NewsTranscript
00:00We will start now with the delivery of automated counting machines in different parts of the country as a preparation for the election of 2025.
00:20Comelec is studying if the online voting in Myanmar and Thailand will continue after the earthquake this Friday.
00:27First news is from Sandra Aguinaldo.
00:33Because of the earthquake in Myanmar, which was also felt in Thailand, many infrastructures were damaged.
00:39That's why Comelec is studying if online voting will continue there.
00:45If, for example, the telecommunication infrastructure of the country is affected, it may return to the system of using machines.
00:54We don't want to give up. We want the official report coming from the consulate or the embassy of the Philippines in Myanmar,
01:01if electronic voting or internet voting can still be done there.
01:07We want to know how the earthquake affected the country's infrastructure and if electronic voting or internet voting of our countrymen in Myanmar will still be effective.
01:22Otherwise, we may immediately send the machines.
01:26It has been more than a month since the election.
01:29Comelec showed the production of pre-lat or logic and accuracy test in its warehouse in Binyan, Laguna.
01:37Comelec explained that this is to make sure that all parts of the machines are identical and working.
01:44We are checking if the machines are accurate from the start to the end.
01:48As of today, we have pre-lat of 47,000 of the 110,000 machines that we tested.
01:56Comelec also showed their Santa Rosa, Laguna warehouse where the printed balotas are brought.
02:03Here in Comelec's warehouse in Laguna, the balotas are being prepared for shipment to different parts of the country.
02:10But even though they have a lot of balotas, Comelec said that the complete balotas to be shipped to different parts of the country are in faraway places,
02:21such as Moro Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao and some parts of Visayas.
02:27Comelec also said that they are almost done with their preparation for the election.
02:32We are almost done with our preparation. We are already used to the level of 1 to 10.
02:40On April 20, they are expected to finish the verification of the balotas.
02:45On April 4, they are expected to start the delivery of automated counting machines to different parts of the country.
02:53At the start of the campaign for local and national elections, Lola Amor said that they have no objections to all of the campaign jingles made by the candidates.
03:05Comelec did not deny the group that filed a complaint to the Commission and the Intellectual Property Office of the Philippines.
03:13Comelec's campaign continued against the spread of campaign posters that are not in the right place and are too large.
03:21This is the first news. Sandra Aguinaldo for GMA Integrated News.
03:27The Philippines has already sent the group that will help in the rescue and humanitarian assistance in Myanmar.
03:32The magnitude 7.7 earthquake was reported last week.
03:35Live from Pasay, we have the first news. This is Bam Alegre. Bam.
03:41Susan, good morning. The Philippine team that will go to Myanmar for the humanitarian assistance and disaster response mission left at 4 a.m.
03:56In the early morning, the group that will provide services for those affected by the magnitude 7.7 earthquake in Myanmar has already formed.
04:04They are 91 in total, including the Special Rescue Units of the Philippine Air Force and Armed Forces of the Philippines.
04:10There are also people from the Department of Health who experienced the earthquake in Turkey.
04:15There are also people from the Metro Manila Development Authority or MMDA, Office of Civil Defense, and Bureau of Fire Protection.
04:21The private sector also has trained personnel who will join the humanitarian mission.
04:27The group will stay in Myanmar for about two weeks.
04:30The first batch of 58 people traveled this morning on two C-130 planes.
04:35Tomorrow, 33 will fly the next C-130.
04:38They will travel for five hours to Thailand for a gas stop.
04:42They will travel for one and a half hours to Myanmar.
04:45We will help those who are still alive, those who were trapped in the structures in Myanmar.
04:56That is important because there is still time for them to be saved.
04:59I am inspiring them to leave.
05:01I told them to stay at the Eastern Visayas Medical Center.
05:04They were affected by the typhoon Haiyan.
05:06This is also an experience in a big-time disaster because they are the personnel who helped during the typhoon Haiyan.
