00:29 This is the actual bombing of a large Chinese Coast Guard ship
00:34 against a Philippine ship.
00:36 According to the Philippine Coast Guard, this happened yesterday, August 5.
00:39 According to the PCG, the Chinese blocked and bombed the PCG vessel
00:43 that was escorting the ship.
00:45 According to the AFP, this was their mission for the resupply mission
00:49 to the BRP Sierra Madre in Ayungin, Shol.
00:51 According to the AFP, one of their missions was also to bomb the ship.
00:56 According to the pictures uploaded by the PCG, two CCG vessels were involved in the incident.
01:02 The PCG also accused China of doing something "delicate and illegal".
01:07 The PCG called on the China Coast Guard to comply with international law
01:12 and to stop any illegal activity in the Philippine maritime zones.
01:16 The AFP also called the China's actions excessive and offensive
01:22 to the Philippine sea vehicles
01:24 because of the PCG's "delicate manoeuvring"
01:27 and the failure to supply the BRP Sierra Madre's soldiers.
01:32 In another statement on the China Coast Guard website,
01:34 the PCG spokesman said that they only did the right action
01:39 to stop the Philippine sea vehicles
01:43 that they accused of entering and carrying illegal building materials.
01:48 They have indisputable sovereignty over China, the Nansha or Spratly Islands
01:54 and the nearby seas including the Second Thaumas Shoal or Ayungin Shoal.
01:59 The Philippines was also supported by its allies like Australia, Japan, Canada and America
02:07 and the European Union
02:09 who both called for the compliance and respect of the UNCLOS
02:13 or United Nations Convention for the Law of the Sea in the South China Sea
02:17 to maintain stability in the region.
02:19 The US State Department said that the armed attack on the military
02:24 and public sea vehicles and the Philippine coast guard
02:28 including the coast guard in the South China Sea
02:30 can be justified under the US-Philippine Mutual Defense Treaty.
02:34 This is not the first time that the China Coast Guard's water cannon
02:38 has hit the Philippine ships in our territory.
02:40 This happened in the Scarborough Shoal in 2014 and 2015
02:44 and in the Ayungin Shoal in 2021.
02:46 According to the maritime expert, Professor J. Batong-Bacal,
02:50 he thinks that China will not stop until the Philippines is not forced to leave the Ayungin Shoal
02:55 and other places that are included in the exclusive economic zone of the Philippines.
02:59 Batong-Bacal also thinks that China will target other countries next.
03:04 We are trying to get additional information from the PCG, AFP
03:08 and the Foreign Affairs and Defense Departments
03:11 but they said that they will give a statement tomorrow in a press conference.
03:14 We are also asking for the permission of the Chinese Embassy.
03:17 For GMA Integrated News, Jonathan Andal, Nakatutok, 24 Hours.
03:22 There is a big time price hike in the oil product
03:26 and according to the Energy Department, the price of crude oil may not stop rising.
03:31 The Taas Pasaheng Grupo ng Majip has a petition that the LTFRB is still studying.
03:36 Nakatutok, Joseph Moro.
03:41 After a price increase of less than 3 pesos per liter of diesel and less than 2 pesos per liter of gasoline,
03:47 last week, according to industry sources, the price of diesel this week is less than 4 pesos per liter
03:54 and 10 to 15 cents for gasoline and less than 2 to 3 pesos for kerosene.
03:59 If ever, the price of diesel per liter is possible to be 57 to 71 pesos.
04:05 Gasoline is 56 to 78 pesos and kerosene is 73 to 86 pesos.
04:11 DOE said that the price of crude oil may not stop rising because their production in Saudi Arabia decreased.
04:18 We have been observing this effect before we went back to 70, almost 78.
04:28 But this is really going up to almost 87.
04:32 It went up to 130 in June.
04:36 It's only around 8.
04:38 It's decreasing.
04:41 We're just hungry.
04:43 There is a petition that the LTFRB is still studying the groups of jeeps that are asking for pesos
04:50 to be added to their prices every rush hour, from 5 in the morning to 8 in the morning
04:55 and from 5 in the afternoon to 8 in the evening.
04:59 The LTFRB is still studying this.
05:02 According to the commuters we talked to, why would they add the jeeps to their prices?
05:09 Pesos are a big part of their lives because they are living in poverty.
05:12 The Pasang Masda, one of the petitioners, said that this is not permanent if the LTFRB allows it.
05:20 We will just give and take situation and we will discuss.
