06:24 in the area of Masarambaco, Tapodioro, Tumartes.
06:30 Around it are the houses that were covered by mud.
06:34 From the cliff, the width of the mud is seen and it is like being left in the mountains.
06:40 8 am earlier, the excavation started again to collect the remains.
06:45 It was stopped for a few hours because of the shaking of the mud.
06:50 It is estimated that 11 are still alive.
06:54 I was expecting that I would be the only one left.
06:58 I was expecting that I would be the only one left.
07:01 The owner of the house, Mr. Necrestina Cordero,
07:04 is still inside the house and called his wife before the excavation.
07:09 He is not seen yet.
07:11 I am not alive because the mud is shaking.
07:15 According to the Mako MDR-RMO, 110 people are still being searched.
07:20 I think we are hopeful for that.
07:22 Hoping that there are still a lot of individuals and survivors.
07:27 The members of the UP Nationwide Operational Assessment of Hazards or NOAA
07:32 used artificial intelligence and the help of volunteer mappers
07:36 to create a GPS map where the exact locations of each house in Masara are seen.
07:42 It is hoped that this will help in the continued search for the victims.
07:46 The heavy rainfall is seen as the root of the earthquake.
07:49 According to UP NOAA, the strongest rainfall from January 31 to February 1.
07:55 The town of Mako is also under the flood warning forecast of NOAA on January 30.
08:00 In fact, the threshold that we set for the forecast was a minimum of a 75-year rain return.
08:05 That means that this type of rain is only repeated every 75 years.
08:11 It takes a long time for that type of rain to happen again.
08:15 And it happened.
08:16 And the unstable slopes, right?
08:20 When you are at the sea and you build a sandcastle, it can be built but it is unstable, right?
08:27 So there is a little push, like a heavy rainfall, for it to change.
08:34 It was also revealed in their survey that there was a landslide in Barangay Masara in 2008
08:39 that caused more than 20 high-rise buildings to collapse.
08:42 The first reason is that the area is very dry.
08:46 We all know that gravity never sleeps.
08:49 The gravity pulls continuously on the mountains, right?
08:55 Which makes that area unstable.
08:59 And that's why it is prone to landslide hazards.
09:05 The Mako MDRRMO confirmed that more than 1,000 families were affected by the landslide
09:11 from Barangay Masara, Mainit, El Ezalde and Tagbarus.
09:16 Joe Ancagas is a resident.
09:18 He witnessed many landslides in his area.
09:21 The rain is more frequent and heavy.
09:24 But despite that, he will still return to his area
09:28 because that is where he will find a job and even his house was destroyed by the landslide.
09:33 This is also what other affected residents want to happen.
09:36 I'm scared.
09:37 For now, it's not yet.
09:39 But we will return when it's okay.
09:41 I want to return here.
09:43 This is where I will find a job.
09:45 They are comfortable here in the evacuation center.
09:48 According to the residents, they were not deprived of food during the evacuation
09:53 because the help of the LGU and other organizations continues to distribute it.
09:57 What else do you need here?
09:59 Food, sir. It's okay.
10:00 Since this morning, the help for the evacuees continues.
10:04 The Mines and Geosciences Bureau 11 continues to investigate
10:08 to find out if the residents of Barangay Masara have returned safely.
10:12 We will first look at what will be the recommendation of the so-called agency.
10:18 Lagmay believes that if it is not practical to evacuate the barangay from the landslide prone area,
10:23 there should be a system of evacuation for the residents
10:26 whenever there is a forecast of heavy rain and a poor safety assessment before they return.
10:31 We are still monitoring the results of the search and retrieval operations of the evacuees there.
10:41 We will not enter the area where the landslide happened because it is still dangerous
10:47 and there are still people who can feel the movement of the land.
10:50 Live from Davao de Oro for GMA Integrated News, I am Jess.
10:54 This is your host, Jemmy Original TV, Juan Mildonado.
10:59 Before the Chinese New Year is celebrated in some parts of the country,
11:03 many people travel to the provinces, especially Oscar Oida, who is a holiday tomorrow.
11:11 This is not an airport, but one of the four train stations in Shanghai,
11:20 the largest in the whole of China.
11:23 It is full of people who are chasing the province for the Lunar New Year or Chinese New Year on Saturday.
11:30 Even in the southern part of Beijing, there are also last-minute travelers.
11:35 In China, the Lunar New Year is a 40-day holiday.
11:39 And at that time, according to state media, it is expected to be in the Shanghai Domestic Trips.
11:46 The Chinese New Year is also a long weekend here in the Philippines.
11:52 Aside from Saturday, there are also special non-working days and even Vespers.
11:56 That is why it is possible to take a long vacation.
12:00 Like some passengers who came to PITX to visit the province.
12:06 It is hard to work, so it is tiring and draining.
12:10 So at least you have time to relax.
12:13 So you can be with your family.
12:15 It is a bit expensive to travel, but I am just doing it to be with my family.
12:23 According to the PITX, the buses are enough.
12:28 And because it is Valentine's Day on Wednesday, you can also buy flowers and other valentines gifts.
