00:00 [Music]

00:07 Live from the GMA Network Center, this is 24 Horas.

00:12 [Music]

00:15 Good evening, Luzon Visayas and Mindanao.

00:18 [Music]

00:19 It's still February but have you gotten warm?

00:22 Oh, when March comes, it's even hotter.

00:27 The heat is caused by the loss of aluminum.

00:30 It's said that the heat is more severe than last year.

00:35 The heat can reach up to 40 degrees Celsius.

00:39 And now, heat stroke is a delicate issue for cattle.

00:43 This is what Maki Pulido is talking about.

00:46 [Music]

00:50 In the heat, these cattle are weakening and are wandering around Mangaldan in Pangasinan.

00:56 This is an indication of heat stroke.

00:58 The cattle should be well-monitored.

01:00 Second, they should be provided with drinking water.

01:03 Heat stroke is also a problem for some cattle in Zamboanga City

01:07 who are left tied under the scorching sun.

01:10 That's why farmers are saying that they should keep the cattle in the dark.

01:14 We advise the special farm animals

01:18 to avoid being exposed to the sun from 10 o'clock in the morning to 3 or 2 o'clock in the afternoon.

01:25 According to DA Undersecretary Deo Gracias Victor Savellano,

01:29 they are now reminding farmers to keep their cattle away from food.

01:34 The agency is also reminding them that aside from the loss of grass in the fields,

01:38 the cultivation of corn can also be affected by drought.

01:42 The hope is that, according to their forecast,

01:45 it will be hotter until aluminum is fully impacted from March to May.

01:51 Here in Metro Manila, for example, in March, the temperature can reach 34.6 to 36.5 degrees Celsius.

01:59 That means the heat index can reach more than 40 degrees Celsius.

02:06 It's even hotter than the summer last year.

02:10 We say that globally, 2023 is the warmest year.

02:14 So here, we can see that this could be one of the warmest years.

02:18 This is a bit risky because the normal body temperature is only 37 degrees.

02:24 So it's hot outside so we get sick.

02:29 The key is hydration.

02:30 We should have 8 to 12 glasses.

02:34 Let's add more every day.

02:36 JR's diet is drinking water,

02:38 especially that he carries bags of cement even on a sunny day.

02:42 It's okay to be dark if the sun is not shining.

02:45 But the daily salary will be affected.

02:47 For us, it's okay.

02:49 But in our work, we really need to earn.

02:54 MWSS cannot see the water service interruption

02:58 because there are alternative water supplies,

03:00 even if the level of the Angat Dam is low.

03:03 But what about the electricity?

03:04 The consumption will increase with the heat of the weather.

03:07 In the simulation of the Department of Energy,

03:09 the peak demand for luzon was increased to 14,000 megawatts in May.

03:14 In that scenario, there is still 16,000 megawatts of supply.

03:17 That's why the increase in demand will be tolerated.

03:19 Just don't go wrong with the transmission lines of NGCP and distribution utilities.

03:24 We don't expect to see a brownout.

03:28 Outages are not only from the supply.

03:33 There are also outages that result from local conditions,

03:39 so problems with transmission and distribution facilities.

03:42 For GMA Integrated News, Mackie Polido, in Catuto, 24 hours.

03:47 Here's an update on the death that was thrown in the air in Binangonan, Rizal.

03:52 The suspect himself is now in the crime scene.

03:56 He committed suicide because of extreme jealousy.

04:02 John Consulta was arrested.

04:04 I did this with my wife.

04:08 You will pay for this.

04:10 You will not escape this.

04:13 Just this Tuesday, Rizal was arrested for killing his 31-year-old live-in partner,

04:20 Jani Claire Cahilig, after praying.

04:22 She was left alone in a crowded area in Binangonan, Rizal.

04:26 But it seems that the air has changed.

04:29 Earlier, GMA Integrated News exclusively obtained the information of the assault,

04:34 especially in the prosecutor's office of Antipolo Police,

04:36 in an extrajudicial confession and a curse on the lawyer's neck.

04:42 They confessed that he killed his live-in partner.

04:47 The motive?

04:49 Because of extreme jealousy.

04:51 Who made you jealous?

04:53 One of his employees.

