00:00 Live from the GMA Network Center, this is 24 Horas.
00:06 Good evening, Luzon, Visayas and Mindanao.
00:12 It seems that President Bongbong Marcos has already announced the closure of the road on Thursday and Friday.
00:18 He announced that there will be no extension on the deadline for the consolidation of public vehicles.
00:24 The group Pistón has requested.
00:27 Some groups have supported the modernization program in transportation.
00:31 And Joseph Moro was there.
00:33 400 groups under the United Transport Consolidated Entities went out to the streets to show that they have already consolidated a lot before the December 31 deadline.
00:46 From the Welcome Rotunda in Quezon City.
00:48 Modernization!
00:52 They are in Mendiola, Manila, near Malacanang to show their support for the modernization of public transportation.
00:59 He is against the extension on Thursday and Friday.
01:04 According to the group, the commuters should not worry that they will not be able to ride on December 14 and 15 when the group Pistón will have an extension.
01:13 Because they are the consolidated units that will run.
01:18 They are the part of the sector to paralyze the travel.
01:23 To be honest, it will not affect the travel of those who will be on December 14 and 15.
01:29 According to the LTFRB, 70 percent of the total can be consolidated in the country by the end of the year,
01:36 although in Metro Manila, it is only 26 percent.
01:39 But those who have consolidated are asking to implement the deadline that has been postponed several times.
01:45 That would be unfair for us.
01:47 We have many modernized jeepneys.
01:48 Some members were also surprised that those who have consolidated have lost money.
01:52 Edmond's group, which has consolidated for 2019, said that the monthly income of each modern bus is P70,000.
01:59 The monthly drop is P30,000 for P2.4 million in debt per bus.
02:04 So there will be some left for the maintenance, gas and income of those who will ride the bus.
02:09 It is not the individual operators and drivers who will fall.
02:13 It is the cop who will fall.
02:16 According to President Bongbong Marcos Jr.,
02:18 the transportation officials decided not to extend the deadline.
02:24 The government will not allow the majority of operators to be left behind.
02:29 He also mentioned that 70 percent have consolidated.
02:33 The LTFRB repeated that there will be no phase-out of the traditional jeepneys if the December 31 deadline is passed.
02:42 They will automatically stop their trip because the agency is also avoiding a transportation crisis.
02:47 According to the Piston group, more than 35,000 jeepneys in Metro Manila have not consolidated.
02:53 For GMA Integrated News, Joseph Morong, for Tutok 24 Horas.
02:58 One of the suspects in a viral shooting inside a bus in Nueva Ecija has been arrested.
03:07 He was taught a mastermind in crime, the son of one of the two victims.
03:12 Russell Simorio was also arrested by GMA Regional TV 1 North Central Luzon.
03:17 The shooting inside a passenger bus in Nueva Ecija was a shock to those who watched the video that went viral.
03:31 The victims, a businesswoman and her husband were shot by two gunmen.
03:37 After almost a month, one of the gunmen was already held by the police.
03:42 He was identified as Allan De Los Santos, who according to the PNP is a member of a gun for hire group.
03:48 He was arrested in Dilasag, Aurora and his camouflage clothes were recovered from him.
03:57 In the extrajudicial confession of De Los Santos, he was taught the son of a businesswoman
04:02 who ordered him to commit the crime in exchange of 60,000 pesos.
04:07 Based on the extrajudicial confession, he admitted that the shooting was planned sometime in September.
04:23 He gave an initial payment on the first day of their conversation in September.
04:27 According to the police, the son of the victim was also charged with a case of parricide.
04:31 With regard to the son, it was revealed that he was implicated in the case.
04:43 The motive that we initially looked into when we started the investigation was the filing of robbery and carnapping case of a victim woman to her own son.
04:58 It's sad because we are also blood relatives.
05:01 He committed a crime and he should be paid.
05:06 GMA Regional TV is trying to get a statement from the son of the woman who ordered the crime but his camp is not yet responding.
05:15 But in our exclusive interview on November 25, he is calling on the public not to judge him.
