00:00To reduce the number of women with cervical cancer,
00:06the health department is now planning a vaccine against human papilloma virus or HPV.
00:14It will be rolled out in schools and targeted to all young women.
00:21Ian Cruz is on the news.
00:23Every January, the World Health Organization holds the Cervical Cancer Awareness Month.
00:33Cervical cancer is the third type of cancer that often affects women.
00:39In the latest report of the International Agency for Research on Cancer of the WHO,
00:44the number of women affected by cervical cancer is 8,549.
00:50Almost half of them died in 2022.
00:54Among those who died of cervical cancer a few years ago,
00:58is Maricel's 27-year-old cousin.
01:02It's a pity, especially my cousin. She has a son who died when she was young.
01:06According to the WHO, 95% of cervical cancer cases are due to human papilloma virus.
01:14It's a type of sexually transmitted infection that is caused by skin-to-skin contact and intercourse.
01:21There are some cases of HPV that disappear even without symptoms and medication.
01:26But there are also cases that lead to cancer.
01:30To avoid that, HPV vaccines are prescribed while they are still young.
01:37So before it becomes sexually active, it should be given already.
01:41And we estimate that the best age for that is around 9 years old.
01:45It doesn't mean that it can't be given later in life.
01:48There are also cases like that.
01:49But for preventive measures, the best age is at that age.
01:53Now, the Department of Health is planning the rollout of vaccines that will start in the second quarter.
01:59HPV vaccination is expensive.
02:014,000 per dose, 2 doses, 8,000 per 9-year-old girl.
02:07The President has already told me for 2025.
02:10For 2025, we can vaccinate all Filipino girls.
02:13And the effect of that is cervical cancer will disappear.
02:16The Department of Education will be the host of the DOH program
02:20because schools will be doing the vaccination.
02:23As of January 6, more than half a million female grade 4 students have been given the first dose of HPV
02:30in the school-based immunization program.
02:33The target is to increase the number of almost a million grade 4 students in public education only.
02:40Those in private schools are not included.
02:43They will also be given free 2 doses of HPV vaccine
02:47with a 6-month gap of vaccination.
02:50This is also voluntary.
02:51To the question, if there is a side effect?
02:53This will probably have a little relief.
02:56There will be a slight bump in the number of new doses.
03:00But it won't last long because if we give ice or cold compress, it will also disappear.
03:07There are other possible side effects that are very minor and very mild.
03:11Some patients will get a fever.
03:13But beyond that, we will not have any serious side effects when it comes to this vaccine.
03:19Paricel is supportive of vaccination.
03:22We will get vaccinated to avoid cancer.
03:28Like some of the parents we interviewed.
03:31I agree.
03:32Because they won't give it to Filipinos.
03:37It's okay for their health.
03:41Females have cervical cancer.
03:44That's why they are the target to be given the HPV vaccine.
03:47But according to DOH, even adults are also looking to be given the vaccine.
03:54If a man is given this vaccine, he won't be infected by HPV.
04:01If he won't be infected by HPV, he won't be able to pass this virus to his future wife or partner.
04:11And he won't have cervical cancer.
04:13For GMA Integrated News, Ian Cruz reporting for 24 Hours.
04:18It was explained that three cities in the country have programs against traffic.
04:24It is included in the list of cities in the world with the slowest traffic.
04:31The MMDA also has an answer that the traffic situation in Metro Manila is getting worse.
04:37Joseph Moro was able to point it out.
04:39JOSEPH MORO
04:43It is included in the list of cities in the world with the slowest traffic.
04:48It is included in the list of cities in the world with the slowest traffic.
04:53It is included in the list of cities in the world with the slowest traffic.
04:56According to TOMTOM, one of their estimates is the data they got from the drivers in the places they studied.
05:03It is included in the list of cities in the world with the slowest traffic.
05:09According to the local government of Davao, there is an increase in investment in the city,
05:13that's why more people are coming to work there.
05:16It is difficult to widen the roads because it is an old city.
05:20There are projects like the Bucana Bridge that are expected to be completed in the last quarter of the year and bypass roads.
05:29Number 14 is Manila.
05:31It takes 32 minutes and 10 seconds to travel every 10 kilometers.
05:36It is difficult for a student like Seychelles who is from Rizal and is still studying in Manila.
05:41Especially if her class is early because her trip is almost 3 hours.