04:57 I didn't want this to happen. I was just surprised.

05:00 Rizal Police investigated that the victim was killed in their house in Antipolo.

05:06 They had an altercation, verbal, and then they went home physically.

05:11 He was hit by a bottle.

05:15 The victim was like this.

05:18 From there, when he fell, the victim was gradually stabbed.

05:26 He was put in their room.

05:28 That's why the body of the victim was not seen.

05:31 According to the suspect, he hit the live-in partner on the head.

05:35 On the side of the body.

05:37 Then I stabbed him.

05:39 What did you hit?

05:40 The bottle of soft drinks.

05:42 Where did you get the bottle of soft drinks?

05:44 Near the table.

05:46 He also admitted that he threw the bottle in the place where he found it.

05:51 To my wife's family, I hope you will forgive me.

05:55 I'm sorry for everything.

05:57 According to the victim's family, they were already suspicious of his live-in partner.

06:03 We saw the victim last. It's impossible for him to go missing because his wallet and cellphone are with us.

06:10 He's really innocent.

06:12 He paid for the crime he committed against us.

06:17 We have an airtight case for murder that we referred to the fiscal year.

06:22 For JMA Integrated News, John Consulta, Nakatutok, 24 Hours.

06:29 The Bureau of Immigration is concerned against the pecking e-travel websites that are being purchased.

06:36 It's a scam because no one is paying for the government's e-travel website

06:41 that is required by the passengers to enter the country.

06:44 And this is Nakatutok's Sally Marifran.

06:46 From the Immigration Arrival Card, Customs Declaration, to the Bureau of Quarantine Health Declaration,

06:55 everyone can access the Philippine Travel Information System or e-travel website

07:00 that was created to be the only system that uses to transmit information to all the entrances of the Philippines.

07:08 But even that is now being used for fraud.

07:12 According to the Bureau of Immigration, there are pecking e-travel websites

07:17 that are being victimized and that are being used by the passengers entering the Philippines.

07:23 The system is that these e-travel websites are being used by the government

07:29 and are being sold for P3,000 to P5,000.

07:34 The prices are different.

07:36 These e-travel websites are being sold for as much as P100.

07:41 The information is being obtained by the individuals who are writing here.

07:47 But the BI said that there is no need to pay for the government's e-travel website.

07:53 E-travel is free.

07:55 It is free on the government website.

07:58 If they see that these websites are being used for fraud, we will have doubts.

08:03 This is one of the pecking e-travel websites that the Bureau of Immigration is using.

08:08 You will be asked for sensitive information here,

08:11 such as your full name, birthday, and passport number.

08:15 On this website, you will be charged P52 or almost P3,000 for an e-travel pass that has no payment.

08:26 Eight websites have been targeted and investigated by the Cybercrime Investigation and Coordinating Center or CICC.

08:33 It is also being investigated if these websites are being used by Filipinos or Banyagas.

08:38 They are based in... IP record... outside the country.

08:46 One is in Spain.

08:49 We're doing efforts to block them so that the inbound Filipinos cannot access them.

08:58 Our objective now is to make a formal complaint to the platform where they are hosted.

09:07 The CICC's advice is to be cautious. Make sure that the portal is correct and official.

09:14 They should go to the official website.

09:17 Don't type it in Google search and the first thing that comes up is that.

09:22 There should always be .gov.ph.

09:24 For more information on pecking e-travel websites and other cybercrimes, you can contact the CICC.

09:33 For GMA Integrated News, I'm Nima Arafra.

09:37 Tune in for 24 Hours.

09:39 E-trike in S-Lex and e-trike driven by a child.

09:44 These are just a few examples of the problems of lack of control in the use of e-vehicles, especially on the highway.

09:52 That's why guidelines are being violated to regulate them.

09:56 Oscar Oida is tuned in.

10:00 In these videos that have been posted on the social media of the MMDA,

10:04 they see the change that is now a headache for e-tricycles.

10:09 Like this one that is traveling in the middle of the South Luzon Expressway.

10:15 This e-trike is a child that is driving.

10:20 These are just a few of the many reasons according to the MMDA to be outlawed in the use of e-tricycles on the main roads.

