Transcript

00:00Live from the GMA Network Center, this is 24 Horas.

00:12Good evening, Luzon Visayas and Mindanao.

00:18President Bongbong Marcos delivered support to the recommendation to declare a food security emergency on rice.

00:27The government has already done all it can to control the price of rice.

00:31And if this is implemented, the National Food Authority will be able to export thousands of bags of rice to the market to lower the price.

00:40This is Bernadette Reyes.

00:46President Bongbong Marcos himself said that everything has been done to lower the price of rice, but this is still not happening.

00:53That is why the President has already delivered support to the recommendation to declare the Department of Agriculture a food security emergency on rice.

01:03Well, we are still waiting for the recommendation of the Price Coordinating Council.

01:08But maybe next week, the DA will formally accept the recommendation.

01:15And the recommendation, I believe, is going to be to declare an emergency.

01:20If a food security emergency is declared, the National Food Authority will be able to export the buffer stock of rice to the market.

01:30If this happens, the price of rice will be lowered.

01:34The reason that we are doing this is we have already done everything to lower the price of rice, but the market is not being allowed to work properly.

01:45The demand and supply curve is not being followed because until now, even if you lower all the inputs, the sales are still high.

01:55And so we have to force that price down and we have to make sure that the market works properly.

02:01According to the NFA, around 700,000 bags of rice are in their warehouse right now.

02:07In addition, the impacted rice is not yet growing.

02:11If we follow the Food Blast method and we heal all of that, the whole country will have around 5.7 million bags.

02:22Now, for calamities, we know that we will not be able to get rid of it.

02:29We will calculate how much we will export. We will not export all of it.

02:35Our Kadiwa kiosks are already there.

02:38That is one of the plans. All of the former retailers of the NFA, the former latest accredited retailers, they will be the first to be affected.

02:50If ever it will be lowered.

02:52Another program of the Department of Agriculture will continue to have rice.

02:58Here in Murphy Market in Cabao, Quezon City, rice for all has been lowered to Php 38 per kilo since today.

03:05This is what the rice looks like up close.

03:08If we call this rice 25%, it means that 25% of the bottles are broken.

03:14Aside from that, they are also selling here in this place worth of rice.

03:18This is the 100% broken rice.

03:21For us, it's hard. It's good for us on budget.

03:27In Pasay City Public Market, Php 38 per kilo of rice will also arrive today.

03:32It's good. It's expensive. And it's cheap.

03:35This is our bestseller here.

03:38The Department of Agriculture also assured that the supply of cheap rice is sufficient.

03:42For GMA Integrated News, Bernadette Reyes, 24 Hours.

03:49Because of the cheapness, vulgarity, and the order to kill,

03:55some members of the EJK Victims and Human Rights Group were brought to court

04:01for defamation as a lawyer to former President Rodrigo Duterte.

04:07Maki Pulido was convicted.

04:09News, video clips, social media posts, and testimonies of former President Rodrigo Duterte in the Quadcom.

04:18I said that to the police.

04:21F**k you, police.

04:24If you go into drugs, you will be the first.

04:28Some were in the evidence of the group that filed a disbarment case against the former President.

04:33A petition was filed in the office of the bar confidant of the Supreme Court

04:36of the members of the EJK Victims and Human Rights Defenders this morning.

04:42They also asked that while the Supreme Court is deciding the disbarment case,

04:46the former President's license be suspended.

04:49They were triggered when the former President said that he will be the lawyer of the son of Vice President Sara

04:54in case there will be an impeachment trial.

04:56The whole community witnessed here.

04:58We saw how they were humiliated.

05:00We saw how the women were humiliated.

05:03How the process was short-cut.

05:05How the process was ignored.

05:07How this person died.

05:09And he has no right to be a lawyer in our country.

05:14Duterte denies his profession as a lawyer.

05:18We are listening to the reaction of the former President.

05:21But according to his former presidential spokesperson, Atty. Salvador Panelo,

05:25he still doesn't know the basis of the disbarment case.

05:28I don't know what will be the decision.

05:31The agency will investigate the disbarment.

05:34We'll leave it to them.

05:35For GMA Integrated News, Mackie Pulido was arrested for 24 hours.

05:40Even the LRT line is now connected to the jumper.

05:44This was seen in the operation where 100 kilos of illegal cables were confiscated

05:50from 50 houses and stores.

05:52Jonathan Andal was arrested.

05:56The people of Miralco were able to escape.

06:00They were allowed to enter this corner in Barangay 145 in Pasay.

