00:00We will be able to buy the lowest maximum suggested retail price of imported rice starting today.
00:19Let's go to the first live news of James Agustin. James.
00:24Good morning. In some rice stores that I have visited here in the Blue Man Trade Market in Manila,
00:33the maximum suggested retail price of imported rice is included in the maximum suggested retail price.
00:39Effectively, MSRP is going down to Php 45 per kilo.
00:44Two kinds of imported rice can be bought for Php 45 per kilo in one place here in the Blue Man Trade Market.
00:52There's also Php 44 per kilo.
00:54It's lower than the maximum suggested retail price or MSRP that the government has set for imported rice.
01:00In local rice, the lowest is Php 37 per kilo.
01:04But depending on the type, you can buy up to Php 50 per kilo.
01:07Since MSRP was implemented in imported rice last January,
01:11the retail price has been reduced to Php 19 per kilo according to the Department of Agriculture.
01:16MSRP and DA have also adjusted several times in the past few months.
01:20Those who will choose to have a small business, such as karenderya and tapsilogan,
01:25are happy that MSRP is going down.
01:28It's a big help despite the high price of other things to buy.
01:33Some are also hoping that the price of imported rice will go down.
01:38It's a big help because it used to be more than Php 50 per kilo.
01:43It used to be Php 60 per kilo.
01:45Now, it's Php 44 per kilo.
01:48Yes, it's a big help.
01:51I hope it will go down.
01:53But we're not hoping that it will go down because we know the situation,
01:58the inflation.
02:06Meanwhile, the rice sellers here in the market said
02:10that they can give the imported rice at Php 45 per kilo
02:14because the price of their rice has gone down.
02:17That is the first news from Manila.
02:19I am James Agustin for Joyme Integrated News.
02:24It has been three weeks since the Department of Agriculture
02:27reduced the maximum suggested retail price to pork.
02:30But many are still having a hard time following this.
02:33Php 350 per kilo, maximum SRP in Kasim and Pigue.
02:38Php 380 in Liempo.
02:41But in Murphy Public Market in Quezon City,
02:44Php 370 per kilo of Kasim and Php 420 per kilo of Liempo.
02:52Php 420 per kilo of Liempo in Pasay Public Market.
02:57Kasim is cheaper there but it still exceeds the maximum SRP.
03:03Some sellers said that they need to compensate their losses
03:08to those who can't sell a portion of pork.
03:11Suppliers also said that the price of pork is expensive
03:14because the farm gate price is not going down.
03:20Let's get an update on the condition of our countrymen in Myanmar and Thailand.
03:24We will ask DFA, Undersecretary Eduardo De Vega.
03:28Josec De Vega, good morning.
03:31Good morning to all of you.
03:33How is the search for Filipinos in Myanmar?
03:38I feel that it's hard to find.
03:42The four are unaccounted for.
03:44But hope is being eternal.
03:46We will do everything we can to find them.
03:51We don't want to confirm that someone died or what,
03:56because while it's not confirmed, we still have no hope.
04:03Is the coordination easy
04:05because Myanmar is under military control?
04:09Yes. But the problem is that Myanmar doesn't have the equipment
04:15to search for people in the debris.
04:19That's why other countries are sending contingents to help.
04:25It's our duty to find them.
04:30In Bangkok, Thailand,
04:32what is the latest information of the Filipinos who were included?
04:36The good news is that there are no reported affected.
04:41That's a good news.
04:47Josec, are there people who want to go home and ask for help?
04:51There are none in Thailand.
04:53It's possible that there are people who lost their jobs
04:58and the embassy is investigating to fulfill their request.
05:04Just like what happened in Turkey in 2023,
05:07if there are people who want to go home, we will help them.
05:10You mentioned help.
05:11In this situation, what can the DFA do to help the affected Filipinos?
05:19The first help is to find the missing Filipinos.
05:25Now, those who need financial assistance,
05:30who lost their jobs temporarily or need shelter to go home,
05:35we have funds for them, ATM assistance funds.
05:40The Department of Migrant Workers can help them.
05:43They have an attaché in Bangkok nearby.
05:45When they go home, they will be given reintegration
05:49to help them find a new job.
05:52But right now, what we need to do is to account for the Filipinos in Mandalay.
05:59There are three major cities, Yangon, Naypidaw, the official capital of Naypidaw, and Mandalay.
06:06In Mandalay, there are 150 Filipinos, professionals.
06:09So we accounted for four missing.
06:13The problem is that they are in a building, in a building that was built in a condominium.
06:18So we will open it.
06:20But we have a budget for financial assistance.
06:25Even repatriation, if they need to go home.
06:27The problem is, how can they go home?
06:29The airport is not open right now.
06:32So they will be driven to Bangkok, Thailand.
06:34Yes.
06:35Usec, we also asked for development for the Filipinos who rallied in Qatar.
06:41One of them was released.
06:44So there's hope that the other one will be released?
06:47There's hope. Our embassy is talking to them.
06:51The police is talking to them.
06:53At that time, we will give them a legal counsel if there's any evidence.
06:58But I hope it won't reach there.
07:00Yes.
07:01So they don't have a case yet Usec?
07:03They haven't investigated yet.
07:05They are checking if they have plans to disrupt Qatar or what.
