If you do follow the health protocols,
03:02.4
the ability of people to move around
03:03.9
will likely contribute better to growth.

Because of limited mobility,
05:01.5
people are also not being able to go
05:03.5
to physical branches, etc.
05:05.4
It further accelerated
05:06.7
the adoption of consumers
05:09.1
of digital channels.
05:12.2
We are now being able
05:14.1
to provide the services
05:16.3
needed by our citizens,
05:18.4
by our consumers.

Mobility will be key to recovery
06:35.6
because we have relaxed
06:37.7
some of our quarantine methods
06:39.9
and we have allowed more.
06:42.3
Remember the journey
06:43.0
of our young democracy.
06:45.0
In ANC, we were witnesses
06:46.3
to the defining moments
06:47.7
of Philippine history
06:49.3
that influenced the world.
06:51.6
Thank you for watching!
07:00.0
This is the Philippines.
07:07.8
And we are ANC.
07:28.9
President Marcos,
07:30.0
calls on Filipinos
07:30.9
to stand their ground
07:31.9
amid threats
07:32.6
to the country's sovereignty.
07:35.2
An employer's group
07:36.0
points to the Labor Department
07:37.4
as the one responsible
07:38.4
for imposing so-called
07:39.7
heatbreaks to workers.
07:42.0
Later on in the program,
07:43.5
we'll speak with
07:44.1
Engineer Patrick Dizon
07:45.4
of the MWSS Water
07:47.4
and Sewerage Management
07:48.4
on the water supply situation
07:50.4
here in Metro Manila.
07:52.9
And Europe's Climate Change
07:54.5
Monitoring Agency
07:55.4
says March is the warmest month
07:57.2
on record across the world.
08:00.0
I'm Stanley Palisada.
08:02.5
Dateline Philippines
08:03.2
begins right now.
08:04.5
For those of you watching us
08:05.7
on YouTube and Facebook,
08:07.2
nice to have you with us.
08:08.5
Topping the midday news,
08:10.0
President Ferdinand Marcos Jr.
08:11.7
leads the commemoration
08:12.7
of the Day of Valor in Bataan.
08:15.5
During his speech,
08:16.3
he urged Filipinos
08:17.2
to be brave and resilient
08:18.6
amid threats
08:20.0
to the country's sovereignty.
08:22.0
Marcos' statement
08:22.7
comes amid China's
08:23.9
latest act of aggression
08:25.4
on Philippine waters.
08:29.0
Some participants
08:30.0
tend clear and present threats
08:31.5
to our sovereign rights
08:32.6
and in fact have already
08:34.0
caused physical harm
08:35.8
to our people.
08:37.4
Ang mga ito
08:38.1
ay hindi katanggap-tanggap.
08:40.5
Hindi makatwiran
08:41.6
o makatarungan.
08:43.1
Tulad ng pinamalas
08:44.3
ng ating mga dakilang ninuno,
08:46.6
hindi tayo dapat magpasupil
08:48.4
at magpaapi,
08:50.0
lalo na sa loob
08:51.0
ng ating sariling bakuran.
08:53.1
Ours is a complicated world today,
08:55.8
but we must not yield.
08:57.4
We must not back down
08:58.7
from any and all
08:59.8
challenges that seek
09:00.9
to threaten our peace,
09:02.5
our honor,
09:03.5
our very existence.
09:06.0
In his speech,
09:07.2
the President also ordered
09:08.4
a review of benefits
09:09.9
for disabled soldiers
09:11.1
as a way to honor
09:12.4
their heroism.
09:15.2
After leading the Araw
09:16.5
ng Kagitingan Rites,
09:17.7
President Marcos proceeded
09:18.8
to Balanga
09:19.8
to witness the ceremonial
09:21.3
turnover of housing projects.
09:23.3
Vivian Gulia joins us now
09:24.5
with details.
09:25.3
Go ahead, Viv.
09:27.1
Hi, Stanley.
09:28.3
More than 200 informal
09:29.6
settler families
09:30.6
near the Talisay River
09:31.7
will be relocated
09:32.9
to a housing project
09:34.2
of the National Housing Authority
09:36.2
in Balanga, Bataan.
09:38.1
President Ferdinand Marcos Jr.
09:39.7
led the turnover
09:40.5
of 216 units on Tuesday.
09:44.3
In his speech,
09:45.2
the President said
09:45.9
he recognizes the dangers
09:47.3
of living by the river
09:48.6
and stressed the importance
09:50.1
of having safe,
09:51.5
comfortable,
09:52.3
and quality housing units
09:53.7
for Filipinos.
09:55.0
He reminded beneficiaries
09:56.1
to care for their respective units
09:58.5
and contribute to the
09:59.6
progress of their community.
10:01.9
Each housing unit
10:02.6
under the NHA Balanga City
10:04.3
Low-Rise Housing Project
10:05.7
has a size of 27 square meters,
10:08.6
two bedrooms,
10:09.5
kitchen,
10:10.1
toilet and bath,
10:11.2
as well as fully operational
10:12.4
water and power supply.
10:14.3
The six-building
10:15.1
condominium-type housing project
10:16.7
is part of the
10:17.4
NHA Balanga City
10:18.5
Low-Rise Housing Project
10:20.1
that also features
10:21.2
basic facilities
10:22.4
including four-story
10:24.0
school buildings,
10:25.3
the 20 classrooms,
10:26.5
a multi-purpose building,
10:28.1
and a covered
10:28.7
basketball court.
10:29.6
A community center building
10:31.2
is also built
10:32.0
inside the project compound
10:33.5
which houses
10:34.5
a health center,
10:36.2
a daycare center,
10:37.4
and a barangay learning hub.
10:39.8
National Housing Authority
10:40.7
General Manager
10:41.6
Joe Bentay said
10:42.6
beneficiaries for the
10:44.1
NHA Balanga City
10:45.4
Low-Rise Housing Project
10:46.7
leave the units
10:48.0
for 800 pesos per month
10:50.0
and will have the option
10:51.4
to rent to own
10:52.6
after five years.
