01:02When the warrant was issued for the suspect we arrested,

01:05our operatives identified where he works and where he is located.

01:10That's why it was easy for them to find him.

01:12According to the police, the wife of the arrested James Instructor is the one who filed the case.

01:16The crime happened last year.

01:18They have been living together for more than 13 years.

01:21At the time of the incident, they are just two months married with children.

01:27Based on the information and data, the suspect injured his wife twice.

01:34The third time, our complainant decided to report to the police station to file a case.

01:44This is related to the most wanted person in Masambong Police Station, James Instructor.

01:49We were not able to get hold of him because he was released after being sentenced.

01:54James Agustin reporting for GMA Integrated News.

02:47For the first time in 2024, the price of products and services in the country has slowed.

02:53According to the Philippine Statistics Authority, the inflation rate of June is 3.7%

02:59which is lower than 3.9% in May.

03:02According to the PSA, the main reason for the slow inflation

03:06is the slow increase of house prices, water, electricity, and gas.

03:11It is also related to the slow inflation of the transportation sector

03:17as well as the slow price increase.

03:24Beep, beep, beep.

03:25The price of oil products is increasing again next week.

03:30Gasoline has the highest price hike on Tuesday that the Oil Industry Management Bureau of the DOE can see.

03:46The price of diesel can increase from Php 40 to Php 60 per liter

03:50while the price of kerosene can increase from Php 60 to Php 80 per liter.

03:55Is it still possible for the price to change?

03:56It depends on the situation in the world market this Friday.

04:00According to the DOE, the geopolitical tension in the Middle East has risen

04:06and there is an unexpected withdrawal of crude oil stocks in America.

04:15Part of the road in San Emilio, Ilocos Sur collapsed due to the rain.

04:20The damaged road is 12 meters long.

04:24No one was injured in the incident.

04:26The LGU placed a warning sign on the damaged road as a warning to motorists.

04:33Only light vehicles are allowed to pass.

04:36In the next few hours and this weekend, the chance of rain will be high again in almost the entire country

04:42including Ilocos Sur and Metro Manila.

04:46The possibility of rain is higher in the afternoon and night.

04:50Prepare for heavy to intense rains in some places that may cause floods or landslides

04:56based on the rainfall forecast of Metro Weather.

04:59There is no visible storm or low-pressure area inside or outside the Philippine Area of Responsibility.

05:05The rain in the country is accompanied by the Intertropical Convergence Zone

05:10or ITZZ, Easter Leaves and local thunderstorms.

05:15The Department of Social Welfare and Development is studying the value of benefits under the Pantawid Pamilyang Pilipino Program or 4Ps.

05:25The 4Ps law must be prepared for the automatic adjustment of 4Ps grants.

05:31In addition, the DSWD is also studying the addition of cash grants for 4Ps beneficiaries.

05:37They are cooperating with the National Economic and Development Authority

05:40to find out how much can be added to the cash grants.

05:44Currently, 4Ps beneficiaries receive P300 to P700 per month depending on the child's school.

05:52They also have P750 health grant and P600 rice allowance per month.

05:59A bus driver is facing a murder complaint after he was caught

06:04that he hit his traffic enforcer in Dasmariñas, Cavite.

06:10This is the story of Jamie Santos.

06:16In this CCTV footage, you can see a bus passing by on the right.

06:21When the bus stopped, a man was standing behind it.

06:26The incident happened in front of a mall in Sampalucuan, Dasmariñas, Cavite.

06:33Based on the investigation of the police, the driver of the bus was hit by the traffic enforcer

06:39because of the no-loading traffic violation.

06:41But instead of stopping, the driver rushed to stop the bus so it was hit by the enforcer.

06:48The driver had an argument.

06:51He refused to receive the ticket that was given to him and at the same time,

06:57he refused to give his driver's license.

07:00So what he did was, when the traffic enforcer approached him,

07:05he moved his vehicle until he hit the traffic enforcer and he was hit by the vehicle.

07:12The traffic enforcer was dead on the spot.

07:15The suspect, who was also caught in the follow-up operation, also escaped.

07:20The Dasmariñas City Traffic Management Unit is concerned about the situation of their fellowmen,

07:26who are just doing their job.

07:29He didn't do anything wrong. He's just doing our job.

