00:07 Good morning. Here are the first news of GMI Integrated News.

00:12 On Monday, the computers were immediately disconnected from their computers this morning.

00:16 They were discarded one by one so that the rain won't get wet and they won't be late for their entry.

00:20 That's the first live news of James Agustin.

00:23 James.

00:29 Good morning.

00:30 The rain that we experienced here in Metro Manila made it harder for the commuters.

00:35 Some of them said that they left earlier because they were sure that the ride will be difficult.

00:42 The rain that we experienced in Magdamag and Quezon City is hard.

00:49 Sometimes, the rain is heavy.

00:51 Sometimes, it's light to the point of no return.

00:54 Like in Timog Avenue, Quezon Avenue, Elliptical Road, and Commonwealth Avenue.

01:00 It's past 4 in the morning and the commuters are having a hard time riding their bikes in Philcoa and Commonwealth Avenue.

01:06 That's why Resty is having a hard time traveling because he's from Bulacan and he's going to work in Mandaluyong.

01:12 He's wearing slippers so that his shoes won't get wet.

01:16 It's hard, sir. It's raining. It's hard to commute. It's hard to get around.

01:23 Bona, who is going to Cavite, also traveled early.

01:25 He's wearing plastic shoes because he's afraid of the rain.

01:30 So that the water won't get inside. My socks are getting wet.

01:34 Is it hard to ride in this weather?

01:38 It's hard.

01:40 Edwin, who is a security guard, spent extra time in the raincoat so that he won't be late for work.

01:46 He's wearing an improvised raincoat that he's been using for two years when it's raining.

01:52 I'm more comfortable here.

01:53 No matter what rain, strong rain, storm, there's no danger of getting wet or getting damaged.

02:00 I'm really comfortable riding.

02:02 It's just that when you go down, it's hard because you have to fix it.

02:06 Meanwhile, this is the situation here in the Philcoa area.

02:15 There are so many passengers.

02:18 Some are waiting to ride and some are already in the middle of the road.

02:22 They're already mixed. Some are going to work early. Some are going to work early.

02:25 And some students, because there are only a few barangays, are suspended from classes here in Quezon City.

02:32 In these times, the rain that we've been experiencing since the beginning of the pandemic is not strong,

02:38 but it's permissible for early commuters.

02:41 Let's look at the traffic.

02:43 This lane of Commonwealth Avenue is towards the elliptical road.

02:47 The situation is still good and the traffic is still moving.

02:50 The situation on the other lane of Commonwealth Avenue is more peaceful, which is towards the Fairview area.

02:57 That's all for the latest from Quezon City.

02:59 I'm James Agustin for JEMA Integrated News.

03:03 The residents of Calumpit, Bulacan are still facing problems due to the rain, which was accompanied by high tide.

03:09 58 families were evacuated to the evacuation center.

03:13 That's the first news of Jamie Santos.

03:16 [Post]

03:17 The rain is still heavy in Calumpit, Bulacan.

03:21 That's why some vehicles were left parked on the high road.

03:26 The flood was too much for some places in Maisulaw.

03:30 The residents are already waiting for their vehicles to go home.

03:35 Because the flood is still high, 58 families were evacuated.

03:41 Because of the rain that was accompanied by high tide, the flood here in Maisulaw, Calumpit is high.

03:46 That's why some families were evacuated to their safe haven and to the evacuation center.

03:52 But they have to go through the heavy rain.

03:56 This woman was asked to stay in the evacuation center.

04:00 They have a baby and the flood is already high in their area.

04:05 When we go outside, it's already raining but when we go inside, it's raining.

04:11 That's why you went here?

04:14 Yes, because we are already taking a rest.

04:17 How long will you continue to endure the flood?

04:19 Until the afternoon.

04:21 Until the afternoon? This is hard. You have to endure the flood.

04:25 Yes, that's how I got used to it.

04:27 This Monday, there was no entry in Maisulaw Elementary School.

04:32 Because of the continuous rain, the water level was so high.

04:35 We were hoping that it wouldn't happen because our residents are pitiful.

04:39 Because the high tide was high, there was no entry.

04:43 Last week, there was no entry.

04:45 The Doña Damiana De Leon Elementary School in Barangay San Miguel was submerged in the heavy flood.

04:52 Their students will do the modules first this Monday

04:56 because of the high tide inside the classrooms.

05:00 Here is the latest news. Jamie Santos for JIMEI Integrated News.

05:04 In the middle of the rainy season this weekend,

05:06 almost 30 families in two barangays in Valenzuela lost their homes because of the heavy flood.

05:11 One was injured.

05:13 We have the first news from Dano Tincunco.

05:15 In the heavy rain since Saturday night,

05:21 the residents of Makulanglupa and Ugong in Valenzuela were not surprised.

