00:00A baby boy who was only one year old was killed in Taguig.
00:05His father himself is a suspect who was fighting with his mother.
00:09This is the news brought to you by Jomer Apresto.
00:14The 11-month-old baby boy in Taguig City was killed by his own father.
00:20The root cause of the crime is jealousy.
00:23According to the police, the two had an argument until they got sick
00:28so the mother of the baby boy left first.
00:31The man texted the woman that if she didn't come back, he would kill the baby.
00:36A few hours later, the woman heard that her baby boy was already dead.
00:42What happened was that she covered him with a blanket.
00:44After she covered him with a blanket, she made him sit until he died.
00:49After the crime, the man also committed suicide.
00:52According to the man's brother, his brother was jailed for illegal drugs
00:57and while he was in jail, the mother of the baby boy was with someone else
01:01and went to their house.
01:03His family wanted him to get better.
01:07They said that the woman had a boyfriend.
01:12The mother of the baby boy refused to face the camera
01:15but she refused to face him.
01:18The man threatened to kill his son several times
01:22but she didn't notice it because the man couldn't do it.
01:26As of now, the police are asking if the man used illegal drugs before the incident.
01:32According to the barangay, the man is on their drug watch list.

01:45Dear listeners, there is an expected rollback in the price of some oil products next week.
01:50According to the case of Director Rodela Romero of the Oil Industry Management Bureau of DOE,
01:55based on the four-day trading,
01:57it is possible that the price of diesel will drop by 20 to 40 cents per liter
02:02while the rollback is expected to be 30 to 35 cents per liter of kerosene.
02:08As for gasoline, it is possible that there will be no change in the price
02:12or if there is, the rollback is expected to be up to 20 cents.
02:16This is an effect of the decrease in demand in China
02:20and the plan of OPEC-plus countries to increase their supply in the world market.
02:31Dear listeners, the south-west monsoon is coming back.
02:35According to the forecast, the Palawan, Zamboanga Peninsula, Negros Island
02:41and other parts of Western Visayas are affected by the monsoon rains.
02:44Local thunderstorms are still expected in most parts of the country.
02:48In the next few hours, the chance of rain will be high again in almost the entire country.
02:53Heavy to intense rains are possible that can cause floods or landslides.
02:58That is also what we will experience this weekend based on the rainfall forecast of Metro Weather.
03:04The possibility of rain is higher in the afternoon and evening.
03:10It will also rain again here in Metro Manila this weekend.
03:14Due to the high chance of rain, the water level in many dams in Luzon also increased
03:20such as Angat, Ipo, Binga, San Roque, Pantabangan and Magat Reservoirs.
03:29The Department of Public Works and Highways admitted to the Senate
03:33that the increase of more than 5,000 flood control projects by the government
03:37is a separate and small project and is not part of the master plan.
03:43It should be noted that these projects are part of the plans of President Bongbong Marcos
03:50in his third State of the Nation Address.
03:52The DPWH also confirmed that there is no fund for large flood control projects this 2024.
04:00The agency has not received a fund for two years for additional equipment for dredging
04:06or for the removal of the accumulated mud from the rivers for deepening.
04:11The DPWH also confirmed that the 20-year flood control master plan in Metro Manila
04:18was made in 2013.
04:20The effect of reclamation in Manila Bay was also discussed in the Senate.
04:28According to the Department of Environment and Natural Resources,
04:31the reclamation project has an effect on the flow of water, pollutants and organic materials inside.
04:38Some Senators agreed to include the reclamation project in the master plan.
04:45Is there a solution for the widespread flooding in Metro Manila?
04:49The DPWH is looking at the possibility of imitating the system of a business district.
04:55Breaking News with Jonathan Andan.
04:58While many parts of Metro Manila are being flooded due to the heavy rainstorm,
05:06BGC or Bonifacio Global City in Taguig remained flood-free.
05:14One of the reasons is under these trees.
05:18I am now here in Biburgo Circle in BGC and under this parking lot,
05:22there is a water detention tank that we can see in this hole.
05:28When it rains in BGC, this is where the water is imbucked so it does not flood here.
05:32And when the rain stops, it will be pumped out to a creek that leads to Pasig River.
05:40It is deep because it is above four floors and can imbuck more than 20 million liters of water
05:48or equivalent to the contents of eight Olympic-sized swimming pools.
05:52The DPWH said that they plan to imitate this system in other parts of Metro Manila
05:57like under the UST that is located in Bahaing España Boulevard in Manila, but it did not flood.
06:03However, the UST administration did not agree, so we are looking for areas.
06:12The 1975 Flood Control Master Plan also plans to imitate this system
06:16that will add more water detentions aside from Pasig River.
06:20It will divide the Mangahan Floodway that was built in 1986
06:23to bring more water from Metro Manila to Laguna de Bay.
06:27It would also divide the Paranaque Spillway where the other water will flow to Manila Bay.
06:32But it was not done.
06:34That is why it was not continued because there was no budget.
06:37Political will, lack of continuity, analysis paralysis.
06:41No budget.
06:43Budget, you can borrow money.
06:45Dubai has borrowed money, but they have a good plan.
06:48But the Mayor of Muntinlupa said at the hearing of the Chamber
06:51that if the Paranaque Spillway is continued, half of Barangay Bulig in their city will be cleared.
06:57The last say of the people of Muntinlupa is an objection to it.
07:00We are with them in finding a solution to the problem of flooding.
07:05But of course, we are also on the lookout for our constituents.
07:09If there are other options, why not?
07:11I am aware that this project has been already approved by the NEDA Board.
07:16So anyway, because of this information, we can always have a second look at it.
