00:00 50 police officers were removed from their positions
00:03 while the preventive suspension was lifted by Mayor Alice Guo.
00:06 Guo's camp will now undergo a few motions to restore the order against the mayor.
00:11 Jasmine Gabriel Galvan of GMA Regional TV, One North Central Luzon, was there.
00:17 The police officers who are now crossing the Tarlac River
00:23 came from the Tarlac Provincial Police Office
00:26 in exchange for the 48 police officers who were removed from their positions
00:31 while the preventive suspension order was lifted by Mayor Alice Guo and two other department heads.
00:37 The order was effective yesterday from the PNP National Headquarters.
00:41 The police officers were transferred to the Central Luzon Police Regional Office.
00:46 The reason for the replacement is to ensure transparency and accountability.
00:52 At the same time, we want to maintain integrity and proper surveillance of the police
00:59 and the public trust in the police.
01:03 The municipal transactions are ongoing
01:06 even though some employees and supporters of the suspension of their mayor are affected.
01:11 What's happening is very sad.
01:13 We are all saddened by the decisions and the spread of the news.
01:19 We don't know what's happening so we are saddened.
01:25 Prove that they are just talking nonsense.
01:28 People are suffering.
01:30 The motion for reconsideration with motion to lift was approved by Mayor Guo,
01:35 who believes that there is no violation in issuing a business permit in Hongsheng, Bamban.
01:40 As long as the permitting and granting of the mayor's permit is compliant,
01:46 there is nothing illegal in that. If you don't issue a mayor's permit,
01:50 the mayor will be charged under the religion of duty.
01:54 What will he do? The applicant is qualified.
01:59 Officer Edwin Ocampo refused to grant the business permit and licensing.
02:03 Meanwhile, we are in constant contact with Bamban Legal Officer Attorney Aden Sigua.
02:08 Both of their partners were suspended because of the same issue.
02:12 The activities that were scheduled for the celebration of Bamban Day,
02:17 which is scheduled for June 6,
02:19 were continued from GMA Regional TV 1 North Central Luzon
02:22 and GMA Integrated News.
02:24 Jasmine Gabriel Galvan was on the air for 24 hours.
02:28 The lawyer of Bamban Mayor Alice Guo, who is a Pagcor,
02:34 who has authority in Pogo operations,
02:36 was shocked when she was asked why the Interior Department
02:40 was not informed about the criminal complaints.
02:42 Pagcor has no knowledge about the issue of local business permit and license.
02:46 They are also not responsible for inspecting houses that are not under their jurisdiction.
02:52 In the case of the compound raided in Bamban this March,
02:55 Pagcor said that Zun Yuan Technologies Inc. is responsible.
02:59 The provisional license was issued in October 2023.
03:04 Pagcor has no access to the remaining 8 hectares of compound
03:08 and almost 40 other houses there,
03:11 most of which are closed and not accessible to the public.
03:14 Because of that, they were not able to monitor the activities there.
03:19 A new program for the Filipinos to have a house is announced
03:24 as long as they have a job and are paying their salaries.
03:27 But what if the government's decision to execute Tina Pangiliban Perez
03:31 cannot be paid?
03:36 The dream of many Filipinos to have their own house
03:40 is often hindered by high taxes.
03:43 But in 4PH or Pambansang Pabahay for Filipinos,
03:47 anyone who pays their salary can now have a house.
03:51 The buildings in San Mateo Resal are included in the program
03:55 that was inspected by House Speaker Martin Romualdez
03:59 along with several congressmen,
04:01 officials in the Executive and local governments of San Mateo.
04:05 The Department of Housing, Settlement and Urban Development,
04:09 or DSUD, and San Mateo LGU will partner in the project.
04:12 There are also other buildings being built in other places in the country.
04:16 To be a beneficiary,
04:18 it is necessary to coordinate with the LGU and say the name and the job.
04:23 Even informal settler families or ISF can join.
04:27 This is a mix. As long as there is work, there is a house.
04:31 Especially for ISF, those who have no house,
04:35 we know that they have no hope of having a house.
04:39 They are the number one beneficiaries here.
04:41 This program is for everyone, for the poor.
04:46 So it means everyone is qualified,
04:50 as long as there is work. Because you have to pay.
04:53 The house is not free.
04:55 The beneficiary will pay through a loan from the bank.
05:00 What if the income is not enough?
05:03 DSUD asked the Congress to pay through a loan.
05:08 What did the government do?
05:10 They added the payment to make it affordable.
05:13 The monthly amortization will be lowered.