05:22 He also requested a quick investigation on the case for the robbery of the victims to his mother.
05:30 Until now, the manhunt operation for the second gunman, who is known as "Umpak", is still going on.
05:36 For GMA Integrated News, I'm Rassel Simorio of GMA Regional TV, One North, Central Luzon.
05:43 Tune in for 24 hours.
05:46 The family is now holding the sick people like Sabay at the Christmas party and family reunions.
05:53 And not only that, COVID-19 has also increased to a five-month high, according to the Health Department.
05:59 Mark Salazar is on the scene.
06:01 For the Christmas shoppers who were protesting in Revisoria earlier, some are still wearing face masks, but most are not.
06:12 It's been a long time since the obligation to wear a mask and the health protocol is just a personal choice.
06:18 No, we are already getting used to it.
06:22 In some areas, there is no shortage of concern, like the happy but busy Christmas Night Market of Baguio City this long weekend.
06:30 But in the case bulletin of the Department of Health, there is a trend in COVID-19 that is alarming health professionals.
06:39 Cases in the country were increased by 36 percent from December 5 to 11 compared to the following week.
06:47 That's 1,821 new COVID cases and the highest in the past five months.
06:54 Some are now family members, like Dennis Trillo and Jeneline Mercado, who are now infected with COVID.
07:02 Sparkle artist Lovely Abelia is celebrating her birthday in isolation because of COVID.
07:08 They said the number of cases is increasing.
07:11 We cannot avoid it but as we can see, there are a lot of people who are not afraid of COVID.
07:18 And you are not?
07:20 I'm not.
07:22 Some local governments are also worried, like Quezon City, which is now in a red status.
07:26 Last Friday, we saw a doubling of the number of cases.
07:30 We released the average daily case on 27.
07:37 We released the data on December 10 and it became 28.
07:42 But the health care facilities in the country are not yet poor.
07:46 They said that the critical and severe cases of COVID admissions are down by 10 percent.
07:52 That's also an observation in the emergency rooms in Quezon City.
07:57 The good thing about this is that more than 60 percent of the symptoms are mild,
08:03 and then 30 percent are asymptomatic.
08:07 The moderate is only around 2 percent.
08:11 So what we can see is really more on mild symptoms.
08:16 Even so, it can kill those who are old or sick.
08:20 They say that we should not only be careful about COVID.
08:24 We should also be careful about our fellow citizens who have comorbidities,
08:27 our senior citizens.
08:30 We should be twice as careful now.
08:33 Because not only COVID, we also have influenza-like illnesses,
08:37 which are still high, and they can infect us.
08:40 It is also possible that the visa of vaccines is declining, especially if it's been a long time.
08:45 Although not required, masks are being recommended in public places,
08:50 and washing or alcohol use of hands is being recommended.
08:53 For GMA Integrated News, Mark Salazar, 24 Hours.
08:59 Because of the machine's fault and other devices,
09:11 the ML Kalayaan will be stopped first, then the ships of China will be water-cannoned.
09:17 It is also being used in other missions besides resupply.
09:22 It is being used in other missions besides resupply.
09:23 From the window of Oniza May 1,
09:28 AFP Chief of Staff himself is watching the water-cannon of China Coast Guard
09:32 on the ships of the Philippines,
09:34 which are doing rotation and resupply or ROREM mission on the eve of this Sunday.
09:39 But in the next ship's inspection,
09:42 the terrifying machine was even more violent and was attacked for an hour.
09:47 The ML Kalayaan is one of them.
09:50 One of the panels of the bridge was broken.
09:59 When it was broken, the console part was opened.
10:04 The console of the ML Kalayaan was also damaged.
10:09 Its electronic system and navigational equipment were also damaged.
10:15 The power generators of our boat were also damaged, plus the main propulsion engine.
10:21 The two engines of the ML Kalayaan were damaged.
10:24 That's why the supply of food was also damaged.
10:27 It was supposed to be delivered to the soldiers of the BRP Sierra Madre.
10:29 But it was said that the Chinese sent the military to our troops.
