02:00Good afternoon, everyone, and welcome to Beyond the Headlines.
02:06Today, we take a closer look at the stories shaping our communities and our future, going past the surface into the context, the impact, and the conversations that matter.
02:17I'm DJ Moises.
02:19By the way, we'll also take this time to congratulate Miss Philippines for winning third runner-up in the Miss Universe competition held in Thailand earlier today.
02:30And I think for all our viewers, this is the perfect time to get a haircut.
02:35And hopefully, that also includes me.
02:37On serious note, today on Beyond the Headlines, we get the latest details on President Ferdinand Marcos Jr.'s visit to Cebu.
02:48Joining us is reporter, Earl Padronia, who will walk us through the President's schedule, key engagements, and the highlights of his activities.
02:59We will also tackle pressing local issues, starting with the ongoing transport shortage.
03:06LTFRB Regional Director, Eduardo Montealto Jr. will share the challenges the sector is facing and the measures being taken to address commuters' concern.
03:17And for our water services update, MCWD spokesperson, Minerva Jero Diaz, will provide the latest on water restoration efforts following Typhoon Tino, including areas already serviced and ongoing recovery initiatives.
03:35So, good afternoon, Earl. Are you there?
03:39Yes, DJ, live na tiri sa may barangay Subantapu, ilapin na tiri sa may boundary sa Cebu City o sa Mandawi City,
03:49tuol sa may Mahiga Creek o Subantapu River.
03:52So, atong di-cover tiri, karun DJ, ang umabot niya pagbisita niya ni President Ferdinand Marcos Jr.,
04:00di niyang panguluhan ang pagsugod na sa oplan kontrabaha sa Metro Cebu, DJ NOS.
04:09So, ikaning o plan kontrabaha na ipahigayon niya ni President Marcos,
04:14kay tumung o tinguha na pag-asugdan ng mga tiring operation,
04:20ilapin na sa mga blockages sa mga nakapara sa nagkadiang mga drainage system,
04:26nga gigamit dili sa Metro Cebu.
04:31So, ilang pagkabuhatong kayo magamit sila o mga vacuum sewer jet cleaner,
04:36mag-eploy o sub sila o mga personnel, arot na oil, magmuha, mag-remove sa mga waves,
04:43o big reason itong mga nagkadiang waterways,

07:22That's November 12
07:23in Paranaquia City.
07:24So this project
07:26kontrabaha,
07:29this is a nationwide project,

08:13about two
08:14typhoons
08:15that potentially
08:16will hit the
08:17Philippines,
08:17not necessarily
08:18Visayas and Cebu.
08:19So I'm curious
08:20about the timeline
08:21for this clearing
08:22and dredging
08:23of these rivers.
