00:05 State of the Nation!
00:07 [Music]
00:09 [Music]
00:17 A huge fire broke out in a residential area in Barangay 54, Pasay City at 6 p.m.
00:24 As the fire spread, the fire was raised to the second alarm. The firefighters even ran out of water.
00:31 The residents helped to refill the fire truck.
00:34 One person was injured after the fire hit the face of a building.
00:38 After 7 p.m., when the fire was under control,
00:41 the firefighters were watching the nearby Epifanio de Los Santos Elementary School not to be affected by the fire.
00:48 30 families were affected. The firemen in Covered Court of Barangay Muna will remain.
00:55 We continue to find out where the fire was.
00:58 [Music]
01:00 "There's a winner." That's what the DOTR said in connection with the private operation of Ninoy Aquino International Airport.
01:08 The winner bidder, who was supposed to fix the fire,
01:11 is not only a world-class person who fulfilled his promise, but also a good beneficiary who will be taken by the government.
01:17 Joseph Moro has this report.
01:19 Ninoy Aquino International Airport, or NIA, has landed several times on the list of the worst airports in the world.
01:28 How come there's a brownout, no seats, a long line for immigration, and traffic?
01:38 That's why some travelers wish to see a change in one of the busiest airports in the Philippines.
01:43 The flow of drop-offs here in the facility is better.
01:48 That's why there's a winner.
01:51 The winning bidder, the SMC-SAP group.
01:57 The SMC-SAP consortium won P170.6 billion pesos from the NIA Public-Private Partnership Project or the private operation of the airport.
02:06 The consortium includes San Miguel Holdings Corporation, which is a negotiator of Ramon Ang,
02:12 and Incheon International Airport Corporation, which runs Incheon International Airport in Korea.
02:18 San Miguel also runs Katiklan Airport in Boracay and the developing airport in Bulacan.
02:23 According to the DOTR, of the four bidders in the NIA project,
02:27 the SMC-SAP consortium has the biggest offer of 82.16 percent of the government's income.
02:36 The government is expected to give P36 billion pesos annually or P900 billion pesos within 25 years of its contract,
02:44 aside from P30 billion pesos of one-time payments for takeover of the airport and P2 billion pesos annually.
02:51 The proposal of the SMC-SAP consortium is not only for making the NIA world-class and have a big impact,
02:57 but the government will also not get any benefit.
03:00 According to the DOTR, it is expected that there will be more parking, shorter waiting times for check-in,
03:05 immigration and security, and seats in the pre-departure gate.
03:09 According to the Department of Transportation, the NIA can start its private operation within three to six months.
03:16 If the agency will approve it, no job will be lost to its employees now.
03:21 But some groups of NIA workers are aware of this, especially that they should be included in the mandatory consultation.
03:27 This is clearly hidden from us.
03:29 It's part of the deal. Everyone should have a job.
03:33 According to the Manila International Airport Authority or MIA,
03:37 the passenger terminal fee will not increase, but only the navigation fee and rentals.
03:42 Joseph Morong reporting for GMA Integrated News.
03:46 China's BIFAR is once again challenging the Philippines to help the fishermen in Bajo de Macinloc.
03:55 [Radio Chatter]
04:21 In the statement of the China Coast Guard, they said that they will fight the BIFAR vessel.
04:26 But the Philippine Coast Guard and National Security Council have already revealed that the BRP Datu Tamblot has been removed.
04:33 In the report of GMA Integrated News yesterday and earlier,
04:36 some ships of the China Coast Guard can be seen and there is still a floating barrier in the Bajo de Macinloc.
04:43 This month, the rotational development or deployment of BIFAR and PCG in Bajo de Macinloc will start
04:49 to ensure the safety of the Filipino fishermen there.
04:54 Some students of UP Diliman ran to the shore as a result of the Charter Change.
05:01 Some senators also requested the issued form of the Comelec for those who want to return their signatures to the People's Initiative.
05:09 Sandra Aguinaldo has the report.
05:14 In the dance of "Nakangbuto Bad", some men passed their charter change and People's Initiative.
05:22 That is the oblation run of Alpha Phi Omega Fraternity in UP Diliman.