10:34 Our main propulsion engine stopped working.
10:37 Practically, they were dead on the water.
10:42 Our boat could have sunk if the flooding of the engine room of the ML Kalayaan continued.
10:48 It's said that this ship will be wrecked.
10:51 That's why it was only able to reach Puerto Princesa.
10:54 Even so, the municipality will reduce the freedom of the boat to use for their own needs,
11:00 aside from helping in the next rotation and resupply mission.
11:04 The ML Kalayaan resupply boat will also be faster.
11:09 But with this present state now, it's crippled.
11:12 The capacity of our boat is significantly reduced.
11:16 Even though the ML Kalayaan was not 100% wrecked,
11:21 it was easily the most important part of the boat that is used for navigation.
11:26 That's why it's one of the most important parts of the boat for damage assessment,
11:29 repair and refitting of the experts in the naval shipyard to maintain its seaworthiness.
11:37 Our government has not yet decided if it will sink China in the pinch that was pushed into our boat,
11:42 but it's said that it's equivalent to being drowned.
11:45 For GMA Integrated News, Maris Umaling, Naktutok, 24 Hours.
11:50 Aside from the harassment, the authorities are also concerned about the obvious expansion of China
11:57 in the artificial island inside the exclusive economic zone of the Philippines.
12:04 This is pointed out by Marisol Abdurrahman, Exclusive.
12:07 Compared to last year, facilities in Panganiban or Mischief Reef are far away
12:16 that was covered by the aerial survey of Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources or BFAR.
12:21 But if the stadium, sports complex and other structures in the artificial island are still under construction,
12:28 there is a possibility that the exclusive economic zone or EEZ of the Philippines will continue on the island.
12:35 They have additional construction of expansion of Mischief Reef.
12:41 But those buildings, there are really that many.
12:44 They are adding more, like they will add more.
12:47 We are also collecting the statement of the National Task Force of West Philippine Sea about this.
12:53 [aircraft engine]
12:59 China's aggressiveness in the West Philippine Sea is up to the point of being a warning.
13:04 This is the most aggressive game in the experience of the mission commander,
13:07 who is also the pilot of the BFAR aerial survey that I accompanied yesterday.
13:11 Aside from the five radio challenges,
13:13 we were also fired four times by the red flare from Mischief Reef yesterday.
13:19 In four quadrants, they issued warning shots of red flares
13:24 to warn us not to approach their reef.
13:32 But we were still able to approach the area.
13:34 Whatever the warning shot of the flare, we will still do our duty.
13:42 Aside from the facilities in Mischief Reef,
13:46 we also observed the Chinese forces' surveillance.
13:49 There is a movement of their vehicles below.
13:51 They have perimeter roads, right?
13:53 So wherever we go, their trucks are also following.
13:58 Maybe they are also showing that they are ready
14:01 in case of whatever we will do, maneuvering in the area.
14:06 They also blocked the runway of the trucks.
14:09 To give a warning that you cannot land there.
14:14 From here in West Philippine Sea,
14:16 for GMA Integrated News, Marisol Abduraman,
14:20 "Nakatutok 24 Horas."
14:23 Preparing for the "chacha" while on Christmas break.
14:27 That is what the leader of the camera announced
14:30 to make sure that the charter change will be done next year.
14:34 Will the old plans be included there,
14:37 like the change in the term of the officials?
14:40 "Nakatutok si Tina Pangniban Perez."
14:42 [Music]
14:45 New year, new constitution?
14:48 That is what the camera's target is.
14:50 What will be the target? Still the economy.
14:53 Still the same as the old plans.
14:55 I believe 2024 will allow us again to revisit the whole issue.
15:00 We'd like to focus very much on the economic provisions.
15:04 Perhaps what could be our legacy in the 19th Congress
15:09 to review and revisit the 87th Constitution
15:12 and make it more attuned and sensitive and responsive to the times.
15:17 That is why even though the camera is on Christmas break starting next week,
15:21 the preparation for the charter change or "chacha" will be in full swing.
