00:00We will be together, in Taksim!
00:16Houses in Barangay Dalapas in Binan, Laguna caught fire.
00:20Around 4 a.m. earlier, the first alarm was raised.
00:25The house caught fire after 2 hours and 10 families were burned.
00:30More than Php 300,000 is the cost of the fire.
00:33There is still no information on the cause of the fire.
00:39The schools will be allowed to adjust the time of classes
00:42according to the hot weather.
00:45The Department of Health will advise the public
00:47to minimize the effects of extreme heat.
00:50Watch Ian Cruz!
00:55Outside their house in Baseco Compound in Manila,
00:58a portable pool was set up by the parents of these children
01:02to cool themselves.
01:04Since yesterday, it was very hot.
01:07That's why we set up a swimming pool for the children.
01:11The poultry farms in Pangasinan
01:13were instructed to watch their pets
01:16so that they won't get sick in the middle of the hot weather.
01:19They are always being fed with water.
01:21They are always being fed with water
01:24so that they won't catch a cold.
01:26It's dark there, so they won't catch a cold.
01:28Five places in the country have reported
01:30a dangerous level of heat index today.
01:34Those who are sick should be more careful
01:36because they may get dizzy, have a headache,
01:39have a headache, and others.
01:42The Department of Health will advise
01:44to take maintenance medicine at the right time.
01:46When we are stressed and because of the heat,
01:49we may get frustrated or have a high blood pressure.
01:56If you don't take medicine,
01:58it may lead to a heart attack or stroke.
02:03Wear clothes made of light materials
02:07to keep your body fresh.
02:09Avoid going out from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.
02:12when the sun is strong and always drink water.
02:16Don't suddenly go to a cold or hot place.
02:19Let's not go from hot to cold quickly.
02:23It can cause headaches and stress to the body.
02:27Those who have a cough can trigger asthma.
02:30There should also be a hydration break that won't go down
02:33for 15 to 20 minutes.
02:35That's one way to prevent heat stroke.
02:38If you may get dizzy and have a wet head,
02:42because it's so hot, that's important as well.
02:45The MMDA is implementing the 30-minute heat stroke break policy
02:49for their enforcers and MetroAids in Lansangan
02:53from March 3 to May 31.
02:56There's an additional 15 minutes
02:58if the heat index exceeds 40 degrees Celsius.
03:01Like earlier, the heat index in Pasay reached 40 degrees.
03:06Bureau of Corrections bought a sando for PDLs
03:10and assured that there's enough water in the cells.
03:13DepEd will adjust the schedule of some classes.
03:18In some places, the morning class is 6 to 10 a.m.,
03:21afternoon class is 2 to 6 p.m.,
03:24and asynchronous learning is from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.
03:29Their advice for students is to avoid activities outside
03:33during the day.
03:34You should remove your clothes from the airway
03:37and in every classroom,
03:40that has cooling packs and a thermometer.
03:42DepEd will also provide additional electric fans in classrooms.
03:47They will also build hydration stations
03:49and will provide a water container.
03:52And together with the LGUs and other government agencies,
03:56they will inspect the classrooms.
03:59According to Pag-asa,
04:00even though there's a possibility of rain in some places,
04:03it doesn't mean that the temperature here will cool down.
04:07It's sad to say that if it rains for a while,
04:10there will be more vapors around us.
04:13So it means that our relative humidity will increase
04:16or the heat index will increase.
04:20In Metro Manila, there's a chance of localized thunderstorms tomorrow.
04:25Based on the data of Metro Weather,
04:27some parts of Northern and Central Luzon,
04:30Palawan, Bicol Region,
04:32and a large part of Visayas and Mindanao,
04:35there's a chance of rain.
04:36It's also possible that Amihan and Shirlines will return to the country
04:40starting tomorrow,
04:41especially in the northern and eastern part of Luzon.
04:44Places where Amihan and Shirlines won't be able to reach
04:47will have a hot Easter lease.
04:49Based on the forecast tomorrow,
04:51the danger level of the heat index in San Jose Occidental Mindoro
04:55may be felt again.
