00:00 The investigation of the Chinese army uniforms found in Pogo Hub in Porac, Pampanga is ongoing.
00:09 But the AFP said that it doesn't want to panic because it's possible that these are just props used for scams.
00:19 Chino Gaston is on the case.
00:25 When the authorities entered a Pogo Hub in Porac, Pampanga, the high-powered firearms and some sets of uniforms of the Chinese military were found.
00:33 The digital camouflage, the design of the uniforms, there are buttons with PLA markings,
00:39 the authorities thought that the PLA is the initials of the People's Liberation Army, the military force of China.
00:45 The Armed Forces of the Philippines is still careful in speaking about the uniforms found.
00:50 PAOC is already conducting its investigation. For the part of the AFP, we will be supporting in the manner of our concern which is national security.
01:01 And with the uniforms that were seen, these are all parts of evidence at hand.
01:07 So we are trying to look at the veracity of the report, whether they're legit uniforms.
01:12 And these are also very few in number to be part of a troop.
01:17 So we do not want to unnecessarily cause panic to the general public.
01:23 But the AFP also said that it's possible that the uniforms were used as props,
01:27 especially the Pogo operations are included in the illegal activities such as online scams.
01:33 What is happening is there is an increase in the monitored unusual incidents perpetrated by the presence of Chinese nationals.
01:42 Without saying yet that these are risks to national security, what we have seen are violations of simple or rather simple common crimes.
01:52 But some senators, including those investigating the Pogo in the Philippines, have already issued orders to the uniformed.
01:59 Senator Risa Ontiveros said that the implication of these uniforms is alarming.
02:05 It is clear that the Pogo have taken advantage of the country's weak economy,
02:10 became the backbone of crime, and now it is a threat to national security.
02:15 For Senator Sherwin Gachalian, it is clear that the Pogo are a national security threat
02:21 that opened the door to the entry of syndicates and to the government's desire to weaken the political institutions.
02:29 That's why the Pogo should not be allowed in the country.
02:33 Senator Jingo Estrada, chairman of the committee on national defense, said that
02:37 even if these uniforms are real or props, it should not be taken lightly by the authorities and should be known where it is used.
02:45 GMA Integrated News is also trying to get the title of National Security Council and Palacio Ukol here.
02:52 For GMA Integrated News, who is the winner? 24 hours.
02:57 New Zealand is looking at speeding up and accelerating the process of getting the visa of Filipinos.
03:04 The foreign affairs minister of New Zealand also assured that he visited the Philippines
03:09 and that there are many opportunities for Filipinos who want to work in their country.
03:14 That's my focus.
03:15 Janela is a graduate of Business Administration, Major in Financial Management, and is 32 years old.
03:23 But she is now in New Zealand with a working holiday visa to succeed and maybe find a permanent job.
03:31 This is my dream country. New Zealand is a very peaceful place.
03:35 It is very promising to see in New Zealand compared to what she sees in the Philippines, even if she is a degree holder.
03:41 Especially for her, the sick is in danger.
03:44 What I am doing in the Philippines is not worth it.
03:48 She is currently looking for a temporary job.
03:51 And because she is holding a working holiday visa,
03:54 she needs to find an employer who is ready to permanently sponsor her before November, before she gets her visa.
04:02 New Zealand Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Foreign Affairs Winston Peters said
04:06 that he is in the country for an official visit to strengthen the relationship between the two countries.
04:12 We are looking at the question of expediting visas, simplifying them, making them more obvious in terms of applicants
04:19 so that there's not extraordinary delays, and ensuring that our attention and focus on the visa issue is aligned with our employment needs.
04:30 Deputy Prime Minister Peters also assured that there are many opportunities in New Zealand for Filipinos,
04:37 even if they are just recovering from the COVID pandemic.
04:40 One of the sectors that has the most opportunities for those who want to work in New Zealand is the agriculture sector.
04:47 Currently, the minimum wage in New Zealand is up to 29.66 New Zealand dollars or equivalent to more than 1,000 pesos per hour.
04:55 I express appreciation for New Zealand's recognition of the vital contributions of the Philippine diaspora
05:01 to New Zealand's continued economic prosperity and the richness of its social fabric
05:07 and convey the hope that their government will ensure the well-being of our fellow Filipinos,
05:12 including safeguarding their hard-earned social security pensions.
05:16 For GMA Integrated News, Mariz Umali reporting for 24 Hours.
05:20 For a better supply of tap water, a new tunnel is being completed.
05:26 Instead of the old ones that are filled with water, Maki Pulido is now working.
05:32 More than six kilometers of tunnel boring machine has been completed from Big T Basin to Ipo Dam.
05:42 This is Tunnel No. 5, one of the new tunnels that are filled with water,
05:46 which will be used to provide access to the old Tunnel 1 and 2.
05:51 In these old tunnels, 120 million liters of water is drained and wasted every day,
05:57 water that would have been used by more than 800,000 people.
06:01 If Tunnel No. 5 is operational next year, two tunnels will be closed for repair.
06:07 We cannot say how much the repair will be for Tunnel 1 and Tunnel 2,
06:14 but maybe because our conveyance system is already too much because of Tunnel 4 and Tunnel 5,
06:19 what will happen is they will be on standby.
06:22 More than P3 billion was the project that was divided between Manila Water and Manila,
06:26 but water consumers are paying for it, so it is part of our water bill until the next 25 years.
06:33 It is worth it for it to collapse. If our old tunnels collapse, we will lose water.
06:40 The water in Metro Manila will not be able to go down.
06:43 Aside from Caliraya Dam, the dams from Tag-Init have not yet recovered.
06:47 The Angat Dam has not yet recovered, which is 31.92 meters lower than its normal high water level.
06:54 In July, it is expected that it will start to recover,
06:58 but MWSS is asking for a higher allocation for domestic and industrial use in Metro Manila, Rizal, Cavite and Bulacan
07:06 so that there is no water service interruption.
07:09 MWSS is asking for 52 cubic meters per second, which is higher than the regular allocation of 50 CMS.
07:17 Even if we are given 50, if there is too much water, we are the one requesting not to release water from Angat.
07:26 For GMA Integrated News, Maki Pulido, 24 Hours.
07:31 Good evening, Kapuso!