10:31 Based on the data from the MMDA, 556 were the number of accidents that were involved by electric bicycles last year.

10:41 What's more, there are e-tricycles that are used for passage.

10:47 That's why LTFRB said,

10:49 We will consult with the MMDA and LTO and possibly we will help in catching e-trikes and these kinds of vehicles that are used by the public,

11:07 even though they are franchises.

11:09 If proven, they have been banned from the main roads for a long time.

11:14 The problem is,

11:15 How will we catch them?

11:17 We cannot issue a ticket because there is no license for the driver.

11:22 We cannot charge the vehicle because it is not registered.

11:26 That's why a technical working group that is formed by representatives of various traffic agencies and LGU traffic heads

11:33 is established to follow the guidelines that will be a guide to regulate e-tricycles on the road.

11:41 We will study the registration of the vehicle, licensing of the person.

11:46 If they are not on national roads, even public roads, as long as they go out in the community,

11:54 they will be affected by the traffic and road safety.

11:58 The 42-year-old housewife, Joanne Pascual, admitted that her e-tricycle helped her a lot,

12:06 especially in her daily activities.

12:09 That's why she is worried that the planned regulations will only bring her home in the face of high expenses.

12:16 That's why we got an e-bike so that we won't have to spend money,

12:20 we won't have to worry about getting a license.

12:27 The sentiment of food delivery rider, Junel Pagasian, who uses an e-motorcycle, does not go far from this.

12:37 But in one place, this is also good for everyone's safety.

12:42 If that's what our government will say, we won't follow it.

12:48 The Electric Vehicles Association of the Philippines or EVAP,

12:53 says there is no problem in the planned regulation of e-tricycles and e-motorcycles.

13:00 What is needed here is control. Anyone can use an e-tricycle and e-bike,

13:10 even children and adults.

13:12 If there is an accident, the responsibility is heavy.

13:19 According to the estimated technical working group,

13:21 it is possible that they will make the guidelines before the end of the month.

13:25 Next, they will present it to the Metro Manila Council.

13:30 For GMA Integrated News, Oscar Oida reporting for 24 Hours.

13:35 The COMELEC issued a form for the withdrawal or return of signatures

13:41 to the signature sheet of petition for the People's Initiative.

13:46 In the form, the voter will ask for the personal details,

13:50 such as name, address, and precinct number where it is registered.

13:55 The reason or reasons for returning the signature should also be included in the form.

14:01 Signature withdrawal forms will be obtained from the offices of the election officers

14:06 across the country and will be kept in the same office.

14:10 COMELEC clarified that they received the withdrawal forms only for the record.

14:16 This is not a formal action of the Commission regarding the petition for the People's Initiative.

14:22 The second reading of the Senate is now complete,

14:27 the estimate of a minimum wage hike of P100 in the private sector across the country.

14:33 But an association of employers became nervous

14:36 about the possible effect of the additional wage on the buyers.

14:41 And they talked to Marie Zumali and Tina Pangliban-Perez.

14:44 [music]

14:46 As a valentine's day, the Senate is still chasing the second reading of the

14:54 estimate of a minimum wage hike of P100 in the private sector across the country.

15:00 For now, it is only P610 in Metro Manila.

15:04 It is smaller than in the agriculture sector or a small business with few employees.

15:10 It is smaller than some regions. Some say in Visayas and Mindanao,

15:15 it is only P300 according to the Senate president.

15:19 This is a gift for our workers on Valentine's Day.

15:24 It's time to help our workers in times when the price of goods and basic utilities are very high.

15:34 She appealed to the camera to pass their petition.

15:39 The intention is good.

15:41 One of the camera's leaders was short of P100.

15:45 If it can be implemented, and P100 is too small, it cannot be done.

15:51 It should be big. There was a discussion that it should be around P350 or P400.

15:57 But the camera has been holding the additional wage petition for a long time

16:01 because the interests of the businessmen should be balanced.

16:06 If we increase the wage, our businessmen should be able to do it.

16:12 In the Philippines, 98 to 99 percent of the business sector are MSMEs, small businessmen.

16:20 The party of the workers also said that P100 is not enough to increase the minimum wage.

16:26 But they say it can help in any way.