15:25 The speaker did not mention anything about the change of the term, but,
15:29 To make sure that the economic provisions are backed up,
15:33 we would have to also have a story of continuity in governments.
15:38 While the senior deputy speaker's speech,
15:40 the term of the President, Congressmen and local officials
15:43 will be five years,
15:46 and they will be allowed to sit for the next two terms.
15:49 Will the Senate support this?
15:52 The Senators will not move.
15:54 There is still six years and two terms.
15:57 They are receptive to the charter change.
15:59 They are not affected.
16:01 As for the camera lab,
16:04 the resolution of both houses, six,
16:06 will be passed,
16:08 and it will be called to a Constitutional Convention or CONCON
16:11 to prepare the 1987 Constitution.
16:13 In CONCON, delegates will have an election to change the Constitution.
16:18 The election of the delegates, will that happen before the 2025 elections or during?
16:23 That is part of the mode we are going to tackle.
16:27 What mode?
16:29 If that is a CONCON again,
16:32 CONAS or PI.
16:34 But because the Senate is not talking to the Chacha,
16:37 the camera will be sought in a different way.
16:40 Sir, can the Chacha push the House even without the support of the Senator?
16:45 That depends.
16:47 If we will use the PI, People's Initiative.
16:50 In People's Initiative,
16:52 the signature of the residents of each legislative district will be taken as a benchmark.
16:56 The question to the people is easy.
17:00 Are you conforming to our changes in the Legislative Assembly?
17:05 I think we will get 3-5% of our total voters.
17:14 The Constitution can also be amended through the Constituent Assembly or CONAS
17:20 where the Congressmen and Senators will be present to change the Legislative Assembly.
17:26 They say that the target is to pass the Chacha before the State of the Nation Address of the President in 2024.
17:32 Will the President support this?
17:35 This is a legislative work and that's a different body that's executive.
17:42 I think the legislative will be the one to initiate this purpose.
17:48 For GMA Integrated News, Tina Panganiban Perez, Nakatutok, 24 Hours.
17:56 In the hot months, even in December,
17:59 they say that they are preparing for the new year.
18:03 In January, 11 provinces will experience drought due to El Niño.
18:09 77% of the country will experience heat when May comes.
18:16 The government's steps in the implementation of the Iban Mayrina.
18:24 Are you excited for the cold morning this past two weeks? It's Christmas.
18:28 Because of that, the feeling of strong El Niño started.
18:32 It even grew according to the expectation.
18:34 It will continue to grow until it reaches the heat peak at the end of May of 2024.
18:39 The maximum temperature in Northern Luzon around April or May can be up to 41.41 degrees centigrade.
18:52 That will be the actual temperature.
18:54 But if you add on the heat index, usually plus 5 to 15 degrees.
19:00 The heat index is different. It's important for the human body.
19:04 In the next few months, 11 provinces, most of which are in Luzon, will experience drought.
19:10 That means 60% or more of the country will experience rain in the next three months,
19:16 when May comes.
19:19 But in 65 provinces from Luzon to Mindanao, 77% of the country will experience drought.
19:25 At the President's office, the task force El Niño was ordered to be formed
19:30 to coordinate the agencies that will respond to the effects of the drought.
19:34 The National Action Plan is a measure that has sufficient water and energy supply
19:39 to avoid widespread brownouts.
19:42 The public's safety is also ensured from the incidents of fire,
19:47 and from diseases that can cause severe heat.
19:49 But the most important thing to focus on is food supply
19:53 because of the expected reduction of drought in agriculture.
19:56 This El Niño is said to be a counterpart to the one that was established in 1997 to 1998.
20:01 It is the most significant El Niño recorded in history
20:04 that more than P800 billion pesos were spent on agriculture.
20:08 We have to make sure that if food is affected,
20:12 the supply should be ample because it might affect the pricing.
20:16 Today, the Angat Dam is at 212.5 meters,
20:20 which is the supply of water for 70% of Metro Manila.
20:24 It is still within the normal high water level,
20:26 but the public is also hoping that they will save on water and electricity
20:31 as a preparation for the upcoming crisis brought by the El Niño.
