00:00Let's be together in Saksi!
00:16New in Saksi, different types of fireworks were found in a house that was burned in Barangay Paltok, Quezon City.
00:23Aside from that, a fire broke out in a part of Metro Manila within the past 24 hours.
00:28Saksi, this is Katrina Son.
00:33This house was engulfed by a thick smoke in a fire that broke out in Barangay Paltok, Quezon City
00:39just before 12 o'clock this morning.
00:41Residents heard gunshots and saw that the house was on fire.
00:47When the gunshot was heard, we immediately ran because the house was on fire.
00:52As far as they know, no one lived in the house that was engulfed by the smoke.
00:56It was just a pile of fireworks.
01:00How did you know?
01:01We're just from around here.
01:04At 12.25, the house was declared on fire when it reached the first alarm.
01:08Different types of fireworks were found inside.
01:11We got some firecrackers.
01:14Until now, there are still firecrackers inside.
01:19When I arrived, there were firecrackers.
01:23In the initial investigation of the BFP, the fire broke out on the first floor.
01:28When the fire broke out and we heard the firecrackers,
01:32we just calmed down and found out what was inside the house.
01:38But we saw a few firecrackers.
01:43The owner of the house is yet to be identified.
01:45Again, I am reminding the Bureau of Fire Protection.
01:48The firing, shooting, buying and using of weapons are prohibited by the Bureau of Fire Protection.
01:54For JIMEI Integrated News, Katrina Son, your witness.
02:00A man was arrested after a woman who was waiting for a car hit him.
02:06The suspect was also hit by a traffic enforcer while being arrested.
02:11Here is the last incident witnessed by Niko Sarengo.
02:18This man was lying on the street while being arrested by traffic enforcers in Mandaue City, Cebu.
02:25It seems that he was tied up by one of the enforcers until...
02:32According to the Traffic Enforcement Agency of the city,
02:35the man was arrested after he suddenly hit a woman who was waiting for a car.
02:42At that time, there was a woman who was driving a van.
02:49She was driving a van.
02:52Before she got in the car, she hit him.
02:56When the people of the Mandaue City Traffic Management Agency responded,
03:01the man suddenly ran away and tried to escape.
03:05That's when the man hit the team leader in the face.
03:09That's why the enforcer responded.
03:11The responding traffic enforcer got a bruise on his face.
03:15He went back to work after being checked up.
03:18The man is now in the custody of the police.
03:22He was also hit by an unlawful complaint.
03:25The suspects in the incident have not yet been released.
03:28For GMA Integrated News, I am Nico Sereno of GMA Regional TV, your witness.
03:37President Bobo Marcos is studying the return of more than P11.5 billion pesos
03:42that was allocated to the budget of the DEPEDS in the 2025 national budget
03:46that was approved by the Congress.
03:48According to the GMA Integrated News Research,
03:51the budget of the DPWH is bigger than that of the education sector.
03:56And according to a former senator, that is against the law.
04:00Our witness is Jonathan Andar.
04:06After the allocation of more than P11.5 billion pesos,
04:09the budget of the DEPEDS in the approved budget of the Bicameral Conference Committee
04:14was dismissed by the Education Secretary, Sunny Angara.
04:17P10 billion pesos were allocated for the 2025 computerization program.
04:23President Bobo Marcos said that he will find a way to return this amount.
04:28I think it is contrary to all our policy direction.
04:32When we talk about the STEM development of our educational sector
04:40and then to the continuing development.
04:45Because the lost P10 billion comes from the computerization,
04:50computerization item.
04:52So we're working on it to make sure that we will restore it.
04:58The insertion or addition of P10 billion pesos to the DPWH's fund
05:04that amounted to more than P288 billion pesos
05:08that was allocated to the budget of the Bicameral Conference Committee
05:11to become more than P1 trillion pesos.
05:14We will look into the insertions in the public works
05:20and see which ones are absolutely necessary.