05:27 The rain was heavy on this popular day.

05:30 The flood caused the flood to reach 8 houses.

05:34 In total, there were 28 families or 113 people in one barangay that lost their homes.

05:42 17 families were in Makulanglupa.

05:45 11 were in Ugong.

05:47 The victims' story was quick and sudden.

05:52 But it was good that it happened early in the morning when everyone was awake and able to move.

05:57 I woke up at 8am.

05:59 I sat on the floor and I heard that the bricks had fallen.

06:06 When I looked at the window, I saw the wall.

06:13 Around 9.30am, I saw the wall collapse.

06:18 When it collapsed, everyone was screaming and panicking.

06:22 The second time it collapsed, I saw the CR outside.

06:29 That's when the wall cracked.

06:35 The only school supplies that the victims' children could save were their own children.

06:41 Carlos, who just came back from work, saved his own wife and child.

06:47 His house was one of the houses that was completely destroyed by the collapse of the wall.

06:51 I woke up at 7am.

06:54 When I got home at 7am, I felt that the wall was about to collapse.

07:10 I woke up my wife and my child.

07:15 I carried them downstairs.

07:17 I couldn't think of anything else but my wife and child.

07:22 I couldn't think of anything else. I couldn't save anything.

07:25 The victim was one of the members of the Bureau of Fire Protection and CR.

07:29 In an interview with the Valenzuela City Government, based on the first rapid visual assessment and analysis of the building official,

07:36 it was clear that it was raining heavily so that the floor and walls were filled with water.

07:44 It is now considered dangerous to enter the area and anyone who is near or enters the danger zone is prohibited.

07:51 Meanwhile, the families of the two evacuation centers who lost their homes and their belongings were brought here.

07:58 They were also given assistance by the Kapwa City Social Welfare Office, the SWD, and the barangay.

08:03 The police and barangay are now guarding the area.

08:08 Valenzuela Vice Mayor Loren Atividad Borjas is talking to the affected residents to not forcefully return and get their belongings, especially since it is dangerous.

08:17 We cannot go to the area where you were before.

08:22 You can coordinate with the barangay on how we will go there.

08:27 We will give you a space.

08:30 That area, you cannot enter. It is prohibited.

08:34 This is the first news I will bring for the GMA Integrated News.

08:38 For an update on the building of walls in Valenzuela, we will be joined live by Susan Enriquez.

08:45 Susan.

08:46 We are now here in one of the houses.

08:52 As you can see, there's no fence inside.

08:56 The residents here need to evacuate because they might be affected by the landslide in the barangay.

09:04 Valenzuela City.

09:06 This is one of the houses.

09:08 But if you go out here, you will see the houses were only hit by the sand.

09:20 This big tree was the first to fall.

09:26 The wall was hit by the sand.

09:29 The collapse of the houses in this part of the barangay in Mapulanglupa in Valenzuela was the reason.

09:38 The rescue team of the barangay in Mapulanglupa is here to see what they can save for the affected residents.

09:49 Although the residents here were brought to evacuation centers.

09:53 Here is Mr. Agudo.

09:56 He is the head of the rescue team here in Mapulanglupa, Las Pinas.

10:02 M. Lu, please tell us what exactly happened.

10:06 Because it is still raining here, the rain is still heavy.

10:11 It has been raining for more than a week here, as we have experienced in other parts of the country.

10:18 M. Lu, what happened here?

10:20 This is what we saw.

10:22 At around 8, ma'am.

10:24 Yesterday?

10:26 Yes, yesterday. At around 8, we felt that the land was shaking.

10:33 There was shaking.

10:35 Then, at 9 in the morning, we received a call that there was a reported landslide here.

10:45 M. Lu, this landslide, we saw the walls, you gave the tree and the walls collided.

10:52 They collapsed at the same time.

10:54 Yes, ma'am. It was like a domino effect.

10:56 And the residents, you said it was at 8 in the morning.

10:59 When this happened, where were the residents at that time?

11:03 They were at their homes, ma'am. Others were outside.

11:06 So, the reported here is that you were the one who was injured?

11:09 Yes, ma'am. The injured is in the orthopedic.

11:14 Then, our evacuees, 11 were in 3S, Papulanlupa.

11:19 Then, the rest were in Old Barangay Hall of Barangay Ugong.

11:24 So, what we saw here, this is a long one, there are still houses there.

11:28 Who were the ones who were evacuated here? Was this the one on the side?

11:32 What is this? Is this a vacant lot? Is this a river? What is this? It's a bit deep. What is that?

11:37 That's a vacant lot, ma'am. It was just built by the residents.

11:42 But it's a bit deep, right? Yes, ma'am.

11:45 So, the ones who were here, the ones who were on the line here, were they evacuated too?

