00:25DPWH will start the southbound of EDSA and its target is to finish the rehabilitation by the end of November.
00:33AFP Spokesperson Colonel Francel Margareth Padilla was surprised by the spread of rumors that there are soldiers who watched the video after the arrest of former President Rodrigo Duterte.
00:44Padilla clarified that there is no truth in these news and the public was warned to watch the information that can be seen online.
00:52He also added that soldiers cannot resign online because there is a right process that each member of the Armed Forces must follow.
01:00Padilla also called on the public not to spread fake news and to check the information correctly.
01:07Meanwhile, some groups continue to provide help to our countrymen who are fire volunteers in Manila.
01:13In Manila, a fire volunteer was killed while responding to a fire.
01:18The victim was identified as Rodolfo Banikid.
01:21The firefighter of the Philippine's Partylist First Nominee Jose Goita himself provided financial assistance to the family of the victim.
01:28The family is very thankful because the government does not forget their sector.
01:33Because of the incident, the group is now more determined to fight for the rights of the firefighters in the country,
01:38especially in providing high hazard pay, medical assistance, and insurance coverage.
