00:00 Former President Rodrigo Duterte was shocked
00:02 that he is legally pursuing the separation of Mindanao from the Philippines.
00:07 The former president said that in an interview with the former Presidential Legal Counsel Salvador Panelo
00:13 in the program "Radyo Bandido RJTV".
00:16 According to the former president, this is being done in the United Nations,
00:19 just like what Timor-Leste did.
00:21 He also denied the reaction of some officials and the so-called "Act of Sedition" in the so-called Hakbang.
00:27 Duterte said that he does not want a war.
00:32 He said that he does not want to fight the constitution of the separation of Mindanao
00:35 because he read it in the "Kagustuhan ng Taong Bayan".
00:39 In the middle of the rise in the price of rice,
00:43 some groups are hoping to approve an increase in wages for the workers.
00:48 Watch Sandra Aguinaldo.
00:53 Now, the Senate has just passed a plenary debate on the bill for an increase in wages of P100 per day
01:02 no matter how much the workers' hopes are fulfilled.
01:06 They say that the hardship of life is too much because the salary of their families is not enough.
01:12 We think that P100 is too small, it should be P150.
01:19 But we are happy that the Senate is listening and that it has to be legislated.
01:24 But the Department of Labor and Employment has long since told the Senate their position on the issue.
01:31 They say that the plan to increase the salary of the 4.5 million minimum wage earners
01:35 may affect the business.
01:39 Labor Secretary Bienvenido La Guesma said that the minimum wage has increased in all regions of the country in 2023
01:47 except Davao Region, which implemented it in 2022.
01:52 The Secretary said that it is already improving and it is possible to announce Davao Region's increase in wages.
01:58 According to the GMA Integrated News Research,
02:02 all wage orders in 2023 were implemented in the second semester or the last six months of the year.
02:09 The last was Region 10 or Northern Mindanao in December.
02:14 The GMA said that it will take another year to increase the wages.
02:19 We want to give the employers a chance to settle down unless there is a so-called super beating event.
02:28 La Guesma said that they will follow the Congress on whether the bill will pass.
02:34 In 1989, there was a legislative wage hike and it was stopped after the Wage Rationalization Act was passed.
02:43 The Regional Tripartite Wages and Productivity Boards were formed.
02:47 According to the Employers Confederation of the Philippines or ECOP,
02:51 it is not yet possible to recover many businesses due to the pandemic and the increase in wages may be harmful.
02:58 Only a few businesses will benefit.
03:02 There are only two things that can be done.
03:04 Either they will increase the price, which is inflationary, or the number of people will decrease.
03:10 If those two things cannot be done, then they will close down.
03:13 The group of employees has a different view.
03:16 We're talking about more than 25 million Filipinos who will benefit from the increase in wages.
03:27 We're talking about 25 percent of the population.
03:31 If the wages of the employees increase, their families will become consumers.
03:37 For GMA Integrated News, Sandra Aguinaldo, your "Saksi."
03:43 The government will teach the people who are interested in information technology.
03:49 This is to fight the scammers and hackers in the country.
03:53 "Saksi" is Ivan Mayrina.
03:56 [music]
03:59 I'm calling the government.
04:01 The President said that it's a joke that someone called him yesterday.
04:06 He can't deny how serious the scamming problem is.
04:09 That's why DICP is reminding people to click on the links sent by unknown numbers
04:15 and against the allocations of "Too Good To Be True" or the announcement of "Nanalo Ka" in the unannounced raffle.
04:21 Be careful with those who share on social media that they are taking information.
04:26 When someone calls you, they know your name, your birthdate, and your address.
04:31 Don't be misled. You need to be alert.
04:33 Sometimes, the ability of Filipinos online has become notorious.
04:36 The so-called "I Love You Virus" or "Love Bug" that was discovered by 24-year-old Onel De Guzman
04:42 spread to millions of computers and affected businesses and governments around the world in 2000.
04:48 Instead of detecting the virus,
04:50 the Filipinos' obsession with information technology
04:53 is the reason why they want to fight the scammers and hackers.
04:57 DICP-ICP Academy will hold online courses for the government first,
05:02 but later, for the public.
05:05 We've opened up a completely new window of employment
05:09 that they can go into and earn a lot of money, better than the college salaries.
05:14 So how much money are we talking about when you said bigger than cap-sec salaries?
05:18 Well, many of the cybersecurity, maybe a low of 200,000 a month.
05:26 That's right, because there are 2 million job openings for cybersecurity experts in the country.
05:31 Many businesses have moved online since the pandemic,
05:34 so the public has also moved online,
05:36 which is not a waste of resources for scammers.
05:39 These employers, they're not after your diploma.
05:42 Once they see that you have talent,
05:44 even if you're just a graduate of a grade school,
05:46 you're not a high school graduate.
05:47 You're not going to waste it.
05:48 The practice of cybersecurity in the hands of the government and private individuals,
05:53 as part of the National Cybersecurity Plan, was approved by the DICT
05:56 by President Bongbong Marcos Itong-Martez.
05:59 Aside from the online scammers,
06:01 the government agencies are also being targeted by the Chinese authorities,
06:04 as part of the OASOWWA,
06:07 and the President's own website.
