00:00Good afternoon, on Wednesday, the Department of Agriculture expects to declare the Food Security Emergency on rice.
00:10If this is implemented, the National Food Authority will issue a buffer stock of rice to the markets
00:16to lower the price of rice to Php 38 per kilo.
00:21J.P. Soriano has the news.
00:24Jun bought 4 kilos of local jasmine rice for his family's one-week celebration.
00:32He bought it for Php 60 per kilo, a price since December.
00:36It's really high. Before, when I bought it for Php 60, it was like Php 54 or Php 55.
00:42So now, there's a big difference.
00:45In some markets in Quezon City, there is no rice that is lower than Php 50 per kilo.
00:51Long grain is Php 50 per kilo.
00:54Sinandomeng is Php 53 per kilo.
00:57Denorado is Php 59 per kilo.
00:59Local jasmine rice is from Php 60 to Php 62.
01:04While imported jasmine rice is Php 65 per kilo.
01:08So the question is, when will it start?
01:12That's what President Bongbong Marcos said when he declared the Food Security Emergency.
01:17Jun was informed that if this is implemented,
01:20the buffer stock of rice by the National Food Authority can be removed
01:25and will be added to the market that will lower the price of rice.
01:31According to the Department of Agriculture,
01:33on Monday, they expect to receive the recommendation of the National Price Coordinating Council
01:39for the Food Security Emergency on rice.
01:42The expectation by Wednesday is that there will be an action by our government
01:47and most likely is the declaration of the Food Security Emergency.
01:53By the time the DA declares the National Food Security Emergency,
01:58the NFA will immediately sell rice to all local government units and Kadiwa stores.
02:05When Secretary Quico declared the Rice Price Emergency,
02:09he said that we can now increase the price.
02:14We can release our rice.
02:17This is not an aging stock.
02:19This is our regular stock.
02:21Nationwide, we can now release it.
02:25But according to the DA, while the council is still discussing how much NFA can sell their new stock of rice,
02:33they will follow the current price of Php 38 per kilo.
02:38But it depends on the LGU on how much it will sell.
02:43For GMA Integrated News, J.P. Soriano, 24 Hours.
02:49A woman gave birth to a grandchild and was arrested.
02:54She was taken to a camp inside the house.
02:57Bea Pinlac was arrested.
03:00This 19-year-old woman complained to the authorities
03:04after she saw the hold-up of a man in NEPA Qmart in Quezon City.
03:09She was arrested for Php 19,000.
03:12We went around inside the Qmart and the man was arrested.
03:17We went inside and we got three shots of drugs.
03:22The man was jailed.
03:25The man was jailed.
03:27He said he was in a hold-up but we were able to get drugs.
03:32Illegal drugs and a gun were found inside the hold-up of the man.
03:37They were not able to recover the stolen money.
03:41The next day, a man went to the barangay to complain.
03:46His complaint was that he went inside their house
03:51and took four cellphones.
03:54He took the cellphones.
03:56He went to the side of our bathroom.
04:01He peeped inside.
04:03Then he came out.
04:05He went inside their house and stole their cellphones and wallets
04:10with IDs and Php 5,900.
04:14When the CCTV came back,
04:17I showed him the money he took.
04:19He said, this is from last night.
04:21He complained that he was in a hold-up of Php 19,000.
04:24He went around near the man's house.
04:27The woman was not able to enter the man's house
04:31to take the four cellphones.
04:34But later, she saw him walking out of the house.
04:39The woman admitted to the crime.
04:42She explained that she just wanted to recover the stolen money.
04:47Last time, I was in a hold-up.
04:51I didn't know what to do.
04:54I was confused.
04:56I thought of doing something bad.
05:01He went to a mall in Manila
05:04to sell the stolen cellphones worth Php 4,000.
05:09Even though he gave the money to the owner,
05:12he hoped to get back the stolen money.
05:15He took the money and left the wallet in the taxi.
05:18I went after him with my wallet because I have my license.
05:22Even if we get the cellphones or not,
05:24we will still file a case against him.
05:26The woman is facing a complaint of theft.
05:29It is also possible that the complainant bought stolen cellphones
05:34to violate the anti-fencing law.
05:38For GMA Integrated News,
05:40Bea Pinlac was on the news for 24 hours.
05:44The four cellphones were recovered and returned to the owner.
05:48According to the barangay captain,
05:51Marciano Aguad, Jr. of Irodiguez in Quezon City.
05:56Motorists are expected to have a big-time oil price hike next week.
06:02According to Unioil,
06:04the price of diesel is up to Php 3 per litre
06:09and the price of gasoline is up to Php 2 per litre.
06:14According to the Oil Industry Management Bureau of the Energy Department,
06:18the United States and the United Kingdom
06:20will pass a new oil sanction from Russia
06:23which may reduce their export
06:26and increase the price in the world market.
06:29Russia is one of the biggest oil producers in the world.
