00:00Good morning. Here are the first news brought to you by GMA Integrated News.
00:2015 posts in Barangay Lambakin, Marilao, Bulacan were destroyed after their cables were hit by a truck.
00:32A school and a wall of a subdivision were also damaged.
00:38More than 700 houses were also cut off.
00:41And live from Marilao, Bulacan, we have the first news from James Agustin. James.
00:48Igan, Maris, Ivan, up to this time, GMA is still working on the 15 posts of electricity that were hit by Barangay Lambakin, Marilao, Bulacan.
01:04Residents helped the injured motorcycle riders and cyclists who were hit by the falling cables.
01:11It happened in Mario Santiago Road, Barangay Lambakin, Marilao, Bulacan before midnight.
01:16More than 15 posts of electricity were damaged.
01:20The cables just fell on the road.
01:22The roof of a school was partially damaged by the posts.
01:26The wall of a subdivision was also damaged.
01:29Christian was on his way home on his motorcycle when he witnessed the incident.
01:35There was a slump before I could reach the last post that fell.
01:41Suddenly, all the cables fell.
01:46It exploded.
01:48It's a good thing that I didn't rush. I didn't reach the road.
01:52It was fast because the fall was continuous.
01:54It was like a domino effect.
01:56The reason for this is that 10 wheelers were pulled from the cables of electricity.
02:01The truck came from Valenzuela.
02:03It was supposed to deliver land to Marilao.
02:06The authorities are still investigating this.
02:09The driver of the truck is in the custody of Marilao Municipal Police Station.
02:13The police did not allow the media to interview him.
02:16The perpetrator refused to give a statement.
02:20According to the people of Miralco who responded to the scene,
02:23about 743 households lost their supply of electricity.
02:27They are busy fixing the fallen posts.
02:30It's not yet possible for the motorists to cross the road.
02:34That's why the tricycle driver, Andre, was affected.
02:37He first blocked the tricycle from his friend.
02:40We are crossing the road.
02:42We only see a few people.
02:44It's still a periwisio.
02:45We don't have a trip today.
02:48I will travel in the afternoon.
02:50That's how it happened.
02:53Some residents were forced to walk a few meters to get home.
02:58We can't cross the road.
03:01We have been walking for a long time.
03:03I can't walk anymore.
03:05It's a big problem.
03:06My father also travels by tricycle.
03:11This is what we can see.
03:13This is just the beginning of the road.
03:15This is where the last post of Miralco fell.
03:20They are still busy fixing it.
03:23The motorists are not allowed to cross this road.
03:26That's why this morning, people were forced to walk to school or work.
03:32I can only see the bicyclists here.
03:35Earlier, there were some motorcyclists.
03:38But they also blocked the road in this area.
03:42How long is this road?
03:44The last post of Miralco fell 15 meters.
03:47It's almost a kilometer.
03:51This is where the last post of Miralco fell last night.
03:56Miralco can't tell us when they will finish fixing this post of Miralco.
04:01There are so many affected.
04:03That's the first news from Bulacan.
04:05I am James Agustin for GME Integrated News.
04:13This week, another volcanic smog was reported.
04:17Some parts of Batangas and Cavite were covered by the Taal Volcano.
04:21This is not the first time.
04:23According to the Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology,
04:26this might not be the last time.
04:29Taal is one of the most active volcanoes in the country.
04:33According to PHIVOX, there are frequent activities in Taal,
04:36such as the eruption of volcanic gas.
04:40This is not an automatic indication of an imminent eruption.
04:44It can be seen as sulfur dioxide or sulfur
04:46from the most feared gases released by a volcano.
04:50This gas is toxic and causes difficulty in breathing
04:53depending on the amount and duration of exposure.
04:56The smog is the result of the mixture of volcanic gas
04:59with our air as a pollutant.
05:02The ending is that the area is almost zero visibility
05:06and the sky is dark.
05:08The smog can also irritate the eyes, nose, skin,
05:12or even the lungs.
05:14It can also cause headache, difficulty in breathing,
05:17headache, dizziness, or nausea.
