03:30.0
Because of limited mobility,
03:31.8
people are also not being able to go to physical branches, etc.
03:35.7
It further accelerated the adoption of consumers of digital channels.
03:42.5
We are now being able to provide the services needed by our citizens,
03:60.0
Thank you for watching!
04:30.0
Thank you for watching!
04:60.0
Thank you for watching!
05:03.0
Mobility will be key to recovery
05:05.9
because we have relaxed some of our quarantine methods
05:10.2
and we have allowed more transportation to come out.
05:14.6
That's going to prove to be better for demand.
05:17.8
If we do follow the health protocols,
05:20.5
the ability of people to move around
05:22.0
will likely contribute better to growth.
05:30.0
Thank you for watching!
05:60.0
Thank you for watching!
06:30.0
Thank you for watching!
06:60.0
We have covered the journey of our young democracy.
07:04.4
In ANC, we were witnesses to the defining moments
07:07.2
of Philippine history that influenced the world.
07:18.9
This is the Philippines.
07:49.9
Beijing refused Manila's claims
07:52.2
on alleged reclamation activities in Escoda, Seoul.
07:56.3
The Philippines deports over 100 Chinese workers
07:59.5
working in an illegal pogo hub in Tarlac.
08:03.4
The ombudsman lifts the suspension order
08:05.2
on dozens more NFA employees
08:07.3
linked to the alleged disadvantageous sale
08:09.5
of government's rice buffer stock.
08:12.9
We'll tackle this with Rosendo So,
08:14.7
President of Agriculture Group, SINAG.
08:17.9
And former Senator Bam Aquino
08:19.8
set to lead a new political party
08:21.5
for the 2025 polls.
08:25.9
I'm Stanley Palisada.
08:27.1
Dateline Philippines begins right now.
08:29.5
For those of you watching us on YouTube and Facebook,
08:32.9
nice to have you with us.
08:34.0
Stopping the midday news,
08:35.5
a strong denial from China
08:37.2
over its alleged reclamation attempt
08:41.5
Beijing's foreign ministry
08:42.6
calling the accusations from Manila
08:44.3
fabricated and purely groundless.
08:47.6
The Philippine Coast Guard reported
08:49.3
what it called the sorry state of Escoda Shoal
08:52.2
due to coral dumping.
08:55.0
It suspects the activity could be
08:56.6
a prelude to island building.
08:58.8
China, though, is accusing the Philippines
09:00.9
of trying to mislead the international community
09:03.9
by spreading rumors.
09:07.6
it vows to intensify maritime patrols
09:10.5
to deter Beijing's illegal activities.
09:14.2
We are alarmed by all of this development
09:16.8
at kaya the National Task Force West Philippine Sea
09:19.8
led by Secretary Año
09:20.8
has already directed
09:21.7
mas maigting na pagbabantay
09:24.1
sa lahat ng mga features natin
09:26.9
at lahat ng mga features within
09:28.8
At sa West Philippine Sea
09:29.7
within our 200 nautical
09:31.4
exclusive economic zone
09:32.9
kasi wala pong magbabantay dyan
09:35.9
It is our responsibility
09:37.0
under international law
09:39.2
na bantayan at siguruhin
09:40.9
na yung environment dyan
09:42.4
at hindi nasisira
09:43.8
at hindi nagkakaroon
09:45.5
ng mga reclamation activities.
09:48.5
China continues to claim
09:50.2
almost the entire South China Sea
09:52.3
despite an arbitral ruling
09:53.8
that already invalidated
09:55.6
its so-called nine-dash line.
10:00.3
ay parallel probe
10:02.9
of controversial Bamban Mayor
10:06.1
as questions about her nationality
10:09.6
to illegal Pogo operations emerge.
10:12.6
Victoria Tulad reports.
10:17.1
from her official Facebook page
10:19.0
Bamban Tarlac Mayor Alice Guo
10:21.0
posed with her constituents
10:22.7
as she greeted them
10:24.3
a Happy Mother's Day.
10:26.5
she attended the flag-raising ceremony
10:28.4
and met with local officials.
10:30.9
Messages of support
10:31.9
poured in for Guo
10:36.3
became controversial
10:37.3
after being linked to Pogos,
10:39.6
our Philippine offshore gaming operators
10:42.5
in a compound owned
10:44.0
by Baufu Corporation.