20:35 For GMA Integrated News, Ivan Meyrina, for 24 Hours.
20:44 Kapuso, we are about to discover the isolated island of Alitap-Tap in the movie Firefly.
20:50 But first, the ones who attended the star-studded advance screening
20:54 of the MMFF entry of GMA Public Affairs and GMA Pictures
20:58 with the cast live of Aubrey Carampel.
21:02 Aubrey, what's up?
21:09 Yes, it's really a bit of a mess tonight, not only because of the advance screening of the movie Firefly,
21:15 but also because there are a lot of celebrities, Kapuso stars,
21:18 who are here to watch the movie's official entry in the 2023 Metro Manila Film Festival.
21:24 Max Collins, Yayo Aguila, Epi Quizon, Cherry Pie Picache, Isabel Ortega, Miguel Tan Felix,
21:33 Sparkle Child star Ewen Micael, and Alessandra De Rossi are here.
21:38 Miss Universe 2023 Top 10 finalist Michelle Marquez-D,
21:41 Kapuso prime time princess Barbie Forteza, and Radzon Flores are also here.
21:46 Senior Vice President for GMA Pictures and First Vice President for Public Affairs Neza Valdalion is also here.
21:52 Our multi-awarded broadcast journalist Jessica Soho,
21:56 Kapuso documentarists Atom Arawlyo and Cara David are also here.
22:01 Firefly is the biggest film of the year of GMA Pictures and GMA Public Affairs.
22:07 This is about the story of Eli and Ton-Ton directed by Zig Dulai.
22:12 And I am very excited to watch the movie.
22:16 Of course, there is no one else but the stars of Firefly.
22:20 And I am with them now.
22:23 None other than Sparkle Child star Ewen Micael,
22:27 Miguel Tan Felix, Isabel Ortega, and of course, the talented actress, Miss Alessandra De Rossi.
22:35 Alex, I am super excited to watch Firefly.
22:38 Yes, I am the mother of the child.
22:41 I am super excited.
22:43 Can we play it now?
22:46 Can we finish it now?
22:49 We will make it quick.
22:51 Miguel and Isabel, you know this is your first time, right?
22:54 Yes, first movie, first time MFF, so I am very excited finally.
22:58 I will also watch it for the first time, all of us.
23:02 I heard that they cried, so I don't know what I am expecting inside.
23:05 But I am excited.
23:07 You will watch it for the first time?
23:09 Yes, first time. A lot of people cried in the first screening.
23:11 I might cry too. Do you have tissue there?
23:14 Yes, we brought it. We have a sponsor.
23:17 Ewen, what do you want to say? Invite them.
23:21 I invite you to watch Firefly this December 25.
23:25 Bring the whole set.
23:28 And by the way, El Nido is coming.
23:30 The main ingredient of Nido Soup is the bird's nest from the bird's nest.
23:35 But because the number of birds is decreasing, the local government is taking action.
23:41 And Jonathan is the one who is in charge.
23:43 Not only is El Nido in Palawan known for its beautiful beaches,
23:51 the ingredients for the famous Nido Soup also comes from here.
23:57 The name of the place is Nido because El Nido is the Spanish word for nest.
24:02 The first people to find a nest here were the people who were able to get the nest of the bird from caves.
24:08 The nest was made from the nest of the bird.
24:11 It is made into a soup or Nido Soup that is nutritious and can strengthen the metabolism and resistance.
24:18 But after the tourism here, the number of birds in the nest has decreased.
24:23 Even the food that Nido Soup is eating has decreased.
24:26 When you walk around El Nido, you will see a lot of Western or Asian cuisine.
24:30 Like burger, pizza, pasta, gelato, Chinese, Japanese, Thai food.
24:36 But I can hardly see any food that is served by El Nido like Nido Soup.
24:43 That's why the Mayor of El Nido has created a technical working committee to solve this problem.
24:49 We need to study why the number of birds in the nest is decreasing.
24:56 We need to require the restaurants to serve Nido Soup to the guests.