05:14I told them that if there is a big one in Metro Manila, they will be the ones to respond to us.
05:22Susan, the 40 personnel of the Philippine Air Force who operated a flight to Myanmar via Thailand traveled with them.
05:30This is the first news from Villamar Air Base in Pasay, Bamalegre for GMA Integrated News.
05:36The Department of Agriculture is also studying the maximum suggested retail price for imported garlic.
05:43This is the favorite area of vendors.
05:46Live from Quezon City, we have the first news of James Agustin.
05:50James.
05:54Good morning.
05:55The vendors in the vegetable market in Quezon City said that if the government implements the maximum suggested retail price or MSRP for imported garlic,
06:06they are ready to follow it as long as they lower the price they get from their suppliers.
06:11They have other expenses such as the cost of their jobs and employees.
06:20The retail price of garlic at the vegetable market in Juliana Market in Quezon City is Php 130 per kilo.
06:26It is cheaper if they buy wholesale or Php 5.8 per bundle.
06:31The price is Php 620 per bundle or equal to Php 106.89 per kilo.
06:39In storage, we get Php 5.8 per kilo.
06:47We can save Php 100 per kilo.
06:50The retail price here is Php 130 per kilo because we have to clean it.
06:55There are rejects.
06:56There are people who do it.
06:58There are payers.
07:00Glenn also sells a kilo of garlic at his place.
07:03This price has been like this since December and it hasn't decreased in the past few months.
07:08The price we get from the supplier is also high.
07:12That's why we lower the price to Php 130 per kilo.
07:17Because everyday, you have to pay for the place.
07:23Not everyday, there are people.
07:25The Department of Agriculture will persuade importers to know why the price of imported garlic is high.
07:32If the price continues to rise, it is possible that the maximum suggested retail price or MSRP will be fulfilled.
07:39Of course, we want everything to go smoothly.
07:42So we won't have to put MSRP.
07:45We won't have to reach that.
07:47If they don't want to follow, we will do it.
07:50The agency thinks that the price should be around Php 100 to Php 110 per kilo in the market.
07:56The sellers said that this price is possible.
08:00If we lower the price for storage, it is possible.
08:05For those who want to lower the price, because it is really high right now.
08:12It is possible, but I hope that the supplier will lower the price and adjust.
08:16The supplier should adjust so that we can stabilize the price of garlic at Php 110 per kilo.
08:24In Bagsakan, vegetables are also being exported because it is cheaper.
08:28Just like Nelson who has a place in the Litex market.
08:31He said that he will also sell garlic for Php 130 per kilo.
08:35While Christopher is selling garlic for Php 150 per kilo in Project 6.
08:39They are in favor of MSRP for imported garlic.
08:43It's okay because people are complaining that the prices are too high.
08:49That's why we won't raise the price.
08:51The price of vegetables depends on whether we earn or not.
09:00We want to lower the price so that our sales will be low.
09:03Of course, that's how it is.
09:05If it is expensive, we will sell it.
09:13In my opinion, if the price of garlic is high,
09:16the price of onions will go down.
09:21It can be bought for Php 75 to Php 80 per kilo.
09:25That's the first news from Quezon City.
09:27I am James Agustin for GEMA Integrated News.
09:33The time of classes in Iloilo City has been shortened
09:36as a precaution for the students and teachers.
09:40Just like in Iloilo City,
09:42the heat is also felt in some parts of Western Visayas.
09:46Sen has live news.
09:48When will GEMA Individual TV join?
09:51Sen?
09:56Residents here in Iloilo City have different discounts
10:00to beat the heat.
10:04The heat is felt yesterday, March 31, in some parts of Western Visayas.
10:13It reached 41 degrees Celsius, the maximum heat index in Iloilo.
10:18In Barangay Bitasan, Laganes, Barangay Tanod of Felix,
10:22there is a discount to beat the heat.
10:25Meanwhile, he put a duyan in the waiting shed
10:28where he can relax while getting some fresh air.