07:32Why did he treat our fellowmen like dogs?

07:37Like that, he left his children when they were still small.

07:41What about the family that he left?

07:44It's very sad. We feel bad for the drivers who are so angry because we also have family.

07:55The suspect is facing charges.

07:58We filed a murder case and Article 275, abandonment of duty.

08:05There's an intention behind it. That's why we filed a murder case against the suspect.

08:12The suspect, who is now in custody at the Dasmariñas City Police Custodial Facility, is no longer facing charges.

08:19Jamie Santos reporting for JMA Integrated News.

08:27Gilas Pilipinas is now a semi-finalist in the FIBA Olympic Qualifying Tournament.

08:31The National Men's Basketball Team has a 1-1 record in finishing the group stage.

08:37They were defeated by Georgia last night with a score of 96-94.

08:41Despite this, Latvia and the Philippines are still ahead in the semifinals due to FIBA's point system.

08:47Only the team that wins the finals will get a slot in the Olympics.

08:51According to Gilas coach Tim Cohn, they didn't force the team to overtime

08:55to avoid the possibility of Georgia gaining more points.

08:59If Georgia gains 19 points or more, the Philippines will be eliminated in the group stage.

09:08A man wearing a white helmet entered a Sari-sari store in Patag, Cagayan de Oro City.

09:15He bought something and went out.

09:17The vendor followed him to close the store.

09:20There, the suspect declared a hold-up.

09:23He stabbed the victim with a knife.

09:26According to the vendor, he was nervous so he couldn't do anything

09:29and just gave the store's earnings of more than P20,000.

09:33The incident has been reported to the police.

09:36The suspect is also being investigated for a hold-up in another store in Barangay Buluwa.

09:43The suspect is wearing a helmet and the knife is also armed.

09:49More than P1 million has been raised for information on the case of the missing beauty pageant contestant

09:55and her boyfriend, Israeli.

09:57The investigation of seven persons of interest, including a former police officer, is ongoing.

10:02This is CJ Torrida reporting for GMA Regional TV.

10:10Seven persons of interest are being investigated for the missing beauty pageant contestant,

10:15Geneva Lopez, and her boyfriend, Israeli, Yitschak Cohen.

10:19According to the Criminal Investigation and Detection Group,

10:23the former police officer, Angeles Siti, and a middleman were involved in the purchase of land of the couple.

10:29These are our POIs, including the former police.

10:33These are the persons of interest.

10:35These are the missing couple.

10:39His transaction is willing to speak and he spoke.

10:43He was involved in the first investigation.

10:49He spoke to the couple.

10:53They separated after their site visit in the land that they were going to buy.

10:59The middleman reported that he saw the missing SUV.

11:04Based on a macro-etching done by the police,

11:07the chassis and engine number of the alleged vehicle were not tampered.

11:11Fingerprints were also taken from here, which is a big help in determining who used it.

11:18The Binong Special Investigation Task Group is looking for all angles that can help in the investigation.

11:24As of now, the PNP-CIDG has not yet seen any indication that the couple is dead.

11:31That angle is still unclear because as of now, we have not seen any body or anything that can confirm if they are alive or dead.

11:43But we are hoping that they are alive.

11:46Their families have not yet made a statement.

11:49The family of Cohen was the first to pay Php 250,000 to anyone who can tell them where their loved ones are.

11:58A total of Php 1,000,000 was added from Governor Dennis Pineda and Vice Governor Lilia Pineda,

12:05and Php 150,000 from Santo Tomas LGU where Lopez's family lives.

14:59especially since he was the only one looking for a job for his family.

15:03He also fought with the authorities.

15:06Because of this, he was charged with complaint of disobedience to person in authority,

15:11alarm and scandal, and arson.

15:13The police advised those who love to drink.

17:00this is in line with the Health Emergency Allowance or HEA

17:04of more than 5 million medical frontliners

17:16due to COVID-19 at the same time.

17:19This is part of the benefits of those who worked during the pandemic

17:31The Humanity and Late Birth Registration

17:34of Suspended Bamban Tarlac mayors, Alice Goh, is also being investigated.

17:38And in the midst of the ongoing investigation

17:40of the POGO operations, the question is,

17:42can Mayor Goh be a state witness?

17:45Let's hear from Sandra Aguinaldo.

