00:005,404 people have already received the Certificate of Candidacy
00:06according to the preliminary report of COMELEC before 8 p.m. tonight.
00:10COMELEC said that more senatorial aspirants could enter the ballot in the election of 2025.
00:16Witness, Cassandra Aguinaldo.
00:21No one has won yet, but it looks like there's a celebration.
00:24Some supporters of the candidates are all out.
00:29They went to the Quilino Grandstand.
00:31Yes, we support them. We will not give up on them.
00:36So that we can also help them. So that we can also be helped.
00:41The Philippine Marine Corps added strength to the 400 policemen in Manila
00:46who are guarding the Manila Hotel.
00:48Among those who want to be alone in the 12-slot Senate,
00:52the first one to eat COC today was Victoriano Inte,
00:56who ran for the national position.
00:59Next is the re-electionist Senator Aimee Marcos,
01:02who was accompanied by his mother, the former First Lady Imelda Marcos.
01:06She announced that she is independent, but the party she put in the COC is a nationalist.
01:11The former Senate President Tito Soto also has a target to return to the Senate.
01:18The former Senator Ping Lakson also did the same.
01:21At the same time, the re-electionist Senator Lito Lapid also arrived.
01:26Erick Negapatan, who introduced him as an engineer and building contractor,
01:31is also eager to become a Senator.
01:33And Magno Manalo, who introduced him as a pastor and a security guard.
01:38Betsaida Lopez ate this three times.
01:43He is emotional in front of the media because he is always declared a nuisance.
01:51Manuel Andrada filed the COC twice.
01:56The Army Reservist, Johnrey Gargarita, also filed.
02:01Comelec said that it is possible that more Senators will qualify,
02:06but the legal department will still file the COC within five days.
02:13Under the Omnibus Election Code,
02:15a person who filed the COC may be declared a nuisance candidate
02:20to delay the election process or cause confusion.
02:24For example, if the name is similar,
02:27and if there is no real intention to run,
02:30the person who filed the COC is in a particular position.
02:33Comelec also said that the Supreme Court has two new rulings
02:37that will restrict the declaration of nuisance of an aspirant.
02:42The Supreme Court said that a person cannot be declared a nuisance candidate
02:46because he does not have the financial capacity to launch a nationwide campaign.
02:51In the second decision of the Supreme Court,
02:53the reason was removed that because you are not familiar with the society
02:57or you do not have a political party,
02:59you will automatically be declared a nuisance candidate.
03:02There are 11 party lists that filed the Certificate of Nomination
03:06and Certificate of Acceptance of Nomination today.
03:10Among those nominated yesterday,
03:12there are already 26 party lists that have been filed.
03:17As for the voters in the M-Bubarangay,
03:21which was previously occupied by Makati and transferred to Jurisdiction Taguig,
03:25their congressmen and councilors will be able to choose
03:29based on the resolution issued by Comelec and Bank.
03:33The voters from Kumembo, Pembo, and Rizal will vote in the first district of Taguig.
03:38And in the second district of Taguig, the M-Bubarangay will be occupied.
03:43It will be based on the concurrent resolution of the Senate and the House of Representatives.
03:48For GMA Integrated News, Sandra Aguinaldo is your witness.
03:54Three people were killed in Ilocos Norte due to the storm.
03:58In Mindanao, many places were flooded due to no rain due to the Easter Leaks.
04:04Joseph Moro is your witness.
04:11Almost nothing can be seen in Paligli due to the strong winds in different parts of Batanes
04:16due to the strong taste of the storm on Monday.
04:21A resident in Barangay Sinakan in the town of Sabtang
04:24did not hesitate to remove the cut-off branches due to the heavy rain on the road.
04:31Some boats were towed away so that the strong waves would not be damaged.
04:35But after the storm, the left-behind branches might be around.
04:39Many trees fell, even some houses of branches, like this one,
04:44which still has no roots.
04:46In other parts of the province, Mudslide and Rockslide is the continuation
04:50that can be experienced even if the storm is far away.
04:53The affected areas are being cleaned up.
04:55Due to the left-behind branches of the storm, the entire Batanes was submerged in a state of calamity.
05:01According to Capitolio, there are more than P600 million branches of the storm in the province.
05:07According to Pag-asa, the storm hit the so-called eyewall of Batanes
05:12where thunderstorms are also present, which are caused by strong winds and rain.
05:18But they can breathe now because the storm that hit Hulian did not happen today.
05:23It recurved to Taiwan.
05:25Although it is Taiwan, the storm that hit Hulian is still being taken care of by Pag-asa,
05:30the people of Batanes and Babuyon Island,
05:32because it is still possible to experience rain due to its rain band.
05:37In Ilocos Norte, a senior citizen was rescued after being drowned in the flood due to the storm.
05:42My relatives went there, but they were told that the water level was going down.
05:49The water was really flowing.
05:51He might not be able to go there.
05:54Someone was also trapped inside the city because of a heart attack while in the evacuation center.
06:00According to the CDRM, the victim is being treated for the illness before the storm hits Hulian.
06:05Because of the flooding, they have to be evacuated to a safer place.
06:11That's why we went to the evacuation center and then we opted to go to the hospital.
06:18Under the monitoring of the PDRMO, the flood reached many places in the province.
06:23The entire 1,076 families were also able to return from the evacuation center.
06:30They also experienced bad weather and flooding in some places in Mindanao.
06:34Like the National Highway in Datu Abdullah Sangki, in Mindanao del Sur, where the sea level has already dropped.
06:40Some vehicles were stranded because the water level was too high.