10:32It's hot.
10:33It's three times hotter there.
10:35Based on the executive order issued by the mayor of Iloilo City,
10:39the time of classes has been shortened
10:41so that the heat will not affect their studies in the classroom.
10:47In Bituan Elementary School,
10:49the class started at 7 in the morning until 11 in the morning in the primary grade.
10:54Until 11.30 in the morning, the class of intermediate pupils.
10:59All subjects will be covered.
11:01Instead of 45 minutes per subject area,
11:03we will only cover 30 minutes.
11:05Therefore, even if it's just a half-day class,
11:09all subject areas will be covered.
11:13If the maximum heat index reaches 42 degrees Celsius,
11:17it needs to shift to alternative delivery mode.
11:22Igan, the heat index here in Iloilo City is at 41 degrees Celsius
11:26based on the forecast of Pag-asa.
11:28The public is being warned by the health authorities
11:31to drink a lot of water and wear heat protection
11:34like an umbrella when going out.
11:37Igan?
11:38Thank you very much, Zen.
11:39This is Jemai Original TV.
11:42The Public Transport Modernization Program
11:44was re-reviewed by Transportation Secretary Vince Dizon.
11:48Dizon formed a committee
11:50that will consult all stakeholders
11:53and find out their problems and concerns related to the program.
11:57Some of the undersecretaries and assistant secretaries of the DOTR are included in the committee.
12:03Some transport groups are hoping that the results of the review will be released before Easter.
12:10It's really fresh eyes.
12:11It's a new perspective, a new perspective of this program
12:16because we admit that there are a lot of things that need to be fixed.
12:20It's not fair that we know that there are a lot of problems,
12:24a lot of things that need to be fixed,
12:26and yet we are not able to solve them.
12:29We admit that there are a lot of problems,
12:31a lot of things that need to be fixed,
12:33and yet we are not able to solve them.
12:41Former President Rodrigo Duterte and his lawyer
12:45at the International Criminal Court, Atty. Nicholas Kauffman, will discuss the plans of Kauffman.
12:50We will be joined by Maris Umali, live from The Hague, Netherlands.
12:55Maris.
13:00Igan, it's already past midnight here in the Netherlands
13:04and the field or the defense team of former President Rodrigo Duterte
13:09believes that the International Criminal Court will give them time to ask for an interim release for the former president.
13:19The lead counsel, Atty. Nicholas Kauffman, gave the former President Rodrigo Duterte the right
13:25to be released while the case is still being investigated.
13:28He said that he will not be a threat even if he is released first.
13:32The first of which is the risk of flight.
13:34The second of which is the risk of interference of witnesses with the evidence.
13:39And the third of which is the risk of continuing crimes.
13:41None of those factors exist in the present situation.
13:43So there is a right for Mr. Duterte to be released.
13:46Even if they cannot say when they will be released,
13:48they are already working on asking for an interim release.
13:52Kauffman also said that they will convince the pre-trial chamber judges
13:56that there is no jurisdiction of the ICC in the case
13:59because the withdrawal of the Filipinas to the ICC has already been effective before the investigation even started.
14:05There is a compelling argument that the court cannot exercise its jurisdiction over the Philippine situation.
14:10And this is a live issue.
14:12It's an issue which has been through the Philippines courts.
14:14It's an issue that's been through the ICC as well.
14:17It is a compelling argument.
14:19It's an argument of the defensive race.
14:21This is something that has been argued over the last number of years.
14:25We are still trying to get permission for the prosecution regarding this.
14:29But they have already insisted that this is still within the jurisdiction of the ICC.
14:33Even the International Criminal Court said that they have jurisdiction over the crimes that were committed
14:39before the Philippines withdrew from the Rome Statute.
14:41So the court's jurisprudence has already indicated that the ICC retains jurisdiction
14:49even after the withdrawal of a state,
14:52but only for the crimes that were allegedly committed during the period when the state was a state party to the ICC Rome Statute.