04:57For GMA Integrated News,
04:59I'm Ian Cruz,
05:00your witness.
05:02Grounded or not,
05:04the F-A-50 fighter jets of the Philippine Air Force
05:07were not allowed to fly.
05:08After landing in Bukidnon,
05:09one of them,
05:10two pilots were killed.
05:12Witness, Chino Gaston.
05:17Along with several civilians who volunteered
05:19from the towns of Pangantukan and Lantapan,
05:22the Philippine Air Force
05:24launched Mount Kalatungan in Bukidnon
05:26to find the F-A-50 fighter jet
05:29that suddenly disappeared on a Tuesday morning.
05:32They found the fighter jet
05:34but it was completely destroyed.
05:36While a few meters from here,
05:38the two pilots who boarded it saw that they were dead.
05:41Yes, ma'am, I have visual confirmation
05:43that they are dead.
05:46They were only seen in the aircraft
05:48where they crashed.
05:52The pilots were not named by the Air Force
05:55but they say that the victims are experienced and qualified.
05:59Unfortunately, there is an indication
06:01that the pilots were not able to bail out.
06:04There are different versions of that.
06:06Some say that they were able to sit down,
06:07others say that they were thrown out of the aircraft.
06:11In the initial investigation,
06:12the plane with the tail number 002
06:14that crashed hit a tree.
06:17The F-A-50 came from Mactan Air Base in Cebu
06:20along with other fighter jets.
06:22They will conduct a night tactical operation
06:25as a support in the 4th Infantry Division
06:27against the New People's Army
06:29in the town of Cabanglasan
06:30when the aircraft was lost communication.
06:34We provide air support to our ground troops.
06:38We deliver the necessary firepower from the air.
06:41To soften the ground and to preserve our forces
06:45and avoid casualties,
06:48our troops from the ground requested the air support
06:53and the artillery fire support.
06:55The retrieval operation continues
06:57to retrieve the 12 pilots.
07:00Aside from the anti-terrorist operations,
07:02the F-A-50 fighter jets are also used
07:04in the Joint Patrol in the West Philippine Sea.
07:06These jets were also sent
07:08to the Pitch Black Exercises in Darwin, Australia.
07:11There are 12 F-A-50 fighter jets in the country
07:14that were purchased in South Korea
07:16from 2015 to 2017.
07:18However, while the F-A-50 is being investigated
07:22in Bukidnon,
07:23grounded or not,
07:25other fighter jets are being flown.
07:27The sooner we can get the fleet out of the grounded status,
07:34the better.
07:35We really need our F-A-50s to be there
07:38in case we have to face challenges
07:44in our territorial waters
07:50and exclusive economic zone areas.
07:52The Air Force has yet to say
07:54if the plan to add 12 F-A-50s
07:56is affected by the crash
07:59to complete a jet fighter squadron.
08:02For GMA Integrated News,
08:03I am Chino Gaston, your witness.
08:07The ride on the EDSA busway
08:10is a challenge for many persons with disabilities or PWD.
08:13That's why a group is being led
08:15together with the consultants
08:17to fix the EDSA.
08:19This is Oscar Oida.
08:23Every time EDSA uses the busway station in Kamuning,
08:28the 61-year-old PWD pilot,
08:31Mr. Romel,
08:32has a hard time.
08:33He can't reach the seats and the ramps.
08:36He's like a monster.
08:38It's tight.
08:40It's tight.
08:41It's like that.
08:43It's like they made it
08:45so that our BP-344 can fit.
08:48Together with several PWD and F-A-50 pilots,
08:51Mr. Romel was tasked to move the sidewalk
08:54towards the busway
08:56to show the passengers
08:58who have disabilities.
09:00Our planners should be able to see this,
09:05like the ramps,
09:09especially when going up to the busway
09:13or to our carousel.
09:16Safety comes first.
09:19It's hard for them to go up to the footbridge
09:21without an elevator.
09:28It's a good thing he was able to make it.
