00:07 the possible price increase for oil will be less than 2 pesos next week.
00:12 Until December, the price will be increasing.
00:15 That's why the drivers appealed to the government to lower the price
00:19 in favor of the Department of Energy in favor of the approval of Bernadette Reyes.

00:25 The Department of Energy prepared the public for the unwavering increase in price for oil until December.
00:31 On Tuesday, the price of oil was again a big-time all-price hike,
00:35 which is expected to be around 2 pesos per liter.
00:38 There is a slight chance of gasoline not passing, but diesel and kerosene are there.
00:48 2 pesos?
00:49 Yes.
00:50 According to an oil industry source, the price of diesel is over 2 pesos,
00:55 while gasoline is almost 2 pesos.
00:57 According to the UNIOIL, the price of diesel is up to 2 pesos and 40 centavos per liter,
01:03 and gasoline is up to 1 peso and 80 centavos per liter.
01:06 The drivers appealed to the government to lower the price of oil.
01:10 They should control the price of crude oil because our trip is already hard.
01:16 We are barely making money.
01:18 It's fast to increase the price, but it's hard to lower it.
01:22 According to the Energy Department, the government cannot control the price of oil.
01:26 The supply is affected by the reduction in the production of Saudi Arabia and Russia,
01:30 and the supply of Libya is a problem due to the Kamakaylan flood.
01:34 The DOE added that the funds for aid will come from oil.
01:38 There is no difference if the drivers will just directly pass the oil.
01:43 Where do we get the funds?
01:45 We can say that no one will pay.
01:47 For GMA Integrated News, Brunette Reyes, 24 Hours.
01:52 Not only was it destroyed, but the debris of the Rosul Reef in the West Philippine Sea
01:58 was also almost destroyed.
01:59 According to the AFP, this is also possible due to the Chinese militia ships,
02:03 and they fear that this could affect food security.
02:07 J.P. Soriano was on the scene.
02:10 [Music]
02:16 The coral reefs or "bahura" that are inhabited by fish
02:23 around the Rosul Reef or Iroquois Reef, which is in the exclusive economic zone of the Philippines,
02:29 were almost destroyed.
02:30 According to divers of the Philippine Navy who visited and filmed the area
02:35 after some military ships left, the Chinese militia vessels on July 12.
02:40 We pinpointed the swarming areas, and then when they left,
02:47 we sent out our divers to do an underwater survey.
02:50 The corals were destroyed and there were debris.
02:53 The Philippine Navy divers also pointed out the rocks, which are known to be full of coral.
03:00 Just a naked eye, an unclaimed eye. The corals look like they just got caught.
03:07 We are not making any conclusions at this time. It's a work in progress.
03:11 But we just want to report that we noticed coral harvesting in the area
03:17 where they were seen loitering and swarming.
03:22 It is not yet clear what the coral that the Chinese militia vessels are doing.
03:27 The AFP is already communicating with marine biologists and experts
03:32 to find out the effect of coral harvesting on the fish supply.
03:37 But the AFP said it could affect food security.
03:42 If they are really into coral harvesting, that will be affecting the production of fish.
03:50 That is a threat to food security later on, not just to us, but to the whole world.
03:56 According to the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Flora and Fauna or CITES,
04:03 international coral trade is regulated, but an export permit is needed
04:08 to ensure protection even for coral that are not yet endangered.
04:13 But aside from the rich seas like corals,
04:16 it seems that the Chinese military militia vessel in the West Philippine Sea has a deeper connection to the AFP.
04:24 The Recto Bank is located near the Rosal Reef,
04:27 which is also inside the territorial sea and exclusive economic zone of the Philippines.
04:33 We are monitoring the Recto Bank because it is oil and gas rich based on survey.
04:39 And we also noticed them to be swarming in Ares Bank.
04:43 They also have presence on the western side of the Recto Bank.
04:48 So they are clinging to the Recto.
04:50 More than 20 Chinese military militia vessels were added to the Rosal Reef.
04:56 Based on the latest report, the number of people in Iroquois has increased.