15:00A withdrawal does not affect these obligations and this jurisdiction of the ICC.
15:06According to the defense, if the judges are able to determine,
15:09there will no longer be a confirmation of charges hearing in September.
15:13Just today, Kofman was brought back to prison.
15:16He underwent surgery but he is now fine and he can defend the former president.
15:22Kofman has known the former ICC Prosecutor Karim Khan for a long time.
15:27He used to be considered as a good lawyer.
15:31So when asked if his stand in court will be strong,
15:35If you know how we all work and how the law works, we are impartial.
15:40We are officers of the court.
15:42My duty is to do my absolute best for Mr. Duterte and I hopefully will ensure his acquittal.
15:47Mr. Khan's duty is to ensure that justice is done and I trust that he will do that.
15:52Duterte is thankful to those who support him,
15:55while talking to him not to be aware of the case.
15:59There was a huge outpouring of support and love both in the Philippines and here in the Netherlands.
16:05That has touched him, he's been made aware of it and he's very grateful for that.
16:10The family wants to make it clear, and he endorses this,
16:13that there should be no interference of the judicial process.
16:16The political politics is one issue.
16:19There should be full respect for all participants in that process,
16:23the prosecution, the defense and the victims,
16:25counsel who will make their submissions in due course.
16:28In high spirits, Attorney Kaufman told us that former President Rodrigo Duterte is still having a hard time adjusting
16:41inside the ICC detention facility, especially since it has been 80 years and medical issues are still being addressed.
16:50World No. 75 in the Women's Tennis Association Ranking is the Filipino tennis player Alex Ayala.
17:02That's her highest rank in the WTA.
17:05Next is her historic match in the Miami Open 2025 where she reached the semifinals.
17:12Before the tournament, Ayala ranked 140.
17:16In her career, Ayala has 168 wins and 99 losses.
17:31Kapuso and Kapamilya Duos has a new set in the Pinoy Big Brothers Celebrity Collab Edition.
17:37In the 3rd Duo Formation Task, Josh was the first and Kapamilya's housemate, S. Near, was chosen.
17:44While for Michael, River was chosen.
17:47Dustin is Brent's new duet.
17:51While for Kira, Charlie was chosen as the new duet.
17:56Ralph and AZ are also the new duos.
18:00Will and Clarice and Bianca and Mika.
18:07Emilio and Vince are the new housemates.
18:10They already talked in the confession room.
18:12There's a twist on how they got to know each other as co-housemates.
18:15That's what you should look forward to later and also the live sharing of the housemates with the houseguest, Michelle Marquez D.
18:22That's why the PBB Celebrity Collab Edition will be aired every 10pm weeknights on JMA Prime at 6.15pm every weekdays.
18:32Why not the next houseguest is Lin Chin.
18:35Oh my! It's like I'm going to be their mother.
18:39Oh you're going to teach them ways, the right ways.
18:42I'll teach you how to speak.
18:44Anyway, for the very first time, South Korean actor Kim Soo Hyun will be in front of the media.
18:51After he was involved in a dating scandal.
18:56When I was a minor, I didn't have sex.
19:06Soo Hyun was emotional and asked for permission to date Kim Se Ron.
19:10At the press conference, he admitted that he dated Kim Se Ron for a year.
19:16However, the actress was not a minor anymore.
19:19As an allegation to the actor, he groomed or had a relationship with Se Ron, who was only 15 years old.
19:28Soo Hyun also denied that his agency forced him to date the actress, who went home after his death.
19:37It's about the gold medalist who paid the damages of the drunk driving incident of Se Ron in 2022.
19:46Se Ron is a former talent that was said to be an agency.
19:49Now, Soo Hyun's field is full of complaints against the family of the actress and the YouTube channel, Hoverlab.
19:56They don't have a statement about what the actor said.
20:26Thank you for watching this video.