10:54.2
The NHA targets
10:55.3
to complete
10:56.0
the housing project
10:57.4
for 1.3 million
10:58.8
informal sector units
10:59.6
or families
11:00.2
and four of the
11:01.2
four Filipinos
11:02.0
before President
11:03.0
Marcus Jr.'s term
11:04.2
ends in 2028.
11:07.2
SAI said that so far
11:08.6
they have completed
11:09.6
housing projects
11:10.6
for 300,000 families
11:12.7
but several projects
11:13.9
are still ongoing.
11:16.0
Department of Human Settlements
11:17.3
and Urban Development
11:18.1
Secretary Jerry Acosar
11:19.9
meanwhile encourages
11:20.8
contractors
11:21.4
for the government's
11:22.7
housing projects
11:23.4
to allow heat breaks
11:24.6
for construction workers
11:26.0
during extreme temperatures
11:27.7
this dry season.
11:29.6
That's the latest from here.
11:30.8
Stanley, back to you.
11:31.8
Thank you so much, Viv.
11:33.9
Now prior to
11:34.9
President Marx's speech
11:36.2
in Bataan,
11:37.0
China took a swipe
11:38.2
at the upcoming
11:38.7
trilateral summit
11:39.8
of the US,
11:40.5
the Philippines,
11:41.0
and Japan.
11:42.1
Beijing's foreign ministry
11:43.2
says China is against
11:45.2
any circles
11:46.0
that threaten
11:47.1
regional peace
11:48.0
and stability.
11:49.3
It also slams
11:50.3
the US,
11:51.1
the UK,
11:51.6
and Australia
11:52.2
for expanding
11:53.1
its security partnership
11:54.2
claiming it is
11:55.7
intensifying
11:56.5
the arms race
11:57.4
in the Asia-Pacific region.
11:59.6
China's comments
12:00.2
also come on the heels
12:01.6
of the first maritime
12:02.9
cooperative activity
12:04.0
of the Philippines,
12:05.0
the US,
12:05.8
Japan,
12:06.7
and Australia.
12:09.4
We oppose
12:10.5
relevant countries
12:11.7
cobbling together
12:12.6
exclusionary small circles
12:14.4
and creating
12:15.3
block confrontations.
12:16.9
Japan in particular
12:18.0
should learn
12:19.0
from the lessons
12:19.6
of history
12:20.3
and be cautious
12:21.3
in its words and deeds
12:22.6
in the field
12:23.2
of military security.
12:24.6
Any cooperation
12:25.5
conducted by any countries
12:27.4
should be conducive
12:28.5
to regional peace,
12:29.6
peace,
12:30.2
and stability.
12:33.1
Beijing also singled out
12:34.8
Washington saying
12:35.8
it firmly opposes
12:36.8
America's attempt
12:37.6
to deploy
12:38.2
a medium-range
12:39.3
missile system
12:40.2
in the Asia-Pacific region.
12:44.0
We have no interest
12:45.2
in competing
12:45.8
with any country
12:46.8
on military power.
12:48.1
China firmly opposes
12:49.3
the US's practice
12:50.6
of deploying
12:51.3
medium-range missiles
12:52.7
in the Asia-Pacific region
12:54.4
and strengthening
12:55.6
forward deployments
12:56.8
at China's doorstep
12:58.1
to seek unilateral
12:59.4
military power.
12:59.6
We urge the United States
13:03.4
to earnestly respect
13:04.6
the security concerns
13:05.8
of other countries
13:07.0
and stop undermining
13:08.5
regional peace and stability.
13:13.9
Manila's ambassador
13:15.0
to Washington
13:15.7
refuting China's claims
13:17.3
regional peace and stability
13:18.6
would be threatened
13:19.4
by the upcoming
13:20.2
trilateral summit
13:21.2
at the White House.
13:22.6
Ambassador Jose Manuel Romualde
13:24.3
says the highly anticipated
13:25.9
summit is about boosting
13:27.4
the cooperation
13:28.6
among the US
13:29.6
the Philippines
13:30.5
and Japan
13:31.1
and it's not directed
13:32.9
at any other country.
13:35.5
The bottom line
13:36.7
is that we are getting together
13:38.5
with many of our friends
13:39.6
and allies
13:40.3
who believe in the same
13:42.0
rule of law.
13:44.1
It's very unfortunate
13:44.8
that China looks at this
13:46.0
that is directed
13:47.7
towards them.
13:49.1
We are really
13:49.8
the trilateral meeting
13:51.7
is mainly
13:52.6
a cooperation
13:53.7
of three countries
13:56.4
that believe
13:58.2
that it is in their interest
13:59.4
that we have
14:00.0
this very strong
14:01.0
cooperation
14:02.2
not necessarily
14:03.6
on defense alone
14:04.5
but again
14:05.1
the economic cooperation.
14:07.1
The United States
14:07.7
is an old ally
14:08.6
of the Philippines
14:09.3
and there's no question
14:10.9
about it.
14:11.5
I mean
14:11.7
nobody can question
14:13.3
the fact that we have been
14:14.7
with the United States
14:15.7
for a very long time.
14:19.0
Ambassador Romualde
14:20.7
says the Philippines
14:21.7
can no longer ignore
14:22.7
China's actions
14:23.5
saying the country's patience
14:24.9
has been stretched
14:25.9
to the limit.
14:29.4
What President Marcos
14:30.9
is doing is just simply
14:32.2
saying that enough is enough.
14:34.6
We are now going to
14:35.9
talk to you seriously.
14:37.9
We are not here
14:38.9
because we want
14:40.1
to have a conflict.
14:41.1
We're not here
14:41.8
because we just want to have
14:43.3
we're looking for a fight.
14:45.1
We are the ones
14:46.0
that are being
14:47.1
aggressively
14:48.1
bullied.
14:50.4
And so
14:50.8
what are we going to do?
14:52.6
The Filipino people
14:53.6
will not stand for that.
14:54.8
People who have
14:55.6
this wrong notion
14:56.8
that we'll just sit back
14:58.3
and nothing will happen.
14:59.4
We may wake up one day
15:01.7
and we won't have
15:02.4
a country anymore.