05:03 The number of people in Rosal Reef has increased to 40 as of last night.
05:09 But the good news is we also have our presence there.
05:13 The Chinese embassy in the Philippines has yet to respond to the AFP's threat.
05:18 But in their last statement, the Chinese ministry has reduced the area of their territory to the entire West Philippine Sea.
05:27 This claim was previously destroyed and has no basis based on the 2016 arbitral ruling for GMA Integrated News.
05:36 JP Soriano, 24 Hours.
05:40 Even though the last 6 suspects were arrested for the disappearance of 6 divers in Manila Arena last year,
05:47 the PNP is still considering who the mastermind of the crime is.
05:51 One of the missing divers is known to have a doubt.
05:55 That is the joint force of Namab Gonzalez and Marisol Abdurrahman.
05:59 Security guards in Manila Cockpit Arena,
06:05 which included Julie Patidongan, Gleer Codilla, Marcarlo Zabala,
06:11 Virgilio Bayog, Roberto Mateliano Jr. and John Reconciliation, are the 6 suspects in the disappearance of 6 divers.
06:19 According to CIDG, they were detained for 2 months until they were arrested by 2 separate subdivisions in Paranaque with the help of the TEPNANG Informant.
06:28 Especially Julie Patidongan, he's from Indanao.
06:31 We started from there and they were transferred to other areas.
06:36 It was a tedious work where we had the opportunity to take them down.
06:45 The PNP chief, General Benjamin Acorda, is still trying to find out who the owner of the house where the suspects were arrested is.
06:53 They are possibly accused of obstruction of justice if the suspects are proven to have been involved.
06:58 Acorda is still hoping that the suspects will help him.
07:01 He's still trying to figure out who the mastermind is and where the divers are after they went to the cockpit on January 13, 2022.
07:10 The most effective that could connect to the mastermind are the suspects.
07:15 I'm hoping that they will speak.
07:19 There are some indications that some of them are willing to speak but we don't want to be the first.
07:24 We are used to asking questions.
07:26 They declined to comment and we will let it go to the court.
07:31 There are info gaps that we want to fill in.
07:36 We will try to put them here for further exploitation and we might be able to t-shirt evidence.
07:46 Earlier, GMA Integrated News tried to talk to the suspects but they refused to speak.
07:52 The SITG in Bungero continued the investigation.
07:56 In the GMA Integrated News' interview with the suspects' lawyer, Attorney Angelo Santos,
08:02 he did not talk to his clients.
08:05 He also refused to give an explanation because the case that the suspects will face is ongoing.
08:11 He also said that he has no idea about the six suspects' whereabouts in the houses in Parañaque.
08:16 The partner of one of the missing persons in Bungero said that the six suspects were planted.
08:22 They said that the six suspects need to leave the area to dismiss the case.
08:28 Attorney Santos also denied this.
08:30 He arrested the suspects in the absence of a warrant of arrest and now they are in detention.
08:35 The TNT is urging anyone who has information on the case to approach them.
08:41 We will provide them with proper protection so that they will be safe if ever they come out in the open.
08:52 They also said that there are rumors that the family of the missing persons in Bungero is being watched.
08:57 The reports that we recanted their statements, hopefully they will consider.
09:03 We at CIDG, or PNP in particular, in general, or even us in the government, we want to serve justice to these people.
09:16 We are continuing to get information on the other family members of the victims, including DOJ.
09:22 The investigation of the six suspects will be conducted next week.
09:25 According to the PNP, 34 people are missing in Bungero.
09:30 For GMA Integrated News, Marisol Abdurrahman.
09:35 Ma'am Gonzales, 24 hours.
09:39 While the police were talking in Massachusetts, America,
09:44 their driver was hit by a car due to violation of traffic laws.
09:50 A police officer got in the car and fell.
09:53 The police left the injured driver in the incident.
09:58 The suspect also got in a chase.
10:00 He was charged with multiple charges, such as assault, battery with a dangerous weapon, and pushing a fentanyl.
10:08 Harvest season or the harvest of rice.