05:26 We chose to do that so that the people can write that they should not sign the People's Initiative because it is not for us.
05:34 Comelec said that if you are one of the signatories of the People's Initiative but you want to return it, there is a way.
05:41 Just answer the signature withdrawal form that can be obtained from local Comelec offices.
05:46 We are just recording it. Why can you say that we are recording it and there is no action yet to be taken?
05:53 Because the Republic Act 6735 and its implementing rules, Resolution 10650, we are reviewing it.
06:00 But Senator I.M. Marcos asked why the reason for the return of the signature is still being asked in the form.
06:07 Even though it is in the form, we will not force you to give a reason.
06:11 According to Comelec, Resolution 10650 is still suspended or the rules that guide the implementation of the People's Initiative.
06:21 That is why it is not being discussed for now.
06:25 But even if any process that has a connection to the People's Initiative is suspended, the group of signatures is still continuing in the search for the evidence.
06:34 We have almost nine million signatures. We will reach more or less 20 million signatures so they can see that the people are the ones who are really supporting our firm and our People's Initiative.
06:55 They think that with the withdrawal form issued by Comelec...
06:58 We are not affected by that because as of the other day, we already gathered 19% of total signatures nationwide.
07:11 Albaim Representative Joey Salceda is hoping that the discussion on the Chacha will be focused on the merits.
07:19 While ACT Teachers Party List Representative Franz Castro will be the one to monitor the Chacha.
07:26 Sandra Aguinaldo is reporting for GMA Integrated News.
07:31 A police rider fell off a bike in Bontoc, Mountain Province.
07:38 The rider was taken home to his boarding house on the roadside.
07:44 He lost control and fell off the bike, which is 20 meters deep.
07:49 He was injured and alone but he called his wife to ask for help.
07:54 He was given first aid by the firefighters before being taken to the hospital.
07:59 He was injured and cut in various parts of his body and his bones were displaced.
08:05 He is recovering now.
08:07 On spotlight, the remake version of the K-pop group Enhypen in a BTS hit single and Park Hyung Sik's return to his country in the report of Lars Santiago.
08:23 Touchdown Philippines!
08:25 The South Korean actor Park Hyung Sik will have his secret time fan meet of a certified oppa in Quezon City.
08:37 It's his third time in the country and he said before that he's looking forward to being with his Filipino fans again and experiencing Filipino food and warm weather.
08:51 A BTS classic song was made by the new version of the K-pop group Enhypen.
09:01 The acoustic remake of "I Need U" from the original dance pop genre is now trending on the X app.
09:10 In 2015, BTS released the "I Need U" single.
09:17 The K-pop group has a comeback album that will be released tomorrow by Together in April.
09:24 There is no confirmation from Big Hit Music.
09:28 But it's sure that the group will have a fan live on March 2 and 3 in Seoul, South Korea for their 5th anniversary.
09:38 Lars Santiago is reporting for GMA Integrated News.
09:46 A huge fish was caught in the North Ilocos Gulf.
09:51 It weighed 10 tons according to a barangay official.
09:56 Out of the huge amount, 4 boats were full.
10:00 They were only able to catch that many this Amihan season.
10:04 This was on Wednesday when more than 2 tons of fish were caught in the same town.
10:10 Another oarfish was found dead after being seen swimming in the Albuera Lake.
10:16 The authority found that the oarfish was severely injured.
10:20 It was 12.5 feet long and weighed 13 kilos.
10:25 According to BIFAR, there was a possible environmental disturbance under the ocean.
10:30 That's why the fish was found in a shallow part of the ocean.
10:33 It's not an indication of a deluge like what some believe.
10:40 After a day of hard work, it's time to give attention to those who are sick or broken hearted.
10:46 That's why Heartbreak Leave was proposed by the House of Representatives for those who came from the breakup.
10:51 If House Bill 9931 or Heartbreak Recovery and Resilience Act is in effect,
10:57 broken hearted people can ask for unpaid leave.
11:00 According to the proposal of Second District Representative Lord Danzuan,
11:05 if below 25 years old, one day unpaid leave.
11:09 Two days for those aged 25 to 35 years old, three days for those 36 and above.
11:15 The older, the longer the leave.
11:18 Because the issues in family, money and other things are more complicated.