05:23And maybe we will see if the others are really critical.
05:30We'll see.
05:31Public works is still going to be one of the top recipients of budget.
05:37Because we are doing a lot.
05:39We have big projects that we have to put in place.
05:41Infrastructure is important.
05:44And don't forget flood control.
05:46It became such a big, big part of the work of the Department of Public Works.
05:54In favor of GMA Integrated News Research,
05:57aside from DEPED, the fund was also allocated to other sectors of education.
06:01For example, the Chedok Commission on Higher Education,
06:04almost half of it was allocated.
06:06From P60 billion pesos, it was reduced to P33 billion pesos.
06:10The UPO, University of the Philippine System,
06:12was reduced to P641 million pesos.
06:15Even the TESDA, or Technical Education and Skills Development Authority,
06:19was also reduced to P1.1 billion pesos.
06:22Under the 1987 Constitution,
06:25the education sector should have the highest priority in the budget.
06:29But former Senator Ping Lakson said,
06:31the Bicam made a mistake here.
06:33In doing so, DPWH got the highest budget priority
06:38and not DEPED, SUC, CHED, and TESDA.
06:42But Congressman Jefferson said,
06:44even if DEPED was allocated,
06:46the fund of the education sector is still bigger.
06:49If you combine the budget of the Department of Education,
06:54CHED, SUCs, and TESDA,
06:59the budget of the government is still bigger than the budget of the Department of Education.
07:06That's why we need to look at it in totality,
07:11what the government is giving as a fund.
07:18But in the competition of GME Integrated News Research,
07:22even if the fund of all those in the education sector
07:26includes other educational institutions,
07:29it is still lower than the budget of DPWH.
07:33Senator Grace, the Chair of the Senate Finance Committee,
07:36said that they are just giving the power of the President to the budget.
07:39The education sector is still a priority.
07:42They raised the budget for students and teachers.
07:45In a separate statement, he also said that
07:47the budget was doubled for the Teaching Supplies Allowance.
07:50In an evaluation by the Commission on Audit,
07:53only 50% of the 2023 budget for the computerization program was used.
07:59That's why the delays in procurement and other problems should be fixed before the budget is raised.
08:04Angara also said that the utilization rate of the computerization program was increased.
08:08The utilization rate of the computerization program is 90 plus percent.
08:12We know that it was a problem in the DepEd.
08:17So now, we are really increasing it.
08:19Senator Migzubiri said that President Marcos can tell the BICAM
08:24to meet again to fix the budget.
08:26It's possible. We did that for the Coco Levy Fund.
08:29We did that for the Agriculturalist.
08:31The Anti-Smuggling Act, the BICAM report was revoked to fix it.
08:39We can do overtime for our countrymen.
08:42That's the budget. That's the most important evaluation.
08:46Panukala for GMA Integrated News, Jonathan Andal is your witness.
08:52Some congressmen planned to raise P17 billion
08:55that was added by the Bicameral Conference Committee
08:58in the Panukala Budget for the Camera in 2025.
09:02Congressman Jude Acidre said that a lot of things need to be fixed in the facilities of the camera.
09:08He said that more than 300 congressmen need to be hired
09:12to improve the facilities of the committee meetings.
09:15Senate Finance Committee Chairperson Grace Poe said
09:19that the BICAM insertion of P1 billion was not added to the Panukala Fund of the Senate.
09:25She said that the increased salary of government employees this year
09:31as well as the increasing operational expenses and rental costs of the Senate were all planned.
09:37A woman and her two children were shot in Talisay City, Cebu.
09:43Their father-in-law was shot.
09:47Witness, Allan Domingo of GMA Regional TV.
09:54A 60-year-old mother and her two children were shot in Talisay City, Cebu.
10:03This was done by their father of the family.
10:07It was past six in the morning when the family was preparing breakfast
10:12when the suspect, a retired seaman, arrived.