17:50Many are intrigued by the identity of the woman

17:53named and birthday of Mayor Alice Goh,

17:56but her face is different.

17:58Senator Sherwin Gatchalian said,

18:00this has no effect on the various cases that Goh may face.

18:05In addition to her involvement in the POGO operation

18:09or Philippine Offshore Gaming Operators,

18:12and it is said that she will lie about her identity.

18:16Gatchalian reminded,

18:18in the record of the Philippine Statistics Authority,

18:21Alice Goh is the only one.

18:23She also doesn't have a birth certificate.

18:25I don't know if she just went there and got an NBI clearance.

18:31So there should be an investigation.

18:33But based on birth certificate,

18:35Alice Goh is the only one.

18:36This is Mayor Alice Goh of Bamban.

18:40Gatchalian's NBI did not yet investigate

18:43the true identity of Alice Goh of Quezon City.

18:47But what Gatchalian is waiting for from the NBI

18:50is what will come out of the fingerprint matching of Goh's siblings.

18:55The senator who is in charge of the investigation of the NBI announced,

18:59the sister of Mayor Wesley Goh

19:02is the Chinese national Goh Shandian.

19:05Goh has two more siblings.

19:07According to Gatchalian,

19:08he is strengthening the evidence that Mayor Goh is not Filipino.

19:12He is showing that Goh's family abused

19:16the process of late registration of birth in the Philippines.

19:21And he also did it a few days ago.

19:25We saw that a family got four late registrations.

19:29What I am afraid of is that this is used to buy land.

19:37And we are hearing a lot now that buying land from foreigners,

19:43Chinese in particular, is really scary.

19:46In Palawan, in Cagayan, in Isabela.

19:49Gatchalian's call to the PSA

19:51is to investigate the data of the late registration of birth in the country.

19:56Senator Riza Ontiveros said

19:59that if the sister of Mayor Alice Goh has land,

20:03it could also be related to the crimes committed against Mayor Goh.

20:08They should also investigate the possible involvement of the family and associates of Mayor Goh.

20:14Goh and his family were invited for the next hearing,

20:18but according to Goh's lawyer,

20:20there is no guarantee that they will arrive.

20:23When I talked to him, he was crying.

20:26It's like he has anxiety depression.

20:28I don't know if he will be able to attend or not.

20:31He needs medical attention.

20:33Gatchalian urged Mayor Goh to talk about his knowledge about Pogo,

20:38Balban and Porang so that he can ease his responsibility.

20:43But when Gatchalian clarified,

20:45Goh cannot be a state witness in the investigation of Pogo

20:49because he is not the least guilty.

20:52He is also in Central Parao of Hongsheng Gaming Corporation,

20:56which operated in Bambang Pogo Hub.

20:59Goh's lawyer said that he has limited knowledge about Pogo.

21:04If Mayor Alice has other information,

21:07I will advise her to tell the whole truth.

21:10But I cannot force her.

21:12That's all she knows.

21:15Sandra Aguinaldo reporting for GMA Integrated News.

21:23Happy Friday mga mare at pare!

21:26Touchdown land of the morning come,

21:57because this is the first time he will represent the country in such a big event.

22:02Josh is very thankful for being given this opportunity.

22:11The AFP of China is paying damages

22:14regarding the incident in Aungin Shoal on June 17

22:17where several items of our troops were damaged and wounded.

22:21Let's hear from June Veneration.

22:30The aggressive actions of the China Coast Guard

22:32to block the resupply mission of the Philippines in Aungin Shoal on June 17

22:40resulted in a cut in the size of a soldier and damage to the equipment.

22:45That's why the Armed Forces of the Philippines

22:47through the Department of Foreign Affairs

22:50is paying China 60 million pesos in damages.

22:53Even the cost of the operation of the wounded soldier

22:56might be paid by China.

22:58These are illegal acts that they did.

23:01They should be punished.

23:04The AFP also placed 7 guns that were taken by the China Coast Guard.

23:09But because of the China Foreign Ministry,

23:11China made a step to protect their sovereignty.

23:16Aungin Shoal is part of the Exclusive Economic Zone of the Philippines.

23:20If what happened on June 17 happens again,

23:23it will be a trial according to the AFP.

23:25We will not allow them to do that to us again.