15:05.9
The Philippine Coast Guard
15:07.8
monitors an increase
15:08.8
in the presence
15:09.4
of Chinese ships
15:10.7
in Manila's waters
15:11.8
under the Marcos administration.
15:14.1
But Commodore Jay Tariella
15:15.6
believes China deploying
15:16.7
more ships
15:17.4
only means
15:18.2
they are forced
15:19.6
to flex their muscles more
15:21.3
to threaten the Philippines.
15:23.5
Tariella says
15:24.2
that strategy
15:24.9
is clearly not working
15:26.3
with the Philippines
15:27.4
bent on continuing
15:28.4
resupply missions
15:29.4
to the BRP Sierra Madre
15:31.2
in the face of
15:32.5
Chinese harassment.
15:35.6
Are there more vessels now
15:37.5
compared with the number
15:38.5
of vessels
15:39.1
that the Chinese vessels
15:40.3
that are deployed
15:41.6
in present to third
15:42.5
this time?
15:43.4
We can fairly say
15:44.8
there is an increase.
15:47.0
But again,
15:48.4
this is in relation
15:49.7
with our response
15:50.8
of transparency
15:51.6
telling the world
15:52.6
about their kind
15:53.7
of harassment.
15:54.8
But in general,
15:55.8
still,
15:57.1
you know,
15:57.4
the level of
15:58.5
provocation of China
16:00.3
remains to be the same.
16:03.2
Tariella also rejecting
16:04.5
criticisms
16:05.2
the transparency campaign
16:06.6
of the Philippines
16:07.3
is only provoking China.
16:10.9
Chinese trolls online
16:12.5
has always been blaming
16:14.0
this,
16:15.3
what they call
16:16.0
microphone diplomacy.
16:18.1
But as far as
16:18.7
the national government
16:19.5
is concerned,
16:20.4
this is not
16:20.8
a microphone diplomacy.
16:22.4
This is an information strategy
16:24.4
that we choose
16:25.6
to expose
16:26.5
the factual narrative
16:28.5
of what's happening.
16:29.5
It is.
16:30.3
The mere fact that
16:31.3
more countries now
16:32.6
are standing up
16:33.4
and supporting the Philippines
16:34.6
and more Filipino people
16:36.2
are also supportive
16:37.2
of our approach,
16:38.5
that's a very objective
16:39.7
of this strategy.
16:41.0
Not to provoke any...
16:42.4
Vice President Sara Duterte
16:47.2
downplaying a recent poll
16:48.6
which placed her
16:49.8
as frontrunner
16:50.9
in the 2028
16:52.0
presidential elections.
16:54.1
The Pulse Asia survey
16:55.2
showed Duterte
16:56.0
in a statistical tie
16:57.1
with Senator Rafi Tulfo,
16:58.5
as the top choice
17:00.1
for president.
17:01.3
The vice president
17:02.1
had previously floated
17:03.2
the idea of running
17:04.2
in the 2025
17:05.1
midterm elections.
17:06.9
But she did not specify
17:08.3
what position
17:09.0
she would seek.
17:12.5
It's a long way
17:14.0
from 2028
17:16.2
for us to talk about
17:18.2
what we're doing
17:19.9
now.
17:20.8
What we need to do
17:21.8
is work
17:23.2
and contribute
17:24.9
to the nation.
17:26.2
Thank you.
17:28.5
March is the warmest
17:31.8
month on record
17:32.7
across the world.
17:34.0
The European Union's
17:35.0
Climate Change
17:35.8
Monitoring Agency said
17:37.1
the past 10 months
17:38.3
were the hottest
17:39.0
which every month
17:40.6
set a new temperature record.
17:43.3
The agency said
17:44.1
climate change-driven drought
17:45.6
in the Amazon region
17:46.8
unleashed a record number
17:48.1
of wildfires
17:48.9
in Venezuela
17:50.1
from January to March
17:51.8
while drought
17:53.1
in Southern Africa
17:54.1
has wiped out crops
17:55.3
and left millions
17:56.1
of people facing hunger.
17:57.5
Marine scientists
17:59.0
also warned
17:59.7
a mass coral bleaching event
18:01.3
is likely unfolding
18:02.6
in the Southern Hemisphere
18:04.6
that could be the worst
18:06.1
in the planet's history.
18:09.0
And when we see
18:10.6
these record-breaking temperatures,
18:13.7
so March was
18:15.0
0.73 degrees
18:17.0
above the 30-year average
18:19.0
and it was 0.1 degrees Celsius
18:21.7
above the previous
18:23.0
warmest March.
18:24.5
And so seeing records
18:25.6
like this
18:26.2
month in March
18:27.5
and month out
18:28.4
really shows us
18:29.8
that our climate
18:30.6
is changing,
18:31.8
is changing rapidly
18:32.7
and climate change
18:34.0
isn't a future problem.
18:35.3
It is a problem
18:36.2
that we have to face
18:37.3
here and now.
18:40.9
Now back here at home,
18:42.3
an employer's group
18:43.2
says the Labor Department
18:44.3
should be responsible
18:45.5
for imposing
18:46.3
heat breaks
18:47.1
to workers.
18:48.4
The remark
18:49.0
by the Employers Confederation
18:50.7
of the Philippines
18:51.4
comes after labor groups
18:52.6
urged firms
18:53.3
to provide workers
18:54.7
with such breaks
18:55.6
and come up
18:56.4
with an action plan.
18:57.5
To protect employees
18:58.8
from the extreme heat.
19:00.9
ECOP, however,
19:01.8
says that responsibility
19:02.9
ultimately falls
19:04.4
on the DOLE.
19:07.6
I just want to say
19:08.7
that they will pay
19:10.0
for what they are
19:11.5
under their conditions
19:12.7
and they are more concerned
19:15.2
about that.
19:15.6
Let's give credit
19:16.8
to our employers
19:18.0
so that they can
19:19.1
take their best assets.
19:22.2
They have legal
19:23.5
responsibilities
19:24.4
to their employers.
19:26.2
Remember that.
19:26.9
If something happens
19:28.3
that will not be good
19:29.3
because of the labor.
19:34.3
A massive fire
19:35.5
in Barangay Zambagdos
19:36.6
in Cebu City
19:37.3
displaces over
19:38.2
a hundred families.
