00:00Let's go!
00:06Join us in our journey to Saksi!
00:12Before we go to Saksi, we saw in the Ewingin show in the West Philippine Sea
00:16the monster ship of the China Coast Guard
00:19according to a maritime security expert.
00:22And now, due to the fierce fighting of our troops in Ewingin on June 17,
00:27it is still not considered an armed attack by Defense Secretary Gilberto Teodoro.
00:33But it should also not be considered an accident.
00:37Saksi! Sivan Myrina!
00:45A week after the confrontation between the Philippine Navy and the China Coast Guard in the Ewingin show,
00:50the China Coast Guard 5901 was spotted near the BRP Sierra Madre
00:55which was reported as a monster ship and one of their biggest ships.
00:59According to a maritime security expert, Ray Powell,
01:02the ship was spotted next as it approached the Sabina Shoal
01:06where the BRP is located in Magbanua.
01:09The inflatable boats PCG and CCG were also spotted there.
01:16The Chinese Foreign Ministry urged the Philippines to stop its invasion
01:21and help China for peace in the South China Sea.
01:25The international community misleads the Philippines.
01:30In the past, China was seen as a professional
01:32and the action of the CCG in the Ewingin show on June 17 was under control.
01:36Even in that incident,
01:38the CCG of Palakol was seen in the video
01:41and other suspicious things to the Filipino soldiers.
01:44The same goes for smuggling, theft, and drilling of the Philippines' inflatable boats.
01:50At one point,
01:51an inflatable boat of China was seen chasing a Filipino on a boat.
01:57Due to the violence, the two boats almost fell.
02:02Due to the incident in Ewingin,
02:04Seaman First Class Underwater Operator Jeffrey Facundo was cut off his fingers.
02:09This weekend, he was made an Order of Lapu-Lapu with rank Kampilan.
02:14Order of Lapu-Lapu with rank Kamagi
02:16was called by the 77th Philippine Navy and Marines with him in the operation.
02:20I salute the 80 officers and troops who sailed the waters
02:24and exercised the greatest restraint amidst intense provocation.
02:30On June 17, we made a conscious and deliberate choice to remain in the path of peace.
02:38Through the President, the Philippines is not facing a war,
02:41but the Filipinos will not give up.
02:43We will never give up.
02:50The government still does not consider the armed attack under the Mutual Defense Treaty to have happened on June 17.
02:56But they also do not consider it a misunderstanding or an accident.
03:00We are not downplaying the incident.
03:02It was an aggressive and illegal use of force.
03:06The definition of armed attack is the use of military force,
03:10an excessive use of force that could trigger collective self-defense.
03:15Even in the Article 51 of the UN Charter and MDT,
03:21they will not force the definition of armed attack.
03:24The President also did not approve the recommendation of the National Maritime Council
03:27to announce regular RORE missions.
03:30The President has reiterated that we will not publish schedules of any RORE.
03:36But the Ministry of Foreign Affairs did not receive any help from their Chinese counterpart
03:42since the incident on June 17.
03:44The peaceful means, yes.
03:46It will not disappear.
03:48We are also doing something on the diplomatic front.
03:50We have a mechanism that has been in existence for quite a number of years.
03:54For GMA Integrated News, Ivan Meirina is your witness.
03:58The missing beauty pageant contestant and her Israeli boyfriend are still being searched.
04:04They finally said goodbye and are on their way to Capa Starlak.
04:07The missing woman was recovered from a burned SUV.
04:11The witness is Jasmine Gabriel Galvan of GMA Regional TV.
04:18An SUV was burned in this area of Capa Starlak on Saturday early in the morning.
04:23No one was able to drive the car, but the pouch containing the ATM card and ID containing Geneva Lopez was recovered.
04:32Lopez is the 26-year-old beauty pageant contestant who was found missing.
04:37Her 37-year-old Israeli boyfriend, Yitzhak Cohen, was also found missing.