10:45.9
The said compound
10:48.3
the Municipal Hall of Bamban.
10:50.9
The Pogos have already been raided
10:54.4
In a Senate hearing last week,
10:56.1
the Pogos Hongsheng
10:58.4
were linked to scams,
11:00.9
and possible hacking
11:01.8
of government websites.
11:03.7
Guo denied being connected
11:06.4
a former incorporator
11:07.6
of Baufu Compound.
11:10.3
during the hearing
11:11.3
was Guo's alleged
11:12.7
dubious identity.
11:14.6
Walang school record
11:16.0
dahil homeschool daw sila.
11:18.5
Nung tinanong ko sila
11:20.0
alin yung homeschool provider nyo,
11:23.5
Late registration
11:26.2
No hospital record.
11:27.8
These revelations,
11:28.4
raised further suspicion
11:30.3
from the lawmaker.
11:32.9
na Chinese talaga
11:35.0
si Mayor Alice Guo?
11:37.3
Si Mayor Alice ba
11:38.7
at ang mga tulad niyang
11:40.8
may mga mahiwagang nakaraan
11:45.3
na pinapasok ng China
11:47.7
sa ating gobyerno
11:49.6
para magkaroon sila
11:51.4
ng mabigat na impluensya
11:53.6
sa politika sa Pilipinas?
11:57.0
Marami ng ibang kasong
12:00.7
Senator Sherwin Gatchalian
12:05.6
marunong na rin sila
12:06.5
magpatakbo ng kandidato.
12:08.3
Ang daling kumuha
12:08.9
ng legitimate passport
12:10.3
dahil meron na silang tao
12:11.7
sa loob ng sistema
12:13.0
eh naproproteksyonan na
12:16.1
Ontiveros further said
12:20.5
for mayor in 2022.
12:22.4
According to those
12:24.3
talked to, however,
12:25.6
they have known her
12:26.4
since she was a child.
12:28.4
Nakikita namin siya
12:29.6
na matapat talaga
12:32.5
80 years old pa lang siya
12:33.5
kaya kilalang kilala namin
12:35.1
si Mayor Alice Go.
12:37.6
yung mga kapatid niya ma'am
12:40.7
will be conducted.
12:41.9
One of the things
12:42.5
senators want to know
12:46.8
The Commission on Elections
12:48.0
said no one filed
12:49.6
a disqualification case
12:55.7
Ano po ibig sabihin?
12:56.9
Wala po kaming karapatan
12:59.5
na certificates of candidacy.
13:01.5
Kahit pang maaaring mali
13:03.5
o nagsisinungaling,
13:04.9
hindi po nire-require
13:07.7
ng dagdag na dokumento
13:09.2
para lang patunayan
13:10.3
na ikaw ay of age.
13:11.4
Wala pong birth certificate
13:14.0
Partylist representative,
13:16.0
may also hold an inquiry
13:19.9
it's a possibility
13:22.2
to have a parallel investigation
13:24.6
here in the House
13:26.5
of Representatives
13:28.4
this is very serious
13:29.7
and at the same time
13:43.0
167 Chinese nationals
13:45.2
who were arrested
13:46.0
for illegally working
13:50.0
have been deported.
13:51.6
They were escorted
13:52.3
by Philippine authorities
13:55.0
to Shanghai, China.
13:58.0
in the investigation
13:58.4
of the immigration
14:05.1
Davao Representative
14:06.4
Pantalion Alvarez
14:08.8
before a House inquiry
14:14.4
had filed a complaint
14:17.0
accusing the former
14:19.7
disorderly behavior
14:21.7
the code of conduct
14:22.6
of the lower chamber.
14:24.4
This after Alvarez
14:26.4
for the armed forces
14:29.2
for President Marcos
14:30.4
citing the rising tensions
14:32.1
in the West Philippine Sea.
14:34.4
Now the House Committee
14:35.8
will tackle the issue
14:36.9
beginning this Thursday.
14:44.1
of the violations
14:48.0
Congressman Alvarez.
14:53.2
of the investigation
14:56.8
I just want to quote
14:58.9
in the complaint.
15:02.2
that there are apologies
15:03.8
given by Congressman Alvarez.