12:35 In Tuguegarao, the Chinese New Year was celebrated early.
12:43 Lions and dragons danced in a ball to show off their luck and to show off their bad luck.
12:50 Malabon Zoo was opened again.
12:55 Like Year of the Dragon, the reptiles were begging.
12:59 The living creature, Lolong Tu, the lion, Bayaw, and Greenie, the iguana.
13:06 The dragon symbolizes good luck, good health, and strength.
13:11 It means that the strength of the dragon will push the Philippines to be progressive in 2024.
13:17 The Chinese New Year is about belief, luck, and bad luck.
13:22 But an expert advised,
13:24 It is important to pray first and do good to your loved ones.
13:28 You do more charity if your luck cycle is low so you can gain good karma.
13:34 For GMIntegrated News, I'm Oscar Oida.
13:37 Succeed!
13:39 Provinces are experiencing drought, especially in February due to El Niño.
13:45 According to the forecast, 25 provinces will experience drought,
13:50 and 17 will experience dry spell.
13:54 By April, almost all provinces in the country will experience dry spell.
14:00 Dam levels are also being monitored, which are slowly decreasing.
14:04 If the rain will not reach the expected months, water rationing is not far.
14:10 There is still possibility that the rain will still be low in other places by May and June.
14:20 Jeepneys that did not consolidate will not be able to travel after the April 30 deadline.
14:28 According to the Department of Transportation, the House Committee on Transportation,
14:34 Jeepneys will not be registered as PUVs and their individual franchise will not be renewed.
14:42 The DOTR also promised that the consolidated traditional jeepneys can still travel after the deadline
14:49 because of the phase-out of these.
14:52 This will happen once the Local Public Transport Route Plan or LPTRP is approved.
14:59 Traditional jeepneys can still travel as long as they are roadworthy or in a condition to travel.
15:05 But according to some congressmen, consolidation should be made optional.
15:10 The recommendation will be discussed by the Project Steering Committee for the PUV Modernization Program next week.
15:17 For GMA Integrated News, Mark Salazar, your witness.
15:23 The plan to separate Mindanao from the Philippines will not succeed.
15:28 That is the statement of President Bongbong Marcos, who is calling for the cessation of the secession.
15:34 Witnesses are Maris Umali and Raffi Tima.
15:41 The new call for a separate Mindanao is doomed to fail, for it is anchored on a false premise, not to mention a sheer constitutional travesty.
15:55 This is the most clear statement of the President's decision to call for the secession of Mindanao from the Philippines.
16:00 President Bongbong Marcos made the statement in front of the negotiators, diplomatic corps,
16:05 and the most powerful companies in the country on the Constitution Day of the Philippine Constitution Association and Manila Overseas Press Club or MOPC.
16:14 He called on the country to break up the call of its negotiators.
16:18 The former President Rodrigo Duterte's call for the secession of Mindanao will be remembered
16:23 amid controversy surrounding the People's Initiative.
16:26 I strongly appeal to all concerned to stop this call for a separate Mindanao.
16:31 I have said it before and I will say it again here.
16:34 Our national territory will not be diminished.
16:39 We will continue to defend it.
16:41 This is my guarantee, not only throughout this term, but up to my dying breath.
16:46 The President also took the opportunity to give a statement in the heated discussion on the change in the Constitution.
16:53 The President clarified again that his administration's goal is only to talk about the economy in the process of amending the Constitution.
17:01 I will neither hinder this dialogue nor encroach on the prerogatives of Congress and the sovereign will of the Filipino people.
17:08 Our bicameral Congress and our built-in system of checks and balances are wonders to behold.
17:14 We must allow our democratic institutions and their mechanisms, made possible by our constitutional order, to take their natural course.
17:24 Former Chief Justice Renato Puno, the chairman of the PhilConsa,
17:28 in the midst of the calls for a change in the Constitution,
17:31 reminded the former Chief Justice in front of the President and the leader of the lowly Congress, Speaker Martin Romualdez.
17:38 We have yet to see the fullness of its transforming effects.
17:47 The cascading effects of this transformation necessarily demand a no-nonsense look on the need to amend or revise our 1987 Constitution.
18:06 Here, in front of the leaders and the moral government, President Marcos spoke.
18:13 A new Philippines is incomplete without a Bangsamoro rising along within it.
18:19 A stronger BARM means a stronger Mindanao.
18:26 A stronger Mindanao means a stronger Philippines, bringing us closer to achieving our agendas.
18:38 The former leaders of the Bangsamoro government say they do not agree with the rise of Mindanao in the Republic of the Philippines.
18:45 As Chief Minister Ahud Ebrahim said earlier.
18:49 The paramount objective for the Bangsamoro government remains the establishment of an autonomous region
18:58 that is functional, ready, and thriving in an ever-changing and competitive society.
19:07 It is imperative that we fast-track all pending work and beat the deadlines we have set
19:17 without compromising on the integrity of the hard-won peace agreement.
19:25 For GMA Integrated News, I'm Maris Umali.
19:28 Your Rafi Pimang, Saksi!