06:44That area is Talungan and Ampalayan.
06:47It's like you can't see anything at this moment.
06:51In the town of Ampatuan, the houses were submerged in the water due to the constant rain.
06:57One team in the National Highway was able to rescue the stranded people.
07:04Because of the deep flood, some residents were evacuated to Barangay Kamasi.
07:10In the same town, a family was trapped in their house due to the heavy rain.
07:16Aside from Mindanao, some houses were also flooded in Digo City, Davao del Sur.
07:21According to the forecast, it won't be a typhoon but an easterly storm that will affect a large part of Mindanao.
07:27For GMA Integrated News, Joseph Morong is your witness.
07:32The typhoon Kraton, which passed through the Philippines as a typhoon Hulian,
07:36has been in Taiwan for hours now.
07:39As a precaution, thousands of residents were evacuated.
07:42School and offices were also canceled early.
07:46Flights were also canceled.
07:48Even though the typhoon subsided, the storm surge continues.
07:52The wind and rain are strong.
07:54According to the fire department, one person was injured after falling from a tree.
07:58Two people were lost and 70 were injured.
08:04Digital services from foreign or foreign provider.
08:07There are already 12% VAT or value-added tax.
08:10According to the law passed by President Marcos,
08:13aside from online streaming and digital goods,
08:16search engines, online marketplaces, and cloud services will be taxed.
08:21Education services such as online courses and webinars will not be taxed.
08:26According to the President, aside from the law on taxing,
08:30local digital service providers will also be taxed.
08:34Digital service providers may increase their sales according to the BIR,
08:38but this is only late.
08:39BIR may block providers that will not follow.
08:43The government is hoping that from this VAT,
08:46P100 billion will be transferred in the next five years.
08:52Those involved in the 2020 assassination of former PCSO Board Secretary Wesley Barayuga
08:57should be investigated by the Justice Department,
08:59according to the lead chairman of the House Quadcom,
09:01who is in the circle of the Northern Representative Ace Barbers.
09:04He should not hesitate to end the investigation
09:07in order to file a complaint of murder
09:09against former PCSO Chair Roy Inagarma,
09:14former CIDG Davao Region Director,
09:16and now Napalcong Commissioner Edelberto Leonardo.
09:19Both are in the circle of the Northern Representative Ace Barbers.
09:22Those who were arrested by Barayuga are fully grateful to the Quadcom
09:25and believe that this is the way of God
09:28for justice to be served and for Barayuga's name to be cleared
09:32for his involvement in illegal drugs.
09:34For GMA Integrated News, Ivan Mejrina for Saksi.
09:40Due to the recovery of the export ban on rice in India,
09:43rice is expected to be cheaper this Christmas, according to the Agriculture Department.
09:47Saksi, by Bernadette Reyes.
09:53The price of imported rice increased in this place of Oliver in Quezon City
09:58when the export ban was lifted in India in July 2023.
10:02When the market closed there,
10:05we used to sell rice at a retail price of P65 per kilo.
10:09Our business capital was also affected.
10:12But the ban was lifted by India.
10:14This will help in reducing the price of rice,
10:17even if the percentage of rice imported by the Philippines from India is smaller
10:21compared to Vietnam and Thailand.
10:23The price of rice will be free up and more people will be able to trade all over the world.
10:29Indian rice is also cheaper compared to Vietnam.
10:33The price of international rice can drive.
10:38According to the Department of Agriculture,
10:40aside from the increase of supplies in the international market,
10:43India is now open to export.
10:45This will also help to lower the price of rice in the country.
10:48In a moment, we will feel the effect of Executive Order No. 62
10:52where the tariff on imported rice was lowered by 15%.
10:56It's really slow.
10:58Imagine, we were coming from P55 to P52, P50.
11:03Now, we have seen P42 to P45.
11:06That's big.
11:07That's a very significant change in the drop in the price of rice.
11:11But we're still expecting that it can still go down.
11:13The effect of leaving India on the rice export ban will not be felt immediately.
11:18But it is possible that rice will become cheaper this Christmas.
11:22It will last for another month.
11:24They will be able to save this Christmas time, this very month.
11:27Agri-Products will also monitor the markets
11:30so that no one will be left out,
11:32just like what happened to the millions of kilos of rice once.
11:35There will be no over-stay-ins.
11:38It's better to enter and exit the containers
11:42that contain agricultural commodities.
11:45More than 500 containers will be exported.
11:48There is another container that will last for almost 300 days in Manila South Harbor.
11:53According to the PTA, the terminal operator said that it will be endorsed by the BOC.
11:58For GMA Integrated News, Bernadette Reyes, your Saksi.
12:04Kapuso, it's the 84th day before Christmas.
12:07The patrols have already started.

12:37made of colorful plastic and bamboo.
12:40This simple colorful stall
12:42is often seen in barangays.
12:45Just a month before May, it has already started.
12:48Nanay Elvie has been making stalls since 1969.
12:52It's because the Filipinos are traditional, right?
12:56It's ugly, but it's still beautiful.
12:5940 pesos to 250 pesos is the current price for this kind of stall,
13:04depending on the size.
13:05If you want it to have lights,
13:07just add 100 pesos.
13:10The price of some materials is expensive.
13:13The materials are expensive.
13:15Think about it.
13:16This is 120 pesos, now it's 770 pesos.
13:18The stalls in this place are made of bamboo.
13:211,500 pesos to 5,000 pesos is the price for the bamboo stalls.
13:28LED lights are also used in these stalls
13:31to last longer.
13:33The cost of LED lights is also good.
13:37It lasts longer.
