Transcript

00:00 Live from the GeoMay Network Center, this is 24 Horas.

00:06 Good evening Luzon, Visayas and Mindanao.

00:11 The Pistons will be joining forces on Monday for three days.

00:17 They will be led by 100,000 jeepneys as a sign of the deadline

00:23 for the construction of a cooperative under the PUV Modernization Program.

00:28 Joseph Moro is on the scene.

00:30 PUV Pissac!

00:31 PIVASURA!

00:33 PIVASURA!

00:34 PUV PISSAC!

00:36 Starting on Monday, November 20, the Pistons will be joining forces for three days.

00:42 They want to stop the implementation of the PUV Modernization Program

00:46 that was set for the Jeepney Operator and Driver on the December 31 deadline

00:51 for the construction of a corporation or cooperative.

00:54 100,000 jeepneys are being built across the country.

00:58 In Metro Manila, up to 40 routes are possible to be lost by jeepney drivers

01:04 as well as those who pass through Monumento in Caloocan,

01:07 Baclaran in Paranaque and several places in Quezon City.

01:10 Some of the routes that may be affected by the transport strike on Monday

01:14 are the long routes of Commonwealth Avenue here in Quezon City

01:18 because some of the jeepneys that pass through here are members of the Pistons.

01:24 Edmond is an operator and has three jeepneys that pass through the Commonwealth.

01:29 He is discontent to consolidate because his jeepney's franchise will go to his corporation.

01:36 It's not in my name anymore, my franchise, my jeepney.

01:41 What will I own there? I don't have any ownership there.

01:44 How can a corporation or a jeepney that is worth 2 million pesos be lost?

01:50 They took my routes. What will I live on?

01:55 At the latest, only three out of every ten traditional jeepneys

01:59 are not able to consolidate unless they start the process.

02:04 Until December 31, their franchise will not have a visa on January 1.

02:08 There will be no extension.

02:10 If there is no registration, I will not be able to travel.

02:13 If they really register us,

02:15 there will be a big transport crisis on January 2024.

02:22 If we are not allowed to provide services to our people.

02:26 The LTFRB will do its best to encourage more jeepneys

02:30 to modernize so that the number of commuters will not be reduced.

02:36 For GMA Integrated News, Joseph Morong, Katutok 24 Hours.

02:42 Former President Rodrigo Duterte was sentenced by the Quezon City Prosecutor's Office

02:46 for his negligence to a congressman.

02:49 Tina Panganiban-Perez was in the court.

02:51 Former President Rodrigo Duterte and ACT Teacher's Party List Representative Franz Castro

03:01 were sentenced or faced by the Quezon City Prosecutor's Office

03:05 on December 4 and 11.

03:07 This is the case of grave threat that Castro faced against Duterte

03:12 because of the statements of the former president in a TV program

03:15 that put his life at risk.

03:18 This is his first time being sentenced and his first time being charged after he stepped down.

03:25 He cannot be a threat to the life of a person.

03:29 I am the only one who is questioning the confidential fund in the Congress.

03:34 So I am the only one.

03:37 Duterte was ordered to submit a counter affidavit and evidence.

03:42 I was nervous because I know that my opponent is powerful,

03:47 has resources, has influence.

03:50 I hope that my fellow countrymen who experienced that from the former president Duterte

03:57 will come out.

04:00 Castro hopes that Duterte will face them in the Quezon City Prosecutor's Office.

04:05 This is the right venue.

04:08 Not the use of illegal things like extrajudicial killings and other things

04:17 because we have the rule of law.

04:19 We are trying to get a reaction from Duterte's camp but they still have no response.

04:24 For GMA Integrated News,

04:26 Tina Panganiban Perez,

04:28 "Nakatutok 24 Horas."

04:31 It is rare to talk about but serious and requires decisive action

04:37 the increasing number of cases of young people who have HIV.

04:40 That is what the Health Department wants to address.