10:16He suddenly shot the wife who was hit in the right shoulder.
10:20Then he shot the daughter, a woman, who was lying on the ground.
10:24My initial instinct was to run away to hide.
10:29I ran away because I heard the gunshots.
10:33I ran away because I heard the gunshots.
10:36The father also shot the son of the man who was hit in the face.
10:41In spite of this, he was able to make a bonfire for his father
10:46when he stole the gun and threw it away.
10:50Tragic and then traumatic for my father, especially for me and my sister.
10:55As a witness, I can say that this is the first time
11:00that I have seen a mother who was shot by a firearm.
11:11Their father was shot in the chest and fell.
11:15The residents came and tried to save him, but they were shot.
11:20According to the children, their family's relationship ended
11:24when the father retired from his job as a ship captain
11:27and their mother suffered from stage 4 cancer.
11:32Their father also got sick and the son of the man was shot,
11:37but he was forgiven and not imprisoned.
11:41I feel sorry for the many people who are willing to share their stories,
11:47their problems, their childhood experiences.
11:51That's why I feel sorry for them.
11:53I lost that opportunity the moment I stopped talking to him.
11:57I feel so sorry for them.
12:01According to the police, they are still investigating the incident.
12:06We are not yet saying that the case is closed.
12:08We are investigating for the sake of truth, about the facts and circumstances
12:13of what really happened when our suspect died
12:18and at the same time, when our victims were wounded.
12:21A tricycle driver was also killed after he was shot
12:25on the side of the road in Barangay Ginés in Zaraga, Iloilo.
12:29The suspect is the chief of the barangay.
12:32According to the Zaraga Police,
12:34they were also involved in the Christmas party of the Association of Tricycle Drivers and Operators
12:40where the victim is a member.
12:43But the two of them had a heated discussion
12:47when the victim's words hurt the suspect.
12:51Our suspect was first arrested when he took up arms
12:57and he was waiting here on the highway near our barangay.
13:01The victim was taken to the hospital but he was brought back to life
13:04because he was hit by a bullet in his chest.
13:07The suspect was last arrested in the hot force of the operation.
13:10His defense was that he was insulted by the victim.
13:14He was chased away by the victim
13:17and he was trapped in the middle of the road until he joined the shooting.
13:22I was taken to the hospital.
13:28We were all arrested and taken to the hospital.
13:32We were arrested and taken to the hospital.
13:36The police recovered a homemade, clock-gauge shotgun
13:40that the suspect claimed to own.
13:44A security guard was also rushed to the hospital in Cagayan de Oro City.
13:49According to the police, the traffic police conducted an investigation
13:54when the security guard with a knife suddenly appeared.
13:58The police ran away but the security guard chased him away
14:02so he was shot by the police on his way back.
14:05The security guard was rushed to the hospital.
14:08The suspect was taken to the hospital.
14:10He was taken to the hospital.
14:12He was taken to the hospital.
14:16The police who were shot were also in restrictive custody
14:20while the investigation continued.
14:22For GMA Integrated News, I am Allan Domingo of GMA Regional TV.
14:28Good bye!
14:31President Bambang Marcos has no problem
14:34with the removal of P75 billion subsidy from PhilHealth
14:38in the BICAM version of the 2025 National Budget.
14:41According to the President, PhilHealth has P500 billion in reserve funds
14:46and if a subsidy is given,
14:49the funds can only be used for other needs.
14:54PhilHealth's problem is not the funds,
14:57but the system of their process of claims.
15:01According to the Department of Health,
15:03even if PhilHealth does not have a subsidy,
15:05it still has a P150 billion surplus from the budget last year.
15:13Because the truth is,
15:16if you look at it, the Department of Finance changed
15:21the amount of reserve that was left
15:25because it was not used for many years.
15:28In other words, PhilHealth has sufficient budget
15:32to do all of the things that they want to do.