15:06.2
the damage has been done
15:12.1
This is the first
15:13.0
committee hearing
15:15.1
where the accuser
15:21.5
were the complainants
15:27.9
Philippine Senator
15:30.6
within his colleague
15:32.0
Ronald Bato de la Rosa's
15:35.6
the upper chamber's
15:37.0
PIDEA leaks probe.
15:39.6
is leading an investigation
15:41.1
into an unverified document
15:43.1
from the country's
15:44.3
anti-narcotics agency
15:46.9
links President Marcos
15:49.9
The investigation
15:52.2
of the House of Representatives
15:54.0
the Senate is losing
15:58.5
a questionable document.
16:04.4
anything helpful.
16:07.1
Pasa po nila yan.
16:08.6
Ako, basta may hearing,
16:11.1
para bigyang linaw
16:14.7
sa tamang direksyon
16:18.2
sa kung ano-anong
16:22.1
at halos wala na rin
16:26.2
na halos personal
16:31.8
nabas na lang sila
16:38.9
the House of Representatives
16:42.2
on proposed amendments
16:43.8
Tarification Law.
16:48.8
to sell affordable
16:49.8
rice to retailers
16:53.9
House Agriculture
16:54.6
Committee Chairman
16:57.4
this will stabilize
16:59.4
and address supply issues.
17:02.8
to his Senate counterpart
17:08.3
over the proposal.
17:13.2
to revisit the law
17:22.3
have been carefully
17:25.7
to affect the progress
17:28.1
in the rice industry.
17:34.1
lifts the suspension
17:50.9
necessary documents
17:52.5
from the accused.
17:54.9
there is no basis
17:59.1
the ongoing case.
18:34.8
of the suspension
19:30.8
na maliit yung mga ibang
19:32.5
hindi naman kasalay
19:34.3
doon sa sindikato
19:38.4
with the function
19:40.3
And where do you see
19:43.0
the lifting of that
19:43.7
suspension order?
19:44.8
Are you still confident
19:48.5
what you are claiming
19:50.2
some form of corruption
19:51.7
is existing in the agency?
20:13.1
8 billion last year
20:59.6
ang i-concentrate
21:17.4
supposed corruption
21:18.1
at National Food Authority?
21:59.3
distribute the rice.
22:08.8
instead of giving
22:09.5
the National Food Authority
22:12.3
be given to the President
22:15.6
so he can mandate
22:16.6
that as he wishes,
22:23.9
What is the danger
22:25.7
of giving that function
22:28.7
National Food Authority
22:29.8
the agency has been doing that
22:31.6
for a couple of years
22:33.0
already before it was
22:34.0
taken away from it?
22:38.3
they will not give
22:42.8
give the Secretary
22:51.0
in case of emergency
22:53.8
and the Secretary
23:01.5
the Rice Competitiveness
23:04.0
for another five years?
23:05.3
This is an ongoing discussion.
23:07.2
The House of Representatives
23:08.7
as well as our lawmakers,
23:14.4
even to supply stability
23:18.4
the Competitiveness Fund?
23:21.0
it should be extended
23:32.1
encourage the farmers
23:39.1
another five years.
23:44.1
discussions continue
23:45.0
with our lawmakers
23:49.0
to the Rice Tarification Law.
23:50.7
What are your inputs there?
23:53.8
we want to present
23:55.5
the tariff collected
23:58.6
is almost 30 billion.
24:06.3
based on 30 billion,
24:26.2
all of the discussions
24:28.5
are actually involving
24:31.1
the stopgap measures
24:32.1
to at least control
24:33.7
the price of rice.
24:35.1
looking long-term
24:36.1
and looking forward,
24:37.2
really enhancing agriculture,
24:39.2
improving food supply,
24:42.7
Are we addressing this
24:43.7
with equal importance
24:47.6
through importation?
25:14.9
an opportune time
25:16.2
because right now
25:17.1
actually we're entering
25:19.0
the so-called lean months
25:21.1
agricultural provinces.
25:27.0
we have so many factors
25:32.1
affected our rice
25:33.5
production already
25:37.5
how are you seeing things?
25:39.0
What's the outlook there?
25:43.5
between the output
25:57.3
the Latina coming
26:19.1
by saying that we can
26:26.2
very little effect
26:35.1
December traffic.