04:43 And "Nakatutok" is Maki Pulido.

04:45 Gina is 13 years old.

04:50 She did not have a real name when she was first diagnosed.

04:52 She was limited to a condom that she did not use.

04:54 She was forced to use dating apps and social media for transactions.

04:58 Once you chat someone that you're willing to have sex with them

05:04 as long as you agree that you want to have sex,

05:10 boom, something will happen.

05:13 Gina is 17 years old when she was diagnosed with HIV.

05:16 She knows about HIV but because she does not have a deep understanding of it,

05:21 she did not use protection.

05:23 I know that it is contagious but I am not aware that it is a snap.

05:31 If I had sex earlier, I would get that disease.

05:37 The Department of Health is worried about the increasing number of young people who have HIV.

05:42 Out of 50 new cases every day,

05:45 almost half are between the ages of 15 and 24.

05:48 More than 2,000 and 2,000 from January to May this year,

05:53 higher than almost 1,800 at the same time in 2022.

05:58 This is an issue that DOH and the Department of Education discussed.

06:03 There should be a lot of education that some diseases can be transmitted to risky behavior.

06:09 Aside from education in schools, according to the advocate, Kael,

06:13 it is also important to have a condom for young people when they are not judged.

06:18 If they really want to have sex, they will do that.

06:21 So instead of stopping them, why not giving them opportunity or access to protect themselves.

06:28 For GMA Integrated News, Mackie Polido, for 24 Hours.

06:33 Supporters met, as well as some releases,

06:38 President Bongbong Marcos who is in America for the Apex Summit.

06:41 He gave his appreciation for his participation in the gathering

06:45 with one of the biggest delegations there.

06:47 And it was revealed that Maris is back.

06:51 Maris.

06:53 Ivan, it's almost 3 o'clock in the early morning here in San Francisco, California.

06:59 And in a few hours, the 30th Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation or APEC Leaders Summit will start or open.

07:08 President Bongbong Marcos will attend, but before that, he will show up to the Filipino community.

07:14 After landing at San Francisco International Airport,

07:21 President Bongbong Marcos immediately went to the South San Francisco Conference Center

07:27 where Filipinos from different parts of America gathered.

07:31 Among the nights they brought to the President, Asian hate crimes and the topic of life.

07:36 Some of them are jobless maybe.

07:38 And then also, for their housing rate right now is too expensive.

07:42 So it's really hard.

07:44 The President recognized the hard work of Filipinos abroad

07:47 that is a part of the Philippine economy, especially if there is a crisis.

07:51 The Philippines is counting on the efforts of our OFWs.

07:57 In 2022, the health workers in the Philippines injected 4.89 billion dollars to the Philippine economy in cash remittances,

08:11 making the United States the Philippines' biggest single source of remittances.

08:17 He also thanked the President for his "halal" (lawful) treatment.

08:24 I will give you everything we can do to help the Philippines.

08:32 Join us.

08:33 Outside, Filipino rallyists brought the Filipino migrants

08:41 as a sign of their good and proper service to the consulates.

08:45 They also condemned the Apex Summit itself

08:48 because it is not favorable to some workers in Asia Pacific.

08:52 The President said it is important not only for the business and investment in the Philippines,

08:56 but also for him to attend the summit.

08:58 The Philippines is one of the biggest delegations in the rally.

09:02 There is a war in Ukraine, and now there is a war in Israel.

09:05 We have problems in the South China Sea.

09:10 It is important that we can talk to all our allies,

09:16 all our allies, all the countries that are helping us.

09:21 The trip will also help in the digitalization of government transactions,

09:25 where he will meet tech business leaders like Elon Musk and tech tech officials.

09:31 We will digitalize our government to make the work flow faster,

09:37 pay the tax, receive the salary, all of this.

09:46 Ivan, President Marcos will speak later at the Apex CEO Summit.