25:08 This is the identity of El Nido.
25:12 Sharon is one of the restaurant owners who plans to put Nido Soup in their menu.
25:18 We're known for the seafoods actually.
25:20 But since I'm in El Nido, I want to be able to promote the Balinsasayaw or Nido Soup.
25:28 The ingredients of the authentic Nido Soup are only three.
25:31 The Balinsasayaw, egg, and cornstarch for thickening.
25:35 So this is the authentic Nido Soup made here in El Nido.
25:43 What you can taste here is the egg and the texture of the Balinsasayaw.
25:49 It's like a jelly.
25:51 But some environmentalists are against the extraction of the Balinsasayaw.
25:55 Some people believe that you're taking away the nest.
25:58 But there is a more consensual way of doing it.
26:03 Last week, El Nido held the Balinsasayaw Festival.
26:09 This year, El Nido has already passed a lot of tourists before the pandemic.
26:16 The French nationals who were there were able to escape the cold weather in their country.
26:21 It's my place, it's more winter time.
26:24 That's why the Philippines was a great idea.
26:26 I heard about the lagoon, the lakes, the beautiful landscapes.
26:31 So I just want to see that with my own eyes.
26:36 From El Nido, Palawan, for GMA Integrated News, Jonathan Andal, for 24 Hours.
26:41 My fellow countrymen, the smell of the fresh air is slowly returning.
26:57 But it's not strong enough.
27:00 And now, it's only affecting the extreme northern Luzon.
27:05 The other affected region of Easterlizo is the hot wind from the Pacific Ocean.
27:10 Even if the weather is bad, the chance of rain is still there.
27:14 That's based on the data of Metro Weather.
27:16 Where the rain almost stopped in some parts of Cagayan, Isabela, and some places in Cordillera.
27:21 Also in Aurora, Quezon, and Mindoro provinces.
27:24 There's heavy rain in northern Luzon, so be prepared for possible flooding.
27:28 Or landslide.
27:30 In Metro Manila, the chance of rain is low now, but it's possible for it to change.
27:34 So always bring an umbrella.
27:36 Expect heavy rain in Visayas, especially in the western and eastern portions.
27:41 In Mindanao, there's a chance of rain yesterday.
27:44 In the more western, northern Mindanao, Caragat, Davao region, and in some parts of BARMM.
27:51 A new bill to restore the SMNI franchise was passed in the House of Representatives.
27:58 It's based on the resolution of the NTC that the franchise should be cancelled, which the SMNI called unconstitutional.
28:04 Sandra Aguinaldo was the one who passed it.
28:06 A week after being cited in contempt and put in jail under the Constitution,
28:14 the SMNI hosts were released, Lorraine Badoy and Eric Celiz,
28:20 for humanitarian reasons, especially during Easter.
28:23 They're free to go. This is not a furlough.
28:27 We asked them already to be lifted their detention.
28:31 And if they're needed in the future, we will just call them back.
28:34 They verbally told me that they know that they have a lack.
28:40 As far as I'm concerned, they're also both remorseful.
28:45 Before being released, they had a medical exam,
28:49 especially because they were drinking because of the hunger strike while in jail.
28:54 Despite being free, the committee continued to listen to the alleged misunderstanding of the two
28:59 regarding the travel expenses of Speaker Martin Romualdez.
29:02 There were added details that were made public,
29:05 in accordance with the source of Celiz mentioned in the committee.
29:08 The Senate President has been informed about it.
29:11 The person exists in the Senate.
29:14 He is the source of Eric.
29:19 So I think the Senate should deal with it.
29:24 They should investigate it.
29:27 The House Committee on Legislative Franchises approved a similar resolution
29:32 that is appealing to the National Telecommunications Commission or NTC
29:36 to cancel the franchise of TV Network, said SMNI.
29:40 I believe that is unconstitutional.
29:43 In the very first place, there should be a separation of the executive, legislative, and judiciary.
29:53 The reason of the committee in the resolution was that SMNI changed the terms of conditions of the franchise.
30:00 But SMNI said that the Congress or NTC cannot dictate that it is under the executive branch of the government.