26:38.9
so President of SINAG,
26:39.9
thank you so much
26:46.1
declares he is ready
26:47.7
to return to politics
26:50.1
a new political party.
26:53.4
Dateline Philippines
28:55.5
quarantine methods
28:56.8
and we have allowed
28:58.7
more transportation
29:01.2
That's going to prove
29:05.4
the health protocols,
29:07.2
the ability of people
29:09.2
contribute better
29:23.4
Thank you for watching.
29:53.4
Thank you for watching.
30:23.4
Thank you for watching.
30:53.4
Thank you for watching.
30:54.4

32:28.3
Thank you for watching.
32:29.4
Thank you for watching.
32:31.5
Thank you for watching.
32:37.6
Mobility will be key
32:41.6
relaxed some of our
32:43.4
quarantine methods
32:44.7
and we have allowed
32:46.6
more transportation
32:49.1
That's going to prove
32:50.3
to be better for demand.
32:53.2
the health protocols, the ability of people
32:55.8
to move around will likely contribute
32:57.7
better to growth.
33:12.7
I liked to be a DJ
33:13.9
when I was a teenager. Really?
33:15.7
Who didn't? I was just
33:17.9
really pleasantly surprised
33:19.8
to get the call from someone in ABS
33:21.7
and saying, you know what? We have this show
33:23.9
in the pipeline and we want you to
33:25.9
co-host it with Anton Barreto.
33:28.0
Are you enjoying it? Do you like it?
33:29.5
I'm enjoying it simply because it's
33:31.8
something I'm passionate about.
33:33.6
Interior. So I get to meet different interior designers.
33:37.1
architects. I get to meet clients who are
33:39.7
passionate about design and I
33:41.6
understand the manufacturing side of it. It's like
33:43.6
a parallel work to me.
33:51.7
Welcome back, Dateline Philippines. Former Senator
34:05.5
Bam Aquino, all set to lead a
34:07.6
new political party for the
34:09.2
2025 midterm elections.
34:11.6
Aquino told ANC's Head Start
34:13.2
he left the Liberal Party back in
34:17.6
now serving as chairman of the Katipunan
34:19.7
ng Nagkakaisang Pilipinas.
34:21.7
Pilipino Party or KNP.
34:24.0
He said KNP was formed
34:25.6
in 2021 when they were preparing
34:27.5
for the presidential bid of
34:29.5
former Vice President Lenny Robredo.
34:32.4
And with a year to go
34:33.4
before the midterm polls, Aquino says
34:35.3
he's ready to return to politics.
34:39.7
After the elections, nag-usap-usap
34:41.7
sila. At this time, I was still
34:45.2
Itutuloy pa ba yung
34:46.2
partidong to? And sabi nila,
34:48.6
ang laki nang naipakita natin nung
34:50.1
kampanya. Hindi man tayo
34:51.7
wagi, pero yung paglabas
34:53.7
ng tao, yung klarong
34:55.5
paghangad ng tao for something better
34:57.4
in our country. Nakita natin, naramdaman
34:59.5
natin yan. Sayang naman kung mawawala.
35:01.7
And now that we're one year before
35:03.1
2025 and everyone's preparing
35:05.4
already, hiniling nila na maging chairman
35:07.6
ako ng partido. And I said yes.
35:09.2
Naghahandaan na kami at handaan na rin ako
35:11.4
bumalik sa larangan ng politika.
35:14.1
Aquino served as senator
35:15.5
from 2013 to 2019.
35:18.3
He failed to win his re-election
35:19.9
bid under the Otso
35:24.1
KNP is keen on forming
35:25.8
an alliance with President Ferdinand Marcos
35:27.8
Jr.'s Partido Federal ng
35:29.6
Pilipinas, this is Aquino's response.
35:34.1
Kung magkakaroon ng alliance,
35:36.0
para saan? Diba? Kung ang
35:37.7
alliance mo para lang sa eleksyon,
35:39.6
nakita natin within one and a half years,
35:42.2
wala na yan. Pero kung may alliance
35:44.1
para sa talagang kailangan ng
35:45.8
taong bayan, why not?
35:48.1
May mga issue tayo na mas mahalaga
35:51.7
mas mahalaga sa mga partido.
