00:00Pantawid-Pamilyang Pilipino Program Grantee
00:03Pantawid-Pamilyang Pilipino Program Grantee experienced a series of problems
00:08that hit your heart, Action Man.
00:10His name was wrongly spelled in the DSWD database.
00:14Other problems arose, such as the delayed release of his assistance.
00:18Here is our action.
00:22Pantawid-Pamilyang Pilipino Program Grantee
00:25Ten years ago, Geneline was the replacement for Pantawid-Pamilyang Pilipino Program
00:31or 4-Piece Grantee.
00:33When her mother passed away in 2016,
00:35Geneline moved from Occidental, Mindoro to San Jose, Del Monde, Bulacan
00:39to live with her older brother.
00:42Geneline received a payout of P25,000 from 2018 to May 2020
00:49until June of the same year.
00:53When we moved here, there was a problem with the name.
00:58There was a name discrepancy.
01:01According to the DSWD City Link of San Jose, Del Monde, Bulacan,
01:05there was a difference in the spelling of Geneline's name in their database.
01:10I read everything they asked for.
01:13Until now, I haven't seen an answer.
01:17I haven't seen an explanation of what happened.
01:21Now, they said, wait, wait, wait, just wait.
01:25It's being processed. It will take a long time.
01:29Geneline's wait for the payout
01:31reached the completion of her exit as a beneficiary of 4-Piece in September 2023.
01:39She is the last monitored child in the family who is now 18 years old.
01:44It's almost complete.
01:46It's very difficult.
01:48That's what we were hoping to get.
01:53Your beloved action man fell asleep at the DSWD Field Office, Region 3, Central Luzon.
01:58They explained that there was a difference in the spelling of Geneline's name
02:03in her cash card in Mindoro,
02:05which was corrected in December 2016.
02:08In 2019, her transfer was processed and approved in San Jose, Del Monde, Bulacan,
02:13where she was given a new cash card in April 2022.
02:18In October 2023, the follow-up to the unpaid payout in her account was successful.
02:23Several documents were requested by the agency and Geneline was approved in August 2024.
02:29The transfer of funds was approved,
02:31but a few days ago, there was a problem with Geneline's cash card.
02:36It was blocked and needed to be reset.
02:39Now, the bank is trying to fix it.
02:41Tung Akin, the beneficiary,
02:43entered Geneline's account with a payout of more than Php60,000.
02:47I'm very thankful.
02:49At that time, I couldn't get close to my beloved action man.
02:54He fell asleep.
02:56I miss him every hour.
02:58Thank you very much.
02:59I'm very thankful.
03:05Mission accomplished, Kapuso.
03:07For your updates, just send it to the Kapuso Action Man Facebook page.
03:10Because in any complaint, abuse, or suspicion,
03:13there is always an appropriate action from your Kapuso Action Man.
03:18The former COVID-19 testing czar, Vince Dizzo, was appointed as the new transportation secretary.
03:25This was effective on February 21.
03:28He will replace the transportation secretary, Jaime Bautista,
03:32who was appointed to oversee his health.
03:36According to Executive Secretary Lucas Bersamin,
03:39the office of the President has authorized the transition.
03:44Aside from being a testing czar during the time of former President Rodrigo Duterte,
03:48Dizzo was also appointed as the President and Chief Executive Officer of the Basis Conversion and Development Authority.
03:56The Energy Regulatory Commission appointed an advocacy group
04:00to oversee the overhaul of Meralco,
04:03which was supposed to reach Php160 billion within two years.
04:09And in the middle of this, the power distribution company, which is headed by Mackie Pulido, is also asking for additional assistance.
04:19In June 2022, the Energy Regulatory Commission ordered Meralco
04:25to limit the single distribution charge to Php1.35 per kWh,
04:31including the metering charge and supply charge.
04:35But according to the National Association of Electricity Consumers for Reform, or NASICOR,
04:40if you look at the back of the Meralco bill,
04:42Meralco asked for Php2.09 for the distribution,
04:46Php33 for the metering and Php49 for the supply charge.
04:50Php1.57 was too much for the ERC's budget.
04:55If you multiply that with the energy sales of one year,
04:59which we obtained from their website,
05:02in just one year,
05:04it came out to Php82 billion.
05:10So if we multiply it by two years, it's Php164.5 billion.
05:15This means that in Juscel's electric bill,
05:18Meralco asked for more than Php1,122 from him.
05:22That came from the multiplication of Php1.57,
05:26which was not overcharged,
05:28for the 715 kilowatt-hour consumption of electricity.
05:32Food should reach there every day.
05:37According to NASICOR, this is an illegal move.
05:41That's why it was written in the ERC.
05:43This has a big impact on their franchise.
05:48Should people trust you?
05:51The ERC confirmed that the agency ordered a distribution charge of Php1.35,
05:57but it's an average rate.
05:59Because of the average rate,
06:01the price will vary depending on the consumer and customer class.
06:05But they are now verifying the data to answer the letter from NASICOR.
06:09We are still waiting for the statement of Meralco.
06:11For the Php1.35 distribution charge of Meralco,
06:16they are ready to refund Php19 billion.
06:20But according to NASICOR,
06:22even if there is an overcharge,
06:24Meralco is still asking for an additional Php33
06:27for the distribution charge.
06:30You're just solving for Php1.35,
06:34why are you increasing it to Php1.66?
06:37What is this?
06:39It's absurd, unreasonable.
06:42According to the ERC,
06:43Meralco has just filed an additional petition.
06:46It will be under public hearing and evaluation if it is justified.
06:51According to Meralco,
06:52Josel is already a customer.
06:53According to the petition,
06:54he should think of people like him who are always asking for a payment for electricity.
06:59Trust.
07:00They are doing their job properly.
07:02It's not a joke.
07:05The people are looking for a living.
07:08Usually, others don't really know.
07:13For GMA Integrated News,
07:15Mackie Pulido reporting for 24 Hours.
07:18The disc jockey and influencer Jelly Ao filed a complaint with the NBI
07:23against her fiancé.
07:25In the social media post of her friend Christian Tugado,
07:28who was allowed to be used in GMA Integrated News,
07:32you can see the bloody face of Jelly.
07:35She was covered in bruises and wounds.
07:37Today, Jelly went to the NBI's office to investigate the incident.
07:42She didn't reveal it first,
07:44but on social media,
07:46she thanked all those who reached out to her for prayers and support.
07:52The two Filipinos recruited by the West African Drug Syndicate
07:56to become couriers of drugs in Malaysia were caught by the NBI.
08:02Their recruiter, who is constantly being targeted by the authorities,
08:06is John Consulta.
08:13These two women were covered from head to toe when they arrived at the NBI's headquarters today.
08:19They were caught by the NBI in Malaysia
08:21from the operation of the West African Drug Syndicate.
08:24According to the NBI,
08:25with the help of their information obtained from their drug operation this January,
08:29the two Filipinos discovered their trip to become drug couriers.
08:33They were sent to Malaysia,
08:35all expenses paid at $500,000 if the work continues.
08:46From Malaysia, they will be given drugs to be brought to Hong Kong.
08:54I immediately called two agents in Malaysia
08:57to coordinate with the Malaysian police.
09:00The female drug mule was caught in Malaysia
09:04before they were able to pass the cocaine drugs to the Filipinos who were being victimized.
09:14According to the NBI's Dangerous Drugs Division,
09:17the maleta came from Africa,
09:19which was filled with a kilo of cocaine
09:21that was confiscated from the intercepted African national.
09:24They are very sophisticated when it comes to concealing the drugs
09:30such that, if you have no idea,
09:32it can reach our airport and the airports of other countries.
09:36The authorities admitted that it is hard to deny the existence of the West African Drug Syndicate.
09:43This drug group is victimizing Filipinos
09:47because of their good command of the English language.
09:52The payment scheme, that $5,000 is almost 300,000 pesos allowance and pocket money.
10:05This group is responsible for the arrest of majority of Filipinos in many parts of the world
10:16who are now languishing in jail and facing death penalty.
10:20The NBI's follow-up operation continues
10:23to get the recruiter of two Filipinos in the Philippines.
10:26However, they did not give a statement
10:28that one of them is under counseling and debriefing as a human trafficking victim.
10:33For JMA Integrated News, John Consulta.
10:36Tune in for 24 Hours.
10:40The Pasay Metropolitan Trial Court ruled
10:43the case of Acts of Lasciviousness
10:45that was filed by the actor Sandro Mulac
10:48against a director and a script writer.
10:51In the decision, the court said that it is already a part
10:54of the separate case of Rape Through Sexual Assault
10:58that was also filed by Mulac in the Pasay Regional Trial Court
11:02against Jojo Nones and Richard Cruz.
11:04According to the court,
11:06the filing of the separate two counts of Acts of Lasciviousness is already overkill.
11:12In an Instagram story,
11:14Sandro said that the heavier case has not yet been dismissed.
11:19His field of motion for reconsideration will also be included.
11:28To those who have a walk tomorrow to celebrate Valentine's Day,
11:32bring an umbrella because it will rain.
11:35According to the forecast,
11:36three weather systems are still in effect in different parts of the country.