06:04But when they arrived, the cables with the jumper or the illegal cables that are connected to the Miralco line were taken away.

06:12They were cut off, sir.

06:15What happened, sir?

06:16They were cut off.

06:17They were pulled, sir.

06:18I saw them being pulled.

06:20But some illegal cables were still left.

06:23Like this one that was traced in a hole inside the house.

06:27There was also one that was attached to a post,

06:29there was one that was attached to a roof,

06:31there was one that was attached to the corners,

06:33and there was one that was attached to the bottom of the cement and soil.

06:38If you will follow, you will pass through this road.

06:42You will go here to the other house.

06:45Then they let one of the hosts pass through.

06:47There.

06:48It will go to the other houses.

06:51Even the power line of LRT in Baclaran Station was also attached by those who were stealing electricity.

06:58It was covered with tape earlier.

07:00There were tapping points on the load side of LRT's metro.

07:04At the same time, they said that they were the ones who were being harassed by the illegal people.

07:10LRT's complaint is the reason why Meralco operated earlier in Barangay Baclaran in Paranaque

07:16and also in Barangay 145 in Pasay,

07:18where houses were burned last Friday.

07:21Father Rolando, whose name was also confirmed, was only forced to use a jumper

07:26because Meralco was not yet returning the supply of electricity to their house after the fire.

07:31He also said that his house was also bedridden.

07:33We know that it was wrong.

07:35Only now, we were really forced.

07:38Because my neighbor was screaming that her house was really hot.

07:43That's what we're asking now.

07:45When will we get our electricity back?

07:47For their electricity, we will force them to return their service.

07:51We will attach the meter.

07:53Alias Tekla admitted that he was wearing a jumper for more than a decade because his budget was running out.

07:59I know that it was wrong.

08:01You were forced because it was hard to earn money.

08:06That's why anyone was forced.

08:09In Meralco, they only pay the bill deposit.

08:13That's around P1,580.

08:16Including the contractor there.

08:17Because, sir, the meter is not paid.

08:19Let's say they have debts in Meralco.

08:22We can offer an installment.

08:24Legal is cheaper than illegal.

08:27Meralco said to complain if they see someone wearing a jumper.

08:30Because the consumption of these in electricity will be passed on to illegal customers.

08:35That can be seen in your electric bill under the system laws.

08:39Just so we can lower the system laws,

08:42I hope they will be encouraged not to be illegal and to complain to the illegal.

08:48If there are people who are illegal, we will help them apply.

08:54After the operation, Meralco confiscated 100 kilos of illegal cables from 40 houses and 10 stores.

09:03If there is an additional or overloading, it can be the cause of a fire.

09:08The income of the jumper is possible to be paid under the Anti-Pelferage Law

09:13which has a fine of up to P20,000 or a prison term of up to 12 years.

09:19For GMA Integrated News, Jonathan Andal reporting for 24 Hours.

09:25U.S. Secretary of State nominee Marco Rubio has a heavy message in China.

09:30Stop the chaos in Taiwan and the Philippines.

09:33As Rubio predicted,

09:35the monster ship of China will remain in the Exclusive Economic Zone of the Philippines.

09:40J.P. Soriano is on the scene.

09:46The Philippine Coast Guard has been monitoring the monster ship of China Coast Guard for almost two weeks.

09:52Yesterday, BRP Gabriela Silang once again broadcasted this.

09:55China Coast Guard Vessel 5901, this is Philippine Coast Guard Vessel BRP Gabriela Silang.

10:04You do not possess any legal authority to patrol inside the Philippines Exclusive Economic Zone.

10:12You are directed to depart immediately and notify us of your intention.

10:17China Coast Guard responded.

10:20This is China Coast Guard Vessel 5901.

10:25I'm performing law enforcement duties on the jurisdictional waters of the People's Republic of China.

10:32In the middle of what China Coast Guard is doing to patrol inside the Philippines Exclusive Economic Zone,

10:41words were used against China by the upcoming US Secretary of State, Senator Mark Rubio.

10:50In his confirmation hearing in the US Senate, Rubio called China's actions harassment.

10:57There's this massive, I don't even know how to describe it, but this massive ship that the Chinese have built

11:01that's like headed towards the Philippines and the Philippines feels threatened by it, rightfully so.

11:05We've seen this on a daily basis with the harassment and so forth, but on a daily basis.

11:13The actions they are taking now are deeply destabilizing.

11:15They are forcing us to take counteractions because we have commitments to the Philippines

11:19and we have commitments to Taiwan that we intend to keep.