09:52 He will also lead the economic briefing for investors

09:57 on the current economic situation of our country

10:00 so that they can also be motivated to invest in our country.

10:02 That is the latest from San Francisco, California.

10:06 For GMA Integrated News, Maris Umali, KTOTALK, 24 hours.

10:10 Thank you very much, Maris Umali.

10:14 In America, President Bongbong Marcos is still attending the Singapore FinTech Festival or SFF.

10:22 Through a hologram,

10:24 where the President gave the need to be able to launch new technologies at the same time.

10:31 He also gave importance to sharing knowledge on the so-called

10:35 "saving for the financial sector", which is the main focus of the summit.

10:40 More than 500 exhibitors are expected to attend the SFF 2023,

10:45 which discusses the latest trend and challenge in the industry of financial technology around the world.

10:51 Aside from the rain of the airstrikes,

11:03 the literal rain of floods has also added to the number of people in Gaza.

11:09 That is why even the Filipinos who have already left,

11:12 but there are still some who are still left in Gaza.

11:15 And still live from Cairo, Egypt, Rafi Tima.

11:19 Rafi.

11:22 Vicky, three Filipinos are still living here in Cairo,

11:27 the one who is just getting married and her mother,

11:29 and the other Filipino who cannot leave her father because she has a medical condition,

11:34 she is not yet allowed to fly.

11:35 Meanwhile, Nadia and her husband have already returned home from the Philippines last night.

11:40 Nadia and Mahmoud were surprised to see that they have a ticket to go home to the Philippines

11:48 after only 24 hours in Cairo.

11:50 This is Nadia's passport.

11:52 So this is your ticket?

11:54 Yes.

11:55 So for you, this is your ticket, okay?

11:58 My ticket is already here as well.

12:01 We were shocked that we have our ticket tonight.

12:05 We thought we were going to get out of here.

12:07 Actually, we didn't take rest yet.

12:09 We still have no ticket.

12:11 But they are still worried for their mother, brother, and other relative of Mahmoud who was left in Gaza.

12:16 It's not only my family, all the people inside, actually.

12:20 Anyway, Alhamdulillah, for sure, God is with them.

12:25 Allah is with them, inshaAllah.

12:28 [Explosion]

12:30 Israel's operation there is still in progress.

12:33 More than 11,000 people have died.

12:40 Almost no one was able to escape the wounds and diseases

12:45 because Israel destroyed 25 out of 35 hospitals in Gaza.

12:49 Al-Shifa Hospital will bury more than 100 bodies there

12:54 so that the disease will not increase.

12:57 Because of the drinking water,

12:59 some residents were not able to bathe even though the rain was pouring down.

13:03 They are evacuating our houses.

13:05 Of course, this water is good for us.

13:08 There are people who use this water for drinking.

13:10 After cutting the sweet water, it is good for drinking.

13:15 But that is also a problem because there is no more water for many people

13:18 and it is still winter.

13:20 I pray every day for it not to rain.

13:22 We are living in tents.

13:24 Nothing that can protect us.

13:26 When the rain falls, we will drown.

13:28 The situation in fact is getting worse and worse every moment.

13:35 The embassies in the Rafa border crossing are returning to Cairo

13:48 because the Filipinos are not expected to go to the border crossing.

13:52 The Filipinos who are left in Gaza are in a safe place and not in the center of Bakbakan.

13:57 And that is the latest from Cairo, Egypt. Vicky?

14:01 Thank you very much, Rafi Tima.

14:03 An unconstitutional declaration was made by the former President Rodrigo Duterte

14:10 that is being led not by the public

14:13 but by the way the confidential fund of their agency is being spent.

14:16 Daniel Tincuco was involved.

14:21 More than 50 petitioners in the Supreme Court

14:24 demanded that a temporary restraining order be issued

14:26 and that the Executive Order No. 2 of the former President Duterte

14:30 and the Joint Circular 2015-01 be declared unconstitutional.