05:20Children, old people, pregnant women,
05:23and pregnant women should be more careful about the smog.
05:25It can cause heartache or kidney disease.
05:28PHIVOX recommends wearing an N95 face mask
05:32to stay at home and close the windows and doors.
05:36If you feel even a little irritation,
05:38drink plenty of water.
05:40Remember, the longer the effect of the smog,
05:43the more dangerous it is for human health.
05:49For an update on the volcanic smog or vog
05:52from the Taal Volcano,
05:53we will be joined by PHIVOX Director Teresito Bacolcol.
05:56Good morning, Director.
05:58Yes, sir. Good morning to you too.
06:00Is there still a visible smog from the Taal Volcano?
06:05Well, after the rain yesterday,
06:07the observed smog was only in the Taal Caldera.
06:11So right now, we are still waiting for other reports
06:15if there is another smog around Batangas area.
06:22But as of yesterday afternoon, after the rain,
06:25the smog was only observed in the Taal Caldera.
06:28So the rain really helped a lot.
06:31You're right. The smog was washed out yesterday.
06:34A lot of people are posting on social media
06:36about the situation here in Metro Manila.
06:39So we would like to confirm from PHIVOX Director,
06:42did the smog from the Taal Volcano reach Metro Manila?
06:45The smog from the Taal Volcano did not reach Metro Manila.
06:49What happened is that for the past three days,
06:52not just in Batangas but also in Metro Manila,
06:56the wind speed was slow.
06:58It was only one meter per second.
07:00On August 15, we measured 3,355 tons per day of sulfur dioxide in Batangas.
07:06Because of the slow wind, it cannot rise,
07:09that's why there was a smog.
07:11Here in Metro Manila, the haze that we observed yesterday
07:15is most likely due to local pollutants rather than smog.
07:18Like what happened in Batangas,
07:20the pollutants cannot rise because the wind is slow,
07:25causing these pollutants to remain at the lower levels
07:28and create the haze that we saw yesterday.
07:31So it means that here in Metro Manila, it's pollution.
07:35Yes. It's not smog.
07:37How long did you expect the Taal Volcano to erupt?
07:42Well, it's still a long time because if we compare this with,
07:48for example, the Miyakejima Volcano in Japan when it erupted in 2000,
07:55it took several years before the sulfur dioxide emission dissipated.
08:01So it took five years.
08:03Then a study in 2017 reported that sulfur dioxide emission in that volcano
08:10became weak or insignificant.
08:12So we'll probably wait for the same number of years
08:17before the Taal Volcano's sulfur dioxide emission becomes totally insignificant.
08:23Director, this is just a signal.
08:25The public and the residents might be worried
08:28that this is just a signal that the Taal Volcano erupted again.
08:31This is not a signal that the Taal Volcano erupted again
08:35on the same level, on the same magnitude as the 2020 eruption.
08:38Yes.
08:39Yes. We can see a phreatic eruption from time to time.
08:41Right now, we haven't seen a volcanic earthquake in the Taal Volcano for the past 12 days.
08:48Yes.
08:49Since August 8, we haven't seen a volcanic earthquake.
08:52That's one of the things we need to remember.
08:54Sulfur dioxide is just one of the parameters that we are looking at.
08:59So we look at the data collectively and analyze the data.
09:04Again, the number of volcanic earthquakes is very significant
09:08because when the number of earthquakes increases,
09:10it means that there is a magma rising and breaking the rocks.
09:13Again, for now, we haven't seen a volcanic earthquake for the past 12 days.
09:18In that observation, should the Taal Volcano be raised to alert level 2, Director?
09:21Again, not yet.
09:23As I've said, we haven't seen a volcanic earthquake.
09:28The ground deformation, instead of inflating,
09:32because when the magma rises, the volcano inflates.
09:36What we are seeing now is long-term deflation.
09:39Yes.
09:40Director, here in Batangas, the smell is said to be smelly.
09:46Is that true?
09:48Yes, you're right.
09:49Sulfur dioxide is smelly.
09:52The smell is smelly.
