00:00Nightly greetings one and all. William Theo here, homegrown and happy to bring you PTV News Now.
00:06Starting off our stories for tonight.
00:09Yesterday he was in Nueva Ecia handing out farm machinery and a set of rolling soil laboratories to farmers off the province
00:17and engaging them in an ad hoc sit-down chat to listen to their concerns.
00:22Make no mistake, the president is out to lift the lives of those who put food on our meal tables.
00:28But they, the nation's farmers and fisherfolk, are not the only ones.
00:33Like a good shepherd, the president has the welfare, safety and well-being of each and every one in the flock in heart and mind.
00:41Among them, the hard-working and under-compensated daily wage earners to whom he had no second thoughts,
00:48granting them the largest hike or raise in their daily take-home pay to the tune of 50 pesos.
00:53The 50 peso wage hike is the highest ever granted by the Regional Tripartite Wages and Productivity Board
01:01in the history of the NCR, raising the current rate of 645 pesos a day to a shade under 700 or 695 pesos each working day.
01:12This latest wage hike is expected to benefit at least 1.2 million workers in the non-agricultural sector.
01:19In the NCR, the Department of Labor and Employment chined in earlier today.
01:24Effectivity date of the updated minimum wage of the NCR is on the 18th of July.
01:31Meanwhile, first responders are being provided the eyes and ears they need in perilous situations
01:37and hazardous environments by a Seattle startup and drone-making company.
01:42VOA's Natasha Mozgovaya tells us more.
01:45This drone can break a window to fly inside a building in hazardous conditions,
01:52navigate and create a 3D map of the environment without use of GPS,
01:56and establish two-way communications with survivors of a natural disaster or attackers in the case of a hostage crisis.
02:04If it falls on the ground upside down, it can turtle, flip upright and launch itself up in the air.
02:10A Seattle startup is aiming to provide drones for first responders.
02:13The company has already deployed its Lemur-2 model drone with several law enforcement agencies in the U.S.
02:20Long term, we're really interested in this idea of making the police helicopter obsolete
02:24and using drones to respond to all 911 calls in seconds.
02:29Use drones to deliver Narcan, ADs, EpiPens,
02:33give firefighters a live thermal imaging view of a structure fire before they even arrive on scene.
02:40Like, tell police if what that person is holding is a lighter or a gun before they show up.
02:45Development, prototyping and manufacturing of the drones all take place in the same building in Seattle.
02:51The company doesn't have the luxury of procuring cheap components from other countries.
02:55The entire global supply chain for drone components is really based out of a single city, which is Shenzhen, China.
03:04We're NDA compliant, which means that we don't utilize any electronics, any silicon from China, Russia, Iran, other countries on an entity list.
03:13We've had to sort of build a domestic supply chain for all of the componentry inside of this bird.
03:19Brings drones started as indoor devices, but the company enhanced their outdoor capabilities
03:25after the drones were used for reconnaissance and rescue missions in Ukraine and after the 2023 earthquake in Turkey.
03:33Natasha Mozgovaya, VOA News, Seattle, Washington.
03:39And right now, let's turn to my colleague in PTV's Baguio City Studios for what's cooking of late in the Cordilleras.
03:46Breves?
04:16It only reminds us that we, public servants, especially many of you who are actually in the uniform service
04:36at ating mga volunteers are actually always at the front line of any disaster.
04:43We cannot be complacent this time because of climate change.
04:48We expect na talagang there will be a dramatic change in the weather pattern and that will also spell more disaster.
04:57This night, musi.