11:49and some parts of Luzon as well as in Metro Manila.

11:57Based on the data of Metro Weather,
11:58the chance of rain in the morning in a large part of Luzon

12:03Visayas and Mindanao is possible to rain.

16:46Di lang sa all-out Sundays makikijaming ang ilang kapuso singers,
16:50dahil ang kanilang husay sa pagkanta, dadalhin na rin nila sa teatro.
16:54Ang kanilang pagbibidahang musical, Itchy Chica ni Lars Santiago.
17:05Kita at ramdam ang pasyon ng mga bumubuo ng cast
17:09ng bagong jukebox musical na liwanag sa dilim
17:13na magtatampok sa mga hit songs ni Rico Blanco.
17:18Bahagi ng musical, sina Sparkle Stars Rita Daniela,
17:23Khalil Ramos, Ansoni Rosaldo, at Biana Bunagan.
17:27Kapag napanood niyo itong musical na to, may intindihan niyo kung
17:31ganang preparation mo yung ginawa ko dito.
17:35Noong una ko silang na-meet lahat, talagang medyo natakot yung introvert self ko.
17:40Nagtago ako sa corner.
17:42Pero I had to learn to connect with each and every one of them.
17:45So ito yung first na original musical na part ako nang mag-originate ng character.
17:52So this is very challenging.
17:54It kind of feels like coming home kasi since I did theater first before I did TV acting.
18:00So it's a very familiar kind of working environment.
18:07Tatlong linggo na lang mag-rehearse para sa liwanag sa dilim ang buong cast.
18:15At sa first week of March, magsisimula na ang kanilang pagtatanghal.
