00:31According to FIVOX, it is possible that the volcano's magma still remains at alert level 1.
00:39FIVOX will continue to monitor the situation.
00:43Under the new law, foreign companies that deliver digital services to the Philippines
00:49such as streaming apps and online shopping platforms will be compensated.
00:54What are the consequences?
00:56Will subscribers and online shoppers pay more?
01:00Ivan Mayrina reports.
01:05Mang Ramon has been watching a streaming platform for a long time.
01:09Only P150 per month.
01:11He has watched a lot of movies that are streamed.
01:14But it is possible that he is paying a subscription fee according to the BIR.
01:19President Marcos added the value-added tax of VAT on digital services law
01:24that was signed by Senators Pia Cayetano and Senator Wayne Gatchalian and Congressman Joey Salceda.
01:29Under the law, 12 percent VAT will be exempted for digital services providers outside the country
01:35such as search engines, cloud service, online streaming, and other online platforms and digital goods.
01:43Even online marketplace or shopping platforms will be included.
01:47Will users pay more VAT?
01:50As to whether the price will increase, it doesn't necessarily follow.
01:55Of course, it would also depend on the...
01:59It's a business decision by the service provider.
02:02I think it would be minimal.
02:04It's not like they will automatically increase 12 percent.
02:06I don't think so.
02:08If it's difficult, that's the only thing they can do.
02:13If they will increase the price, I can unsubscribe.
02:18It's possible if the price they will increase can replace the additional service.
02:30According to President Marcos and the Department of Finance,
02:33because of this law, the government expects to raise P100 billion in the next five years.
02:39This is enough to build 42,000 classrooms.
02:42More than 6,000 rural health units.
02:457,000 kilometers of farm-to-market roads.
02:48Five percent of the business that will be run in the next five years
02:52is based on the law that goes to the creative industries.
02:55President Marcos and the Department of Finance clarified that this is not a new business.
02:59This business has been in place for a long time in local digital or online services.
03:03The law was just laid down as a mechanism
03:06for companies in other countries to close their online business.
03:10Companies that do not comply with the law can be blocked by the BIR.

03:18An OFW in Lebanon witnessed the explosion near his home.
03:23It was followed by a continuous strike by Israel and the Hezbollah group.
03:27The Philippine government is now arranging an airplane
03:30to take the Filipinos who are stuck in trouble home.
03:34J.P. Soriano has a report.
03:36Go, go, go.
03:39It's like bubbles.
03:40That's the light in the sky of Israel.
03:46But it's a missile in the face of Iran
03:48that is inside the Iron Dome Defense System of Israel.
03:52Iran will retaliate against Israel's attack
03:55against the allies of the Hezbollah group in Lebanon.
04:01The residents, including the Filipinos in Israel,
04:05once again hid in bomb shelters.
04:07The Department of Migrant Workers, or DMW,
04:10confirmed that no Filipinos were injured in the airstrikes.
04:15In the midst of the so-called ceasefire of the United Nations,
04:19the United States, and the European Union,
04:21the Israel-Hezbollah group and the Hezbollah group
04:24continued to fight each other.
04:26The southern Lebanon village was heavily bombed
04:30following the explosions.
04:33Oh, my God.
04:37The OFW, Glenda, and her companions
04:40witnessed the explosions.
04:42They were safe in their place.
04:44But look at the thick smoke from the explosion.
04:49The building was really shaking.
04:52I was going down the building.
04:54I was scared.
04:56Glenda has been in Lebanon for a long time.
04:58She has experienced war before.
05:00But now, it's worse.
05:02While I was interviewing her...
05:04I was just crying, sir.
05:06Because, of course, you wouldn't expect
05:08the situation here to be like this.
05:11Lebanon is so beautiful, but suddenly, it's like this.
05:14Even though she wants to leave Lebanon,
05:16Glenda is still thinking.
05:18Because her children love her so much.
05:22I also love them, sir.
05:24They are my second family.
05:26I can't leave them, sir.
05:28She is one of 11,000 Filipinos in Lebanon.
05:32According to the DMW,
05:34there are more than 100 Filipinos
05:36on the list for repatriation.
05:38The problem is, the flights in Lebanon
05:40have been canceled several times
05:42because of the consecutive airstrikes.
05:44That's why the government of the Philippines
05:46is arranging a special chartered flight.
05:49Another alternative is also ready.
05:52Our land route is ready to go to Damascus.
05:56The yacht, yes.
05:58We are also talking about maritime vessels.