09:54That's the VAG and associated with VAG is haze and smelly smell.
10:03Okay.
10:04Can you get an update on the magnitude 5.7 earthquake yesterday
10:09that was felt in Island Visayas and Bicol?
10:13Well, as of 12 a.m. earlier, we have recorded 17 aftershocks.
10:22The magnitude of the aftershocks ranged from 1.2 to 3.8.
10:28All of these aftershocks were not felt.
10:32Can the aftershocks continue today, Director?
10:36Yes.
10:37The aftershocks would take several days to dissipate.
10:41Okay.
10:42Thank you very much, P.O. Box Director Teresito Bakulkol.
10:45Take care.
10:46Thank you very much as well.
10:52Many people are getting married.
10:54Many people are also being victimized by the Kuwailang Trust.
10:57Give me my money, Trent.
11:00Who is that?
11:01Give me my money!
11:06Just give me my money!
11:10How cute!
11:11That's the visceral family of its showtime host, Vice Ganda.
11:15It's Nanay Rosario herself, the Nagoyo.
11:18Nanay is so cute.
11:20And this is fun and set.
11:22She's also a tease in some heart-to-heart series
11:25like the upcoming drama, Princess of the City Jail.
11:30There.
11:31Some of Gillian Ward's co-stars in Abot Kamay na Pangarap
11:34and Doc R.J., Doc Katie, and Nurse Evad.
11:41This is Raver Cruz and Miguel Tan Felix
11:44who became the target of some heart-to-heart singers
11:46like Julian San Jose, Derek Monesterio, and Mark Bautista
11:50as well as Jessica Villa-Rubio.
11:56There are no face-to-face classes today.
11:58There are a lot of places in Southern Luzon
12:00due to the effect of volcanic smog or vog from Taal Volcano.
12:05Some residents are already in trouble
12:07because they feel the effect of vog.
12:10Live from Batangas City,
12:11we have the first news from Paul Hernandez of GMA Regional TV.
12:17Paul?
12:18Igan, good morning.
12:19There are some residents in Batangas
12:21who are experiencing pain and difficulty in breathing.
12:24But according to Batangas PDRRMO,
12:27they have no sign of being admitted to the hospital
12:30because of the volcanic smog.
12:36The effect of volcanic smog or vog
12:39was clearly seen in Batangas yesterday.
12:41The tricycle drivers in Balete, Batangas
12:44had to endure it.
12:45The smoke is very bad.
12:46It got into the lungs.
12:50It's dangerous now.
12:51The lungs are in pain.
12:52The volcano is making smoke there.
12:54We are afraid.
12:55More than 30 towns were affected by vog
12:58according to the Provincial Disaster Risk Reduction Management Office
13:02or PDRRMO Batangas.
13:04These include the towns surrounding the volcano.
13:08Of the 31 out of 34 municipalities that we have,
13:12there are 4 cities there.
13:14We know that the wind is very weak.
13:19Because of the effect of vog,
13:21face-to-face classes are still suspended
13:24in some places in Batangas
13:26including the towns of Lian, Calatagan, Tuwi, Nasugbu,
13:30Lemery, Bawan, San Juan, San Luis, Taal, Agoncillo,
13:35Balayan, Mabini, even in Tanawan City, Calacas City, and San Jose.
13:40Asynchronous or distance learning is being carried out.
13:43Face-to-face classes are also suspended
13:45in all public and private schools in the province of Laguna.
13:50Face-to-face classes are also canceled
13:52in Amadeo, General Trias, Silang, Kawit, Imus City, and Rosario
13:58in the province of Cavite.
14:00There are also no face-to-face classes in Lubang Occidental, Mindoro today.
14:04Vog is happening because the volcanic gas of Taal Volcano
14:08that was trapped in the Himpapawid and that's why it got mixed up with the smoke.
14:11According to PHIVOX,
14:12the slow movement of the wind in Taal Volcano Island is a factor
14:15that's why the volcanic gas is not dissipated immediately.
14:18The plume of smoke reaches 2,400 meters above sea level.