23:30We are Filipinos.

23:33We will apply the same level of force that would allow us to defend ourselves.

23:41We will fight fairly.

23:43That's all I can say.

23:45There are adjustments that they will make

23:47for the protection of the soldiers in the next resupply mission

23:51that will not violate the rules of engagement.

23:54At the Command Conference,

23:55the AFP laid down various strategies for the next resupply mission

24:00and operation in the West Philippine Sea to President Bongbong Marcos.

24:04The instruction of our President is to de-escalate.

24:08Again, we cannot discuss that.

24:11Because when we talk about the how,

24:13our operational matters are already there.

24:16The China Coast Guard's monster ship headed to Escoda Shoal

24:21to watch over the Philippine Coast Guard's BRP Teresa Magbanwa.

24:26According to the former U.S. Defense Attaché Ray Powell,

24:30it is only 600 meters away from each other.

24:33The Coast Guard has not yet issued an official report.

24:36Navy and Foreign Affairs Department.

24:38No official reports yet.

24:40It's important to us and we'll certainly monitor the developments.

24:43According to the retired Supreme Court Senior Associate Justice Antonio Carpio,

24:47Escoda Shoal is important to protect

24:49because it is close to Recto Bank, which is rich in oil.

24:53June Veneracion reporting for GMA Integrated News.

24:58In Cagayan, De Oro City,

25:00the Philippine Coast Guard's position in an office of the government is caught in the act.

25:07The red part of the flagpole is at the top while the blue part is at the bottom.

25:12It was caught by Samut Saring Reaction Online.

25:15The explanation of the Bureau of Local Government Finance Region 10

25:19is that it is an honest mistake.

25:21One of their colleagues put the flagpole on the flagpole

25:24and it is not allowed to be flipped.

25:26The agency has already fixed it.

25:31Three Philippine mail-order brides were found at Mactan Cebu International Airport.

25:37On June 28, the Philippine couple went to the airport

25:40with the Chinese national, who he introduced as his wife.

25:45They were shown a marriage certificate from the Philippine Statistics Authority

25:49and a picture of their marriage.

25:51But when they joined the interview,

25:53their answer to the immigration officer did not match the documents.

25:58The woman admitted that a fixer filed a case against them in exchange of Php 17,500.

26:05The next day, the two Filipinos, who also have Chinese nationals, were also prevented.

26:10Just like the first case, they also introduced each other as husband and wife.

26:14They also have a marriage certificate but they were caught in the middle of the interview.

26:18They were turned over to the Interagency Council Against Trafficking.

26:22They were one of the people under the counseling,

26:24and they also asked for permission to sue their Chinese couriers.

26:32There are no secrets in Drew's trip this weekend.

26:36Even an underwater town,

26:38Oh, it's floating.

26:40Where is it?

26:45There is no secret that will not be revealed.

26:52A town in Nueva Ecija.

26:54It is said to be an underwater town because it is hidden under water.

26:58That cross is also submerged.

27:01It is submerged, sir.

27:03But in the 1970s, it was not on the map.

27:06Just like the old town of Pandabangan,

27:08there is a rumor that it will be submerged in their place.

27:12The rumor is that it is swimming,

27:14submerged in mud,

27:15estates,

27:16and water.

27:18The rumor is that it is swimming,

27:20submerged in mud,

27:21estates,

27:22and water.

27:26It has a different taste that becomes tastier.

27:30In every trip,

27:32there are places that you just pass by.

27:38But if you intend to go there,

27:40surely a lot will be revealed.

27:45And we will be told that

27:47there is something like that here.

27:50So, who will get 4,000?

27:52Who will get 1,000?

27:53We'll never know.

27:54Let's find out.

27:56We will not keep it a secret.

27:57In the town of Pandabangan in Nueva Ecija.

28:05Today is the preliminary investigation in the case of human trafficking

28:08against Suspended Bambang Tarlac Mayor Alice Guo,

28:10who is involved in illegal smuggling.

28:12For more information, let's talk to her lawyer,

28:15Atty. Stephen Davie.

28:16Good morning and welcome to Balitang Hali.

28:19Good morning to you,

28:20Sir Rafi and Ma'am Connie.

28:23First of all, how is your client today?

28:27Well, for now,

28:28his stress level is high

28:30because he has a lot of problems.