05:24 When it normalizes, we will recall and we will discuss where the pesos are.
05:29 We are just studying.
05:31 But definitely, not in the parameters that when it reaches 5 o'clock up to 8 o'clock,
05:37 the interest will increase.
05:40 It's hard because that's the measurement.
05:42 Maybe it will be easier if the Pasaje is just raised by the Baguia.
05:46 As to how much is that, we would have to wait for NEDA to tell us.
05:51 It could be anything between 20 centavos to about 50 centavos.
05:56 There is also a 6,000 pesos aid per unit of jeep and tricycle that will be given to the LTFRB
06:02 and they are just waiting for the Department of Transportation to pass the information on when it will be given.
06:08 For GMA Integrated News, Joseph Morong, for 24 Hours.
06:12 The sellers are also afraid of the rising prices of rice.
06:18 But if President Bongbong Marcos will be president, no one should be in charge of its supply.
06:23 Katrina Sol is on the air.
06:25 The next storm that was accompanied by a storm,
06:31 hit many rice fields and crops like the Kasiguran Aurora.
06:36 It's a waste if I let it go.
06:38 What's wrong is that it's double the cost. It's hard.
06:43 In Quintapawan City, the price of rice has increased within two weeks
06:47 because of the low supply.
06:49 Local rice is sold for 44 pesos per kilo.
06:52 The imported is 50 to 52 pesos.
06:55 In Mega Q Mart in Quezon City,
06:57 3 to 6 pesos were increased per kilo of rice compared to the last few weeks.
07:03 Like Ms. Violeta, instead of 5 kilos, she will buy 3 kilos first.
07:09 Her budget is not enough.
07:11 Sometimes, I don't have enough money.
07:13 I don't have enough money to save.
07:17 I need to save.
07:20 Instead of not eating, I can eat somehow.
07:25 I just need to save a little.
07:27 Even rice sellers are afraid because of the rising prices of rice.
07:32 The prices of rice are increasing.
07:34 Our trip is really increasing.
07:37 The prices of rice are rising.
07:38 They are reducing the prices of their food.
07:41 According to SINAG, the rising prices of rice have nothing to do with the passing of time.
07:47 It is expected that the prices will go down this October.
07:51 The rice is a small quantity.
07:54 The prices of rice are really rising.
07:59 By October to December,
08:01 our expected rice is around 7.4 million metric tons of rice.
08:11 If it will become rice, it is around 4.6 million metric tons of rice.
08:19 We don't see any problem.
08:23 Up to March next year, April.
08:27 President Bongbong Marcos assured that there is nothing to be worried about the rice supply in the country.
08:33 We have enough rice supply and we have nothing to be worried about.
08:38 The NFA is the emergency, that's why we have buffer stock.
08:42 Now, we are making sure that the NFA has more buffer stock
08:48 because the number of cases is increasing here in the Philippines.
08:53 The reason why the prices are rising is because of the rising demand around the world.
08:58 The preparation of the Southeast Asian countries in El Nino is happening simultaneously.
09:03 That's why the purchase of rice is happening simultaneously.
09:05 We are talking about giving them a chance to import rice.
09:11 But we will only do this if the supply is not enough.
09:15 For Jimmy Integrated News, Katrina Son, Nakatutok, 24 Hours.
09:21 Three people were arrested in the anti-drug operation in Mako, Orcavite.
09:25 According to the police, the driver, electrician and a mechanic were the suspects who were involved in the drug debt.
09:32 The amount of money that was taken from the suspects was around P70,000.
09:38 Two men were found dead inside a septic tank in a mall in Laguna.
09:44 According to the investigation, the victims were possibly suffocated while cleaning the tank.
09:48 The police is still investigating and they have not found any foul play.
09:53 Lava ejection or the lava coming from the volcano Mayon, 24 Hours.
10:01 According to the Philippines Box, the magmatic unrest is still showing in the volcano.
10:05 It is still releasing sulfur dioxide.
10:08 The volcano is still in alert level 3.
10:10 That's why it is still prohibited to stay in its 6-kilometer permanent danger zone.
10:17 The stolen cellphones, SIM cards and laptops that are believed to be used for scams
10:22 were found in the office of the head of the PASAY Cyber Scam.
10:26 Nakatutok, Danoting Cunco.
10:28 The DOJ and the Presidential Anti-Organized Crime Commission of Pao
10:36 invaded the house in Pasay City that is used for various types of money scams.
10:40 The stolen SIM cards, cellphones and other devices were found there.