14:23The last recorded sulfur dioxide emission in the volcano
14:26will reach more than 3,300 meters above sea level.
14:39N95 face masks have been distributed to the affected areas.
14:44According to PDRRMO Batangas,
14:46there is no trace of treatment due to the effect of the vog.
14:50PHIVOX has repeatedly said that this is not a sign that Taal Volcano will erupt
14:55especially since there is no sign of an eruption.
14:58It's still a month because we haven't recorded an earthquake for the past 11 days.
15:04Face masks are being distributed in order to avoid leaving the house
15:08as a protection against increased volcanic gases.
15:16Igan, compared to yesterday,
15:18we noticed that the presence of volcanic smog or vog has decreased here in the area.
15:23It's brighter here in Batangas City.
15:27Igan.
15:28Thank you very much, Paul Hernandez for GMA Regional TV.
15:31In our interview earlier with PHIVOX Director Teresito Bacolcol,
15:35he said that the vog from Taal Volcano didn't reach Metro Manila.
15:39He said that the smoke we see in NCR is a pollution.
15:47The anti-dengue campaign continues here in Barangay 164 in Caloocan.
15:53This is the purpose of the protest.
15:56There will be no increase in the number of dengue cases
15:59even though the Department of Health is saying that this year,
16:02the number of dengue cases increased by 33% for this month of August.
16:08They are saying that there could be a battle to declare the outbreak level of dengue.
16:15That's why local government units are making efforts
16:19such as fogging, misting, and spraying
16:23that they believe will help to eradicate the smog caused by dengue.
16:29Meanwhile, in other news,
16:31the Philippine Embassy in Kenya is warning our countrymen in Africa
16:37about the MPAX or Monkey PAX.
16:41This is in accordance with the declaration of the World Health Organization
16:44that there are MPAX outbreaks in some countries in Africa.
16:47According to the Department of Foreign Affairs,
16:50there are almost 400 Filipinos in Congo while more than 100 in Kenya.
16:55They don't have any Filipinos who were infected.
16:58Here in the Philippines, there is only one case of MPAX this year.
17:03The Department of Health said that a 33-year-old man from Metro Manila
17:07is the patient who has no travel history in other countries.
17:11He is the 10th case of MPAX in the country since 2022.
17:15The DOH is conducting contact tracing.
17:18He is a child in the WHO, but the MPAX is not a smallpox.
17:23Usually, the symptoms of MPAX are nausea, fever,
17:27nausea, headache, pain in the joints,
17:31weakness, and swelling of the lymph nodes.
17:34According to the DOH, there are 17 hospitals in the country
17:37where people with mild MPAX can go.
17:40Despite the fact that there is a first case,
17:42there is no need to worry, but we should still be careful.
17:45The DOH's recommendation is to always wash your hands
17:48especially that it's easy to die from MPAX in soap.
17:56We should not worry because we are so many who are uncertain.
18:04MPAX was first determined in 1957 as an illness,
18:10and then it's just going back and forth.
18:13But it's also good that we should be careful.
18:16We should be prepared. That's our job.
18:19We should be prepared and raise the level of knowledge.
18:23Next up is Senator Rizontiveros.
18:27Former Mayor Alice Guo is no longer in the Philippines.
18:29We will interview her lawyer, Atty. Stephen David.
18:32Atty. David, good morning.
18:34Good morning Ivan.
18:37Sir, Senator Rizontiveros said that based on documents she obtained,
18:41former Mayor Guo is no longer in the Philippines.
18:45The Presidential Anti-Organized Crime Commission is also saying that.
18:48Are we also ready to confirm that Mayor Guo is no longer in the Philippines?
18:52Of course, I cannot confirm that.
18:55Maybe their report has a basis.
18:59For me, I talked to my client.
19:02She said that she's in the Philippines.
19:04I talked to her yesterday because I read these issues.
19:08Yesterday sir? You talked to her yesterday?
19:11Yes.
19:12And she told you that she's in the Philippines?
19:14She's in the Philippines.
19:16Did she say where exactly or at least area?