28:34But his health is fine.

28:37He will be able to attend the next hearings in the Senate.

28:41Hopefully.

28:42That's what I'm saying.

28:43But he will try.

28:44We don't know when his stress level will go down or go down.

28:51How did you prepare for the case of human trafficking against your client?

28:57We prepared a counter-affidavit.

29:01I believe that there is no basis for human trafficking.

29:09Have you verified the fingerprint comparison

29:13with other documents issued by the NBI against your client?

29:18Not yet.

29:19We have a process to verify that.

29:22First of all,

29:23if they think that the evidence against Mayor Alice Guo is strong,

29:29they will present it to the state.

29:31That's when we will know.

29:33That's when I will be able to confront the document,

29:36the duly executed ballot and where it came from.

29:40Right now,

29:41those documents are not yet visible on social media.

29:45It's hard to comment about that.

29:47But there will be a time when we will be able to confront that.

29:50If it's true, we will know the truth.

29:52But for now,

29:53it's premature for us to comment if those documents are true or not.

29:58Based on your last conversation with your client,

30:00what is his reaction to the evidence issued by the NBI

30:04against his brother?

30:07Of course,

30:08we are preparing for the court cases that we will face.

30:11More or less,

30:12those are the cases that they will file.

30:14For now,

30:15the ones that were filed are ombudsman and human trafficking.

30:21Of course,

30:22we are preparing for all of that.

30:24I don't know about his brothers.

30:26First of all,

30:27we haven't talked to his brothers.

30:30I don't know what his brothers are saying,

30:33if they are his real brothers or not.

30:35But did he react to you?

30:38What is his reaction to the news that was released?

30:43Of course.

30:44He said that his sister is his mother's sister.

30:48But the other news that was released,

30:52he didn't say anything.

30:54He didn't say anything about his sister.

30:57Will he accept it?

30:58His sister is his father's sister.

30:59Sorry.

31:00His sister is his father's sister.

31:03Will Mayor Goh accept the opportunity to reveal everything that he knows

31:07in exchange for a lower punishment?

31:09Did you talk to him about this?

31:12We didn't talk to him about this.

31:14Because if what you're saying, sir Rafi,

31:17is a state community,

31:20first of all,

31:21he cannot testify in POGOS.

31:24He's not involved in the POGOS operation.

31:27What can he say?

31:29With more reason, he doesn't know about human trafficking.

31:33How can he know?

31:35He's a mayor.

31:36He's not involved in that.

31:38Yes.

31:39Some people are saying that your client is a possible flight risk.

31:43What is your reaction to this?

31:46That's their opinion.

31:48We are all entitled to our own opinions.

31:50But if that's the case,

31:53he should have fled long time ago.

31:57Just like other POGOS operators they are looking for

32:01who are involved in Sun Yuen and Honchen.

32:05They were not able to find them.

32:09They tried to escape.

32:11He's not a flight risk.

32:14He's not a flight risk.

32:15That's why he's facing the Senate.

32:18But you're in constant communication with your client.

32:22He's ready to defend and defend what he said in the Senate.

32:28Yes, we talked yesterday.

32:36As of yesterday, you talked.

32:39We don't have a choice.

32:41I'm not ready to prepare.

32:44Does he have an accomplice?

32:46According to those who read this,

32:47the first hearing was about POGOS

32:50What is your reaction to his personality and question to his citizenship?

32:55You know, I met Mayor Andes in April.

32:58It's the first time I met him in April.

33:00The case that they brought to us,

33:03I know the case and we are handling it.

33:06The possibility that he might be involved in that POGOS operation,

33:10because POGOS is involved,

33:12POGOS is the investigation in the Senate and the Ombudsman cases.

33:16Now, we are wondering why the crusade against him became personal.

33:21Even to his family.

33:23What is the connection if there's illegal POGOS operation and human trafficking?

33:31What is the connection to his siblings who are allegedly connected to him?

33:37What is the connection to his citizenship that he's being questioned?

33:42It's too far from our issues.

33:46Just to be clear, it's not surprising that he's being questioned in the hearings in the Senate

33:50because as you said, he has a high stress level.

33:52Yes. Although I advised him to attend,

33:56but of course, I can't force him if his body can't take it.

34:01You know sir, he's experiencing a lot of trauma.