07:10But again, our government is planning for March 13.
07:16So the point is, it's not that we don't want them to rally.
07:23The problem is, it's prohibited in Qatar.
07:26Especially, it's not true that the embassy is asking them to go home.
07:30We don't have in the Philippines.
07:33We are in Qatar.
07:34Qatar's law is violating.
07:36So that's it.
07:38Okay.
07:39Aside from legal assistance, we will help other Filipinos in Qatar.
07:45But even if there's no case, they are in jail.
07:48They are not in jail. They are detained.
07:50Detained.
07:51It means they are in prison.
07:53They are just in police station, not in prison.
07:59So their condition in detention is okay?
08:02It's okay. But of course, no one wants to be jailed.
08:05So we do what we can.
08:07Okay.
08:08Thank you. Take care.

09:32We continue to follow the campaign of running Senators in the election of 2025.
09:37This is the first news. James Agustin for Jemai Integrated News.
09:42Vice President Sara Duterte is questioning.
09:44There is a lot of evidence in the case of her amongst former President Rodrigo Duterte in the International Criminal Court or ICC.
09:51These are not enough to prove the case of Crimes Against Humanity.
09:56The lawyer of the EJK victim is challenging the Vice President.
10:01Live from Dihe, we have the first news with Maris Umali.
10:05Maris.
10:10Egan, good morning. It's already noon here in The Hague, Netherlands.
10:14The field of former President Rodrigo Duterte is not in our hands.
10:18The first evidence submitted by the prosecution in the International Criminal Court against him is up to 181.
10:26This is far from the so-called Crimes Against Humanity.
10:30However, the International Criminal Court has already said that even one case is enough to prove the crime against humanity.
10:41Even in the April deadline of the prosecution in the submission of evidence in the ICC,
10:45they have already reduced the number of evidence to 181 in the pre-trial chamber 1 last week.
10:52The field of Duterte is not in our hands.
10:54Vice President Sara Duterte is questioning.
10:57Can the 181 evidence prove what she is claiming about her father,
11:01who was killed thousands of times during the war on drugs under her administration?
11:06181 pieces of evidence and they say thousands.
11:11This is a case of crimes against humanity.
11:15So if you only have 181 pieces of evidence, does that show a crime against humanity?
11:26So where are the 30,000 pieces of evidence?
11:30This is not a case for the ICC.
11:33These were not even cases in the Philippines.
11:43But what does the International Criminal Court say?
11:47The legal framework is that a crime against humanity can be a murder,
11:53can be any other number of criminal conducts,
11:57but if they are committed in the context of a widespread or systematic attack against humanity,
12:04then it is not a crime against humanity.
12:08But if they are committed in the context of a widespread or systematic attack against a civilian population,
12:17according to a certain plan.
12:19So if there is a plan that involves a widespread or systematic recurrent attack against civilian population,
12:26even one murder may be considered a crime against humanity.
12:31So how can you prove systematic killing of 30,000 victims if you do not have the names of 30,000 victims?
12:43This is 43 counts of murder, not even 50.
12:49So where is the system there of killing thousands?
12:54No, you don't, no, sorry.
12:58Their lawyer is stupid.
13:00So I invited VP Sara to come to the ICC and say her argument.
13:07Let's see if she will listen.
13:10In our studies, and VP Sara is also a lawyer,
13:15in our studies, this crime is not a crime,
13:20or you can't compare it to a simple murder case.
13:24I understand that under Philippine jurisdiction,
13:27in crimes against humanity, you do not need to name all the victims.
13:34According to Vice President Sara,
13:36the interim release of her camp is already being considered.
13:40They will continue to form the defense team for AMA.
13:43But in the end, former President Duterte will make a decision according to his lawyers.
13:49We are waiting for the papers of two more lawyers,
13:55and then we are currently recruiting one more lawyer,
14:02excluding the Filipino lawyer.
14:09Thank you very much.
14:11Thank you very much.
14:15Sgt. Igan, I would like to thank the former President Rodrigo Duterte's camp
14:20and all the supporters for their continuous prayers for his immediate release
14:26so that he can return to the Philippines, particularly Davao City.
14:30Aside from Dodong Gang, Budol Gang, and Team Amoy Asin,
14:37there are other well-known names that were signed by confidential funds
14:43by Vice President Sara Duterte.
14:46According to House Deputy Majority Leader Paulo Ortega V,
14:49there is also Team Grocery.
14:52Aside from the names on the list,
14:54Beverly Claire Pampano, Mico Harina, Patty Ting, Ralph Jos Bacon, and Sala Kasim,
15:05Ortega did not issue any documents.
15:08Instead, he issued those names to the OVP's submitted receipts to the Commission on Audit.
15:14VP Duterte said that he is still in the Netherlands,
15:17so he doesn't have to answer questions about confidential funds.
15:22He also said that there's nothing wrong with using the so-called funds of the offices he holds.
15:36Overwhelming support from the outside world was received by Ashley Ortega
15:40after her journey in the Pinoy Big Brother Celebrity Collab Edition.

16:05Before being evicted, Ashley's moments became memorable
16:09because she received a letter from her mom
16:12that she hasn't seen for a long time because of her bad temper.
16:16She was forgiven and she's been waiting for a long time.