11:52 Yes, ma'am. We immediately assisted the residents and brought them to the evacuation center.

12:01 What will be their advice? Will they allow them to come back here considering what we saw?

12:11 The continuous rain will make it more soft. What will be the residents' opinion on this?

12:19 Later, ma'am. Our mayor and city engineering will assist if this place is still safe.

12:30 Thank you. Thank you. I am Lua Gudo, the head of rescue of the red lands of Barangay Papulanlupa, Valenzuela City.

12:37 As you can see, the land is really soft like other places.

12:41 So, we have reminders if you live on the side of rivers, mountains, or places like this.

12:49 Because of the continuous rain, we have been here for almost two weeks,

12:53 we will be careful and we will know the dangers that will befall us if we live in such places.

13:00 Anyway, they are still looking for rescue teams and if there are any survivors who can be given to the affected families.

13:08 But of course, we will assist if they allow to come back here.

13:13 The LGU of Valenzuela, the mayor and maybe the barangay officials will assist if the affected residents are safe to come back here.

13:24 The GMA Kapuso will provide relief goods to the affected residents.

13:31 We will provide relief goods to 27 families.

13:35 They were separated in two evacuation centers, the affected families,

13:40 in the earthquake that happened to some families here in Barangay Papulanlupa, Valenzuela City.

13:46 From here, let's go back to the studio.

13:49 The small businessmen and farmers will be affected by the price ceiling of rice, which is effective starting tomorrow,

13:54 according to the Philippine Chamber of Agriculture and Food Incorporated.

13:57 According to the group, it is possible that there will be no more rice to be sold in the market because they will not be able to earn.

14:02 The income of the farmers will also be affected because the traders will be forced to buy rice at a lower price.

14:09 The Department of Trade and Industry has called for the rice retailers to make a sacrifice first,

14:16 which is to approve the price cap on rice.

14:19 It is P41 per kilo of regular milled rice, while P45 per kilo of well-milled rice.

14:25 The DTI will also add to the price cap on rice if the rice is already ripe and the price is stable.

14:32 The National Economic and Development Authority will also approve the price cap temporarily.

14:37 According to the Price Act, the fine is P5,000 to P1,000,000 for those who do not comply with the price ceiling.

14:45 The price cap on rice will be implemented.

14:47 Are the retailers ready to follow this?

14:50 Let's find out in the first live news of Nico Juage.

14:53 Good morning, Nico. What did the retailers say?

14:57 Good morning, Maris.

15:02 The retailers are saying that it is not that easy to implement the executive order issued by Malacanang.

15:11 But the retailers are happy because the price of rice will be P41 to P45.

15:17 P49 is the lowest price of rice here in Gerald's store.

15:26 P56 is the highest price.

15:28 According to him, he is one of the cheapest rice stores here in Kamuning Market.

15:33 Although it is cheaper than others, many retailers are still looking for a lower price.

15:40 They want to give a rise to the Executive Order No. 39 signed by President Bongbong Marcos

15:46 that from tomorrow, the price of regular milled rice should be P41 per kilo

15:51 and P45 per kilo of well-milled rice.

15:54 It is not that easy.

15:56 Our stock is still expensive.

15:59 The price of rice is still high.

16:02 So, we will still reduce the price.

16:04 They will lose money if the government will reduce the price.

16:09 They can do that if the next supply will be low.

16:13 For the mommies, it is good news.

16:16 Like Elsa, who was forced to increase the price of rice from P10 to P12.

16:22 It is a big help for us because we will save budget.

16:29 Yes, because the price of rice from P15 to P55 is now P55.

16:34 So, we increased the price to P5.

16:37 She will reduce the price of rice from P10 to P10 if she can buy rice at a lower price.

16:42 For Jioff, she might be able to buy 6 kilos of rice again because of the price cap that the government placed.

16:48 For now, she can only buy 5 kilos.

16:51 It is better.

16:53 But the budget is not enough.

16:57 Instead of buying food, we are now going to buy rice.

17:01 [Bus engine]

17:06 Marissa, she was surprised by the vendors here because they did not know that there will be an executive order that will be implemented this Tuesday.

17:17 President Bongbong Marcos ordered the Department of Agriculture and DTI to monitor the price of rice.

17:26 He also ordered the visitation of the markets, storage and warehouse to avoid hoarding, profiteering and other illegal activities.

17:36 Live from Kamuning Market in Quezon City, I am Nico Juae for GMA Integrated News.

17:42 We might go back to 3S Center in Valenzuela City where 11 families were evacuated yesterday.

17:53 Two barangays are involved, Barangay Ugong and Barangay Mapulang Lupa in Valenzuela.

17:58 The 11 families from Barangay Mapulang Lupa are here in 3S Center.