35:53.6
Kung yan ang batayan,
35:55.6
if we can really move our country forward,
35:57.5
maaangat natin yung bansa natin dahil magtutulungan,
36:00.3
why not? Pero right now,
36:02.0
nakikita natin, yung mga alyansa,
36:04.1
base lang sa kapangyarihan.
36:08.4
The Philippine Justice Department
36:10.2
defends government's
36:11.7
new human rights body amid
36:13.6
criticisms over its effectiveness.
36:15.9
The DOJ says the new council
36:17.6
is one of the Philippines' commitments
36:19.4
during the 75th anniversary
36:21.7
of the Universal Declaration on Human Rights
36:24.5
which happened in Geneva last year.
36:27.5
The agency believes
36:28.5
the new body will have a more
36:30.3
rational approach in addressing
36:32.4
human rights in the country.
36:38.2
nung pumunta po kami ni na
36:39.8
Executive Secretary
36:44.1
sa Geneva, doon po
36:46.1
ay nagbigay ang ating gobyerno
36:48.5
ng tatlong pledges. Ang isa doon
36:51.7
pagtatatag ng isang
36:53.5
coordinating body
36:56.0
para ipagpatuloy yung
36:58.1
human rights promotion and protection.
37:00.5
Instead na parang ginagabayan tayo
37:04.0
sa relinyon na natin.
37:05.4
We took ownership of it.
37:07.8
Ang Commission of Human Rights kasi
37:09.9
is a constitutional body.

Yan ay independent.

Siya ang mga siwa at siya yung parang
37:17.3
ng ating gobyerno.
37:20.3
Wala hong conflict.
37:25.8
customers of Meralco will see higher
37:27.6
electricity rates in their next power bill.
37:30.4
This comes after the power distributor
37:32.2
announced a 46 centavo
37:34.0
hike per kilowatt hour.
37:36.0
This means a typical household
37:37.6
consuming 200 kilowatt
37:40.0
hours per month will see a
37:41.5
92 peso increase in their
37:48.1
in Cebu also told to brace
37:49.8
for higher electricity rates.
37:51.7
For the next billing cycle,
37:53.5
Ani Perez now joins us with details on that.
37:59.2
Visayan Electric President Raul
38:01.1
Lucero announced today that they will add
38:03.3
an increase of 0.86 cents
38:05.5
per kilowatt hour for the next
38:07.3
billing cycle of May to June.
38:09.2
This means that from 11.28
38:11.6
pesos per kilowatt hour, which is the
38:13.4
current rate now, they will charge
38:15.5
12 pesos and 24 cents
38:17.5
per kilowatt hour.
38:19.1
The increase is attributed to high generation
38:21.3
rates due to price hikes
38:23.1
in the wholesale electricity spot
38:25.0
market in April due to power
38:27.1
supply concerns in the Visayas grid.
38:29.8
This means that for a household
38:31.2
with an average monthly consumption
38:32.9
of 200 kilowatt per hour,
38:35.1
they will have to pay an additional 172
38:37.5
pesos for their incoming bill.
38:39.9
Generation rates are passed
38:41.3
through charges that are paid to
38:43.0
power generation companies like Visayan
38:45.0
Electric through the wholesale electricity
38:47.2
spot market. Last April,
38:49.4
the National Grid Corporation of the
38:51.0
Philippines issued several yellow
38:53.0
and red alerts, especially in the Visayas
38:55.2
grid, due to power supply
38:57.1
issues. Based on reports,
38:59.0
several power plants were on forced
39:01.0
outage, which resulted
39:03.1
that diesel power plants,
39:05.4
which are more expensive,
39:06.9
operate. And compared to
39:09.1
coal power plants, these would
39:11.1
be asked to supply power to
39:13.1
meet grid requirements, causing high power
39:15.1
prices in the wholesale electricity
39:17.2
spot market. And we
39:19.1
remember that this also happened,
39:21.0
amid extreme heat in the
39:23.1
Visayas, which also increased the demand
39:25.0
for security. Lucero added
39:27.0
that President Ferdinand Marcos
39:29.2
Jr. also asked for suspension
39:30.9
from ERC on the western
39:33.0
spot market prices, but this would
39:35.1
not take effect yet for
39:37.0
the next billing cycle, so they have to
39:39.0
increase their prices for next month.