06:32This will be the third high-priced oil product next week.
06:38It is also possible to file a complaint of neglect
06:42to the employer of Jenny Alvarado.
06:44She is the OFW who was in Kuwait
06:46and was replaced by her colleague
06:49when she returned to the Philippines.
06:51It is also possible for the deployment ban in Kuwait
06:54to be implemented
06:56by Von Aquino.
07:00A loving mother who is ready to sacrifice for her children.
07:05This is the memory that Jenny Alvarado left to her children
07:09despite her bitter attachment to Kuwait.
07:12Whenever I send her my achievements in life,
07:17she always reminds me,
07:19congrats that you always have a strong heart.
07:22The smiles that she gives to us,
07:25it makes us feel that she really loves us,
07:29the siblings.
07:31After the autopsy yesterday,
07:33Jenny was taken to their home in Rodriguez Rizal.
07:37Jenny's children say that their mother
07:40plans not to return to Kuwait.
07:42She always tells me,
07:45I will always go home to you.
07:48When we were not ready,
07:51I said, I will wait for her.
07:54I hope she will go home this February.
07:56But suddenly, this is what happened.
08:00The story of Jenny's children,
08:02they were able to talk to a former housemate
08:04of Jenny's employer,
08:06who knows her.
08:07And they told her that her mother is a crazy woman.
08:11Her employer's eldest son,
08:14whenever he does something wrong,
08:16he will blame it on his mother.
08:18It's like he's jealous of our mother.
08:20He will lock her up in the room and make her hungry.
08:23Whenever their mother goes home to the Philippines,
08:26her employer holds down her salary.
08:29When our mother goes home,
08:30her employer will contract her
08:33that she will only be there for a week,
08:34and he will not give her the entire salary.
08:36It's like that.
08:37Because he does not give her the entire salary,
08:39including her 13-month pay until now.
08:42Because of this,
08:43and because of what they saw in their mother's body,
08:46they believe that there is a foul play
08:49in the death of their mother.
08:51They want their mother's employer to answer
08:54that he served her for 8 years.
08:57Her employer,
08:58because what happened to our mother
09:00does not seem suffocating.
09:02And that is what I will fight for until the end.
09:07A while ago,
09:08Migrant Worker Secretary Hans Cacdag
09:10accompanied Jenny to the bureau.
09:12I am surprised that our plan continues
09:15to ask the lawyer to investigate
09:19and our plan is to file a claim
09:23or a case on the wrongful shipment of coal.
09:28In the initial report that was received
09:30by the Department of Migrant Workers,
09:32Jenny died
09:33due to the effect of coal metal stove
09:35or indoor coal burner
09:37that was ignited
09:38due to the cold temperature in the employer's rest house.
09:40I shared with them
09:42the negligence
09:45that we will file against the employer
09:50because he was brought home for vacation
09:55and that is not his regular sleep.
09:58We will just answer the employer
10:02on what is his responsibility.
10:04The DMW is studying again
10:06if the suspension of deployment
10:08of domestic helpers in Kuwait is appropriate.
10:10As to whether we will continue to restrict
10:12is another thing
10:13and that is what we are investigating now.
10:15What other measures will we add
10:18so that we can ensure
10:21the protection of our OFWs.
10:24And if in our investigation
10:27the suspension of deployment will help,
10:32we will also do that.
10:34For GMA Integrated News,
10:36Von Aquino reporting for 24 Hours.
10:39A senator is challenging
10:41to change his name
10:42and increase the responsibility
10:44of the National Economic and Development Authority
10:46or NEDA.
10:47If this is implemented,
10:48he will be called
10:49the Department of Economy, Planning and Development
10:52or DEPDEV.
10:53Reporting by Marie Zumali.
10:59When it comes to planning programs
11:01for the development of our economy,
11:03an agency is responsible for that.
11:05The National Economic and Development Authority
11:08or NEDA.
11:09But in terms of the agency's responsibility,
11:12its power should be expanded.
11:15Senator Juan Miguel Zubiri is challenging
11:17to make it a department
11:19or department of government.
11:21The Department of Economy, Planning and Development
11:23or DEPDEV.
11:24His role is strong in cabinet meetings
11:28and yet they're not a department.
11:30Sometimes, there are government agencies
11:32that don't pay attention to the findings
11:35and solutions of the NEDA.
11:39Because it's just like an authority.
11:42Some agencies feel it's only recommendatory.
11:45But it's not just a simple change of name.
11:48The responsibilities of the new government
11:51will be increased when it comes to
11:53the government's budget.
11:54Sometimes, the education fund is lost,
11:56the fund for social services is lost,
11:59the fund for trade and industry
12:02and commerce programs is lost.
12:04So now, under this law,
12:08DEPDEV will consult with DBM,
12:14Department of Budget and Management,
12:16to make our national budget
12:19in tune for our economic development.
12:22The proposal has already passed
12:24the Senate and the House of Representatives.