19:21Is she in Luzon, Mindanao?
19:24I'm not asking that because her condition is very controversial.
19:29If something happens, she might change her mind.
19:33But anyway, she mentioned 100 percent that she's in the Philippines.
19:39The comment that Senator Rizontiveros is saying, it's hard for me to disagree.
19:47For three reasons. First, the notary that you mentioned earlier, Atty. Elmer Galicia, he's a lawyer.
19:58He's a true lawyer.
20:01If you're having a hard time with your lawyer's license and you know that it's controversial and popular,
20:09if you sign that, you know that there's an investigation.
20:14He personally appeared before you?
20:16Yes.
20:17Is he in the same firm as you, Atty. David?
20:19Atty. Galicia?
20:20No.
20:21You're in different firms?
20:23No. He's from Bulacan.
20:25But if he's in a firm, even if it's me, I will sign it because it's my job as a lawyer.
20:33That's why I don't believe that he's not in the Philippines.
20:39Why would a lawyer with a name that you're not familiar with, why would you be confused when you sign a false case?
20:49So I have full trust and confidence with the integrity of Atty. Elmer Galicia.
20:55It's hard to think of a person who has a hard time becoming a lawyer.
21:01He barricaded himself and destroyed himself because of that.
21:05If they have evidence that he's in Malaysia or Singapore,
21:12our law is broad.
21:16They have coordination with the PNPolice, whatever you call it.
21:22If they have a video, he's really there.
21:26Atty. David.
21:27We all know that.
21:29When you talked to former Mayor Goh yesterday, did he say that he's ready to face his cases?
21:37Yes. He really wants to.
21:40Of course, the mayor is too young to hide for the rest of his life.
21:45If that's the case, why hasn't he confessed until now?
21:49I don't understand because he has real or imaginary fear for his life.
21:56If there's a threat to him or not, he believes that there's a threat because of so much bullying and bashing to him.
22:07The Chinese spy was arrested.
22:09It's hard for him to move.
22:13If he faces the public, what will happen to him?
22:19That's why he said that in due time, he will face it if he knows that he's safe.
22:23In due time. But as his lawyer, are you sending him to the gallows as soon as possible?
22:29Yes. You know, the defense of the mayor is different.
22:34His defense is good, BIR, human trafficking.
22:40It's a good answer.
22:42But if he won't coordinate with me, I will be intimidated by his defense.
22:47I'm trying to persuade her to face these legal battles so we can show the world, you and me, that we can fight for the truth.
23:02So as it stands, Atty., you're indicating that Mayor Go is still here and you're sending him to the gallows.
23:09And you're saying that he will face it in due time.
23:12Yes. That's what I'm sure of.
23:14Of course, Atty. Galicia is a lawyer.
23:16I believe that he's a brother lawyer.
23:18I don't know if you believe that under his solemn oath, he will say that the person is here in the Philippines.
23:26Any word to the relatives of former Mayor Go? Are you also representing them?
23:32No. I don't know. I don't know that this case is this complicated.
23:41I don't know that this episode is this wide.
23:46To him, his family is not included.
23:52Atty. David, thank you very much for your time. Thank you for joining us.
24:22Maris, good morning. Good morning to all of you.
24:26Good morning.
24:27First of all, has Senate President Chiza Escudero talked to the DOTR?
24:32Will he be allowed to register the unconsolidated Jeep and UV Express even though the deadline has been set?
24:39First of all, I don't know that there was a communication with the DOTR, our good Senator President Escudero.
24:49But regarding the thing that they want to register, just to clarify, the consolidation was not accepted by the two groups.
25:01Among 100, only two groups did not want to consolidate, which expired.
25:06The result of not consolidating is that you cannot register because you made a decision not to consolidate.
25:16I did not see that because they made a decision not to consolidate.
25:21Even though Senator President Chiza can still talk to you?
25:25Definitely. When we talk, we always say, as per Secretary Bautista, we are open for any group, any personality to talk.
25:37Because we know that at the end of the day, I think everybody wants to help what's happening now.
25:43So we will respect that kind of talk.