39:41.4
Thus, Visayan Electric, they are
39:43.1
encouraging consumers to
39:45.0
be wary of their power consumption to
39:46.9
avoid bill shock, and this could be done
39:48.9
by conserving energy, by using appliances,
39:51.0
only when needed. And that's the latest
39:53.2
here from Cebu, Annie Perez,
40:21.0
Angel's Pizza now
40:25.1
of the company's sales, and
40:27.1
he plans to make it the number one pizza
40:29.0
chain in the country in five years.
40:32.9
enjoying more of the capital
40:34.8
because that's where a lot of the
40:37.0
sales and the EBITDA
40:41.0
is coming from, and also the
40:43.1
growth potential.
40:45.1
Angel's Pizza now has nearly
40:48.8
while Figaro only has some
40:50.8
60 branches. Liu explains
40:53.2
they still plan to add
40:55.1
new Figaro cafes, but
40:57.0
the coffee business in the country
40:58.7
is no longer as lucrative
41:00.8
as before. Coffee
41:02.6
is a very competitive
41:04.6
industry and a very low
41:06.7
barrier to entry, right?
41:08.7
Anyone can just open a coffee shop
41:12.2
are actually, you're seeing people shying
41:14.8
away from large coffee
41:16.7
brands. The delivery business
41:18.9
has also grown significantly since the
41:20.8
pandemic, and Liu says among
41:22.8
all its restaurants, it is the
41:24.9
pizza business that has benefited
41:27.1
the most from delivery.
41:29.0
Over 50% of sales
41:31.1
of Angel's Pizza is via
41:33.0
delivery, but they also
41:34.8
want to expand its dine-in service
41:37.1
by offering party packages
41:40.6
Yung mga provincial usually
41:42.5
and meron din kami
41:45.2

41:46.8

BGC, nagkaroon na din ng mga
41:52.3
The group hit 1.3 billion pesos in revenues
41:55.0
in the first quarter of this year,
41:59.0
year. Jackie Pascual,
42:05.0
finance firm Home Credit also
42:06.8
planning to expand its reach to more
42:08.8
provinces in the Philippines as more Filipinos
42:10.7
lean towards installment purchases.
42:13.6
Jackie Pascual returns
42:18.8
company Home Credit Philippines,
42:20.8
is eyeing further growth this year
42:22.7
after hitting 10 million customers
42:24.7
in 2023, or 10 years
42:27.1
after it started its operations.
42:29.5
It says the company has
42:30.7
disbursed loans worth 320
42:34.4
since 2013, as more
42:37.0
Filipinos opt for installment
42:39.2
purchases. Home Credit
42:41.2
partners with shops,
42:42.9
mostly appliance and computer
42:44.8
stores, where customers may avail
42:47.0
to pay installment through the
42:50.8
Of course, the credit card and even
42:52.8
of course, formal banks,
42:55.0
formal bank accounts,
42:56.6
medyo hindi rin ganun kaganda yung penetration
42:58.7
natin sa Philippines. Kailangan pa rin talaga
43:02.9
ang access to credit,
43:05.2
especially if you're buying mga
43:06.8
items more than 5,000,
43:08.8
10,000 pesos. Mahirap talaga maglabas ng
43:10.7
isang bagsakan. In 2023
43:12.7
alone, 60 billion pesos of goods
43:14.9
were sold with the help of the company.
43:16.9
And half of the products sold
43:18.5
are mobile phones, a
43:20.5
favorite item among Filipinos.
43:23.1
But since March this
43:24.6
year, they have seen a significant
43:26.5
growth in the sale of air
43:28.7
conditioning units. That's over
43:32.8
per day. This was the time when
43:34.7
the stores were running out of air
43:38.6
happy to be part of
43:40.4
making it affordable
43:42.0
for those who can pay
43:44.6
for the loan and just that they can
43:48.6
in the hot summer in the Philippines.
43:50.5
Aside from air con, the company
43:52.5
says Filipinos use home credit
43:54.5
to purchase televisions,
43:56.3
refrigerators, and laptops.
43:58.7
But they say not all lenders
44:00.8
get easily approved.
44:02.5
We are not supporting
44:04.3
people in buying things that they cannot afford.
44:06.6
It needs to be responsible lending.
