
06:15 such as America, Jordan, France, Belgium, UAE, and Egypt.
06:22 The US Navy has also sent supplies to build a pier for humanitarian assistance.
06:29 US President Joe Biden warned Israel not to launch a major offensive on Rafa in Gaza
06:36 until there is a planned mass evacuation for civilians.
06:40 But Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu insisted on a meeting
06:45 that Rafa should be blamed for the attack on Hamas.
06:48 If the offensive is stopped, Hamas will be allowed to recover.
06:52 In the Red Sea, the United Kingdom sent drones of the Guthi group from Yemen.
06:58 Before this, the group announced that it was targeting a US bulk carrier
07:03 and US warships in the region,
07:05 which is still a part of their sympathy to the Palestinians in the middle of the Gaza war.
07:11 One of the missiles hit was a Huthi-like ship called True Confidence in the Gulf of Aden,
07:16 where two Filipinos were injured.
07:19 Their ship is still not recovering.
07:21 According to the Department of Migrant Workers, the ship is being towed to Oman.
07:25 Tomorrow, 11 Filipinos will return to the Philippines with them.
07:29 Two Filipinos are still in the hospital,
07:32 but the situation is stable and they will return home on time with a certified fit to travel.
07:36 The government has given $1,000 as financial assistance.
07:40 There will be additional financial assistance when they arrive here from Oman, right?
07:45 DMW Oman.
07:46 For GMA Integrated News, Darlene Cai, your Saksi.
07:50 The current situation is balanced.
07:54 A SUV collided hard with a North Camarines.
07:58 A bus driver was also trapped in a truck in North Camarines.
08:03 Our Saksi.
08:05 The rescue operation for the driver who was trapped in the passenger bus he was driving
08:13 after it collided with a parked truck in North Camarines
08:17 took almost three hours before the driver was able to get out.
08:21 The driver was brought immediately and the passenger was injured in the hospital.
08:25 Authorities are also investigating the owner of the truck
08:28 who was parked in the area for several days after it was damaged.
08:31 The bus company responded to the victims' medical treatment.
08:34 The police are also waiting for the victims to file a case.
08:38 The SUV collided with an old post in North Camarines.
08:43 The post was severed and fell due to the impact.
08:47 The driver was saved.
08:49 The motorcycle and car collided with a national road in Batangas City.
08:54 The impact caused the driver to fall.
08:57 The car hit a line and there was a possibility that it could have been cut.
09:05 That's why it swerved to the opposite lane.
09:08 They ran fast because if you can see,
09:12 the motorcycle after the collision returned to its original position.
09:19 The driver was rushed to the hospital but he was declared dead on arrival.
09:23 The driver was also injured.
09:25 GMA Regional TV reported that the southern Tagalog
09:29 has been able to get the names of the driver and the rider
09:32 but the two sides have already talked.
09:35 In the CCTV footage, a motorcycle collided with a roadside road.
09:40 The 16-year-old rider who died in the accident was on the road.
09:45 According to the investigation, the victim overtook the tricycle
09:48 and when it collided, he lost control and hit the post.
09:52 For GMA Integrated News, I'm Dana Tincunco, your Saksi.
09:56 The MNBA is now trying to implement rules and regulations
10:02 for the ban of tricycles, e-trike and e-bike on national roads in Metro Manila.
10:07 It will be implemented starting April 15.
10:10 Saksi, by Joseph Moro.
10:12 The city of Quezon City is implementing its bike lane program.
10:20 We don't have that.
10:22 Do we have an objection to this?
10:24 But it's included in the list.
10:26 You're forcing the EDSA to close a road.
10:32 Imagine how tight the EDSA is.
10:36 Before the consultation of the Metro Manila Development Authority or MMDA,
10:41 the ban of e-trike, e-bike and tricycles on national roads was already implemented.
10:46 MMDA is now encouraging implementing rules and regulations or IRRs for the ban.
10:52 But the group of commuters asked not to implement it yet.
10:57 Aside from the recent consultation on the ban,
10:59 the ban is being violated by the Electric Vehicle Industry Development Act or EDALU
11:04 which promotes the use of e-vehicles.
11:07 It's really resisting the shift that our current development plans and policies are aiming to see.
11:13 Why are e-bikes and e-trikes being used and said to be unsafe?
11:19 According to MMDA, e-bikes are being used in accidents.
11:23 The number of e-bikes in 2019 is tripling compared to the number of e-bikes in the past year.
11:27 But the group says that there are still more vehicles.
11:31 They're definitely not as dangerous as MMDA is claiming.
11:35 If you compare it really to the amount of road crashes that are attributed to private four-wheeled cars,
11:42 it's so much more.
11:43 The MMDA is continuing the ban on April 15.
11:46 The resolution of the Department of Interior and Local Government or DILG
11:52 that tricycles are not allowed on national roads is being implemented.
11:55 It's also being passed in the entire Metro Manila.