10:45 The other rooms in the house were opened by the authorities.
10:52 In the 6th room, 3 new vaults were discovered.
10:59 In one room, there are stolen cellphones and laptops.
11:03 But in the workstations, there are no more computers.
11:06 In another room, there are also stolen SIM cards that are believed to be used for scams.
11:14 When we first arrived here, the phones were in a bag.
11:18 There are money in it.
11:20 The authorities are also interested in the contents of the 30 vaults that were found in the house
11:26 that will serve as evidence against the operation.
11:29 All vaults are not yet opened until a court order is issued for this.
11:35 We will ask for a court order to open, to break open those vaults,
11:40 to conduct an inventory if ever there are money inside or whatever are inside.
11:46 The allegation here is they're conducting investment scams.
11:49 Different types of scams, all related to money.
11:52 So, the product of the crime would be the money found here.
11:57 Tomorrow, DOJ and PAOC were able to reach the Telcos and the SIM cards.
12:04 They are also processing the court order to open the vaults.
12:08 They will also formally request the Anti-Money Laundering Commission or AMLAC to witness the opening of the vaults.
12:14 For GMA Integrated News, I'm Dano Tincun, for Tutok 24 Horas.
12:18 The enrollment continues in their studies in Northern and Central Luzon,
12:23 even though there are still evacuees there.
12:25 Their residents are asking them not to leave until the flood has stopped.
12:30 This is what Claire Lacanilau of GMA Regional TV 1 North Central Luzon is reporting live.
12:36 Claire?
12:38 Some residents are still in the evacuation center because their houses are still submerged in the flood.
12:45 In some schools, there are still evacuees.
12:47 There's no more storm, but some of the residents are still struggling because of the left-over floods.
12:57 Julie has been in the evacuation center for more than a week because her house is still submerged in the flood.
13:03 She called for them to stay for a few more days to stay in the evacuation center.
13:08 I hope we can be helped because we are in a difficult situation.
13:16 According to the barangay official, they are still in the evacuation center.
13:22 Those who want to stay, it's okay because the school is looking after the safety of our evacuees.
13:30 They will be placed in a building.
13:33 Tomorrow, enrollment will start in East Central Integrated School where Julie is staying.
13:39 Even though we have evacuees who are still left, our enrollment will be pushed.
13:46 According to DepEd Schools Division Office 1, even though there are flood-affected students,
13:51 this will not affect the enrollment in August 29.
13:56 There are cases wherein, for example, the roofs of other schools for reconstruction or repair could actually have shifting.
14:07 At present, the flood-affected areas in Dagupan City are still in 12 barangays.
14:13 In Pampanga, 25 barangays in Makabebe are still flooded.
14:19 In Barangay San Vicente, residents are still using boats to transport their belongings because the flood is still high.
14:26 In Domingo B. Flores District Hospital, the boat is also used to transport patients because the flood is already high from the gate to the entrance of the hospital.
14:35 The damage assessment of DepEd Pangasinan Schools Division Office is still ongoing
14:45 regarding the flood-affected areas. The relief packs of LGU will continue to distribute to affected residents.
14:54 Thank you very much. Claire Lacanilao of GMA Regional TV 1 North Central Luzon.
15:00 How will tomorrow be?
15:12 Let's find out from Anjo Portiera of GMA Integrated News Weather Center.
15:17 Anjo?
15:18 Thank you Pia. Good evening Kapuso and good news.
15:22 Because a large part of the country will experience better weather tomorrow.
15:27 But we still expect rain in the western section of Luzon because of the low tide.
15:32 Based on the data of the Metro Weather, there is a strong rain in Bataan, Sambales, Benguet, Calinga, Pangasinan, and Mindoro.
15:41 We also expect rain in Cebu, Cagayan, and Soxargen Region.
15:45 The chance of rain in Metro Manila is low but localised thunderstorms are possible.
15:52 Because of the low tide, it will be difficult to sail on the northern seaboard of Northern Luzon.
15:57 So, it is dangerous for those who have a small sea vehicle to sail there.
16:00 And that is the latest in the weather.
16:03 I am Anjo Portiera. This is GMA Integrated News Weather Center.
16:07 We expect any weather.
16:09 Next, giveaway events in America that are full of chaos.
16:13 And those who joined the trending "Abot Kamay ng Pangarap" stunt.
16:22 There is no end to learning in 24 Hours Weekend.
16:26 No learning is in vain on this 24-hour weekend.
