00:00Even to President Bongbong Marcos, there is no reason given.
00:04Vice President Sara Duterte, in her inauguration in the Cabinet as Education Secretary and Vice Chair of the NPFL CAC,
00:12does not agree with the President.
00:15Sir, if there were any particular reasons why she has chosen to resign from the Department of Education and from the NPFL CAC,
00:29let's not talk about it.
00:31So, I did not force the issue.
00:35The President said that she is waiting for the appointment of a new Education Secretary before this week ends.
00:41When it comes to the resignation of former Senator Laila Delima in the field of drug trade,
00:47the President said that she can point it out to the International Criminal Court
00:51to prove that the justice system in the country is working.
00:55It is a personal matter for Delima that she wants to help the ICC through the President.
01:00The position of the government will not change.
01:05The ICC has no jurisdiction in the Philippines because we have a working police force,
01:10we have a working judiciary and do not require any assistance in that regard.
01:17Before the inauguration, several firefighters were hit by a fire while the fire was extinguished in Mandaluyong.
01:24The Severe Fire Protection issued a statement yesterday
01:27when a fire broke out in Barangay Itaas.
01:3010 houses were burned and 14 families were affected.
01:34The fire is still being investigated and extinguished after an hour.
01:40Although it is rare, there are cases in the Philippines of Streptococcal Toxic Shock Syndrome
01:45that there are almost 1,000 cases in Japan this year.
01:48This disease is deadly and it usually affects people with diabetes and other comorbidities.
01:54Witness, Rafi Tima.
01:59It is now up to some health experts and authorities in Japan
02:02to investigate the outbreak of Streptococcal Toxic Shock Syndrome.
02:07From January to June, almost 1,000 cases were reported in Japan
02:11that resulted in the death of 77 people.
02:14In Tokyo alone, the number of reported cases tripled compared to the previous year.
02:19Although the cause of the increase in the number of STSS cases is still unknown,
02:23it may have something to do with the relaxation of restrictions after the COVID-19 pandemic.
02:28But according to infectious disease expert Dr. Rod Ginsulante,
02:31there is this form of a group A Streptococcus pyogenesis infection
02:35that involves the skin and soft tissue.
02:38It means that it starts in the skin and then it can cause a severe form of skin infection.
02:45Although the cause of the increase in the number of STSS cases is still unknown,
02:49it may have something to do with the relaxation of restrictions after the COVID-19 pandemic.
02:52But according to infectious disease expert Dr. Rod Ginsulante,
02:55there is this form of a group A Streptococcus pyogenesis infection
03:00Although it is rare, it is found in the Philippines
03:03that it is common among people with diabetes and other comorbidities.
03:07It is said that the percentage of people who die from it is high because it spreads quickly
03:10and often, the first symptoms of it are not immediately noticed.
03:30It is said that the disease starts with a wound.
03:33If left untreated, it causes an infection that enters the bloodstream
03:37and becomes the cause of STSS, especially in low immune systems.
03:59The DOH does not see STSS as a public health concern today.
04:03It should pay more attention to wild or waterborne diseases,
04:07influenza, lethospirosis, and dengue illnesses that have a greater impact on life.
04:12For GMA Integrated News, I'm Rafi Timang.
04:15Saksi!
04:17Some people love online games.
04:19They became a pathway to success.
04:21That's the story of one of the most successful people in the world.
04:25That's the story of one of the most successful people in the world.
04:28Saksi!
04:29It's Dano Tinkungko.
04:34It's a game over for those who love to play online games.
04:39Now, it's GG or Good Game.
04:42Because gaming is not just about passing the time,
04:46but it can also be a way of life.
04:50Because gaming is not just about passing the time,
04:53but it can also be a way of life.
04:56That's according to the creator of popular games like League of Legends,
05:00Sims, and Sim City, which is here in the Philippines.
05:03Aside from playing, you can also make your own game
05:06because there are more tools for it.
05:09All you need is imagination.
05:12Encourage the creativity in young people.
05:15I think in today's age, there's so many opportunities
05:18that I think early game developers didn't have.
05:21It's true that there are full college courses in the Philippines
05:24that are related to gaming,
05:25such as Esports Management and Game Design.
05:28If you're young and you have a lot of pressure to do this,
05:32I would really, for the parents, I would say to the parents,
05:40the game industry is now a massive industry.
05:42It's 3 billion people playing.
05:44It's super global.
05:45It's larger than film and music and books combined,
05:52in terms of sales.
05:53It's a $250 billion industry.
05:56For Filipinos who want to embark on that career,
05:58or part of it,
06:00Wu wants to introduce the new platform for game creation
06:04that he developed with other veteran game creators
06:06behind Street Fighter, Resident Evil, and Monster Strike.