05:15 If the monthly amortization is lowered, the poor can pay.
05:19 DSUD asked the Congress for 10 billion pesos,
05:22 enough for 100,000 housing units.
05:25 We shall prioritize this so that the housing program of our president
05:31 can be supported here in the Legacy Housing Project.
05:33 We think that the 10 billion interest subsidy,
05:38 we can set that aside for this particular priority program.
05:43 So that the program can continue,
05:46 even if the administration changes,
05:48 DSUD wants a law for this.
05:51 For GMA Integrated News, Tina Panganiban Perez,
05:55 for Tutok, 24 hours.
05:58 True Love wins this Pride Month
06:04 with the inspirational story of True Faith vocalist, Medwin Marfil.
06:08 Their love story is about their partner, Nelson Canlas.
06:16 In the early 90s, True Faith is one of the iconic OPM bands.
06:21 Their songs never changed.
06:25 But the lyrics of the song "Perfect",
06:32 "The change of season will leave you no clues"
06:36 are different now.
06:39 Many people are clueless about the love life of the vocalist, Medwin Marfil.
06:44 Until his recent announcement that he's married to his high school batchmate,
06:50 Mark Angeles, this May.
06:52 And they opened up more in the emotional interview
06:56 of the "Updated with Nelson Canlas" podcast.
06:59 Maybe me coming out would enlighten people,
07:03 would be help and would make them understand.
07:06 When Mark and I became a couple,
07:07 maybe it's time that I come out and be proud of myself.
07:13 Married in the US, but at first,
07:16 they were just LDRs,
07:18 who became close during this pandemic.
07:21 And when Medwin went to San Francisco to find himself,
07:25 he found out that he went home to get married.
07:30 He sacrificed this for the whole band.
07:33 I told the guys, you know, this is just temporary.
07:36 As soon as everything is in place, we'll go back.
07:40 Why did you even get married?
07:43 Because it's not allowed.
07:45 If you take that to the Philippines,
07:46 they don't really honor that.
07:48 To solidify.
07:50 Formalizing your commitment.
07:53 We just felt that if it's something that straight couples want to do,
08:00 then we can do it.
08:02 Why not?
08:03 But it's not easy.
08:06 Because in the fanzine, there's really a culture of machismo.
08:12 But he believes that the time has changed.
08:16 We have freedom of choice
08:19 on how or if you will let the public know your love.
08:23 If you choose to shout it out,
08:26 he wants to show that it can be done,
08:29 just like what he did.
08:30 What's important is if you're a good person,
08:33 if you're a good artist,
08:35 they want to express their opinion, go ahead.
08:37 But it's not our reality.
08:40 It's not who we are.
08:41 Nelson Canlas, updated on the showbiz happenings.
08:45 Filipino boxers were added to the 2024 Paris Olympics.
08:52 The winner of the second Olympic qualifying tournament in Thailand
08:56 was Carlo Paalam and Hergie Bakkiadan.
09:02 Rocky Siwa was the winner.
09:04 Tired and exhausted,
09:08 the two Paris-bound Filipino athletes,
09:11 Carlo Paalam and Hergie Bakkiadan,
09:13 did not stop their fun.
09:14 They arrived last night from Bangkok, Thailand,
09:16 where the second Olympic qualifying tournament for boxing was held.
09:20 I'm very happy,
09:22 especially with my coaches and teammates.
09:26 It's so nice to feel.
09:30 Bakkiadan, after being disqualified in the first qualifying tournament in Italy,
09:34 gave it his all to win the fight in Thailand.
09:38 Of course, it was my first time.
09:39 I was proud of my body,
09:41 so I put pressure on myself.
09:43 I said, "Will I waste this?"
09:45 Paalam also made it to the Olympics.
09:47 Like Hergie, he was disqualified in Italy after being injured in the fight.
09:52 I was discouraged because I didn't know how to handle my injury.
09:57 It was really painful.
09:59 Because of them,
10:00 five Filipino boxers will be fighting in the Philippines in the Paris Olympics.
10:04 According to national coach and 1992 boxing Olympian Ronald Chavez,
10:08 the Philippines has a big chance of winning gold
10:10 because many of our boxers have fought or joined training camps.
10:16 In our last training camp in Thailand,
10:20 almost all of the boxers qualified.
10:25 You can read the games that you can win.
10:31 In total, 15 Filipino athletes will be fighting in the Paris Olympics.
10:36 For GMI Integrated News,
10:38 Rafi Tima, for 24 Hours.
10:41 Cheap rice and electricity.