14:34 According to the group, these are the reasons why the government officials

14:38 are not letting the public know how and where the confidential funds were used.

14:43 Among the petitioners are the former Supreme Court Senior Associate Justice Antonio Carpio

14:48 and Attorney Howard Calieja.

14:50 The petition was the root of the controversy

14:52 regarding the spending of P125 million in the confidential fund

14:56 of the Office of the Vice President within 11 days.

15:00 On October 16, 2023, we filed a demand letter to the Office of the Vice President

15:08 for the copy of official records, documents and papers

15:14 regarding the disbursement and liquidation of confidential funds.

15:18 However, the OVP replied to us that these documents cannot be released

15:28 because they are covered by Privileged Communication

15:32 under Executive Order No. 2, Series of 2016 and Joint Circular of COA.

15:40 Executive Order No. 2 of Duterte

15:43 established rules on public disclosure and transparency in the Executive Branch

15:48 but also stated that access to information will not be allowed

15:52 if it is included in the exceptions established in the Constitution and laws.

15:57 The Joint Circular 2015-01

16:00 established rules on the use, circulation and audit of confidential and intelligence funds.

16:06 According to Carpio, the law passed by the Congress

16:10 can impose limitations on what can be disclosed to the public

16:14 in confidential and intelligence funds.

16:17 There is no such law now,

16:19 and because Executive Order No. 2 and Joint Circular 2015-01 are not considered laws,

16:24 this cannot be a reason for the public not to know where the funds went.

16:29 This boils down to public funds are being used for a confidential purpose.

16:35 Even if it's confidential, the Constitution says

16:38 the people have a right to know and the public officials have a duty to fully disclose

16:44 unless there is a law providing for reasonable limits.

16:50 There is no law.

16:51 Among the respondents were Vice President Sara Duterte,

16:55 Executive Secretary Lucas Bersamin,

16:57 Senate President Juan Miguel Subiri,

16:59 House Speaker Martin Romualdez,

17:01 several Cabinet Secretaries and other officials.

17:04 The Court also requested Vice President Duterte to give a warning to petitioners

17:10 on how the 2022 confidential funds of the OVP were spent.

17:14 The group clarified that the petition is not only limited to the Office of the Vice President,

17:19 but also to other government agencies that use confidential funds.

17:23 We are still continuing to collect statements from Vice President Duterte and other respondents.

17:29 For GMA Integrated News, I'm Dano Tincun, and this is "Katutok 24 Horas."

17:33 [News clip]

17:35 The police faced a suspect in the camp Krame after a beauty contestant left the camp,

17:40 the chief of the PNP and the director of CIDG.

17:44 He admitted that they have a relationship with the victim,

17:46 and according to CIDG, he was once accused of being a murderer.

17:50 And Jun Veneracion was found guilty.

17:52 [News clip]

17:56 Inside the official residence of the chief PNP in Camp Krame,

18:00 General Benjamin Acorda Jr. and CIDG Director Romeo Caramat,

18:06 Major Alan De Castro is the primary suspect in the disappearance of the beauty pageant candidate, Catherine Camilon.

18:13 We faced him this morning, and he admitted that they have an illicit relationship with Ms. Camilon.

18:27 This is the first time that De Castro heard about the disappearance of a beauty pageant contestant.

18:34 But within 30 minutes of the conversation inside the so-called White House in Camp Krame,

18:39 Major Alan De Castro did not say anything about the disappearance of his ex-girlfriend.

18:45 When we asked him if he was involved in the disappearance of Ms. Camilon,

18:51 he only told the chief PNP that he's right to remain silent.

18:59 De Castro did not force him to speak.

19:03 He apologized to the chief PNP for dragging the PNP organization,

19:10 that the organization is involved.

19:12 The chief PNP accepted his apology.

19:19 De Castro was charged with kidnapping and serious illegal detention.

19:23 His driver and bodyguard, Jeffrey Magpantay, and two others were charged with the disappearance of Camilon.