19:39.3
Efforts to put out
19:40.1
the blaze hampered
19:41.0
by the city's
19:41.9
water crisis.
19:43.5
Annie Perez now joins us
19:44.6
with that story.
19:45.4
Annie, what happened?
19:47.4
Yes, Danny, that's right.
19:48.7
Barangay officials
19:49.4
of Zambagdos
19:50.4
in Cebu City
19:51.2
will convene
19:52.4
in an emergency
19:53.2
session
19:54.1
anytime today
19:55.1
to discuss
19:55.8
what happened yesterday.
19:56.9
And to declare
19:57.6
a state of calamity
19:59.0
overraised
19:59.7
Sitio Calubihan
20:01.3
yesterday.
20:02.3
The fire displaced
20:03.2
172 families
20:04.8
or more than
20:05.5
500 individuals.
20:07.4
The Bureau of Fire Protection
20:08.2
said more than
20:09.2
70 houses were raised.
20:10.9
The fire that broke out
20:11.9
yesterday
20:12.5
was raised
20:13.2
immediately
20:13.7
to the fourth alarm
20:14.7
since they were already
20:15.8
having difficulty
20:17.0
in putting out the fire.
20:18.7
BFP Cebu City
20:19.9
spokesperson
20:20.6
Senior Fire Officer
20:22.3
to Wendell Villanueva
20:23.8
said
20:24.2
their limitations
20:25.3
included the strong wind,
20:26.9
and low pressure
20:28.1
from water hydrants.
20:29.7
In fact,
20:30.2
some water tankers
20:31.2
took some time
20:32.0
to go back to the fire scene
20:33.4
due to this problem.
20:35.1
Cebu City is currently
20:36.1
in a water crisis
20:37.2
as we speak
20:38.1
due to the low water supply
20:39.8
as an effect
20:40.5
to the El Nino phenomenon.
20:42.5
The fire started
20:43.3
around 4 p.m.
20:44.4
and was put out
20:45.2
past 10 p.m.
20:46.2
give and take
20:46.7
that's about 6 to 7 hours.
20:48.5
That was needed
20:49.2
to declare
20:49.8
it as totally far out.
20:52.1
Residents are now
20:52.9
at the public schools
20:54.0
as their evacuation center.
20:56.0
Initial assistance
20:56.8
was already given out
20:58.0
by the local government unit
20:59.3
and the damage
21:00.3
of the incident
21:01.0
was pegged
21:01.7
at 7.5 million pesos.
21:04.4
For his part,
21:05.2
Cebu City Mayor
21:06.0
Michael Ramach said
21:07.1
they will give
21:07.9
financial assistance
21:08.8
to the fire victims
21:10.1
and start the re-blocking
21:11.8
as soon as possible
21:12.7
so that the affected residents
21:14.5
can go back
21:15.4
to build their homes
21:16.4
once again.
21:17.4
That's the latest here
21:18.3
from Cebu,
21:19.1
Annie Perez,
21:19.8
ABS-CBN News.
21:20.7
Alright, Annie,
21:21.6
very seldom that we hear
21:23.0
about a fire
21:24.1
and the water crisis
21:26.0
in fact,
21:26.5
affecting firefighting
21:28.1
capabilities.
21:29.6
And you've mentioned
21:30.3
there were other reasons
21:31.3
why it was difficult
21:32.5
for the firefighters
21:33.5
to put the blaze
21:34.9
under control.
21:35.8
But what is local government
21:37.0
doing now
21:37.9
with the reality
21:39.0
that, you know,
21:40.1
there is no water
21:41.3
to fight fires
21:42.2
and fires are pretty common
21:43.5
these months?
21:45.5
Yes, Stanley,
21:46.5
that's right.
21:47.7
But the local chief executive
21:49.9
Cebu City Mayor
21:50.7
Michael Ramach
21:51.4
has already tapped
21:52.3
on his task force
21:53.8
to address
21:54.7
the water crisis
21:55.7
over the last
21:56.5
weekend.
21:57.1
We saw some of his personnel
21:58.5
and the Cebu City's
21:59.8
Desiree's Reduction
22:00.6
Management Office
22:01.5
tapping on water sources
22:03.4
in the mountain barangays.
22:05.1
In fact,
22:05.5
they already set up
22:06.5
mobile siphons
22:08.2
to siphon out
22:09.2
these water sources
22:11.6
and process them
22:13.2
so that it can become
22:14.2
potable
22:14.7
and go to other
22:16.9
reserves
22:17.7
such as
22:18.2
fire hydrants
22:19.5
in the city.
22:20.7
We're not sure
22:21.6
if it would be enough
22:23.0
for the crisis
22:23.8
that the city
22:24.6
is going through
22:25.2
right now.
22:25.8
But as Mayor,
22:26.5
Mayor Ramach said
22:27.1
he needs to go
22:28.6
to a logical
22:29.5
approach
22:30.4
in addressing
22:30.9
this problem
22:31.6
and one of the
22:32.8
concrete steps
22:33.5
that he has already
22:34.2
taken
22:34.8
was to go to
22:36.1
the mountain barangays
22:37.3
and look for
22:38.0
other untapped forces.
22:39.7
They're also looking
22:40.4
into dredging
22:41.6
and drilling
22:42.3
deep wells
22:43.6
in these areas
22:44.5
that have not been
22:45.4
explored yet
22:46.0
by the water district
22:47.0
so that it could aid
22:48.0
in case another
22:49.1
incident like this
22:50.1
would happen
22:50.7
not just only
22:51.5
for the Bureau of Fire Protection
22:52.5
but even for the residents
22:53.8
who are reeling
22:54.5
in the effects
22:55.1
of the Ilneninyo phenomenon.
22:56.5
Here in the city.
22:58.3
Stanley.
22:58.7
Alright, Annie Perez
22:59.8
appreciate the update.
23:00.8
Thank you so much.
23:02.9
Still on the effects
23:04.0
of the dry season
23:05.1
and the Ilneninyo
23:05.9
weather phenomenon
23:06.6
the Metropolitan Water Works
23:08.2
and Sewerage System
23:09.1
or MWSS
23:10.3
has decreased
23:10.8
water pressure
23:11.6
for Metro Manila
23:13.0
due to the
23:13.7
continuous decline
23:14.7
in water levels
23:15.7
in key dams.