18:03 They are here temporarily and we will be in touch with the people here.

18:09 Ma'am, can we talk to you for a while?

18:12 Ma'am, we are here outside.

18:14 It looks like we are still sleeping there.

18:16 What is your name, ma'am?

18:18 Rowena De Leon.

18:21 Where were you yesterday when the earthquake happened?

18:23 I went inside the factory, ma'am. My son called me.

18:26 You were not at home? What happened?

18:28 I was not there. I have two children. My grandchild is outside.

18:31 How was what happened in your house?

18:33 Ma'am, as you can see here, the other side was destroyed.

18:38 Are you going to return?

18:40 No, ma'am. The other things are not that important. I took them yesterday.

18:45 Do you have a plan to return?

18:48 I don't want to return, ma'am. Everything is really dangerous.

18:51 But if I return, I would like to.

18:53 If you are going to be given a relocation and you don't want to return there.

18:57 Thank you very much. We will accept it with great sadness, ma'am.

19:02 I am a solo parent, ma'am. That's why I would like to have that.

19:06 How was your stay here? Was the earthquake okay?

19:08 It was very good, ma'am. Thank you very much to our captain and our mayor.

19:13 Thank you very much to you, too.

19:16 Thank you to all the affected families in the land acquisition in Valenzuela.

19:21 And this morning, the mayor will go to that place to have an assessment.

19:26 If they will be allowed to return, how many people want to return,

19:29 or if the residents of Valenzuela City are really safe.

19:34 Mayor Gatchalian will have an assessment here.

19:38 And this is the show.

19:41 This is where Kapuso's actress, Carla Aveliana, will see how she prepares for her roles.

19:46 Carla shared on her Instagram a picture of her writing on a paper in Manila.

19:51 While there's another one hanging.

19:53 She said that's how she prepares when her lines are long and many.

19:57 She added that sometimes her preparation takes up to 3 months.

20:02 Carla was the last to appear in Walt Disney's 5th Legacy as Dr. Mary Ann Armstrong.

20:10 And Steve Bigbert as Little John.

20:12 Love Before Sunrise star, Bea Alonso, mentioned that she has a fangirl moment

20:16 when she met Phil Amp's social media influencer, Bretman Rock.

20:20 I'll do it like this.

20:22 I'll do what Bretman Rock said.

20:25 She did it like this.

20:27 I'm such a big fan.

20:29 She said, "Me too, queen!"

20:31 I was so excited.

20:33 That's what Bea's air in her tipsy Q&A vlog.

20:37 This week, both Bea and Bretman visited Vogue Philippines' Gala Night.

20:40 Bretman invited her to join the trending bathroom groupie.

20:45 Bea's story is that she invited Dominic Rock's wife, who is an influencer.

20:50 The question is, when is the wedding day?

20:53 Do you have a date for your wedding?

20:58 We don't have one yet.

21:00 We don't have a date yet, but hopefully it's gonna be next year.

21:04 To avoid accidents, concrete barriers are being placed on Commonwealth Avenue.

21:09 For more details on this, from Quezon City, my live report, Bam Alegre.

21:14 Susan, good morning.

21:20 Especially when it's raining like this,

21:22 it's more dangerous for cyclists to travel on Commonwealth Avenue.

21:27 So, concrete barriers are being installed.

21:30 Once upon a time, motorcycle riders were talking about the lanes in EDSA that are meant for cyclists.

21:36 There's a risk that some riders will still get lost, especially if there's no one to watch them.

21:40 Commonwealth Avenue is also one of the first streets in Metro Manila that has dedicated bike lanes.

21:45 And like in EDSA, some motorcycle riders are crossing the bike lane even though it's prohibited.

21:50 To prevent that, some concrete barriers are being laid for the bicycle lanes.

21:56 According to the local government of Quezon City, road sharing is in the way on Commonwealth Avenue.

22:00 Especially when Rush Hour started here on the road that was also called the Killer Highway by DangerousRoads.org.

22:06 The new concrete barrier can be seen on the southbound lane of Commonwealth Avenue near Felkoa.

22:11 Now, in 2023, more people are using bicycles in the country based on the Social Weather Station or SWS service.

22:19 It's around 10 million or 36 percent. It's higher than the 29 percent or 7.3 million cycling households in 2022.

22:27 The survey conducted from March 26 to March 29, 2023, showed sampling error margins of plus/minus 2.8 percent.

22:44 [ambient traffic noise]

22:49 Susan, according to the survey, there are several reasons why cyclists are using bicycles to save on massages and for their health.

22:56 And at this time, it's Rush Hour here on Commonwealth Avenue, southbound lane.

23:00 You can see that there's traffic behind us.

23:02 Here's the first news from Commonwealth Avenue, Bamalegre for GMA Integrated News.
