David Corenswet, the new Superman, added that director James Gunn and the rest of the cast and crew help alleviate the challenges on set. 'I think your focus goes to like, great, I want to show up for these people, I want to do good work for these people,' David said.

Road safety group calls for 30 kph speed limit in urban areas
The Department of Health (DOH) is calling for stricter implementation of laws involving road safety, while a road safety advocacy group called for a lower speed limit on urban roads. According to the DOH, road accidents are the fifth leading cause of death in the country, and the top cause of death for children to 29 years of age. 'Tumaas pa from 2022 to 2023 ang road deaths so ako, to me, baka lax 'yung ating implementation,' DOH Secretary Teodoro Herbosa said in a report by Bernadette Reyes on GMA's '24 Oras Weekend' on Sunday. 'Isa 'yun sa mga dapat gawin, enforcement. May batas na. The laws are there, but enforcing of the law,' he added. (Road deaths increased further from 2022 to 2023 so to me, maybe the implementation is lax… That is one of the things that has to be done, enforcement. There are already laws. The laws are there, but enforcing the law.) For its part, the Move as One Coalition is calling for the government to implement a 30-kilometer-per-hour speed limit in urban areas, which it says could lessen fatalities. 'Thirty kilometers per hour speed limit in urban roads is the number one recommendation. Bakit? Ni-research nila [They researched it] and they found it will actually reduce road fatalities by about 40%. Ang laking bagay nito [This is a big thing],' co-convenor Robert Siy said in the same report. GMA Integrated News is trying to reach the MMDA for comment. — Jon Viktor D.

Woman nabbed for online sexual exploitation of children, including daughter
A 38-year-old woman was arrested in Las Nieves, Agusan del Norte last Wednesday for allegedly selling lewd photos and videos of three children, including her own daughter. The woman was arrested by authorities in her residence on Wednesday afternoon, where authorities said they found a "showroom" where she would make the children—her 13-year-old daughter and the daughters, aged 13 and eight, or her live-in partner—dance and perform "live shows" for customers, mostly located overseas. Authorities said they found materials saved in her gadgets, for which she would charge customers thousands for access. 'Sa kaniyang residence mismo ay may ginawa siya na showroom kung saan niya ine-entertain 'yung mga foreign nationals na mga customers niya at doon niya ipinapasayaw or ipinapakita itong mga tatlong minor victims na na-rescue natin,' a representative of the Buenavista Municipal Police Station said in a report by Bea Pinlac on GMA's '24 Oras Weekend' on Sunday. (She made a showroom in her residence where she would entertain her foreign customers by showing the three minors, whom we have rescued, and have them dance.) The woman is now in the custody of the Buenavista Municipal Police, and is set to face charges of child abuse, human trafficking, and online sexual abuse and exploitation of minors. She has claimed innocence. The police said they are also investigating the woman's live-in partner, and looking deeper if he is also connected to the scheme. — Jon Viktor D.

Floods, lack of equipment in some schools ahead of Balik Eskwela 2025
Several schools across the country were flooded on Sunday, a day before the opening of School Year 2025-2026, with some reporting a lack of facilities such as tables and chairs. At least five classrooms in Frances Elementary School in Calumpit, Bulacan have been submerged by the floods, some of which have had their ceilings collapsed, following the recent rains and the high tide, as reported by Katrina Son on GMA's '24 Oras Weekend' on Sunday. Floods have also hit Doña Damiana De Leon Macam Memorial Elementary School, where administrators have put up makeshift pathways for students to avoid the water. The water level in the area rose past 2 p.m. on Sunday, June 15, and is expected to wane down during the evening. Freddie Pareñas Collado, a teacher at the Roberto E. Madayag Child Development Center in Kiamba, Sarangani was also forced to stack the tables and chairs in his classroom to higher ground, as the surrounding areas have been flooded. In Cebu, teachers of the Don Vicente Rama Memorial Elementary School have continued to prepare for the school year, but have reported a lack of tables and chairs. They will temporarily use old chairs, monobloc chairs, and folding tables for the meantime. GMA Integrated News is still trying to reach out to the Department of Education (DepEd) for comment on the matter. In Dagupan City, meanwhile several public schools will implement class shift schedules due to classroom shortages and flood-prone areas made worse by the rainy season and high tide. Dagupan City has 31 public elementary schools and eight public high schools, including three integrated schools. However, many students will have no classrooms to use when classes open, according to the Schools Division Office. 'There's a lot of shortages sa classroom natin,' Dr. Rowena Banzon, Schools Division Superintendent, said. Some schools will adopt shifting schedules not only because of limited space, but also due to flooding caused by the rainy season and rising tides. Schools are prioritizing the use of flood-free classrooms for student safety. In Quezon City, one school was hit not by flood but by fire. A fire broke out at San Francisco High School in Barangay Bagong Pag-asa at around 11 a.m. Sunday morning, with firefighters able to declare the fire out at 11:58 a.m. According to Vonne Aquino's report on 24 Oras Weekend, the fire resulted in some P3 million worth of damage. Twenty rooms were affected, including 11 classrooms, a conference hall, the library, and other areas. Firefighters and school staff worked together to get some equipment out of the affected buildings. The start of classes will proceed on Monday, but in the school's covered court, the report said. Over 37,000 police officers are expected to be deployed by the Philippine National Police (PNP) for the opening of classes on Monday. The academic year will run from June 16, 2025 until March 31, 2026, marking the return to the pre-pandemic school calendar. — Jon Viktor D. Cabuenas/BM, GMA Integrated News