23:17.1
Now will this
23:17.5
eventually lead
23:18.3
to water rationing?
23:19.7
To answer that question
23:20.9
we're joined now
23:21.6
by Engineer Patrick Dizon.
23:23.0
He is the
23:23.5
Department Manager
23:24.3
of the MWSS
23:25.5
Water System
23:26.5
and Sewerage Management.
23:28.2
Engineer Dizon
23:29.2
thank you so much
23:30.2
for talking to
23:30.8
Dateline Philippines today.
23:33.6
Good afternoon Stanley
23:34.7
and to all of your viewers
23:35.8
thank you for inviting
23:36.8
the MWSS
23:37.6
to your program.
23:38.5
Alright, we're at
23:39.2
critical juncture
23:40.5
actually when it comes
23:41.5
to water supply
23:42.3
in Metro Manila
23:43.0
due to the absence
23:44.6
of significant rainfall.
23:46.6
Tell us a bit
23:47.0
about the situation
23:47.9
in dams right now.
23:51.2
Right now Stanley
23:52.3
the MWSS
23:53.3
are monitoring
23:53.9
three dams
23:54.6
which implies
23:55.3
the 90%
23:56.1
of the water
23:56.5
requirement
23:57.8
for the whole
23:58.3
Metro Manila
23:59.0
and the nearby
23:59.7
provinces
24:00.3
such as
24:01.4
Bulacan,
24:02.0
Rizal
24:02.3
and the portions
24:03.1
of Cavite
24:03.8
provinces.
24:04.6
So as of 12 noon
24:06.1
the Angat Dam
24:06.9
has an elevation
24:07.7
of 196.08 meters
24:10.0
and it is
24:11.7
continuously decreasing
24:12.9
at an average rate
24:14.1
of 30 centimeters
24:15.1
per day
24:15.8
while the Ipudang
24:17.4
which diverts
24:18.2
water from
24:19.0
that is being
24:20.3
discharged by
24:20.9
the Angat Dam
24:21.6
to the domestic
24:22.2
water supply
24:23.0
for the MWSS
24:24.7
has a reservoir
24:25.5
elevation of 90%
24:26.5
which is
24:27.5
99.77 meters.
24:28.5
And lastly
24:29.5
the Alamesa Dam
24:30.5
which is the
24:31.5
MWSS reserve dam
24:32.5
or reservoir
24:33.5
located in
24:34.5
Quezon City
24:35.5
maintains its
24:36.5
elevation of
24:37.5
75.8 meters.
24:38.5
As of now Stanley
24:39.5
to the three dams
24:40.5
that we are monitoring
24:41.5
we are still
24:42.5
on the
24:43.5
comfortable elevation.
24:44.5
Okay, comfortable
24:45.5
levels there.
24:46.5
But you know
24:47.5
Engineer Dizon
24:48.5
if this no rain
24:49.5
situation persists
24:50.5
when do you actually
24:51.5
foresee critical levels
24:52.5
reached
24:53.5
and when does
24:54.5
rationing start?
24:56.5
Actually Stanley
24:57.5
the El Nino Task Force
24:59.5
already declared
25:00.5
that there will be
25:01.5
no water crisis
25:02.5
for Metro Manila.
25:03.5
So considering
25:04.5
the elevation
25:05.5
of our main source
25:06.5
of water right now
25:07.5
which is the Angat Dam
25:08.5
its elevation
25:09.5
is still
25:10.5
16 meters
25:11.5
above the
25:12.5
minimum operating
25:13.5
level of
25:14.5
180 meters
25:15.5
and also
25:16.5
it is still
25:17.5
far from the
25:18.5
critical level
25:19.5
of 160 meters.
25:20.5
So considering
25:21.5
the mentioned
25:22.5
difference of
25:23.5
the elevation
25:24.5
to the critical level
25:25.5
we are still confident
25:27.5
to say
25:28.5
that we are not
25:29.5
going to experience
25:30.5
the water shortage
25:31.5
that we had experienced
25:32.5
in 2019
25:33.5
wherein people
25:34.5
are lining up
25:35.5
on the street
25:36.5
just to get water
25:37.5
from the water tanker.
25:38.5
So Stanley
25:39.5
I just want to
25:40.5
reiterate that
25:41.5
if we are not
25:42.5
conserve
25:43.5
water right now
25:44.5
and the decrease
25:45.5
of the elevation
25:46.5
will shoot up
25:47.5
the reservoir elevation
25:48.5
might hit
25:49.5
the minimum operating
25:50.5
level of 180 meters.
25:51.5
So we are
25:52.5
continuously encouraging
25:53.5
our public
25:54.5
to conserve
25:55.5
and practice
25:56.5
the wise use of water
25:57.5
so we have
25:58.5
a continuous flow
25:59.5
of water from our tap.
26:00.5
Yes jumping off
26:01.5
from what you said
26:02.5
Engineer Dizon
26:03.5
conservation of course
26:04.5
the measures
26:05.5
have been put in place
26:06.5
especially for government
26:07.5
offices
26:08.5
and institutions
26:09.5
and that's okay
26:10.5
but what about consumers?
26:11.5
For now it seems like
26:12.5
you know
26:13.5
conservation
26:14.5
is more of an appeal
26:15.5
which consumers
26:16.5
may or may not
26:17.5
adhere to.
26:18.5
What is
26:19.5
the next level
26:20.5
for this one?
26:21.5
Are you actually
26:22.5
going to compel?
26:23.5
Is there a way
26:24.5
to compel consumers
26:25.5
to save water?