06:10The platform just allows you to have more ownership
06:13over your assets.
06:14Because it's on chain, it lives forever.
06:18Even if developers stop servicing the game,
06:22as long as the community is there, the service goes on.
06:26And their message to parents who are still worried
06:29about their child's cellphone or computer
06:32to make gaming a career.
06:34My parents wanted me to be a doctor,
06:36and I went into video games.
06:39And I think they're very happy now that I went into video games.
06:42Because they can see how happy I am.
06:44For GMA Integrated News, I'm Dan, and I'll be your witness.
06:49It didn't take long for the low-pressure area near Mindanao
06:53to completely dissipate.
06:56For now, there's no new bad weather
06:58inside the Philippine Area of Responsibility.
07:00The Intertropical Convergence Zone has disappeared,
07:03but the Easter Leaves are still around.
07:05According to Metro Weather,
07:07the weather will be clear for almost the entire country in the morning.
07:10But in the afternoon and evening,
07:12most of Luzon and Mindanao,
07:14as well as some provinces in Visayas, may experience heavy rain.
07:17There's a chance of heavy rain
07:19that could flood or cause landslides.
07:23The chance of rain in Metro Manila remains.
07:26We're here in Metro Manila.
07:35The Basaan Festival was held in San Juan City this Monday.
07:39Some were arrested for smuggling muriatic acid.
07:43Is there anything that should be changed in the tradition of Basaan?
07:47We asked the Barangay Saksi Online.
07:51Basaan! Basaan! Basaan!
07:54What's the good news for those who were arrested in Basaan in San Juan City?
07:58It's the rain of batikos and complaints,
08:01followed by the strength of the Basaan people.
08:04The Basaan in Wata Wata Festival
08:06is part of the celebration of the feast of St. John the Baptist,
08:10patron saint of Luzon every June 24.
08:13He stopped the pandemic a few years ago,
08:15returned in 2022,
08:17and was canceled again in 2023.
08:19As a consideration to those who were watched by El Niño.
08:23In this year's comeback,
08:25private and public vehicles were not allowed.
08:29Motorcycles were wet.
08:31A rider used a water gun.
08:35Another rider even threw up.
08:38Those who were partying opened the trunk of this jeep
08:41and there were people who spat on the vehicle.
08:44I was shocked.
08:47Because it's a foul to open the trunk.
08:49But I just experienced the rain.
08:52We asked our Kapuso online,
08:54is there anything we can do to change the situation in Basaan in San Juan?
08:58One answer,
09:00how to suspend this activity
09:02because of the bad impact
09:04on the passengers and vehicles.
09:07Another said,
09:08to prevent those who use the occasion
09:10to persuade others.
09:12The problem is not in tradition,
09:15but in the will of the people.
09:16Another said.
09:17According to another commenter,
09:19it's okay to follow the guidelines issued by City Hall.
09:22Under City Ordinance No. 51 Series of 2018,
09:26as part of the prohibitions in the Wata Wata Festival,
09:30unruly behavior such as forceful opening of the vehicle
09:34has a fine from Php 2,500 to Php 5,000.
09:39Another said,
09:41I hope there's a place for Basaan,
09:44not in the whole of San Juan.
09:46A rider,
09:48why didn't he turn around after getting wet?
09:50Water, water.
09:52Bariatric.
09:53Bariatric.
09:54Bariatric acid,
09:55he said.
09:56Bariatric,
09:57that's prohibited.
09:58You should avoid it.
09:59The one who was hit by the acid
10:01is just a spectator.
10:03I poured my face into the trunk
10:08to avoid the acid.
10:12My eyes hurt.
10:14My vision is different, sir.
10:18It's like I can't see.
10:20The one who was hit by the acid was arrested
10:22and filed a complaint of physical injuries.
10:25The PNP investigated
10:27that there are suspects involved in the Wata Wata Festival.
10:31This is the reason
10:33why he has two Bariatric Acids
10:36to pass through the city of San Juan.
10:38In the past years of the festival,
10:42he gets wet.
10:44He gets hurt.
10:45So,
10:47he's not,
10:49he's prepared.
10:52He's prepared,
10:54if ever.
10:55Just a little.
10:56Just a little.
10:57The people are looking for
10:59a troublemaker.
11:01They use videos on social media.
11:03I am the entire local government
11:06asking for forgiveness
11:08to all the people
11:10who were affected or became victims.
11:13Even the LGU
11:14asked those who were affected
11:15to file a complaint.
11:17They said they will pay for the damages.
11:19I'm not categorically saying there is sabotage,
11:22but I'm also not ruling it out.
11:24They are also studying
11:26how to improve
11:27the construction of the festival
11:29in the coming years
11:30for GMA Integrated News.