04:42Some pageant groups in Pampanga posted on social media that Lopez' family member,
04:47Angeles Pampanga, was found missing.
04:51One of Lopez' family members told Angeles City Police that they said goodbye on Friday and were on their way to Capa Starlak.
04:58The next day, the SUV was burned.
05:01According to Lopez' family, the car belonged to her boyfriend and was on its way to Starlak to look for land to buy.
05:07The person they were meeting came here.
05:10We talked to them and he gave statements regarding this.
05:14But those statements that they gave are still PNP here in Capa.
05:21We are still verifying them.
05:23Lopez' family refused to be interviewed while the search for the two continued.
05:28For GMA Integrated News, I am Jasmine Gabriel Galvan of GMA Regional TV.
05:34Your success!
05:35Success!
05:37In the Immigration Lookout Bulletin Order,
05:40Bambang Tarlac Mayor Alice Guo, her siblings,
05:43and the former official of the government, Dennis Cunanan,
05:46were found missing in Pogo in Bambang Tarlac.
05:50The female manager of Pogo in Porac, Pampanga,
05:53was found missing in Manila after being stopped at the airport in Davao City.
05:56Success! Jonathan Andar.
05:58In order to leave the country, a Chinese woman flew to Davao,
06:02but she was stopped yesterday at Davao International Airport.
06:06The preferred airports of these Chinese nationals coming in and out of the country are Clark,
06:11Palawan, Puerto Princesa, and Davao.
06:15For whatever reason, we don't know.
06:17According to PAOC, the woman is the manager of Lucky Self 99,
06:21the Pogo hub in Porac, Pampanga.
06:24She will be brought to Manila for the first time.
06:26She is one of the 12 persons of interest in the Porac Pogo hub
06:30that has been alerted to the Bureau of Immigration.
06:33Bambang Tarlac Mayor Alice Guo, her siblings,
06:36and the former official of the government, Dennis Cunanan,
06:39were found missing in Pogo in Bambang Tarlac and Porac, Pampanga.
06:43All those who were involved in the case of Bambang
06:46were investigated by the Bureau of Immigration.
06:49The Bureau of Immigration is currently investigating
06:52the case of Bambang Tarlac and Porac, Pampanga.
06:54In Bambang, SOJ Remulia instructed
06:58to issue an Immigration Bulletin Lookout Order.
07:02They are the mayor, her siblings, Dennis Cunanan, and everybody else.
07:06GMA Integrated News is trying to get the information
07:09about Guo and Cunanan's whereabouts.
07:11But before they were denied, they were involved in illegal activities.
07:15Lucky Self 99 is also doing the same.
07:17They are also studying how to contradict the PAOC.
07:19They have already been judged by the PAOC
07:22because of their being Chinese.
07:24Secondly, they are not afraid to face any charges or questions
07:33that they will be faced with.
07:35But they are still thinking,
07:37they still have the option to file a case against the PAOC.
07:42Earlier, Senator Sherwin Gatchalian inspected
07:45inside the illegal Pogo in Porac.
07:47He will recommend suspending Mayor Jaime Capil of Porac
07:49because of negligence.
07:51There is negligence that happened.
07:54If a mayor is not allowed to enter,
07:56you should report to the police.
07:58You should report officially.
08:00You should not remain silent.
08:02Because if you remain silent,
08:04you will be part of the crimes that happened.
08:06Capil's lawyer said,
08:08they will just answer this in the Senate hearing on Wednesday.
08:11Gatchalian will also study
08:13if Senator Harry Roquette,
08:15his former Executive Assistant,
08:17will be called after seeing their documents in Pogo Hub.
08:19When asked if Goh has a connection to Pogo Hub in Porac,
08:23Gatchalian said,
08:25I can only answer that the people he talked to
08:29were also seen here in Pogo Hub.
08:31So that's the link that we are referring to.
08:34Based on the investigation of the Criminal Investigation Detection Group,
08:37Pogo Hub will be connected to Bamban and Porac.
08:39But they did not put it aside
08:41while the investigation continues.