30:07 We tried to get a new agreement with the NTC,
30:11 but they said that they will study the resolution.
30:14 Aside from the resolution, there is a separate legislative branch that was approved
30:18 to restore the franchise of SMNI that was referred to the committee.
30:23 The legal team of SMNI are ready to defend the franchise of SMNI.
30:28 For GMA Integrated News, Sandra Aguinaldo, for 24 Hours.

32:03 Vicky, from 6 pm to 11 pm, the lights here in Taal Batangas will be on.

32:18 for 24 Hours.

32:31 The Department of Foreign Affairs called the ambassador of China
32:37 to condemn the next harassments to the Philippine ships in the West Philippine Sea.
32:43 But China also opposed the protest.
32:48 JP Soriano was the one who was arrested.
32:50 [Music]
32:54 This is a dangerous action of the China Coast Guard last week
32:57 in the rotation and resupply mission of the Philippines in Eungin Shoal.
33:02 The reason why the Chinese ambassador to the Philippines, Wang Xinyan, was called
33:07 in his confrontation with Foreign Affairs Undersecretary Teresa Lazaro.
33:12 According to the DFA, Wang was told to be direct in protesting this by the Philippines.
33:19 DFA Undersecretary Maria Teresa P. Lazaro verbally delivered the protest
33:24 against the Chinese dangerous maneuvers that led to collusion, illegal shadowing,
33:29 and undue use of water cannons against the rotation and resupply mission
33:34 undertaken by the Philippines in the Eungin Shoal
33:38 for the Philippine government detachment in the PRP Sierra Madre.
33:42 Lazaro also told Wang that China has no right to know
33:48 and to interfere in the legitimate activities of the Philippines in the West Philippine Sea
33:53 which is inside our exclusive economic zone.
33:57 Direct its vessels to seize and decease from its illegal actions against Philippine vessels
34:03 and to stop interfering in legitimate Philippine government activities
34:07 or lingering in the waters around the Eungin Shoal
34:11 in doing any action that violates the Philippine sovereign rights and jurisdiction.
34:17 The incident in the Eungin Shoal is not the only protest by the Philippines
34:21 but also the incident in Bajo de Masinloc.
34:25 The department likewise expressed the Philippine government's strong protests
34:29 against China's conduct of dangerous maneuvers and use of water cannons
34:33 against three Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources vessels,
34:37 the Datu Sande, Datu Bangkaw, and Datu Tamblot,
34:41 which were engaged in a humanitarian and support mission
34:45 to provide fuel and grocery packages to Philippine fishermen
34:48 who are only trying to fish in their traditional fishing ground in Bajo de Masinloc.
34:54 The Chinese Embassy in the Philippines has not yet made an official statement here
34:59 but in the letter of the official state news agency of China, Xinhua,
35:03 it was stated that Wang called the Philippines' actions in the Eungin Shoal and Bajo de Masinloc
35:13 and he spread the serious protest of China here.
35:17 Wang said that these were China's territory
35:21 and that they have sovereign rights in the islands in the South China Sea.
35:26 Wang said that the Philippines stopped these actions and returned to dialogue.
35:33 In Pulong earlier, the DFA reiterated the position of the Philippines here.
35:40 The same messages were likewise conveyed by the DFA
35:43 and the Philippine Embassy in Beijing to the Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs in the previous days.
35:48 For GMA Integrated News, J.P. Soriano, 24 Hours.

36:23 I am so happy that we are all here again
36:28 because it's been a long time since we had this again.
36:32 But the intimate dinner was filled with Sanya's answer
36:35 to the question about her love life.
36:37 There are guys who are approaching us,
36:41 but are you ready when I'm around?
36:45 I don't know if I'm really courting someone.
36:49 I'm getting jealous.
36:53 Sanya didn't detail who her man would be,
36:57 but for the actress, her ideal man
37:01 is the one who gives me true love.
37:03 Of course, faithful.
37:05 And the one who I respect, especially my family,
37:10 and of course, the people who love me.