19:29 CIDG is now looking for Camilon, who has been missing for two weeks.

19:34 The chief PNP has a marching order to exert all our efforts to locate Ms. Camilon,

19:46 whether alive or dead.

19:49 Based on the conversation of CIDG Region 4A with Camilon's family,

19:53 it was found out that the victim complained about her illness to De Castro.

19:59 Camilon also had a chance to talk to De Castro's wife about their relationship.

20:07 He also recovered 17 hair strands and 12 swabs of blood samples from the vehicle

20:14 where Camilon was said to have been stabbed while bleeding.

20:18 In our initial evaluation, in compliance with the Department Circular 20,

20:23 we found prima facie evidence for the crime of kidnapping and serious illegal detention.

20:32 The prosecution accepted it and the case will undergo a preliminary evaluation.

20:41 For GMA Integrated News, Jun Veneracion, 24 Hours.

20:46 Good evening, Kapuso.

20:59 Even though the Philippine Area of Responsibility is not yet in place,

21:02 we are monitoring the low-pressure area.

21:04 The situation is already bad in some parts of the country.

21:08 In Oriental Mindoro, heavy rainfalls have caused heavy rainfall.

21:13 Some houses were flooded and some farms and roads were flooded.

21:19 Some places were flooded with rain.

21:23 The wind and rain were also strong in Daetka Marines Norte.

21:27 But, Kapuso, those rains were not caused by the LPA but by the shear line

21:33 that is now reaching Southern Luzon.

21:35 The LPA is still outside the FAR and it was last seen at a distance of 1,265 kilometers

21:42 east of Southeastern Mindanao.

21:45 It is said that it is possible that the FAR will enter tomorrow or on Friday.

21:49 The chance of it being a storm is still there and it is expected to come

21:54 or it will pass through Eastern Visayas or Mindanao this weekend.

21:59 For now, it has no direct effect on the country.

22:02 But, aside from the shear line that is causing rain in some parts of the country,

22:06 the AMIHAN is also continuing to flood Northern and Central Luzon.

22:10 Because of the AMIHAN, it is still dangerous to sail in some towns of Luzon and Visayas, Kapuso.

22:17 Based on the data of Metro Weather, some parts of Mindoro provinces will still be flooded tomorrow.

22:23 Heavy rain is expected there, so be prepared for flooding or landslide.

22:28 Rain is also possible in some places in Cagayan, Isabela, Aurora, Quezon, and Bicol Region.

22:35 Visayas also have heavy rain in Leyte and Samar provinces,

22:40 as well as in some parts of Cebu and Bohol, Negros provinces, and Aklan.

22:46 Heavy rain is also expected, so residents should be careful.

22:50 Rain will be in Mindanao almost all day tomorrow, especially in the afternoon.

22:54 Among those are Zamboanga Peninsula, Barm, Sok Sarjen, Davao Region, and Caraga.

23:01 Heavy to intense rains are also expected, so be prepared for flooding or landslide, Kapuso.

23:06 Here in Metro Manila, like earlier, it is possible that it will rain again tomorrow.

23:11 So, let's check our bags first, if there are raincoats or raincoats before we go out of the house

23:17 so that we can be more prepared, especially for our commuters and motorists.

23:22 That's all for the latest weather updates.

23:24 I'm Maureen Schreibers for GMA Integrated News Weather Center.

23:28 We are your hosts, no matter what the weather.

23:31 MMBA Special Operations Chief Bong Nebrija was suspended after he mentioned Senator Bong Rebilla,

23:39 a former convoy that passed through EDSA busway.

23:42 The senator denied the allegation because he is in Cavite and not in EDSA,

23:46 which is likely to happen again.

23:48 Mark Salazar and Jonathan Andad were there.

23:52 Based on hearsay, you will destroy the senator.

24:01 I have no intention of that.