26:26.5
Yeah actually
26:27.5
we are doing
26:28.5
some public
26:29.5
awareness
26:30.5
campaign
26:31.5
to our public
26:32.5
so we are
26:33.5
going to
26:34.5
we are doing
26:35.5
some house
26:36.5
to house
26:37.5
or even
26:38.5
in the barangay
26:39.5
level
26:40.5
we are teaching
26:41.5
our public
26:42.5
to conserve
26:43.5
water
26:44.5
so our water
26:45.5
resources
26:46.5
management
26:47.5
office
26:48.5
also posted
26:49.5
advisories
26:50.5
and bulletins
26:51.5
on how
26:52.5
to take
26:53.5
advantage
26:54.5
the consumers
26:55.5
to conserve
26:56.5
water
26:57.5
so it will help
26:58.5
Stanley to
26:59.5
conserve
27:00.5
water
27:01.5
because we don't
27:02.5
want also to
27:03.5
hit the minimum
27:04.5
operating level
27:05.5
and decrease
27:06.5
the level
27:07.5
of our reservoir
27:08.5
so if we hit
27:09.5
those elevations
27:10.5
we might have
27:11.5
uninterrupted
27:12.5
or
27:13.5
interruption
27:14.5
to our customers.
27:15.5
And for now
27:16.5
it's just reducing
27:17.5
or decreasing
27:18.5

what is your
27:20.5
timeline for this?
27:21.5
How long
27:22.5
are you going
27:23.5
to be
27:24.5
in the
27:25.5
water
27:26.5
system?
27:27.5
Well
27:28.5
based on our
27:29.5
projection
27:30.5
the elevation
27:31.5
if there's
27:32.5
no rain
27:33.5
for the next
27:34.5
few months
27:35.5
our elevation
27:36.5
will hit
27:37.5
the minimum
27:38.5
operating level
27:39.5
of 180 meters
27:40.5
so that's
27:41.5
on the end
27:42.5
of May
27:43.5
of this year
27:44.5
but
27:45.5
considering
27:46.5
the forecast
27:47.5
of Pag-ata
27:48.5
they said
27:49.5
that
27:50.5
there will be
27:51.5
rainfall
27:52.5
in our
27:53.5
watershed
27:54.5
by June
27:55.5
and July
27:56.5
so that's
27:57.5
the time
27:58.5
that we'll
27:59.5
be able
28:00.5
to refill
28:01.5
our dams.
28:02.5
Okay now
28:03.5
you know
28:04.5
we've had
28:05.5
the water
28:06.5
supply
28:07.5
challenges
28:08.5
in recent
28:09.5
years
28:10.5
and those
28:11.5
years
28:12.5
were not
28:13.5
El Nino
28:14.5
years
28:15.5
unlike
28:16.5
what we're
28:17.5
having
28:18.5
today.
28:19.5
Now
28:20.5
what's
28:21.5
happening
28:22.5
in the
28:23.5
Pag-ata
28:24.5
is
28:25.5
that
28:26.5
there's
28:27.5
a lot
28:28.5
of rain
28:29.5
in the
28:30.5
Pag-ata
28:31.5
and
28:32.5
we're
28:33.5
getting
28:34.5
90%
28:35.5
of our
28:36.5
water
28:37.5
from
28:38.5
the dam
28:39.5
and
28:40.5
we're
28:41.5
decreasing
28:42.5
our
28:43.5
dependencies
28:44.5
from
28:45.5
this dam
28:46.5
by
28:47.5
constructing
28:48.5
new
28:49.5
water
28:50.5
systems
28:51.5
for
28:52.5
our
28:53.5
customers
28:54.5
in
28:55.5
Manila
28:56.5
and
28:57.5
Manila
28:58.5
Water.
28:59.5
So
29:00.5
right now
29:01.5
aside from
29:02.5
the water
29:03.5
that we
29:04.5
have
29:05.5
filled
29:06.5
we already
29:07.5
completed
29:08.5
rehabilitation
29:09.5
of the
29:10.5
deep
29:11.5
wells
29:12.5
which
29:13.5
are
29:14.5
located
29:15.5
within
29:16.5
the Metro
29:17.5
Manila
29:18.5
so that's
29:19.5
our
29:20.5
updates in fact
29:21.5
that you can
29:22.5
share with
29:23.5
us because
29:24.5
there were
29:25.5
moves in
29:26.5
the past
29:27.5
to identify
29:28.5
new water
29:29.5
sources for
29:30.5
Metro Manila
29:31.5
or expand
29:32.5
our current
29:33.5
reservoirs
29:34.5
that we
29:35.5
are really
29:36.5
highly
29:37.5
dependent
29:38.5
on so
29:39.5
are there
29:40.5
updates
29:41.5
on that?
29:42.5
Yeah
29:43.5
Pag-ata
29:44.5
declares
29:45.5
that we
29:46.5
will be
29:47.5
experiencing
29:48.5
a lot of
29:50.5
water
29:51.5
in Manila
29:52.5
and
29:53.5
Manila
29:54.5
and
29:55.5
and
29:56.5
the
29:57.5
water
29:58.5
system
29:59.5
is
30:00.5
quite
30:01.5
important
30:02.5
for
30:03.5
the
30:04.5
people
30:05.5
in
30:06.5
Manila
30:07.5
and
30:08.5
the
30:09.5
water
30:10.5
system
30:11.5
is
30:12.5
quite

All right. Coming up next, Philippine transport regulators remind chiefly drivers and operators there will be no more extensions to the April 30 deadline for consolidating their units.

35:48.4
Thank you for watching!
36:16.4
Mobility will be key.
36:18.4
Because we have relaxed some of our quarantine methods and we have allowed more transportation to come out,
36:27.9
that's going to prove to be better for demand.
36:31.1
If we do follow the health protocols, the ability of people to move around will likely contribute better to growth.

Meralko announced on Monday that there will be a drop in power rates for their customers this month of April.
37:55.0
This is due to a sharp decrease in generation and transmission charges, as well as a decrease in taxes.
38:01.1
Customers can expect their electricity bill to be slashed by almost 1 peso per kilowatt hour of consumption.
38:07.6
This means a reduction of 198 pesos for those households consuming 200 kilowatt hours per month.
38:14.2
The drop offsets solar increases by Meralko starting January 2022.
38:18.4
There are many factors in play.
38:21.5
Kamukha nga nito, itong binanggit ko kaninang mga dahilan kung bakit bumaba yung kuryente,
38:28.5
parang dalawang factors, generation of transmission, parehong bumaba.
