00:00A mirthful Monday afternoon to all. Yours truly, Denise Osorio here, and this is PTV News Now.

00:08Let's kick off the show with what people are talking about.

00:12Sitting Ombudsman Samuel Martírez is set to step down from his post in August, or less than seven weeks away.

00:19And the President, the appointing official to the post, will have no trouble looking for a suitable and competent successor.

00:26Justice Secretary Jesus Crispin Remulia has made no pretenses.

00:30He wants the job and is supremely confident his resume or body of work in government will suffice for the tasks and duties the position demands.

00:39Where now he presides over the government's chief point person chasing bad actors engaged in a wide array of felonies against the state,

00:47his change of heart has prompted him to limit the scope of serving justice to running exclusively after corrupt people in the bureaucracy.

00:54Even better, Remulia has the inner lane in the race to replace Martírez, if there ever is one.

01:01He claims having talked to the President of his intent and plans to inform the Judicial Bar Council,

01:06the body tasked to screen aspirants and candidates to the post well before Martírez calls it a career.

01:13The Judicial Bar Council will formally announce the post officially up for grabs soon, signifying the start of the selection process.

01:19Government has been relentless in seeking ways and means to raise farmers' crop yields and help them earn a better keep.

01:30Earlier today, the President took his team to Science City in Muñoz, Nueva Ecija to preside over the distribution of 16 mobile soil laboratories,

01:39hand out the awards in the 50th Gawad Saka Ceremonies, and engage the farmers in attendance in an ad hoc Q&A.

01:46The Mobile Soil Laboratory is a customized 10-wheeler rig equipped with top-notch soil sampling capabilities

01:53that tests the fertility of a soil sample to include its water chemical parameters.

01:59The first units were unveiled in the first weekend of December last year and has been deployed to Tarlac and Nueva Ecija,

02:06where it has tested some 1,500 soil samples equal to 3 million square meters of land.

02:11After handing out the awards to recipients of the 50th Gawad Saka presentation,

02:17the President yielded or fielded a number of their questions and vowed to improve government services in responding to their needs,

02:25especially in times of natural disasters.

02:28The 16 mobile soil laboratories are to be distributed to each region as part of the Department of Agriculture's 127th Anniversary,

02:35and the Bureau of Soils and Water Management, 74th Founding.

02:41After securing a huge and historic win over the weekend in which the Supreme Court sided with him

02:48to sidestep the federal courts imposing to block his executive orders on certain immigration orders,

02:55President Donald Trump is on a full court to press or to shepherd or even bum rush,

03:00his controversial spending bill marked by massive cuts to existing social welfare programs to ratification by the 4th of July.

03:08Dubbed the big, beautiful bill, the Senate on Saturday narrowly decided to take it on the debate floor

03:15in a move to push it forward in the legislative process and hopefully approve it by the middle of the week

03:21for inking into law by the 4th of July.

03:24But the debate is expected to be fierce, especially with a few GOP holdouts,

03:29who could join Senators Tom Tillis of North Carolina and Rand Paul of Kentucky and all Democrats in voting down the bill.

03:36The bill's most salient and contentious feature, a $4.5 trillion in tax cuts,

03:43which would be offset by a huge cut in Medicaid,

03:46in which millions of poor and indigents will lose their health care benefit.

03:50And with that, we come to the end of the show.

03:55Join us later on for our next set of breaking stories in our evening edition.

04:00Always make us your habit for stories you can count on, news you can trust.