25:47What is the reaction of the Transportation Department to Senator President Escudero's statement that they will not register their unconsolidated franchise?
25:56First of all, we did not register that. That is a consequence of their decision not to consolidate.
26:05I think the program and the government is very clear on that.
26:10I guess we just have to respect their decision and they should also accept the consequence of such a decision.
26:18Senator President Escudero also questioned the fact that 83% are consolidated.
26:25If that's the case, why are there still commuters affected when a transport strike is carried out in the Philippines?
26:31What can you say about this?
26:33If we look at the 80%, that's a huge percentage.
26:39If we will look, if they have strikes or protests, if we look at the affected areas and compare it to the entire Philippines, it is a minor, very small percentage.
26:56That's why it really shows that 80% is a true number.
27:00Maybe there are certain places that are having problems, but that's definitely small compared to the country's area and the number of vehicles.
27:10Exactly. The point of Senator President Issa Escudero is why are there still many affected who are not driving?
27:17Maybe, just to be very fair to the states that are coming out, there are not many as compared to the area.
27:26Definitely, we are not excluding them. There are certain places.
27:30If you are doing strikes or protests, there are certain instances that would really affect.
27:36That's where we are improving our balance every time they do such actions.
27:43Because of these developments in the Senate, are there any changes that could happen in the government's plan for the Public Transport Modernization Program?
27:54Or is this still going on as status quo?
27:57You're right Maris. The program is still going on. There will be no stopping the program.
28:04But we will continue to talk to further improve the program. That's very clear.
28:10All right. Thank you very much, Transportation Undersecretary Andy Ortega for your time. Good morning to you.
28:20It's difficult to commute some LRT-2 vehicles this morning.
28:24Most of them have just learned that the operation of LRT-2 is limited.
28:29We have live news.
28:34Bea.
28:36Egan, perwisyo sa biyahe. Yan ang ininulot sa ilang mga commuter na hindi agad nalaman na limitado lang ang operasyon ng LRT-2 kaninang umaga.
28:51Muntik daw malate sa school sina David at Mark ngayong araw.
28:54Kwento nila, huli na ng malaman nila na limitado lang pala ang operasyon ng LRT-2 ngayong umaga.
29:00Noong nasa jeep na po kami, then nakita po namin sa Katipunan wala po kami. Malilite din po kami sa school.
29:06Dawd po kasi maaka ko sa school ngayon. Ngayon po, malilite ako siguro.
29:12Maaantala ang biyahe ngayon ng LRT-2 dahil sa patuloy na pagkukumpuni ng nasirang catenary wire sa pagitan ng Katipunan at Santolan Station.
29:21Ayon sa LRTA, ang mga biyahe lang ng tren ay mula Recto Station hanggang Araneta Center Cubao at pabalik.
29:29Si Federico naman galing pang Tarlac at nang nakapila na siya sa Araneta Cubao Station, sakalang niya nalaman na limitado lang pala ang biyahe ng LRT-2.
29:46Ang biyahe niya mula rito ngayon na karaniwan ay tumatagal lang ng 15 minutes, aabutin na raw ng 45 minutes ngayon dahil dito.
29:55Walang nakapaskil na sign sa entrada ng Araneta Cubao Station sa ngayon.
29:59Kaya todo paalala ang mga gwardiya sa pila ng mga commuter na Cubao Recto at pabalik lang muna ang biyahe ng LRT-2.
30:07Dahil sa limitadong operasyon ng LRT-2, paahirapan din ang pagsakay ng maraming pasahero sa Marcos Highway sa Antipolo City kaninang madaling araw.
30:16Igan sa ngayon, mas umikli na yung fila ng mga commuter dito sa Araneta Center Cubao Station kumpara kaninang madaling araw.
30:28Samantala, mag-aalas 7 ng umaga, inanunsyo ng LRTA na back to full line operations na sa LRT-2 matapos nga isagawa ang kanilang repair.
30:39At yan ang unang balita mula rito sa Quezon City, Bea Pinlac para sa GMA Integrated News.