44:08.5
Non-performing loans of the company they say
44:10.4
is below 10%. They now
44:12.6
plan to expand to more provinces outside
44:14.7
Metro Manila where demand for
44:16.6
financing is growing.

Mobility will be key to recovery because we have relaxed some of our quarantine methods and we have allowed more transportation to come out.
45:32.2
That's going to prove to be better for demand.
45:35.5
If we do follow the health protocols, the ability of people to move around will likely contribute better to growth.
45:50.5
Thank you for watching!
46:20.5
Thank you for watching!

Another reason from the expected bonuses that we may receive during the year.
47:20.5
I do believe that in the world of luxury, and that is true for fashion, and that is true for watch and jewelry, and that is true for wine and spirits,
47:50.4
if you remain too much in the tradition, you become over the time dusted in the world.
47:56.5
If you are too much on the pure innovation side, you become short-lived.
48:01.6
So the art of luxury marketing is clearly to keep that balance right between being at the same time innovative and true to your roots.

A Filipino-American non-profit teams up with a health care provider in Virginia to bring mental health services to low-income and uninsured residents.
52:28.5
Monica Galoso has more.
52:32.8
Mental health crisis is a major issue that the world faces today.
52:37.2
According to the Worldwide Mental Health Foundation,
52:41.1
mental illness affects an estimated 950 million people worldwide,
52:46.1
and is the leading cause of disability across all age groups.
52:51.3
It's also the number one cause of suicide, which accounts for a staggering 800,000 plus deaths per year.
53:00.1
Filipino-American Juan Montero is a retired physician and humanitarian.
53:05.6
He says, while the U.S. government has done initiatives to address mental health problems,
53:11.2
there are still gaps in the marginalized and underserved communities.
53:16.1
Montero is the founder of Chesapeake Care Clinic,
53:20.7
a non-profit that provides quality medical and dental care to low-income and under-insured residents of Hampton Roads in Virginia.
53:30.3
He also established the internationally renowned Montero Medical Missions,
53:35.2
which recently collaborated with United Community Solutions,
53:39.5
a Chesapeake-based behavioral and mental care provider.
53:43.0
The cooperation aims to improve access,
53:46.1
access to mental and behavioral health care services to those in need,
53:50.6
just in time for Mental Health Awareness Month this May.
53:54.6
We can here put together something innovative,
53:59.4
something never been done in this country.
54:02.4
Put our heads together so that behavioral health challenges can be addressed.
54:11.1
Dr. Paul Aravich, meanwhile, is a neuroscientist,
54:14.6
and is Virginia's representative to the National Coalition on Mental Health and Aging.
54:20.8
He affirms that building collaborations such as this
54:24.0
is a public health approach needed to increase awareness,
54:28.2
improve resiliency training,
54:30.3
promote prevention,
54:31.4
and very importantly,
54:32.9
promote outcome data on addressing mental and behavioral health issues.
54:37.9
That's what I tell various congressional caucuses on Capitol Hill.
54:41.8
That's what I tell policymakers here in Virginia.
54:44.6
And I'd like to note that the largest minority group on Earth
54:48.5
is persons with disabilities, according to the United Nations.
54:52.4
And the most prevalent persons with disabilities
54:54.8
are those with psychiatric and neurological problems.
54:58.3
And many of the neurological problems also have behavioral problems.
55:02.7
Kimberly Jackson, founder and CEO of United Community Solutions,
55:07.6
says she is proud of this innovative partnership
55:10.5
with Montero Medical Missions and Chesapeake Care Clinic.
55:14.6
For her, it's about delivering holistic health care solutions
55:18.3
that prioritize mental, behavioral, and medical outreach,
55:23.4
something that was never done before.
55:25.8
Together, we will strengthen our advocacy
55:28.1
for equitable access to top-notch health care services for all.
55:33.7
And by doing so, we will stay ahead of the curve
55:37.0
by innovating and adapting to our community involvement needs.
55:44.6
Montero has helped improve access to health care
55:47.8
for people locally and throughout the world
55:51.0
for decades through the Chesapeake Care Clinic
55:53.6
and the Montero Medical Missions.
55:55.5
This recent collaboration with United Community Solutions,
55:59.4
he says, is a fulfillment of his dream
56:01.8
to make sure that no one is left behind,
56:05.1
especially in addressing mental and behavioral health problems
56:09.1
of those underserved.