06:10 As for the servers in China,
06:13 China has denied their approval
06:15 and has also offered help in the investigation, according to the DICT.
06:19 Despite this, the DICT does not deny that the hackers are involved in the Sigalot in the West Philippine Sea.
06:25 Anything is possible.
06:26 In cyber investigations and in analyzing all of this,
06:31 we'd never rule out anything.
06:33 For GMA Integrated News,
06:35 Ivan Meyrina, your Saksi.
06:37 Dominic Roque defended the bashers, the Dea Alonso,
06:47 amidst the issue of their separation.
06:50 Dominic shared a social media reel of their sweet moments together.
06:55 He accompanied it with the caption,
06:57 "She's a beautiful person inside and out."
07:00 Dominic also called for an end to the hate and negativity against Bea.
07:05 Dominic did not comment on the issue of separation,
07:08 and Bea did not respond.
07:13 In the last few days since December, the volcano's eruption has destroyed the Southwest Ice Land.
07:19 Their establishments and water pipes in the area are affected.
07:23 The water supply for more than 20,000 residents is affected.
07:28 The lava stream is only a kilometer away from their geothermal power plant.
07:32 The authorities are continuing to build structures
07:34 so that the lava does not directly reach the houses.
07:43 Swift be alert!
07:44 Even Rose of the K-pop superstars Blackpink
07:47 is jamming to Taylor Swift's concert in Japan.
07:50 And Carla Abellana's defense
07:52 against the purchase of pre-loved items that she sold online.
07:57 This is the Saksi of Aubrey Carampello.
07:59 The star Carla Abellana has an appeal
08:05 against the purchase of pre-loved items that she sold online.
08:09 Some netizens said that the price does not match the quality of what she sold.
08:14 Carla's defense.
08:16 The truth is, I would sell something much less than how much I got it for, right?
08:23 Especially because of her condition, it also depends on that.
08:28 For the actress and her fresh start,
08:31 letting go of some items that others can use for profit.
08:35 This Valentine's Day, is she ready for a fresh start in dating?
08:40 I don't want a blind date, I'm not comfortable with blind dates.
08:43 But dating, my goodness, I wouldn't say that I'm open to it.
08:48 But I don't want to think about it too much.
08:51 Not that I'm blocking myself.
08:53 But there are people who are feeling it.
08:55 There were before, but now it's not that much.
08:59 I don't know where they are.
09:01 She's her own boss now because she has her own agency,
09:05 Blackpink member Lisa.
09:06 She named it LOUD to showcase her vision in both music and entertainment.
09:12 She also invited fans to join her in her newest and exciting journey.
09:17 The label of Blackpink, YG Entertainment, said before
09:20 that the group renewed their contract for their group activities.
09:25 But not for the solo activities of their members.
09:28 Blackpink member Jennie was the first to launch her own agency
09:32 for her solo projects.
09:35 And speaking of Blackpink,
09:44 Rose confirmed her swiftness after attending Taylor Swift's concert
09:49 in Tokyo, Japan with her friend.
09:52 According to Rose, it was the best 10 minutes in Tokyo
09:58 while jamming to the 10-minute version of "All Too Well" by Taylor.
10:02 For GMA Integrated News,
10:04 Aubrey Carampel is your witness.
10:07 A mister who has a mistress in his house is on CCTV.
10:17 Caught, but not jailed.
10:20 Why?
10:20 Because what he got from his love
10:24 is considered a part of their family.
10:27 Here's our witness.
10:28 Who is that?
10:29 [laughs]
10:30 [music]
10:33 This video of a man in Quezon City is viral.
10:37 It's already 10 o'clock in the evening,
10:39 but he was seen on CCTV
10:40 with a mistress in their garage.
10:43 His wife's cousin caught that scene.
10:47 We were still in the house,
10:49 so there's CCTV.
10:50 I just checked.
10:52 I saw that he was flirting.
10:56 Marjorie immediately told her cousin.
10:59 I told you your husband has a mistress in the garage.
11:03 I caught them flirting.
11:06 He didn't have a camera in his head.
11:09 He was kissing.
11:10 I was just cooling down.
11:11 I just made him go.
11:13 I was just cooling down.
11:14 He's so manly.
11:15 He immediately confronted his wife.
11:17 Who are you talking to?
11:19 Who are you kissing?
11:21 But when they saw the video,
11:22 it wasn't just another woman.
11:24 [music]
11:26 It was their furbaby,
11:27 Jose's partner.
11:29 He kicked her.
11:31 He kicked her first.
11:33 [laughs]
11:34 That's Balmond, a 1-year-old and 5-month-old golden retriever.
11:38 When they saw the video,
11:40 we just laughed.
11:42 Jose's son is like their dog.
11:44 He often goes out and pets him.
11:47 Balmond is a good boy.
11:49 He likes to play with the kids.
11:51 He's just shy when we're together
11:54 and he's naughty.
11:56 He doesn't want to eat when he's not seen.
11:58 When Jose cries,
12:00 his wife should not be bothered
12:02 because apart from Balmond,
12:04 he doesn't have anyone to pet.
12:06 They remind other furparents,
12:09 love your pets.
12:11 They will always repay you for your love and care.