11:58 They're not being prohibited to go out.
12:02 It's just that there are certain roads that are not really allowed.
12:08 Imagine that they're only allowed to run for a maximum of 25 kilometers per hour.
12:12 They're running 60-80 kilometers per hour.
12:14 What if they're not noticed?
12:16 If the ban on light electric vehicles like e-trikes and e-bikes is implemented on April 15,
12:23 anyone who is caught on national roads will be fined P2,500.
12:29 Your vehicles can also be towed or impounded.
12:33 But some e-bike enthusiasts are asking, what about national roads that have bike lanes like EDSA?
12:40 It should be treated the same.
12:42 Pedal-assist bicycles only have technology.
12:44 I hope they can issue a follow-up statement or clarification that is well categorized.
12:51 The e-bikes that are allowed on the bike lane should still be classified as bicicleta, meaning pedal-assist.
12:59 MMDA also considers the requests of the group in the IRR.
13:05 We can't do anything about that. It's a government policy.
13:08 We need to follow it.
13:10 Avoid the prohibited roads.
13:14 I will still use the minor roads.
13:17 Let's not pay. That's a problem.
13:19 For GMA Integrated News, I'm Joseph Morong, your witness.
13:25 The Vatican has given permission to consider a woman from Ilocos Norte as a saint.
13:31 The Dicastery for the Causes of Saints allowed the investigation of the Diocese of Lawag
13:36 in the reputation and holiness of Nina Ruiz Abad.
13:41 She was depicted as having a great devotion to the Eucharist while still alive.
13:46 Nina was 13 years old when she died of cardiac disease.
13:51 The process for her beatification and canonization will start in April.
13:56 The bags and tools used by the farmers to make a bouhawi were transferred to the Alcala, Pangasinan.
14:04 The bouhawi quickly changed direction.
14:07 It was not left unattended.
14:10 According to the hope, if the time is right, the bouhawi will be completed due to circulation, especially in open space.
14:19 The ingredients for the production of cocaine were found in San Policarpio, Eastern Samar.
14:25 According to the police, a fisherman saw the drug on February 8.
14:30 On Friday in Artecha, Eastern Samar, 20 blocks of cocaine were found that were loaded into the sea.
14:38 Its value is more than 132 million pesos.
14:43 The PNP suspected that it came from South America and that the Philippines is making transshipment point.
14:50 Agriculture Secretary Francisco T. Laurel Jr.
14:54 He again took his position as the NFA Administrator.
14:57 He was the one who suspended the two executives in the NFA,
15:02 including the Chairperson of the NFA-OIC, who is involved in the investigation of the sale of rice buffer stock.
15:09 The DA, the Camera, and the Senate Blue Ribbon Committee are investigating the alleged sale of unsold rice buffer stock worth 8 million bags since 2019.
15:21 Mira System and Comelec signed a contract for the full automation system with transparency audit count or FastTrack for the 2025 elections.
15:32 It was also sponsored by Korean Ambassador to the Philippines Lee Sang-hwa.
15:39 The contract includes the rental of automated counting machines,
15:41 as well as the ballot box, ballot paper, ballot printing, and others.
15:46 Next, Comelec will issue a notice to proceed for the production of machines in South Korea.
15:53 But some still continue to question the credibility of Miru.
15:57 According to Deputy Minority Leader and Teachers' Party's Representative, Franz Castro,
16:03 the fraud of Miru machines in the past elections in Congo and Iraq poses a risk to the election system in the Philippines.
16:12 Miru replied that they have already shown the performance of their machines in the so-called "nation".
16:20 For GMA Integrated News, Sandra Aguinaldo, your witness.
16:26 Prince Hwang So and He Su reunited in the hit Korean drama "Scarlet Heart".
16:32 But not for the new series, but for IU's concert where He Su was the host.
16:38 In Lee Joong-gi's IG post where he was the host, he shared his backstage pics of IU.
16:47 Some fans continued, "Season 2, when?"
16:51 A special guest performed at the concert was Park Bogum, who was a guest in IU's upcoming series.
16:58 IU was there when she went to the Philippines for her world tour.
17:03 Local artists in Antipolo, Rizal were also there.
17:08 Their works were displayed at Pistang Sini.
17:11 It was also found at the Florist Garden, a swanky wedding venue.
17:15 The art fair was also there where local artists and artisans of the city were invited.
17:21 Visual arts by Antipolo Group Inc., Bayong Bags, and sustainable and organic products were displayed here.
17:28 A photographer also used the street box camera.
17:32 Antipolo City LGU also promoted their city as a wedding destination.
17:38 That's why their venue is Florist Garden in Pistang Sini.
17:44 All of the OPM hits played by the Antipolo City Band were also enjoyed.
17:49 Thank you, Igan, for your testimony.
17:54 I'm Arnold Glavio.
17:55 I'm PR Kanghel for a bigger mission and a wider service to the country.