12:26On Wednesday,
12:27there will be a bicameral conference.
12:30But it will only be a paper bicam
12:32because the Senate and House of Representatives
12:35approved almost the same.
12:37They agreed to ratify the bill
12:39on the same day.
12:41They hope that the President
12:43will sign it on the first week of February.
12:46Hopefully, we will be able to add jobs,
12:48we will be able to pay,
12:49investment opportunities,
12:51and of course, streamlining of government functions
12:54and at the same time,
12:55streamlining of government work
12:58to our countrymen.
13:00For GMA Integrated News,
13:02I'm Maris Umali for 24 Hours.
13:07Two times, there was a volcanic eruption
13:09that included Abu,
13:10the volcano that erupted today.
13:12The eruption lasted for more than 10 minutes
13:15and there were 21 volcanic earthquakes
13:18in Phoebos.
13:19The volcano remains at alert level 3
13:22which is why aircraft are not allowed
13:24to fly near it.
13:26The authorities are warning residents
13:29to remain alert
13:30to the possible eruption of the volcano.
13:33A viral video of a cyclist
13:35who passed by the NLEX
13:37and even counter-flowed.
13:39Rafi Tima was shocked.
13:45This dash cam footage of a motorist
13:47on Tuesday in the NLEX Northbound
13:49is viral and has more than 500,000 views
13:51in the Philippine Arena.
13:53He saw a cyclist
13:55passing by the center island.
13:57He counter-flowed
13:58and was chased by a NLEX patrol officer.
14:00The motorist was shocked by the incident.
14:04When our patrol got off,
14:05they stopped him.
14:06He didn't stop.
14:08So what we did was
14:09we chased our patrol
14:10because he really needed to stop
14:12because he counter-flowed in the traffic.
14:16Why did he not stop?
14:18Was he explained?
14:19He was not explained
14:21because his words were too few.
14:25All I heard was
14:27thank you.
14:28That's all.
14:29He was not able to speak properly.
14:31He was not caught
14:32but the cyclist stopped him.
14:33He immediately got in the patrol car
14:35and was taken out of the expressway.
14:37He was also chased.
14:38According to the NLEX,
14:39it was just a joke
14:40and it seemed like nothing happened
14:41so he entered the expressway.
14:43They just taught him
14:45to go straight there.
14:48It seemed like he didn't know the expressway
14:49so he got lost.
14:51The Bicycle Rider has yet to respond
14:52to GMI Integrated News.
14:54Aside from the dangerous act
14:55that the cyclist committed,
14:56according to the NLEX,
14:57bicycles are not allowed in the expressway
14:59according to the law.
15:01Our signage is complete.
15:03It's just an error to enter.
15:05The NLEX reminded the motorists
15:07to be extra careful
15:09especially at the entrance
15:10and exit of the expressway.
15:12They will continue to be alert
15:13to their personnel
15:15so that this won't happen again.

16:37But it's their first time
16:39joining a series.
16:43I was so excited.

16:48I don't think so.
16:49It's her first time doing a series at GMA.

17:59Some congressmen believe
18:00that the impeachment
18:03against Vice President Sara Duterte is not over yet.
18:05Some groups are gathering
18:07to support the impeachment.
18:10Jonas Ananda is here.
18:14Impeach Sara!
18:16Impeach Sara!
18:18Those who want to impeach
18:20Vice President Sara Duterte
18:22gathered at the EDSA People Power Monument.
18:24This is a group of vloggers
18:26who fought in the election.
18:28They are the Kamping and Pro-BBM
18:30who were brought together
18:32and organized by the Bunyog Party.
18:34This is the real unity.
18:36This is not for Marcos.
18:38This is not for Leni.
18:40We are united
18:41because of Sara's impeachment.
18:43A group of vloggers also came
18:45and ACT Teacher's Party List
18:47Representative Franz Castro.
18:49Yesterday, President Bongbong Marcos said
18:51that the impeachment
18:53against Vice President Sara Duterte is not over yet.
18:55The Senate and Congressmen
18:56will not be able to form a quorum
18:58that will be a part of the election
19:00in 2025.
19:01According to the chairman
19:03and vice chairman of the House Committee
19:05on Good Government and Public Accountability,
19:07the committee investigated
19:09the confidential funds of the Vice President.
19:11But according to Manila Representative Joel Chua,
19:13there is no lack of interest
19:15in the impeachment of lawmakers.
19:17It's just a matter of time
19:19for them to return to the country's law
19:21if they decide that
19:23especially those who are far away in Metro Manila.
19:25But for Castro,
19:27even though the President is still in office,
19:29the impeachment is not over yet.
19:31They expect the fourth impeachment
19:33complaint, according to Castro,
19:35to come from Congressmen
19:37in the majority.
19:39The first three impeachment complaints
19:41against Vice President are from the minority bloc.
19:43We are trying to get
19:45a comment from the second president.