11:22 To avail Heartbreak Leave,
11:24 a letter must be made proving that it came from heartbreak or breakup within 30 days.
11:32 Representative Suan added that if Heartbreak Leave is to be given,
11:36 single employees should be allowed to take single well-being leave every February 15.
11:44 That is to be able to de-stress under the pressure of Valentine's Day celebration.
11:49 Filipinos are among the four largest exporters in Asia to watch concerts according to one study.
11:58 Others are abroad. Vonna Kino has a report.
12:02 Crying and crying in the concert scene.
12:08 And to be able to go to such events, a fulfilled dream.
12:13 I am so happy that I made my own hard work to attend her concert.
12:22 Swiftie Tinasiblesa sold Taylor Swift merch to attend The Era's tour in Japan.
12:28 Within six months, she saved up to Php 120,000.
12:33 I also thought that my money will come back.
12:36 But the memory I will build on that trip is priceless.
12:41 The price of the VIP ticket she bought was Php 22,000.
12:45 She also spent her OOTD on a concert worth Php 5,000.
12:50 But because she was abroad, she also paid for it and went on a Japan tour.
12:55 Tinasiblesa is one of the 37% of Filipinos who traveled abroad to watch a concert.
13:05 In the survey of Digital Payment Solutions,
13:08 the Philippines is the fourth in the top spender in concerts in the Asia-Pacific region.
13:13 38% of Filipinos surveyed watched concerts locally or overseas last year.
13:19 India was the first with 45%.
13:22 Vietnam, with 41%, and Indonesia, with 40%.
13:26 Another Swiftie, Tinliwanag, adjusted her vacation.
13:30 She was supposed to fly to Japan with her family on February 14.
13:34 But she went ahead for the concert on February 10.
13:37 It was fulfilling because there were a lot of people who would want to go to her concert to watch her.
13:45 And then here I am in Japan, my sister won a ticket.
13:50 It's really meant to be.
13:52 According to the study, this trend will continue this year,
13:55 especially with the announcement of concert schedules by artists.
13:59 Aside from concerts, it seems that Filipinos have also become routine
14:02 to wait for fan meets of some K-pop idols.
14:05 A sociologist looked at the likes of some Filipino fans
14:09 who attend concerts or meet and greets as a way
14:12 to show their support to their idols.
14:16 Their willingness to consume, their willingness to spend money,
14:21 shows that they will watch are important.
14:28 And for them, it's worth the price.

14:41 Staycation where there are rooms with wheels?
14:44 That's the camper vehicle that's popular abroad but there is one near Metro Manila.
14:50 Let's G that together with Katrina Son.
14:52 [music]
14:55 There's a bedroom, comfort room, living room.
14:58 But wait a minute, this is not a hotel room, but a camper vehicle with a twist.
15:05 That's the look of the camper at 57th Street in Binon and Rizal.
15:09 Camping is not just easy because it's not a tent but a camper bus or van
15:15 that's popular abroad.
15:18 Anna Cruz, when she saw the place, immediately booked it.
15:22 Actually, my first impression, I didn't expect there's a place like this.
15:26 It's so close to Manila and I thought there's an overlooking.
15:31 Something very new.
15:32 She chose this camper bus, complete with everything including shower.
15:38 There's also a camper RV that's good for three.
15:41 It's smaller than a camper bus but it's not yet defeated.
15:45 It's also complete with a bed, TV, bathroom and dining area.
15:50 There's a camper trailer that's good for two.
15:52 All of that is fully air-conditioned.
15:55 It was opened to the public in 2020.
15:58 It was a rest house before but they're not here yet.
16:02 One of their friends suggested that they should rent it because it's unique.
16:09 Aside from camper vehicles, there's also a container house.
16:13 When you enter here, you'll see their mini living room.
16:18 And here, there's a sink and a kitchen.
16:23 And here, you'll see their complete restroom.
16:30 There's a shower and a shower heater.
16:32 Here's their bedroom.
16:37 There's a TV and of course, when you sleep next to it, there's a beautiful view.
16:43 It's better if you go to their infinity and overlooking pool.
16:50 With its beautiful view and fresh air, this is what you're looking for in Tagaytay fields without toll fees.