38:33.1
So nagkaroon ng combined impact of almost a 1 peso reduction.
38:37.1
Now the situation will be different for this current supply month.
38:43.5
However, the power company is still on top of the high demand for power.
38:47.6
However, the power company is still on top of the high demand for power.

However, the power company is still on top of the high demand for power.
38:48.4
As consumption rises with the sweltering heat in the country,
38:51.7
they are encouraging large load customers like companies to participate in their interruptible load program,
38:57.5
where they will use generator sets to avoid power interruptions in residential areas.
39:03.1
Sa ngayon, di pa natin nakita yung peak.
39:06.1
Sa Luzon, ang maximum demand ay typically nakita ng May.
39:12.0
So between now today and May, we still expect demand to increase.

Philippine Transport Regulators again asserting the finality of the April 30 deadline
39:26.4
for jeepney operators to consolidate into cooperatives and corporations.
39:31.2
The LTFRB says those who remain unconsolidated by next month will be barred from plying the routes.
39:37.8
The scheme aimed at modernizing jeepneys to improve the transportation system
39:42.0
has faced strong opposition from various transport groups.
39:45.7
I have to reiterate, hanggang April 30 na lang po ito.
39:52.0
We need to consolidate because that's the first part of the modernization program
39:58.3
before the fleet management would come in.
40:04.0
And that's the second phase na po.
40:05.7
So we are asking now the jeepney operators to now avail of the last extension
40:12.9
because comes April 30.
40:15.7
We will no longer allow those who did not consolidate to ply the routes of Metro Manila.
40:22.4
We will revoke those franchises and we will only be allowing those who have consolidated
40:30.9
to ply the routes of Metro Manila.
40:35.6
The LTFRB also announced it will not open new slots for motorcycle taxis in the capital region
40:41.7
following orders from Transport Secretary Jaime Bautista.
40:44.8
This decision comes amid concerns doing so could lead to traffic congestion in the Metro.
40:51.6
As a result, Angkas, Joyride and Moveit will remain the only players in the motorcycle taxi service
40:57.8
in the metropolis, sharing a pool of 45,000 slots.
41:03.7
Last week, nagkaroon po ng meeting ng mga transport groups together with Secretary Bautista.
41:10.8
And as early as last week,
41:14.8
meron na po kaming utos galing sa kanya
41:19.2
na itigil na muna ang pagbibigay ng rota sa mga motorcycle taxi within Metro Manila.
41:29.0
Sa labas po ng Metro Manila, pwede pa po.
41:32.3
The 8,000 slots will now have to be made outside Metro Manila.

Doesn't matter if the prank actually turned out to be a marketing stunt hatched last year by owner Carl Quion.
42:21.9
DTI Assistant Secretary Amanda Nograles says they will proceed with the probe just the same.
42:28.0
Pag ang DTI nagbibigay ng business name registration, dapat gamitin mo ng maayos.
42:33.0
Yung business name can be revoked, can be cancelled, can be suspended.
42:37.5
So kapag wala kang business name registration, hindi ka makakakuha ng business permit at hindi ka makaka-operate ng negosyo mo.
42:47.0
On Saturday, Quion posted a video admitting that they hatched the idea in 2023 to become viral.
42:54.2
Romil Albano, the man who had the logo tattooed on his forehead, turned out to be an accomplice.
42:59.9
Noong August 29, 2023.
43:05.0
Pahanap ako sa kaibigan kong tattoo artist.
43:07.5
Kung meron ba siyang kaibigan, na-waiting na tataposan ako.
43:10.9
Kung may sasabak sa challenge, ay handa akong magbigay ng 100,000 piso.
43:15.6
Hindi na masyadong tumagalang pagkahanap.
43:17.7
Kinagabihan lang, nakahanap na kami.
43:20.2
At siya, isa kay Romil.
43:22.4
Quion later on apologized.
43:24.8
Despite the lies, Quion says, help poured for Albano who has a son with Down syndrome.
43:30.6
The father and son received money and other donations from netizens.
43:34.8
But the DTI said that reasoning is dangerous.
43:37.5
Not enough.
43:50.2
Nograles added that prosecutors may even opt to file a case against those who are behind the marketing stunt.
43:57.8
Iniingga niyo ng tao through that post ang mamamayan para magpatatoo.
44:03.9
And what is that? That's self-harm.
44:05.8
It's eubelation.
44:06.1
Parang ipahiya yung sarili nila in exchange for a price.
44:12.6
Be responsible at galangin din ang mga karapatan at yung dignidad ng ating mga netizens at mamamayan.
44:21.8
DTI has also reported the incident to Meta, the parent company of Facebook,
44:26.5
for violation of its community standards and to the Cybercrime Investigation and Coordinating Center for possible charges.
44:33.7
ABS-CBN News tried to get the side of Keon and his group, but they have yet to respond to our request.
44:40.2
According to public relations professional Andy Saracho, whether it was a marketing stunt or not,
44:45.5
the act was done in bad taste as it played on people's emotions and needs, particularly money.
44:51.9
Saracho said what people want to see is authenticity, something they can relate to and be inspired of.
44:58.4
Scamwatch Philippines cautioned the public to be wary of what they see on social media.
45:03.7
It's a critical thing that we need to think about.
45:08.5
If you think about those posts, after a few minutes, if a man has a post, and then he's good,
45:16.4
but what do you really know? What's going to happen?
45:19.5
It's not good to be detailed.
45:21.3
To those who are thinking, and to those who are deciding, don't bring our emotions.
45:25.7
Help us right away. We don't know how to do it.

Filipino students learned the tricks of the trade behind starting a business in a summit in Pasig City.
45:39.1
Jackie Pascual tells us all about that in this report.
45:43.3
The Philippine Education Department and non-profit group GoNegosyo have partnered to mentor students on entrepreneurship.
45:50.4
In Pasig, they organized the Youthpreneur Summit to equip senior high school learners of Rizal High School
45:57.1
with basic information on how to start the business and how to sustain it.
46:02.2
To cultivate.
46:03.7
A culture of innovation and equip the next generation with essential life skills.
46:11.0
It is imperative to introduce entrepreneurship education at an early age.