An exhibit in Glendale, California
56:20.7
is putting the spotlight on the art of Filipino-Americans.
56:26.0
From stylized weavings like the Philippine Banig
56:29.0
to a giant paper origami boat, the Bangkang Papel,
56:32.7
the Forest Lawn Museum in Glendale, California
56:35.0
recently opened the exhibit Filipino-California,
56:38.3
Art and the Filipino Diaspora.
56:40.4
It brings the works of Filipino-American modern artists
56:42.9
and traverses diverse styles of art,
56:44.6
from paintings, drawings, to sculptures,
56:48.0
installations, conceptual art, and beyond.
56:50.8
The quality of the art was so good that it was easy
56:53.7
and it really came together in the gallery.
56:57.1
The artists were able to sort of take it over,
56:59.7
exploit every single nook and cranny of the gallery,
57:02.0
and it's been a lot of fun.
57:04.6
Seven artists were invited to showcase their unique pieces,
57:08.2
namely Eliseo Art Silva,
57:11.0
Anthony Francisco,
57:12.3
Mary Rose Cubarubias Mendoza,
57:17.8
All of them say the exhibition is a step closer
57:20.2
to achieving a bigger goal for all film artists.
57:23.5
It means that we're not narrowing the gap
57:26.5
of fulfilling our dream to have a Filipino-American museum
57:30.2
at the National Mall in D.C.
57:32.4
because it means that we have arrived, you know,
57:34.4
until our stories are valid enough to become works of art
57:37.4
and shown in American museums.
57:39.7
I feel we're not here yet.
57:42.0
One of the featured artists in the exhibition
57:44.2
is celebrated multi-awarded artist Anthony Francisco,
57:47.7
whose designs were part of some of Marvel movies' global blockbusters.
57:51.5
Francisco says there's much more in store
57:53.4
for Filipino-American representation in the near future,
57:56.4
and he wants to help achieve that.
57:58.5
One of my goals really is to put,
58:00.2
I guess, Filipinos on the map with a feature film I'm developing.
58:04.8
I think once that comes out,
58:06.3
and if that does really well,
58:07.8
then I'll feel like, yes,
58:10.0
it's like more, you know, I did more.
58:12.9
I can't take both,
58:14.1
but I'll take credit of every single leaving
58:15.5
because the process is also very community-based.
58:20.7
Filipino-California, Art in the Filipino Diaspora
58:23.5
runs until September 8th at the Forest Lawn Museum.
58:26.9
Its director, James Fishburne, says the exhibit is free
58:29.5
and is open to the public Tuesdays to Sundays
58:31.8
from 10 in the morning to 5 p.m.

In sports now, the top-seeded Boston Celtics
58:44.1
Away from returning to the NBA's Eastern Conference Finals,
58:47.7
Boston All-Stars Jason Tatum and Jalen Brown
58:51.0
combined for 60 points
58:52.9
as the Celtics walloped the Cleveland Cavaliers
58:56.1
109-102 in Game 4 of their match-off.
59:00.5
The Cavaliers, who are already playing
59:02.0
without starting center Jarrett Allen,
59:04.8
also missed their superstar, Donovan Mitchell,
59:07.7
who was sidelined with a calf injury.
59:10.3
The Celtics can close out the series
59:12.0
with another victory
59:13.4
in the NBA's Eastern Conference Finals.

artificial intelligence darling OpenAI

launches a new AI model,
59:37.3
is now capable of realistic voice conversation
59:40.8
where users can obtain real-time responses
59:46.1
During the launch on Monday,
59:47.5
OpenAI researchers also used ChatGPT 4.0
59:51.0
to analyze data on a graph,
59:53.7
provide real-time language translations,
59:56.0
and coach through a math equation.
60:00.9
Okay, so ChatGPT,
60:02.6
this is what I ended up with.
60:03.7
How does this look?
60:06.7
Now you've isolated the term with X on one side
60:09.6
and it looks like 3X equal 3.
60:12.7
What do you think we should do next?
60:14.0
X to solve for X.
60:16.2
Can you give me another hint?
60:21.5
and you want to find the value of X.
60:24.0
Think about what operation
60:25.2
would undo multiplication.
60:32.5
And that'll do it for today.
