00:00The Malabon and Botas are twice as prepared for the flood.
00:04The floodgate is not yet fixed, so a discarder has been placed
00:08so that the flood won't affect the students.
00:12Marisol and Doraman are the witnesses.
00:17The sun is shining brightly, but the flood in this area has changed Malabon.
00:22The Malabon-Botas River floodgate is still broken,
00:25which should have been blocked by high tide water.
00:28But what to do if it's already raining and the students have to go to school?
00:33The employees of Dampalit Integrated School, even though they are used to the flood,
00:37are always up to date with the news and announcements of the LGU.
00:41We also hope that the announcement of the LGU will be made earlier
00:49so that the children and parents can be informed as soon as possible.
00:56That's why the Malabon City is well-prepared for the rain and the opening of classes.
01:02The City Hall will make an effort to catch the suspension of classes if necessary.
01:07We have new flood sensors under the bridges and in the waterways.
01:14We already have announcements in the morning before 4am.
01:19We won't be able to let the children in before we have the monitors.
01:26Even though the elementary school in Novotas is also affected by the flood,
01:30sometimes they experience the heavy rain.
01:33That's why the school has made their own pumping station.
01:37The only moment I can open it is when it's really raining.
01:44That's why I open it when it's raining.
01:49The water that is being pumped will go through this tube.
01:54This is what we can see coming out of it.
01:58Sir, where will it go?
02:01It will go to the sea and the river.
02:05The school is also ensuring that their classrooms are in good condition.
02:09All of our buildings are almost new.
02:12They don't have pipes. It's hard to get in.
02:16Aside from the pumping station, another remedy that the school has done against flooding is
02:21to elevate this part of the school.
02:23If you notice, it's higher than the ground.
02:27So if you flood the school, the children can go straight to their classrooms.
02:33For GMA Integrated News, Marisol Abduraman is your witness.
02:44This morning, her lawyer, Alice Guo, spoke to us.
02:48But Attorney Stephen David said,
02:50this probably won't lead to the hearing of the Senate on Wednesday.
02:54According to POGO, the mayor is traumatized from the hundreds of hearings.
03:00When I talked to him, he said,
03:02it's like he can't do it because of the trauma he's experiencing.
03:06He's been through a lot of allegations against him.
03:10And he's still shouting there. His stress level is too high.
03:14Senator Riza Ontiveros and Sherwin Gatchalian said that
03:19if Guo won't attend, he can be contempted and arrested by the Senate.
03:25According to David, there are drugs that Guo is taking.
03:29However, he doesn't have a medical certificate.
03:45Where is Guo?
03:47According to the Office of the Senate Sergeant-at-Arms,
03:50they were supposed to serve Guo.
03:53They found out from the owner of this farm in Tarlac
03:56that the mayor hasn't been there for a few weeks.
03:59In a letter dated July 4,
04:01it was stated that the mayor, his siblings and parents were not allowed to serve on the farm.
04:06But they left a copy in case Guo will visit there.
04:11The people of the Sergeant-at-Arms also went to the municipality of Banban
04:15to talk to Guo's personal assistant,
04:18but he refused to accept the copy.
04:21They also left a copy of the copy there.
04:24Guo's lawyer accepted the copy,
04:27but it was clear that Guo is just their client.
04:31According to Attorney David,
04:33they will wait for the cases to be filed in court against Guo.
04:37Senator Riza Ontiveros' reaction is that
04:40the mayor should first think about the safety of his lie and deception to the Senate.
04:47Not only is Guo untraumatized,
04:50but also the human trafficking victims,
04:52the Taiwanese and Filipinos who were forced to work in the Pogos Camp compound.
04:57Even the Filipino citizen is traumatized
05:00that there is a Chinese national who became the mayor of the Philippines.
05:04Ontiveros also said that it is important to talk about mental health,
05:08but Guo cannot use it to escape responsibility, especially since he is a public servant.