10:44 You can feel it in the next few months
10:47 because of the high prices of imported rice and coal.
10:50 Ivan Mayrina is on the show.
10:52 Mayrina.
10:53 If there is a high price for a product that is really felt by many Filipinos,
11:01 that is the high price of rice.
11:04 Rice is life for Filipinos.
11:07 That is why a firm part of the daily budget,
11:10 which is now,
11:11 remains at more than 51 pesos per kilo
11:14 according to the data of the Philippine Statistics Authority.
11:16 As a way to lower the price of rice,
11:20 the National Economic and Development Authority Board
11:23 yesterday issued a recommendation to President Bongbong Marcos
11:26 to lower the price of imported rice to 15% from 35%.
11:31 The target of the board here is up to 29 pesos per kilo
11:34 for the poor, like the four-piece beneficiary.
11:38 The rice subsidy will also be increased for them.
11:40 We are at least aiming for,
11:43 the Department of Agriculture is aiming for a reduction of
11:48 29 pesos per kilo, at least for the poor.
11:54 In July or August,
11:56 the price of rice in the market will be lowered.
11:59 If the price of imported rice is lowered,
12:02 the collection for the Rice Competitiveness Enhancement Fund or RCF
12:06 will be reduced, which is a fund for farmers.
12:08 But the programs to increase the production of farmers will not be neglected.
12:15 It is proven that the target of the Department of Agriculture
12:18 is still to reach more than 20 million metric tons of rice production
12:21 by the end of the year, despite the El Niño Dam.
12:24 As a target for a higher price of electricity,
12:27 the price of coal was also reduced,
12:29 which is used by many power plants in the country.
12:32 This is while the government continues to promote
12:34 the use of renewable energy in the coming years.
12:38 Tariff reduction on coal will help ensure its availability at reasonable prices,
12:43 thus supporting more stable electricity prices and supply in the country.
12:48 Given our present energy constraints,
12:50 this reduction will be timely as we steadily work toward
12:54 implementing planned investment in transmission facilities
12:59 and renewable energy infrastructure in the coming years.
13:03 For GMA Integrated News, Ivan Mejrina, for 24 Hours.
13:09 The second round of the NLEX's increase in the toll rate has begun today.
13:14 Raffy Tima is live.
13:16 Vicky, for those who will be passing through the NLEX,
13:23 please fasten your seatbelt as the implementation of the toll-fee increase
13:27 will begin today, part of the approved increase in the toll rate
13:31 that started last year.
13:36 For those using the open system, starting from Balintawak to Marilao,
13:39 the toll fee for Class 1 vehicles will increase by P5.
13:43 P14 for Class 2 and P17 for Class 3.
13:47 For those who will be traveling from Dulu-Dulu,
13:49 starting from Balintawak to Santa Ines,
13:51 the toll fee for Class 1 will increase by P27,
13:53 P68 for Class 2, and P81 for Class 3 or larger vehicles.
13:59 For Subic Tipo or Segment 7 of SCTEX,
14:02 the toll fee for Class 1 will increase by P2,
14:04 P7 for Class 2, and P8 for Class 3.
14:08 Here's a reaction from some motorists.
14:11 It's a huge reduction in my income.
14:14 But we have no choice because we have to move forward.
14:20 If we act, there will be a lot of traffic and hassle.
14:24 So, I hope this increase will be the last.
14:28 If it will go down, even diesel, it's okay.
14:31 Do you see it increasing?
14:33 No, it might decrease.
14:35 Even if it increases, we can't do anything.
14:38 Because everything is increasing.
14:42 What else can we do, sir?
14:45 But the service is improving, right?
14:47 It's okay, sir.
14:50 According to the NLEX,
14:52 those delivering agricultural products can be exempted from the toll increase.
14:57 This is through the Toll Fee Increase Exemption Program
15:00 that the Department of Agriculture and Department of Finance
15:03 and Expressway Operators are working on.
15:05 The intent of this is to help stabilize the prices of food.
15:13 That's why the trucks that carry agricultural products are exempted.
15:19 The trucks only need to have RFID
15:22 and register it with the Department of Agriculture
15:25 to get an exemption.
15:27 They will still ask for a new rate.
15:29 If approved, NLEX will return the rate increase to their RFID account.
15:34 Vicky, NLEX is encouraging truckers
15:41 who deliver agricultural products to register with the DA
15:45 to avail this exemption.
15:47 This is a big difference, especially for those who use NLEX every day.
15:52 That's the latest from Balintawak.
15:54 Vicky?
15:55 Thank you very much, Rafi Tima.