09:31Mr. Romel tried,
09:34but he couldn't make it.
09:36Most of the time,
09:37he relies on his fellow passengers.
09:40When I see that I can't go up,
09:43they help me,
09:44but it's scary.
09:46He should know how to handle a wheelchair user.
09:52I hope these overpasses have elevators
09:57so that when we go up there,
10:00there's a walk-out
10:02so that we won't have a hard time with PWD.
10:05They asked for a new group,
10:07Partnership for Inclusion, Accessibility,
10:09and Safety in EDSA, or PSA.
10:12When EDSA will be rehabbed,
10:15we will be there to consult.
10:20We asked for permission,
10:22but there was no official transportation available to us.
10:25But this past day,
10:27Transportation Secretary Vince Dizon
10:30was able to find the elevators in the busway that didn't work.
10:34He said,
10:35the carousel will study the private parts
10:38so that it can be operated properly.
10:40For JMA Integrated News,
10:42I am Oscar Oidang,
10:43your witness.
10:46A shuttle bus went up and down
10:48after it lost its owner
10:50in Morong Bataan.
10:52Four employees were injured in the accident.
10:54Our witness.
11:00This bus was able to go up and down
11:02in Subic Bay Freeport in Morong Bataan.
11:05The driver of the bus,
11:06where is the dash cam?
11:09The dash cam is over there.
11:11The dash cam was turned off
11:12to alert other drivers
11:14until...
11:19It hit a tree
11:20and fell into the bus.
11:22It also hit a tube
11:24so the water splashed.
11:25According to the police,
11:26four passengers of the bus were injured
11:28and were immediately taken to the hospital.
11:30The driver was not injured.
11:32Based on the investigation,
11:33the employees of the shuttle service
11:35were about to go to work
11:37when the driver suddenly lost control.
11:39The bus was stuck
11:42in the accelerator pad
11:44and the driver couldn't control it.
11:46That's why it kept going down.
11:49It couldn't brake.
11:54I also met Tabato
11:55who was picked up by a motorist
11:57who was following a wing van
11:58that was traveling
11:59and lost control of the brakes.
12:01According to him,
12:02he noticed it because
12:03a truck was passing by
12:04and sometimes it was shaking.
12:06The hazard light was also on.
12:08Later on,
12:09several men were seen running
12:11near the truck
12:12to put underpants
12:13or anything that could slow the truck down.
12:16Until it was stopped
12:18on the side of the road.
12:20No one was injured in the incident.
12:22The driver had a hard time
12:24getting out of the vehicle
12:25due to being stuck in the handlebars
12:26of his multi-cab
12:27after it hit a tree
12:29in Valencia, Negros Oriental.
12:31Dead on arrival,
12:32the driver was taken to the Valencia Rural Health Unit.
12:34When we got there,
12:35the driver was already unresponsive
12:37and he was really stuck
12:39in the front part of the vehicle.
12:41His passenger also responded.
12:43Based on the passenger's statement,
12:45the multi-cab was still missing.
12:47That's why the driver told him
12:48to jump.
12:49He believes that the driver
12:50intended to drop the multi-cab
12:51from a tree
12:52so that it wouldn't fall on the road.
12:54According to the police,
12:55the multi-cab was overloaded
12:56with banana trees,
12:57vegetables,
12:58and cans of beer.
13:00The driver's relatives
13:01didn't give an explanation.
13:03Based on the data collected
13:04by GMI Integrated News Research
13:06from the PNP Highway Patrol Group,
13:08more than 25,000 accidents
13:09were reported in the provinces
13:11from January to September
13:13last year.
13:14The data from Metro Manila,
13:16MMDA,
13:17and local police units
13:18are not included here.
13:20For those who will travel
13:21out of town this summer,
13:22the Department of Health
13:23should remind you
13:24to drive safely
13:25before traveling.
13:27Bring a repair kit
13:28and don't ever stop driving
13:30if you get stuck.
13:32For GMI Integrated News,
13:34Raffy Pima is your witness.