08:50 Sian, the viewers will hate you after this.

09:01 Watch it tomorrow.

09:15 She's in traffic.
09:17 We are ready to watch the playtime.
09:20 Come here and join us.
09:22 Let's play.
09:24 Actually, Nelson, I'm with the cast.
09:29 Just kidding. Thank you so much, Nelson Canlas.
09:31 The President ordered that the pregnant women and the breastfeeding mothers
09:39 should be included in the four-piece donation.
09:42 Van Myrina is in the show.
09:44 [music]
09:46 At the moment, the Pantawid Pamilyang Pilipino Program of Four Piece is just a start.
09:53 But according to his plan today,
09:55 the President ordered that the pregnant women and the breastfeeding mothers should be included in the four-piece donation.
10:01 They will receive a cash grant whenever the health services will use the first 1,000 days
10:06 or the first three years of life of the pregnant women.
10:09 That's longer than the first plan of the DSWD that helped the first 100 days of every child
10:14 so that they can avoid malnutrition and stunting or pregnancy.
10:18 The President is urging the DSWD and the DOH to study and recommend
10:23 how they can be included in the program.
10:25 This afternoon, the President visited Malacanang
10:28 the Deputy Prime Minister and the Foreign Affairs Minister of New Zealand, Winston Peters.
10:32 This is still part of the meeting with the United Nations in the Philippines
10:36 that was first discussed during the visit of New Zealand Prime Minister Christopher Duckson this April.
10:42 The situation in the Philippines requires that the small agencies get together
10:54 how they respond to the joint positioning of the Philippines to the two issues
11:07 that are the most important to the Philippines.
11:11 For GMA Integrated News, Ivan Mayrina reporting for 24 Hours.
11:16 The candidates for Miss Manila 2024 showed their fit physique and Q&A skills.
11:26 And speaking of queens, what are the worries of the Miss Universe Philippines?
11:32 Let's talk to Lars Santiago.
11:35 A few weeks after Miss Universe Philippines pageant runway,
11:42 Miss Eco International Philippines 2025, Alexi Brooks, Miss Cosmo Philippines 2024,
11:53 and Miss Charm Philippines 2025, Cyril Payumo, and Miss Supra National Philippines 2025,
12:02 Tara May Valencia.
12:04 But before that, they gave themselves a little treat.
12:10 A whole box of pizza.
12:12 Carbs was not on my list during the competition.
12:15 And I told myself I want me some pepperoni with extra cheese in it.
12:18 Two pieces fried chicken, extra fries while wearing my gown.
12:24 I love fried food so hotel room service, I got chicharambolaklak.
12:29 So after the coronation night, I've ordered one bowl of yangchao with pork chop in it.
12:36 Leaving this month to Poland, Alitaya Ambrosio and Brandon Espiritu
12:42 to be the representative of the Philippines in Miss and Mr. Supra National 2024.
12:49 I'm excited to go to Poland and to see every candidates, all my sisters and to meet everyone.
12:57 I am super excited. I've never been to Europe.
13:00 I'm so stoked to go to Poland and experience a new culture and geographies.
13:06 Speaking of competition, proudly representing the famous places and streets of Manila,
13:12 24 candidates of Miss Manila 2024 went one by one.
13:19 After the introduction, they did a quick change and went back to the stage.
13:24 They wore gold swimsuits.
13:27 Aside from the beauty queen, Reddy Body, they also tried their luck in Q&A.
13:33 One of the people who wants to go home with the crown of Miss Manila this year is the sparkle artist,
13:39 Lainel Navidad representing the Gupan Extension.
13:43 I love acting and I'm also in love with pageantry so I don't feel tired.
13:48 From a family of doctors, Miss Espana Jubilee Therese Acosta.
13:54 I think that my cause deserves a platform like Miss Manila.
13:59 Honestly, I've watched the last year's show and they resonate with the ideas that I also dream of.
14:06 I aspire that Manila would improve their healthcare status.
14:09 But regards last year, up until now, I saw the transformation.
14:14 Phil Arabia, Daniela Mazen Mustafa from Tayuman.
14:19 I wanted to go and support for solo parent because I was raised by a solo parent.
14:24 I was raised by my mother alone because my father died this year in war.
14:28 The aspiring pilot and Air Force reservist, Aliyah Rogelia from Santa Cruz.
14:35 Miss Manila advocates for both empowerment and leadership.
14:38 And so it aligns with my vision of bringing more women into the aviation field.
14:43 They are just a few of the ones to be expected for the grand coronation of Miss Manila in the Metropolitan Theater.
14:52 Miss Universe 2018, Catriona Gray will return as a host of the pageant.