05:15He tried to avoid listening to it because the truth will give him peace of mind.
05:22Cominec Chairman George Erwin Garcia ordered the Cominec Legal Department
05:27to form a fact-finding committee to investigate if Mayor Guo was right
05:32when he filed a Certificate of Candidacy for the 2022 elections.
05:37The legal department also asked the NBI,
05:40Office of the Solicitor General, and the Senate Committee
05:43to investigate the documents containing Guo's fingerprints for the possible filing of the case.
05:51For GMA Integrated News, I'm Sandra Aguinaldo, your witness.
06:01Almost half of Filipinos who answered a survey believe that their lives will be better in the coming months.
06:08And many also said that nothing will change.
06:11This was brought to light by EJ Gomez.
06:19Almost 44% of Filipinos believe that their lives will be better in the next 12 months,
06:28according to the latest survey by the Social Weather Station, or SWS.
06:32But some of our countrymen did not believe what we said because of the high prices.
06:41The price of oil will rise again in the next four weeks.
06:47One peso and 60 centavos will be increased per liter of gasoline,
06:5165 centavos per liter of diesel,
06:54and 60 centavos per liter of kerosene.
06:57Based on the data collected by GMA Integrated News Research,
07:00in total, 10 pesos and 85 centavos will be increased per liter of gasoline this year.
07:069 pesos and 5 centavos will be increased per liter of diesel.
07:10This is heavy for many, including the price of other goods and services.
07:16Despite this and other problems,
07:1844% of Filipinos aged 18 and above said that their lives will be better in the next 12 months,
07:27according to the survey by the Social Weather Station, or SWS.
07:3144% also said that their lives will not change.
07:367% believed that their lives will be worse in the next 12 months,
07:43while 6% did not agree with the survey.
07:46Bibian said,
07:47I really don't believe it.
07:50Because if the wages of the workers will increase,
07:55and if the price of goods will go down,
07:59I believe that our lives will be better.
08:03On Saturdays, she said that her salary is almost running out.
08:07If only people will work now,
08:09instead of buying 5 kilos of rice,
08:12they will just buy 3 kilos of rice.
08:14After 10 days,
08:16they will no longer have debts in the store.
08:18How will your life be better?
08:20The reason why Hilbert does not believe that her life will be better
08:26in the next months,
08:27despite entering any job.
08:31Carpenters, carpenters, carpenters,
08:33tatailors,
08:34everything is expensive to buy.
08:39And my income is not enough.
08:44It's not enough for daily expenses.
08:47This is also the feeling of 61-year-old Tatay Leonilo.
08:51Even if he wants to retire as a carpenter,
08:54he cannot do it.
08:56I still don't believe it.
08:58It's hard.
08:59It's hard.
09:00If you don't work,
09:01you will not live.
09:02He just remembers that there is no rest in the poverty of life.
09:07We also asked the online carpenters
09:09what they think will be the quality of their lives in the next 12 months.
09:14One answer,
09:15the quality of life of those who work hard will be better.
09:19Another said,
09:20he will save money after 12 months
09:23and he will be able to do business when he returns to the Philippines.
09:26Another answer,
09:28even if they are not lazy and ambitious,
09:30it's hard for them to earn money.
09:34No matter what they do,
09:36nothing will change
09:38as long as the prices are high
09:40and the electricity bill is high.
09:42That's also one of the problems.
09:44So he believes,
09:46the state of their lives will be more difficult.
09:49Hilbert and Bibian have a call to the government.
09:52They will lower the prices
09:55so that our countrymen and us will have a better life.
10:00Raise the price of coal.
10:03Lower the price of buying.
10:06I'm sure,
10:07one hundred percent,
10:08our lives will be better.
10:15Pia,
10:16earlier,
10:17the arrival of vehicles,
10:20motorists,
10:21carrying diesel and gas,
10:23because of the expected oil price hike starting tomorrow.
