00:00Two people were injured in a house fire in Santa Cruz, Manila.
00:04It was hard to identify the cause of the fire.
00:08John Merapresto was able to identify the cause.
00:16This is how big the fire is that the firefighters are trying to identify
00:20in this part of Milagro Street in Santa Cruz, Manila
00:23past 2 o'clock in the early morning.
00:25Because of the comfort of sleep, most of the people who were burned
00:29had nothing to save.
00:31Just like the solo parent, Yasmin.
00:34In her story, the fire started in the middle of their room.
00:38It's an ancestral home.
00:40Since it's old, the light materials on top spread the fire quickly.
00:48They were not able to save any important documents and items
00:51except for a few pieces of clothing.
00:53Her problem now is where her child will live.
00:56I don't know how to start.
00:58I just sell school supplies.
01:01Now, I don't have anything.
01:03Yasmin also said that it's possible that the fire started because of the smoke
01:08in their area.
01:10The 70-year-old mother said that she's the only one in their house
01:14that was burnt.
01:16I woke up because it was screaming.
01:19We have so many things to use.
01:21But luckily, they were not able to reach their home.
01:24Many residents ran away, their pets were bitten.
01:28According to the Bureau of Fire Protection,
01:30they immediately raised the second alarm of the fire.
01:33It means that the fire will not go down to the 12 truck of firemen
01:36that Romes Pundi needed.
01:38The fire lasted for almost 3 hours before it was extinguished
01:41around 4.53 in the early morning.
01:44Two people were injured.
01:48According to the BFP, the fire was a threat to them.
01:52But Meralco immediately stopped the supply of electricity.
01:56We have a shaman house that's involved.
01:59Three of them were totally burnt.
02:02The structure is more on wooden.
02:05It is estimated that the fire was worth Php 600,000.
02:10The authorities now know what the cause of the fire is.
02:15For GMA Integrated News, Jomer Apresto, 24 Hours.
02:20The Chinese government ordered the permission of Defense Secretary Gilbert Eudoro
02:24to prevent the aggressive attacks of China.
02:28The Chinese said that the Philippines should not be used.
02:31And those who are fighting each other,
02:33who are like pieces in a chess, should be thrown out.
02:37According to the DFA,
02:39there is no connection of any separation of powerful countries.
02:43J.P. Soriano is right.
02:49Now we can see how the Trump administration implemented
02:53the America First foreign policy of America.
02:56It has allies who are in charge.
02:59But in the forum of the Strat Base Institute and Japan Foundation Manila,
03:03it was announced that there are good signals
03:05that in the midst of the freeze of US President Trump in their foreign aid,
03:10some of their military assistance in the Philippines is still exempted.
03:16It means that there's a recognition within the US Department of State
03:19and Department of Defense that the military alliance
03:23and the US capacity building assistance to the armed forces of the Philippines
03:27is a critical national interest.
03:29One that can't wait for whatever processes is ongoing right now
03:33to try to rationalize US foreign assistance.
03:45Apart from the Philippine and China banks in the West Philippine Sea,
03:48there is also tension between our neighbor Taiwan and China.
04:15That's why the armed forces of the Philippines recognize
04:18that the time has come for the Philippines to defend itself.
04:24At the end of the day, we should be able to independently
04:28be able to defend our sovereignty.
04:31Japan is urging America to continue its defense and military cooperation in the Philippines.
04:38Having recognized this landscape surrounding the Japan-Philippines-US partnership,
04:44it is crucial that we approach the future with foresight and collaboration.
04:52We are listening attentively to the US Embassy.
04:55In an interview, Defense Secretary Gilbert Yodoro said that
04:59the Philippines and its allies will block China's plans to establish an air defense zone
05:06or limit freedom of flight in the South China Sea.
05:09This is the biggest threat to the security of the Philippines,
05:12the increasing aggression of China in the occupied territories
05:16and should be considered a global threat, especially in the future.
05:21According to Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi,
05:23the Philippines' movements in the sea are scripted.
05:27It was written by external forces issued by Western media
05:32and all of it aims to embarrass China.
05:37Yi added that any kind of aggression and provocation will backfire
05:42and all of the other things that seem like pieces in a chess game will be lost.
05:49Yi's statement was answered by DFA Secretary Enrique Manalo.
05:53It's being cast in the light of a strategic rivalry among the big powers
05:58when actually the issue is really an issue of Philippine interests.
06:02And it's how it affects the Philippines.
06:04It has no connection to any kind of strategic rivalry among the big powers.
06:09For GMA Integrated News, J.P. Soriano.
06:13Tune in for 24 hours.
06:15Stable but complex is the condition of the Holy Father according to the Vatican.

06:27Praying, resting and working is what the Holy Father does.
06:33He also continues his respiratory physiotherapy.
06:36According to the Vatican, the Holy Father continues to use an apparatus
06:39to circulate oxygen.