08:43Next, those who discovered the illegal Pogo in Central Luzon,
08:45PNP Chief Rommel Francisco Marvil
08:47will investigate and answer
08:49the police involved in the illegal Pogo.
08:52For GMA Integrated News,
08:54I am Jonathan Andal,
08:56your witness.
09:03Now, the issue about the Pogo is hot,
09:06so we went to Mungkahi
09:08to make a classroom for the Pogo raided in Porac, Pampanga.
09:11He posted it in the barangay witness,
09:13of Darlene Kai.
09:1610 hectares of Pogo Hub in Porac, Pampanga
09:19are wide and complete in the facility.
09:22There are canteens, salon, KTV, office, and rooms.
09:26There are 46 houses with 3 floors each.
09:30It was abandoned for now
09:32after it was raided on June 4
09:34due to the operation without a permit
09:36and because of being a target of criminals.
09:38While the investigation is ongoing
09:40on who are the people behind this illegal Pogo Hub,
09:42many are asking
09:44what will happen to these houses.
09:47If this Pogo Hub
09:49will be used by the government,
09:52we think it is not good
09:54to make it a school.
09:57Our barangay witnesses
09:59are in favor of the idea.
10:01They say it is good to use
10:03in a messy way.
10:05It is better if it is a school.
10:07It will help the youth.
10:09I think it is better
10:10if it is a school
10:12to help the youth.
10:14It is a big thing
10:16because the youth need
10:18education,
10:20especially the children.
10:22It is possible
10:24to save money from the government.
10:26There is no need to build a new one.
10:28The students themselves
10:30approve of the idea.
10:32Yes.
10:34It is for our education
10:36of the youth.
10:38Many of the online participants
10:40want to make it a Pogo Hub
10:42or a hospital.
10:44It can also be a house.
10:46Another idea is to make it a prison
10:48to decongest the people on the ground.
10:50Another idea is to make it
10:52an evacuation center.
10:54But someone said
10:56it would be scary
10:58to make it a school
11:00especially with the violence
11:02in the Pogo Hub.
11:04They say it would be better
11:06to make it a government office.
11:08Based on the DETED data,
11:10the total number of students
11:12in the Philippines
11:14is 1,364.
11:16DETED used to say
11:18that it would cost P2 million
11:20to build a classroom.
11:22No matter how good the proposal is,
11:24there is still a process
11:26that needs to be followed.
11:28It cannot be implemented immediately.
11:30It will undergo
11:32a summary
11:34for future proceedings.
11:36It can be criminal
11:38or civil.
11:40The AMLC
11:42will file the case.
11:44If the government wins,
11:46it can be awarded
11:48to whoever needs it.
11:50It can be used
11:52as a school
11:54or a training center.
11:56Because the work
11:58that it does
12:00is very difficult
12:02to make it a school.
12:04It is said that it is cheaper
12:06to make it a school
12:07or a training center.
12:09It can be used
12:11as a school
12:13or a training center.
12:15It can be used
12:17as a school
12:19or a training center.
12:21It can be used

14:09On the exclusive interview of GMA Integrated News, Vice President Sara Duterte answered
14:19how President Bongbong Marcos is doing following his departure from the Cabinet.
14:25Witness, Marisol Abdurrahman.
14:31So how's your relationship now?
14:34I would believe we are still friendly with each other on a personal level.
14:40That's how Vice President Sara Duterte portrayed President Bongbong Marcos
14:46who became his cat-ticket in the 2022 elections.
14:49Following his departure from the Cabinet of the Administration of Marcos,
14:53particularly as Education Secretary and NTF-ELCA Chairperson,
14:58there's still no explanation as to why he left the Cabinet.
15:02I went to President Marcos' office and I told him that I brought his reservation letter.
15:08He accepted it very well.
15:12There's no doubt that we tried to get a reaction from the First Lady
15:16who previously said that she didn't want the Vice President's family to be divided.
15:21But former House Speaker Martin Romualdez respects the decision of the Vice President.