11:23They really need to stop messing around with Taiwan and with the Philippines

11:26because it's forcing us to focus our attention in ways we prefer not to have to.

11:32Rubio is one of the strong supporters of the Mutual Defense Treaty, or MDT, of the United States and the Philippines.

11:40The Leeds PRC is the most potent and dangerous near-peer adversary this nation has ever confronted.

11:48They have elements that the Soviet Union never possessed.

11:50They lied about not militarizing and populating island chains in the South China Sea and the like.

11:55Meanwhile, some Philippine Navy ships were conducting unilateral exercises

12:00in the Bajo de Masinlo area today.

12:05The Navy is far from being used for modern purposes.

12:10These include the ships of BRP Antonio Luna

12:13and the Del Pilar-class patrol vessels of BRP Ramon Alcaraz and BRP Andres Bonifacio.

12:20For GMA Integrated News, J.P. Soriano.

12:24The case is closed for 24 hours.

12:27The Americans are directly imprisoned.

12:30They are asking for a visa extension to the Bureau of Immigration.

12:33But it turns out to be a fake one.

12:35And the case is being investigated.

12:39Arresting him is a violation of John Consulta's orders.

12:47The Americans are asking for a visa extension to the Bureau of Immigration.

12:52But upon entering this room,

12:55he was already ordered by the Bureau of Immigration's Fugitive Search Unit.

13:00We're agents from the Bureau of Immigration's Fugitive Search Unit.

13:04We were sent by the Commissioner of Immigration.

13:08And we are here regarding your case in the U.S.

13:14According to the FBI,

13:15the fugitive American went to the Philippines

13:18to avoid his sexual assault case in the U.S.

13:22He said he worked as a masseur in the U.S.

13:27and he abused or molested his client.

13:32The U.S. Embassy itself gave the information

13:34to catch their accomplice,

13:36who has a warrant since July 2024,

13:39in addition to his sexual assault.

13:41The client is being serviced.

13:43The FBI is now investigating if the fugitive has a local case

13:46before he is deported back to the U.S.

13:48We are still trying to get hold of his body

13:50while he was imprisoned in the FBI Retention Facility in Camp Bagong Diwa.

13:54For JMA Independent News, I'm John Consulta.

13:58The case is closed for 24 hours.

14:01The President of the Philippines is not happy with the 2025 budget,

14:05so he is looking for funds from President Bongbong Marcos

14:08for some programs of his administration.

14:11The President also insisted that this is not the right time

14:14to talk about the impeachment against the Vice President.

14:18I'm talking to Ivan Mayrina.

14:21Every day, President Bongbong Marcos is helping

14:23different departments.

14:25They are discussing where to get the necessary funds

14:28for the priority of the project this year.

14:30The President admitted that he is not happy with the 2025 budget of the Congress

14:35because of the transfer of funds to the Bicameral Conference Committee.

14:39The budget, as was passed, you could describe it as suboptimal.

14:44But we are remedying that situation.

14:46Let me put it simply.

14:48What we are doing is,

14:50those who were not included in NEP,

14:53the National Expenditure Program,

14:56those who were not given funds,

14:59we are looking for savings

15:01so that those funds can be reimbursed.

15:04This is despite the fact that Navito has an insertion value of almost Php 200 billion,

15:07or those who were excluded from the budget,

15:10or the President was not satisfied.

15:12Some of the funds that the President is looking for for dams,

15:15which are important for irrigation and flood control,

15:17the funds for the education project,

15:19and the funds for the development of tourism in the country,

15:22Legacy projects, or projects that have a direct effect on Filipinos,

15:26are the ones he wants to prioritize,

15:28especially this year when he is almost halfway through his six-year term.

15:32The President said that in the ceremonial turnover of more than 3,000 housing units

15:36for the victims of the Super Typhoon Yolanda,

15:39and not like the previous housing projects

15:42that were neglected and not benefited,

15:44they have already secured these.

15:46They have water and electricity, public transportation,

15:49and are close to the livelihoods of the residents,

15:51so that they can surely live.

15:53According to the Department of Human Settlements and Urban Development,

15:5788 out of 188 housing projects have been completed,

16:01or a total of 58,000 housing units in Region 8,

16:0445,000 are already living there.

16:06As for the high-impeachment complaints against Vice President Sara Duterte,

16:11the President agreed to the opinion of his Presidential Legal Counsel,

16:14Juan Ponce Enrile,

16:15that there will be a bad President

16:17if he will follow the thoughts of one of the members of the Church Of Christ

16:21on Monday,

16:22against the impeachment of Vice President,

16:24but the President still insisted that this is not the right time to do this.