05:48Sometimes it's 4.30 or 5.00.
05:52It's hard.
05:53Yes, it's tiring.
05:55It's hard because I can't sleep well sometimes.
05:59According to Manila LGU, the traffic is really bad because Manila is the most congested and tight city.
06:06Because of its old landscape and the two million daytime population or the number of people on the road per day.
06:12They are trying their best to overcome it through projects like rehabilitation,
06:18logistics and underpasses and regular clearing operations.
06:21But the drivers, motorists and pedestrians also need discipline.
06:27Number 26 is Caloocan.
06:29It takes 31 minutes and 10 seconds to travel every 10 kilometers.
06:33We were able to reach the traffic enforcers in the city.
06:36It seems that they are already installing public vehicles and trucks to reduce the traffic.
06:42How many hours do you make the traffic?
06:45About 20 to 15.
06:47Is it fast?
06:48Yes, it's fast.
06:49According to Caloocan LGU, they have 1.7 million residents.
06:54That's why they are considered one of the most populated cities in the Philippines.
06:58Aside from this, this is also a gateway or road to Metro Manila of Taganorte and other provinces.
07:05The local government is actively enforcing the traffic and road maintenance policies.
07:12According to MMDA, the traffic in Metro Manila is not that bad.
07:18It's like you're driving in Madrid, Spain, if not faster.
07:22It takes 24 minutes to travel every 10 kilometers.
07:26MMDA recorded the fastest speed in the main roads in Metro Manila last year.
07:32It was faster than 50 seconds in 2023.
07:36We should not be ranked number 14.
07:39There's a good thing that the new traffic survey is also showing
07:43because it lowers the rankings.
07:45The number of vehicles on the roads increased to 3.6 million every day last year.
07:52Our traffic situation is improving due to the interventions that we implemented.
07:59For GMA Integrated News, Joseph Morong, Nakatutok 24 Horas.
08:05A hundred thousand people have signed up for the traditional Penitential Walk with Mary.
08:10We will update you on other activities in Sinulog 2025
08:14on the live performance of Nico Sereno by GMA Regional TV.
08:18Nico.
08:19In honor of Santo Niño.
08:22Yes, Emil.
08:23Two days before the Santo Niño Festival here in Cebu,
08:26the two major religious activities that are the highlight of the festival were held.
08:36From Fuente Osmenia Rotonda in Cebu City,
08:39to Basilica Minore del Santo Niño,
08:42the image of the beloved Virgin of Guadalupe,
08:45the patron saint of Cebu, was pre-nocitioned.
08:47According to the police,
08:49up to 300,000 devotees participated in the procession
08:52with pictures of the Lord Santo Niño,
08:55Virgin Mary, and candles.
08:58The first Penitential Walk with Mary
09:01was held on the last day of the 9-Day Novena
09:04which is part of the 460th Fiesta Señor Celebration.
09:08When it came to the Basilica,
09:10there was a Mass of Translation.
09:12After that, images of the Lord Santo Niño and the Virgin Mary
09:17for the Translation were displayed
09:19to Mandaue City
09:21where thousands of devotees were waiting on the streets.
09:28At the boundary of Cebu and Mandaue City,
09:30images of the patron saint of Mandaue,
09:34where the image of the patron saint of Mandaue,
09:37San Jose, is displayed.
09:39During the Translation,
09:40the Holy Family or Sagrada Familia
09:43or Holy Family,
09:45the motorcade went straight to the National Shrine of St. Joseph
09:48in Mandaue
09:49where the Welcome Mass was held.
09:51Later that night,
09:53a Translation will also be held
09:55from Mandaue City to Lapu-Lapu City
09:58as a preparation for the Fluvial Procession
10:00in Mactan Channel tomorrow morning.
10:19In Cebu City,
10:20the Devotee City of the LGU was also opened this morning
10:23for the free sleep of the pilgrims
10:26for the Fiesta that cannot be continued.
10:30For a better future.
10:34Second,
10:35our Revival Mass
10:39is from Mactan Channel
10:45for the Fluvial Procession
10:49that will be carried by more than 300 sea vehicles.
10:53It will be the Solemn Foot Procession.
10:55Meanwhile,
10:56in Linggona,
10:57the Holy Communion will be held
10:59by the long-awaited Sinulog Grand Parade.
11:02Emil?