16:29 If we increase P100, we can recover the purchasing power of P610 from inflation or the increase in the price of goods.

16:37 It can help in the take-home pay.

16:39 You can reduce the cost of taking home pay of ordinary workers and the cost of living.

16:46 But the Employers Confederation of the Philippines, ECOP, is against it.

16:50 It's okay. P30 to P60 can be increased.

16:55 But P100 is a catastrophe. You can only do two things.

16:59 You can increase the price if the market can afford it.

17:03 If not, you can reduce the number of people.

17:05 That's what we want to happen.

17:07 If the additional expenses will be passed to the consumer, it will be a domino effect on other purchases.

17:12 Everyone will be affected, even those who don't have additional wages.

17:15 If the cost of living goes down, we will increase it.

17:18 How can we not give it to 84 percent of the workers?

17:22 They don't have any savings. They don't have the savings to give.

17:26 It's a gift.

17:27 According to ECOP, of the 52 million in the labor force, only 5 million will benefit from the increase in wages.

17:35 It means that only 10 percent will benefit while the 60 percent in the informal sector will not get any increase in wages.

17:44 It's unbalanced because there are times when there's no preparation or there's a sudden increase.

17:51 It has an effect on our employment level, inflation rate, and also on the targeted GDP growth.

17:59 According to Dole, the passing of the law and their implementation is still under the jurisdiction of the legislature.

18:05 For GMA Integrated News, I'm Maris Umali.

18:08 Tina Panganiban Perez, Nakatutok, 24 Hours.

18:13 The fire prevention month is still in March, but the fires in Metro Manila and several provinces are on fire.

18:20 Many have lost their homes and even their pets have died.

18:25 This is what Mark Salazar reports.

18:28 The fire is a rare incident, but it leaves a long-lasting scar.

18:37 Just like what happened to these houses above the estuary of Barangay 330, Santa Cruz, Manila.

18:44 Even the children helped in extinguishing the fire.

18:48 The BFP is investigating the residents who say that the fire started in the demolition project next to the school.

18:56 GMA Integrated News is also monitoring the school's management for their safety.

19:02 The one who settled here in the school, the most dangerous one was the one who fell in the house.

19:08 The one who jumped?

19:10 Yes.

19:11 Where did he jump?

19:13 In the house over there.

19:14 In the back of the school?

19:18 Yes, he jumped fast.

19:19 80 families lost their homes because of the fire.

19:23 No one was hurt, but some pets were burned.

19:27 The oldest one was already old.

19:30 He was 5 years old.

19:37 Even if everything was burned, we were able to save the dogs.

19:41 Because they are poor, they have a life.

19:44 According to the Manila Department of Social Welfare, the firemen are not allowed to return to the estuary.

19:51 There is a ready-made relocation site for the firemen and the LGU has also given help.

19:57 The residents of Barangay Batasan Hills, Quezon City, were also engulfed by the blazing fire last night at 8 o'clock.

20:06 The house of Presidential Communications Office Secretary, Cheloy Garafil was also engulfed.

20:12 According to the Bureau of Fire Protection, a senior citizen was hit by third-degree burns on his hand, but was immediately rushed to the hospital.

20:20 It happened so fast.

20:22 This house was brought from the third floor to the house that was burned.

20:26 That's why everything was destroyed.

20:29 The price of the house was estimated to be 7 million pesos.

20:34 The heavy traffic and the Valentine's Day were also challenged in responding to the fire trucks.

20:40 We were able to respond immediately, but due to the heavy traffic, we were not able to reach the house.

20:46 Please respond.

20:48 The fire is too big.

20:50 It's too big.

20:53 The fire also spread to other provinces, like what happened in an apartment near White Beach in Puerto Galera, Oriental Mindoro.

21:01 The other building is obviously being affected.

21:04 No one was hurt and the investigation into the fire continues.

21:09 More than 30 structures were engulfed by the fire in Cebu City.

21:16 A study was also affected by the fire.

21:19 The amount of damage was estimated to be more than 6 million pesos.

21:23 The cause of the fire is still unknown.

21:25 For GMA Integrated News, Mark Salazar, Naka-Tutok, 24 Hours.