10:13 It is expected that the supply will increase and the price will go down.
10:16 Is it possible to get rid of the price cap?
10:19 Bernadette Reyes is on the scene.
10:24 100 days is enough for Christmas.
10:28 But will Christmas be merry for Filipinos?
10:31 If the price of rice is still high.
10:35 Even if the government increased the price cap for regular and well-milled rice,
10:40 the better quality of rice still reaches P50.
10:45 The good news is that according to the Industrial Agricultural Association,
10:49 the price of rice will gradually go down.
10:54 If we harvest towards December, the price will return to normal at P43, P44.
11:03 If we harvest, the price will return without importing, without lowering of tariff.
11:12 So according to the Sinag, the government can now lift the price cap for the coming weeks.
11:19 The end of the bag is okay.
11:21 We will see the harvest of September, the full harvest of September,
11:29 in which 2.7 million metric tons of rice will be left to be harvested.
11:40 We tried to get permission from the DA and DTI,
11:44 but they said that the price cap will be implemented temporarily.
11:49 According to some rice retailers here in the Commonwealth Market in Quezon City,
11:53 the price of rice is gradually going down from their suppliers.
11:57 For now, there is something that can be bought for P40 per kilo,
12:01 but its color is more yellowish than other types of rice.
12:05 We got this one, the white one, but it's still yellowish.
12:12 But it's okay to eat.
12:14 In a pop-up store in New Believed Prison in Montinlupa,
12:18 earlier this morning, the price of rice was P44 to P45, so it was sold out immediately.
12:23 But for the consumer group that is watching the rice,
12:26 even if the price of rice drops to P43, it is still heavy in the pocket of many consumers.
12:32 At least P34 to P36, and it can be done if the government itself subsidizes the price of rice.
12:44 For GMA Integrated News, Bernadette Reyes, Nakatuto 24 Horas.
12:49 Meanwhile, the voters in the fluvial procession today in Virgen, Peña, Francia,
12:56 and from Naga City, Jessica Calinog of GMA Regional TV, Balitang Bicolandia.
13:03 Jessica?
13:04 Pia, just a few minutes ago, the images of the Lord God and of Our Lady of Peña, Francia,
13:11 arrived here in Basilica Menor.
13:14 These people were happy to be welcomed by thousands of devotees while their white clothes were being torn.
13:22 [music]
13:26 Just this afternoon, many were already waiting in Basilica Menor for the arrival of the images of the Lord God and of Our Lady of Peña, Francia.
13:35 Today is the last day of the 9 days novena for the beloved mother.
13:39 Today is also the day that her image will be returned to Basilica Menor.
13:43 After the 9th novena mass, past 3 pm, the food procession from Naga Metropolitan Cathedral
13:51 will head to the village of Dinaga where the images of the Lord God and of Our Lady of Peña will be transported
13:57 together with the 200 devotees, most of whom are catechists.
14:01 From here, the Lord God will pull the 156 small boats.
14:06 Thousands of devotees are also waiting in the parts of the Naga River that are being passed by the fluvial procession.
14:13 The security is tight for this big activity.
14:17 Canine units are also going around.
14:19 Before the fluvial procession, the Naga City Police Office in the San Jose Conference Hall also took action
14:25 so that the devotees will not be able to go up to the statue of the Lord God and of Our Lady of Peña, Francia.
14:33 But some still insisted on approaching the images.
14:42 For now, Pia is preparing here in Basilica Menor for a holy mass that will be held and led by the Apostolic Nuncio to the Philippines,
14:50 Most Reverend Charles Brown, together with Archbishop Rolando Tria Tirona of the Archdiocese of Caceres.
14:57 Today, Pia, the 100 days countdown for Christmas and for the devotees of Our Lady of Peña, Francia,
15:06 will be the early Christmas gift. They will be able to experience the opportunity to go and be alone in one of the biggest religious activities in Bicol Region,
15:15 the fluvial procession here in Naga City.
15:18 That's the latest from Naga City, Camarines Sur. Back to you, Pia.