11:03Thank you very much.
11:04Nico Sereno of GMA Regional TV.
11:16For our countrymen to throw themselves in the right place,
11:20this group of Grade 10 students
11:22came up with a trash can
11:24that can be charged with a plastic bottle.
11:28Let's take a look at their prototype.
11:30Come on, let's change the game.
11:35We are still preparing for the Lanina.
11:40If last year,
11:41this is how many people endured the floods.
11:47What if the rains stop?
11:50What if the plastic wastes are polluted by the water?
11:55What if we don't throw our trash properly?
12:02What if we throw a plastic bottle?
12:09What if there's a change of electricity to charge the gadget?
12:14What if there's a good incentive to throw the trash properly?
12:18Introducing,
12:20the TrashBot.
12:25Developed by Grade 10 students,
12:27Alfred, Tristan, and John of Parang High School.
12:32From our personal experience,
12:35even if the trash can is provided with plastic bottles,
12:38it is not followed
12:40to promote proper waste management.
12:43The TrashBot,
12:44is Arduino-based and programmed by them.
12:47Ultrasonic sensors were installed
12:49to sense if someone threw a bottle.
12:52And to make it sustainable,
12:53it is also powered by solar panels.
12:57To know how this TrashBot works,
13:00this is their prototype.
13:02One plastic bottle will grant us 5 minutes of charging.
13:06We can use up to 3 plastic bottles.
13:09Let's put this plastic bottle first
13:12to detect the ultrasonic sensors.
13:16TrashBot, count 1.
13:18That means we only put one bottle.
13:20Let's press 1.
13:24We have a timer.
13:25We can now charge the cellphone.
13:31Our gadget is now charging.
13:33The TrashBot became a finalist
13:35in the Regional Science and Technology Fair
13:37under the Science Innovation category.
13:40Our plan is to improve
13:42and make our TrashBot stronger.
13:46Isn't that an innovative idea
13:49from our Grade 10 students
13:50to motivate the public
13:52to throw plastic bottles properly?
13:55For GMA Integrated News,
13:57I'm Martin Avier,
13:58Changing the Game!
14:04It's important to know early
14:07that if a baby is sick or in a special condition,
14:10it's only possible to give birth.
14:13It's important to know early
14:15and to give it the right medical attention.
14:18One of the solutions is
14:20to have a newborn screening
14:23conducted by DOH, Calabarzon,
14:26and GMA Kapuso Foundation in Lipa City.
14:33Even if life is hard,
14:34Agnes and Richard are saving up
14:38for the newborn screening
14:40of their two-month-old baby, Baby Dale.
14:43I'll do my best.
14:45I really want to have a newborn screening.
14:48That's why it was reported
14:50that GMA Kapuso Foundation
14:52has a free newborn screening caravan.
14:55DOH, Calabarzon, in Lipa City, Batangas,
14:59gave the baby a free screening.
15:01We were able to detect 20 diseases
15:04in the newborn screening.
15:06The babies were given a blood sample
15:10that was brought and tested
15:12at the Newborn Screening Center, Southern Luzon.
15:16Of the 38 babies,
15:18two, including Baby Dale,
15:21need to undergo a doctor's counseling.
15:25One will undergo a confirmatory test
15:29with the help of GMA Kapuso Foundation
15:32and DOH, Calabarzon.
15:34One baby was diagnosed with hemoglobin E3.
15:37It's not a disease.
15:39It's related to blood.
15:41It's possible that the baby will have
15:44hemoglobin E disease in the future.
15:47That's why babies with hemoglobin E3
15:50will grow up normally.
15:52It's important to show this to the pediatrician
15:56to explain to the parents
15:58the reproductive risk
16:00or the impact of this to the growth of the baby.
16:03Even though there's nothing to worry about,
16:05Agnes was still consulted by Baby Dale.
16:09Actually, her weight and her forehead are good.
16:12She's only 2 months old,
16:14but her weight is around 6 kilos.
16:16So, when I looked at Baby,
16:19she always had breast milk
16:22or breastfeeding.
16:23Pure.
16:24We also gave away gifts to the babies.
16:28For those who support our projects,
16:31you can make a deposit
16:33in our bank accounts
16:35or send it to Cebuano New Year.
16:37You can also do it online via GCash,
16:39Shopee, Lazada, and Globe Rewards.