46:16.7
Students were given partner mentors or business owners who gave them tips on running a business,
46:22.7
from the planning stage to product development up to marketing and packaging.
46:28.0
GoNegosyo founder Joey Concepcion says,
46:30.9
small and medium-sized enterprises or SMEs,
46:33.7
are the backbone of the economy and there is a need to strengthen it further.
46:38.8
The only way to propel our economy is to teach our young kids to be enterprising.
46:47.1
Whether what I call it entrepreneurial, which is working for somebody in a company but being entrepreneurial-minded,
46:55.6
or becoming a negotiante.
46:57.8
One of the students who joined the summit is 18-year-old Luke,
47:00.9
who started a donut business last year,
47:03.7
but had to stop because of low sales after just a few months.
47:08.5
Now he wants to learn more to avoid the mistakes he may have committed.
47:12.7
I want to know who he can market to,
47:15.9
to the old people, to the kids who want sweets, and things like that.
47:21.7
We will have our own branch and we will know our mini-donuts.
47:25.7
Vice President and Education Secretary Sarah Duterte tells students,
47:30.2
they cannot depend on salary alone,
47:32.7
especially if they want to sell their products.
47:33.7
They want to buy things that may not necessarily be a need.
47:37.4
Paano ba tayo magkakaroon ng pera?
47:40.3
Magtatrabaho tayo.
47:43.2
Mabibigyan tayo ng sweldo.
47:45.2
Pero yung sweldo natin hindi lumalaki.
47:48.0
Paano natin palaguin, paramihin ang pera natin?
47:54.7
Doon sa negosyo.
47:57.2
GoNegosyo now plans to go to other schools and cities to mentor the younger population
48:02.0
on how to become effective in the economy.
48:03.7
And how to become effective business owners to help their families and the economy as a whole.

Twenty-nine individuals have been summoned by the court, including the founders of law firm Mossack Fonseca.

Moving now to entertainment for British actor Andrew Scott, there's more to playing the lead role in a new Netflix series than meets the eye.
57:21.7
Our Hollywood correspondent Yong Chavez talks to the actor about his new project.
57:26.0
Andrew Scott feels a certain way towards Tom Ripley, the character that he embodies in Ripley.
57:33.9
The new Netflix limited series is the latest adaptation of Patricia Highsmith's best-selling novels.
57:40.7
Scott, who received critical acclaim for his performances in TV's Fleabag and the film All of Us Strangers,
57:46.6
says he looks at Ripley through a different lens as compared to how the con artist may be perceived by others.
57:54.4
The familiar character was also portrayed as a character who was a bit of a stranger to him.
57:55.6
Andrew Scott feels a certain way towards Tom Ripley, the character that he embodies in Ripley.
57:56.0
The movie was also played by Matt Damon in the 1999 movie The Talented Mr. Ripley.
58:00.6
Set in the 60s, the series with its eight episodes has more time to explore Ripley's background and motivations,
58:07.5
beginning with a look at his life as a grifter in New York.
58:10.4
He's a con artist. He's pretty artistic with how he cons people.
58:16.3
And that's what he does. He's ignored by society and he lives in rat-filled streets in the Lower East Side
58:20.8
and nobody observes him and he's allowed to get away with it.
58:23.3
And then he's submerged into this world.
58:26.0
It's where it brings out a kind of ferocity in him because I suppose he sees a bigger world
58:30.3
that other people really take for granted.
58:32.7
And it brings out an anger in him and he starts to do things that are completely irrational and murderous.
58:40.0
And I think the fascination of the audience is that we see this person who is quite small and vulnerable
58:45.2
and streetwise certainly, but certainly not a murderer.
58:48.5
And he makes loads of mistakes.
58:50.2
And so I think that's why the character is so enduring and why those big words like sociopath
58:55.6
or psychopath or serial killer or all those kind of things
58:58.6
can for me sometimes feel a little extreme.
59:01.7
In the story, Ripley was unexpectedly tasked to go to Italy to bring a rich man's son back to the US.
59:08.8
The son, Dickie Greenleaf, is an affable man who's also seemingly adrift and longing for his purpose in life.
59:15.5
He's played by British actor Johnny Flynn.
59:18.1
Dickie Greenleaf is the golden boy who's probably had very little experience with hardship in his life.
59:24.1
And the way you played him,
59:25.6
there seems to be, you know, like an undercurrent of loneliness.
59:29.3
He's yearning to feel something about himself that I think Tom fulfills for him.
59:37.8
And I think that's why their connection is strong and why Dickie loves Tom being there.
59:46.9
You know, he can see in Tom somebody who can yearn for the same things and see the world in the same way.
59:53.1
And he's an ally in terms of his.
59:55.6
Statistic perception is yearning to feel a certain way about himself.
60:00.4
And he's probably a little frustrated with his life is the situation.
60:04.5
Ripley also stars Dakota Fanning as Marge Sherwood.
60:07.9
The series is now out on Netflix.

And before we go, millions of sky watchers gazed upward for the first solar eclipse to grace North America in seven years.
60:24.2
Eclipse fans gathered.
60:25.6
In numerous places along the path of totality,
60:28.8
stretching from Mexico's Pacific coast through Texas and across 14 other U.S. states into Canada.
60:35.6
Where clear skies prevailed,
60:37.6
viewers were treated to a period of totality lasting up to four and a half minutes,
60:43.2
surpassing the duration of the 2017 eclipse in the U.S.,
60:46.8
which clocked in at under three minutes.
60:51.0
Just the moment when it just went dark and everything,
60:54.3
I mean, it's the most beautiful thing.
60:55.6
It really was a moment of, I was just amazed, blown away.
60:59.6
I would travel to go find another one.
61:01.3
I think it's really cool.
61:02.4
I never witnessed eclipse before.
61:05.4
And they say it's not going to happen again until like 20 years or 100 years.
61:09.8
So it will be once in a lifetime.
61:13.4
About 32 million people live within the path of totality in the U.S.,
61:17.9
with another 5 million estimated to have traveled for eclipse watching events.
61:24.7
And that'll do it.
61:25.6
That's it for today.
61:26.3
Thanks a lot for joining us.