15:27We miss the closer interactions that we had during the campaign.
15:31But nonetheless, there's some politics and there's some personal
15:36and we only wish the Vice President nothing but the best.
15:42Vice President Duterte said that his work as Education Secretary is still ongoing,
15:46especially since he has no replacement.
15:48He also has plans for the next term that he started and can continue.
15:53We are not yet done with the review of grades 11 and 12 curriculum.
15:59So we need to finish that.
16:01We need to address the employability of our grade 12 graduates.
16:06Our dream is for the school-based feeding program to be universal.
16:12For GMA Integrated News, Marisol Abduraman, your news.
16:20Some cybersecurity experts are worried about the number of incidents of hacking
16:24in government agencies.
16:25Especially in the first four months of 2024,
16:28three incidents of cyberattacks in government agencies were monitored by a group.
16:34Witness, Rafi Tima.
16:38There are more, it's up to us, and we need to be prepared.
16:41That's what the experts are worried about in a cybersecurity conference today.
16:46Aside from private companies, what's alarming is the number of attacks in the government.
16:52For the period January to April of this year alone,
16:55we have had 39 cyber incidents involving government agencies,
16:59three of which have had repeated attacks.
17:03But what the experts are focusing on now is the relation of cyberattacks
17:07to the current chaos, like what's happening in Ukraine.
17:11Before the actual attack on their territory,
17:13Russia made a cyberattack against Ukraine.
17:17Any move that involves a takeover of Taiwan,
17:21or a takeover of certain portions or the entire South China Sea,
17:25will have early warning signs in cyberspace.
17:28Their question is, if China has a cyberattack against institutions in the Philippines,
17:33will there be a mutual defense treaty between the countries and the United States?
17:36It's not clear yet, but just now,
17:39some countries are changing their mutual defense treaties.
17:42A number of countries are updating those mutual defense treaties to say,
17:46look, cyber is covered, and it should be,
17:48because if you use a cyberattack and it kills a bunch of people,
17:51why is that different than a kinetic attack?
17:54According to the Ambassador of Australia in the Philippines,
17:56who was a senator in the forum,
17:58they take cyberattacks very seriously.
18:00We want to work with you to uphold international law
18:05and the rules and norms of responsible state behavior in cyberspace.
18:11Sound familiar?
18:12A bit like what we're doing in the South China Sea.
18:15Yes.
18:16Even America is taking cyber security seriously.
18:20We've increasingly begun building cyber into our defense cooperation.
18:25Last year's Balacatan exercise included a cyber defense component for the first time ever.
18:31Today, several component commands, combatant commands,
18:35like the Indo-Pacific Command and Cyber Command,
18:38have their own programs with the Philippines.
18:41For GMI Integrated News, I'm Rafi Timang.
18:44Saksi!
18:47It's not just an increase, but a double in the current budget
18:50requested by the Department of Agriculture for 2025.
18:53A large part of this is the irrigation plan,
18:56especially in many places in the country,
18:58which relies on rainwater.
19:00Saksi!
19:01I'm Maki Polido.
19:05Under the government's small investment in the agriculture sector,
19:09the Department of Agriculture said
19:11it will take 100 years to complete the roads and other infrastructure.
19:16That's why they're asking for a double budget for 2025,
19:20from Php 208 billion to Php 513 billion.
19:24We need more investment for agri.
19:27Because the sector is only receiving about 3 percent,
19:33and the contribution to GDP is about 9 percent.
19:39And the sector employs about 20 percent of the labor force,
19:44and we need budgetary support.
19:46Of the Php 200 billion requested for an increase in the budget,
19:49the agency wants to increase the irrigation.
19:5133 percent of the 1 million hectares of irrigable area
19:56still relies on rainwater.
19:58In order to bring products to the market,
20:00proper roads are needed.
20:02But in the 131,000 kilometers of Farm to Market Road,
20:06only 64,000 have been properly passed.