34:04Whether you can shout at the Senate, you're a mayor,

34:08it's like there's no hope.

34:10In the eyes of the Senate, in their eyes,

34:14the senators said that they're convinced that he's involved in this.

34:20He's not a resource person anymore.

34:23He's an accused.

34:25We have a conclusion that he's not a resource person anymore.

34:31Supposedly, he should be a resource person.

34:34Let's wait and see if he can attend the next hearings.

34:38Thank you very much for your time.

34:41Thank you.

34:43Thank you, Atty. Stephen David, lawyer of Mayor Alice Guo.

34:54That bullfighter was in cahoots with the authorities on a road in Santa Anita, Peru.

34:59Some people called the bullfighter and one of them was riding a bicycle.

35:03He caused a commotion on the road in the middle of the traffic.

35:06The bullfighter was first caught,

35:08then the police cornered him using their vehicles.

35:12The owner of the vehicle promised that he will answer the bullfighter's accusation.

35:18A truck fell on a road in North Luzon Expressway.

35:21While in Dagupan City, the bullfighter was caught using a food stall.

35:26Here's the hot news brought to you by Claire La Canilau-Dunca of GMA Regional TV.

35:33A video captured a man leaving a food strip in Dagupan City.

35:38Later, he picked up something from inside the food stall.

35:43Then, he put it in a trash can and a bag was found.

35:46He was accompanied by a woman.

35:49According to some of the stall's watchmen,

35:51on July 1, there were people missing in their store.

35:55From Punit, Trapal, someone was able to get a video of the actual location of the items.

36:00He was there at 3 a.m. I saw him and I told them.

36:07Soft drinks, bottled water and other items.

36:12According to the PNP, the owner of the stall and some of the people in the video talked.

36:17According to the suspects, they were hiding the items because they were exposed.

36:23Allegedly, when they were leaving, they saw the place where they were exposed.

36:28The owner was not there.

36:30They were concerned, so they took the items there to escape.

36:37Their purpose is that when the owner comes to them, they will fight.

36:42The other side of the scene was fixed and the missing items were returned.

36:47Three people were injured after a car was hit in Tigaon, Camarinesur.

36:53According to the driver of the police car, the handle was locked so he lost control of the car.

36:59Two tricycles and a pedicab were involved in the accident.

37:02They were parked on the side of the road.

37:04As soon as I saw them, I ran.

37:07I saw one of them with his eyes covered. He was unconscious.

37:13There were three of them, all of them were unconscious.

37:17I don't know what happened. We just reached the hospital.

37:26The driver of the car and the injured people are now recovering.

37:30The driver responded to the victims.

37:34An 18-wheel truck fell on the side of the North Luzon Expressway northbound in San Fernando, Pampanga.

37:42According to the investigation of the police, the 18-wheeler was supposed to overtake,

37:47but it was in danger due to the collision of the vehicle.

37:50The driver suddenly hit the back of the next 22-wheeler.

37:55The reason was that the truck fell on the side of the road and the truck fell on the side of the expressway.

38:00It hit the position of the electricity.

38:02An SUV was just about to arrive and it hit the wires of the electricity.

38:06Both the driver of the 22-wheeler and the SUV were saved

38:10while the driver of the accident 18-wheeler who was injured responded to the hospital.

38:15He was in good condition but he was still unconscious.

38:18We always remind our motorists that when they drive on the NLEX,

38:25they should be aware because it won't speed up.

38:30Considering that their vehicle is a big truck, they shouldn't overtake in an unclear way.

38:36Claire La Canelao-Dunca of Jimmy Regional TV is reporting for Jimmy Integrated News.

38:43It is said that there is money in the garbage, but in Batangas, there is rice in exchange for the garbage.

38:50That is the plastic rice exchange program of an environmental group in the town of Mabini.

38:54Every sack of plastic garbage that can be used to clean the beach will be exchanged for a kilo of rice.

39:00It is said to be a big help to the residents who are having a hard time with the budget for rice.

39:05That is why they each get their own sacks and collect a lot of plastic garbage.

39:10The fund came from private donors and some companies that are far from being taken care of by our oceans.

39:16According to the 2022 report of the Our World in Data Project of the University of Oxford,

39:22the Philippines is the biggest contributor of plastic waste in the oceans worldwide.