16:48As a practical matter, we are about to enter the campaign period.

16:53There are no more congressmen, there are no more senators,

16:56because they are already campaigning.

16:57From Borawen, Leyte, Ivan Mayrena is on the air.

17:0024 Hours.

17:03Comelex has already moved their warehouse in Laguna,

17:05the first 6 million balotas that were printed,

17:08and it needs to be re-printed in accordance with the orders of the Supreme Court.

17:12It will be re-recycled so that it can be used again.

17:15Sandra Ginaldo is on the air.

17:20As a preparation for the printing of new balotas for the May 12 elections,

17:25Comelex assured that the 4 printers of the National Printing Office

17:30will run smoothly and that they will also use it to speed up the printing.

17:34These are the balotas with the names of the 5 aspirants

17:38who received a temporary restraining order from the Supreme Court

17:42after they were declared nuisance, disqualified,

17:45or the Certificate of Candidacy was cancelled.

17:48As for the 6 million balotas that will not be used because the names of the 5 aspirants are not there,

17:53Comelex started moving them to the Santa Rosa, Laguna warehouse.

17:57This is where it will be prepared for the process of paper melting

18:03so that it can be re-recycled and used again.

18:07Comelex explained that because the balotas are a public record,

18:10they must follow the regulations of the National Archives of the Philippines.

18:15That is where the recommendation of the Comelex Disposal Committee was based

18:19to recycle the paper from the balotas that will be destroyed.

18:22We were informed that the previous process of micro-shredding will not be carried out anymore.

18:28So what we will do to all the papers, all the balotas that will be dispatched,

18:32it will be directly melted in a solution, it will be directly recycled.

18:36It's just paper, it already broke down, all the features are gone, it's already melted.

18:42Comelex also said that their production of new balotas will not continue on Monday or Tuesday

18:48because the change in the election management system will take a longer time.

18:54Comelex's EMS has no ad feature.

18:58It means that even if we want to add, we cannot just add names.

19:05The name that the Supreme Court of Lima is adding,

19:08one senatorial, four local candidates,

19:10we need to first change the election management system,

19:14add an ad feature before we can add a name.

19:19For GMA Integrated News, Sandra Aguinaldo reporting for 24 Hours.

19:28Happy Friday, Chikehan mga Kapuso!

19:30Tonight is the deadly finale of Widow's War,

19:33which is still full of explosions and surprises.

19:36And together with the Kapuso,

19:38some of the lead cast who are currently in Cebu are also accompanied for the Sinulog Festival.

19:43Bea Pinlac has a report.

19:49You are left with the secrets revealed by the top-rating GMA Murder Mystery Drama,

19:54Widow's War sa Mga Kapuso Gabi-Gabi.

19:57And for the long-awaited ending of the story in Palacios Mansion later...

20:02They will still be surprised,

20:04but there will be an explosion at the end,

20:07even though I was a bit crazy at the ending,

20:12but it's beautiful, it's really beautiful.

20:16There is another explosion tonight that they should be waiting for.

20:20This time, I'm sure they didn't see this coming.

20:23The cast was shocked that even they were surprised by the explosion of Jericho,

20:28which was accompanied by Royce Cabrera.

20:30The mastermind of the death that took place in Palacios Mansion...

20:33This is not what I wanted to end the Palacios.

20:36Especially that they had their own guess back then,

20:38who the real killer was.

20:40My first guess was Ma'am Ruth, played by Ms. Jackalio Blanco.

20:45But I was wrong, it was me.

20:47Then when it was revealed to me that I was the mastermind,

20:49so there, I'm happy, grateful,

20:53and then I made the rest of the episodes better.

20:57I had an inkling, I had a feeling about him.

21:00So I had a feeling that I told Jericho all this time.

21:05It's hard for them now to say goodbye to Widow's War,

21:08especially Tuto.

21:09They grew up and fell in love with each other.

21:12I've gotten close to the cast members, to the staff,

21:16because we did it for a long time.

21:18So I think that's what I'll miss the most,

21:22and that's what left a mark in my heart.

21:26And the good company of the Widow's War cast proved

21:29their successful back-to-back mall shows in Cebu earlier

21:32for Sinulog 2025.

21:36Aside from the stars of Widow's War,

21:38the stars of our favorite GMA shows will also celebrate Sinulog.

21:43The performances of the cast of Mga Batang Rilis are looking forward to it,

21:47they will be the heroes of the city,

21:49and they will be coming together in different malls in Cebu

21:52in the coming days.