20:09Post-harvest facilities are also lacking,
20:12such as cold storage facilities,
20:14so that the product can be packed first
20:16instead of being thrown on the side of the road
20:18if there's too much rice.
20:20In terms of cold storage capacity,
20:22we're the lowest.
20:2437,000 cubic meters per 1,000 residents.
20:28Because of these shortcomings,
20:30in rice, for example,
20:31more than 14 percent of the rice was not used.
20:35The same goes for bananas,
20:36while 50 percent of the rice was used for mangoes.
20:39For onions,
20:40only 31 percent of the rice was thrown away.
20:43If we can significantly reduce it,
20:46of course, we will be reducing our imports
20:50and we can increase our level of sufficiency.
20:55Bantay Bigas said,
20:57with the size of that fund,
20:58farmers should really benefit from it.
21:01It needs to be monitored,
21:02especially since the agency has experienced a lot of corruption.
21:06How much is the Php 1 billion fertilizer fund scam,
21:09even if the Php 100 billion was misused
21:13by the National Irrigation Administration?
21:17For the Ibon Foundation,
21:18the agency's budget should really be increased.
21:21But the fund needs to be monitored
21:23and whatever was stolen,
21:24it should be spent.
21:26The DA accepted
21:27that the fund needs to be monitored
21:29from corruption
21:30and that they are helping each other in the private sector.
21:34For GMA Integrated News,
21:35Mackie Pulido is your witness.
21:44The Royals at the Eros Tour.
21:47Taylor Swift's concert in London was watched by Prince William
21:50with his children,
21:52Prince George and Princess Charlotte.
21:54They also have Groofy with Taylor
21:57Taylor also has Groofy
21:59with the Royal Family
22:01and her boyfriend, Travis Kelsey.
22:09We will meet Sweetness Overload
22:11in Saksi Foodie tonight.
22:13This is Silvanas,
22:14known as one of the most delicious cookies in the world.
22:19Saksi, Alan Domingo of GMA Regional TV.
22:27Are you also one of the Filipinos
22:29who loves sweets?
22:31There is a snack
22:32that is very popular in the Negros Oriental
22:34that is called
22:36Presenting.
22:37Silvanas of Dumaguete City.
22:42It has different flavors
22:44like chocolate,
22:45obi,
22:46pandan,
22:47strawberry,
22:48raspberry
22:49and lemon.
22:50And of course,
22:51the classic flavor of butter is a must.
22:55This is the snack version
22:57of the dessert,
22:58Sans Rival.
23:06Silvanas is made from Cashew Meringue Cookies.
23:08It is filled with buttercream
23:11and cashew crumbs.
23:13To make Cashew Meringue Cookies,
23:15you just need egg whites,
23:17cream of tartar,
23:19sugar and cassoy.
23:21First, mix the egg whites
23:23until it becomes foamy.
23:25Then, add cream of tartar and sugar
23:28and mix until it becomes creamy.
23:30Here, mix the cassoy
23:32and roll it into a ball.
23:34After that,
23:35put it inside the oven.
23:38Make the buttercream
23:40with egg yolks,
23:41sugar,
23:42salt,
23:43butter and vanilla extract.
23:45And it is delicious
23:47for World Stakes.
23:49It is ranked 25
23:50in the Top 50 Best Cookies in the World
23:52by the online food guide,

24:22A complaint was filed against the SUV driver
24:25who was forced to get a license
24:27when he scratched the driver.
24:29It happened in the middle of the C5
24:31in the middle of Taguig
24:32last year.
24:34In the first conversation of the SUV driver
24:36after the incident,
24:38he said that he was scratched
24:40by the truck driver
24:41that's why he got angry
24:42and confronted him.
24:44He denied the allegations
24:46that he was carrying a gun
24:47and aimed the gun at the driver.
24:49But the SUV driver admitted
24:51that he did the wrong thing
24:53that the driver was on drugs
24:55and he was forced to get a license.
24:58He thought of filing a complaint
25:00against the truck driver.