39:32Beyoncé's new reveal wax figure was discussed online in a museum in Paris, France.

39:40Some netizens said that the complexion or color of the wax figure is far from the skin color of Queen B.

39:46Before the controversy, the relations manager of Grieva Museum said that

39:50they did not have a chance to meet Beyoncé while making the wax figure.

39:56Within more than six months, only a few pictures of the superstar became their basis.

40:01Beyoncé or Grieva Museum has not yet released anything about the wax figure.

40:09Those who love art can also help those who are sick and cannot afford to go to the opera because of lack of money.

40:16They are the ones who want to help the Philippine College of Surgeons

40:20that opened an opera art exhibit at the Pinto Art Museum in Antipolo, Rizal.

40:25Various works such as paintings and sculptures are displayed there.

40:30Some of them were made by the surgeons themselves.

40:33You can see and buy the works in the opera art exhibit until July 14.

40:40The government started selling 29 pesos per kilo of rice today.

40:45But you can only buy a limited quantity.

40:47Let's talk to the reporter on the spot, Mackie Pulido.

40:51Mackie.

40:56You know, Rafi, there are 10 sites like this in the whole Metro Manila

41:00that are selling 29 pesos per kilo of rice.

41:05What they are selling here are old stocks of the National Food Authority but of high quality.

41:11They cooked a sample here to show the quality of the rice.

41:16Only senior citizens, PWD, single mothers, and four Ps can buy.

41:21Each beneficiary is only 5 kilos.

41:24According to the Bureau of Plant Director, Glenn Panganiban,

41:27you can buy again but you should be able to buy everything before the second round.

41:31That's why they registered first before buying the rice.

41:34They will input the names on the computer and from tomorrow,

41:38on the registration, you will know if you were able to buy the rice or not.

41:425,000 kilos of stock is available on each of the 10 sites.

41:47The target to be rationed is 1,000 residents.

41:51According to DA Undersecretary Jerome Oliveros,

41:54the target for the next few months is to allocate 10 kilos for each to be bought.

42:00Those we talked to said that of course, this is a big help for a few days,

42:05especially that the rice is very expensive now, that's why they are saving their food.

42:10But hopefully, this is the normal price of rice and they don't need to wait

42:15and go to the stores to buy cheap rice.

42:20The number of people who will buy from Kadiwa Stores in Barangay Basra in Quezon City

42:25has already started to decrease to buy 29 pesos worth of rice.

42:28The staff will also continue to buy from another Kadiwa Store in Barangay Fortune in Marikina

42:33because the number of people who bought 29 pesos worth of rice is already increasing.

42:39As of now, as I mentioned, only 10 Kadiwa Stores are selling this kind of cheap rice.

42:45This is just a pilot program but the target is to make 200 Kadiwa Sites nationwide.

42:52Raffy?

42:53Thank you very much Macky Pulido.

42:57Let's update on the missing beauty pageant contestant and her Israeli boyfriend.

43:03Let's talk to Oscar Oida on the spot. Oscar.

43:07Connie, the NBI is targeting the anti-organized crime petition of the missing beauty contestant

43:14Geneva Lopez and Israeli National, Yitzhak Cohen.

43:18We had the opportunity to talk to Yitzhak's brother, Yaniv Cohen.

43:24According to him, he appreciates everything the Filipino enforcement is doing to find his brother.

43:30They are praying that this case will be resolved as soon as possible so they will know what happened to his brother.

43:38Before Yitzhak's disappearance, he did not tell them any information to be a reason for them to worry about his brother's safety.

43:48He is also calling on everyone who may have information that can help in finding his brother, to approach the authorities.

44:00We really appreciate everything that the Filipino law enforcement is doing for us.

44:06We're really looking forward to all the help and support to find my brother as soon as possible.

44:13He didn't show any worry. I guess that's because he was feeling very comfortable. He didn't feel really threatened.

44:22Meanwhile, just a few minutes ago Connie, the brothers of the missing beauty contestant were released from the NBI's Anti-Organized Crime Division.

44:34The NBI will do everything to help in finding the missing beauty contestant.

44:42Thank you very much Oscar Oida.

44:46Meanwhile, happy weekend to all of us. This is Balitang Halib. We are part of a bigger mission.