24:03 Senator Bong Rebilla and Bong Nebrija's face was hot in front of the MMDA Senate earlier.

24:10 The MMDA reported that a convoy that passed through EDSA busway was a Lulandi Umano.

24:19 But when it came to the Senate, Nebrija admitted that they were wrong

24:23 and that Rebilla was not the driver of the convoy that passed through EDSA busway.

24:28 Sir, that's it.

24:29 Then, the VIP treatment, you will say that you will let go.

24:34 You should have stopped it.

24:35 Yes, sir. That's my fault.

24:37 Why did you mention my name in the media?

24:39 Sir, that's what I'm reporting.

24:41 I hope you verify it first.

24:42 Sir, that's what I did.

24:44 You mentioned it in the radio.

24:45 Sir, I didn't interview you. I didn't say anything like that.

24:50 I was just there and I was reporting. I heard you.

24:55 Nebrija said that he personally did not see who was the driver of the senator's alleged vehicle

25:01 because he is far from here.

25:03 It was reported to him by their enforcer.

25:06 We are just human beings. We all make mistakes.

25:09 If my enforcer made a mistake, I will be the one to answer for it.

25:14 The so-called enforcer, Gaet Mani Revilla, is not with the Senate.

25:18 He was in Cavite this morning when the news broke.

25:21 So it's impossible that he was in EDSA at that time.

25:24 MMDA Chairman Romando Artes intervened and announced that

25:28 Nebrija was suspended for half or up to a month starting tomorrow while they are investigating the incident.

25:35 Colonel Bong's mistake was that he told Senator Revilla not to cover up.

25:46 He told him to run.

25:49 Unfortunately, there was a media beside Colonel Bong who heard that.

25:55 That's what spread.

25:58 MMDA is now tracing who is the owner of the alleged vehicle with a protocol plate

26:03 and why Senator Revilla's name was leaked.

26:06 They are now looking for the CCTV footages and if they find it,

26:11 they will report it to the LTO to issue a show-cause order and to be punished.

26:16 In the end, Revilla accepted Nebrija's apology.

26:19 Again, I'm sorry. Apology accepted. Thank you.

26:24 Thank you, sir.

26:25 Senator Bong Revilla will not continue his plan to recall the MMDA budget.

26:31 It's not the fault of the whole agency but the fault of a few people.

26:35 In the operation of MMDA from 6 to 11 this morning,

26:41 87 motorcycles and 68 cars were caught illegally passing through the EDSA busway.

26:48 This vehicle has a plate number 8 with a protocol plate for a congressman.

26:54 Based on the vehicle's papers, it is registered to a Christopher Koh.

26:59 It can be seen on the protocol plate that this is the 17th congress from 2016 to 2019.

27:05 Based on the camera footage, there is a Christopher Koh who was laughed at by the Ako Bicol Party list at that time.

27:12 When we took a look at Koh's statement, he said that the vehicle was not his.

27:17 He also said that he never used a special plate even during his time in office.

27:24 The Office of the Secretary General of the House of Representatives said that

27:29 they did not release or authorize official plates for the vehicles of congressmen.

27:35 They will catch those who use the number 8 plate and will confiscate expired plate numbers.

27:42 In the memorandum letter of the Department of Transportation to the MMDA,

27:46 it clarified those who can use the EDSA busway.

27:50 These are buses in the EDSA carousel, on-duty emergency vehicles, and on-duty official vehicles of the PNP.

27:59 For the government officials, only 5 are allowed, the President, Vice President, Senate President, Speaker of the House, and Chief Justice.

28:09 For GMA Integrated News, Mark Salazar and I am Jonathan Andal.

28:15 We have been tuned in for 24 hours.

28:19 To those who are looking for a place to spend Christmas,

28:24 you can go to the beautiful Christmas Bazaar in Marikina City.

28:29 But, along with planning for a walk,

28:32 they also prepared a gift for the expected end of the tropical holiday season.

28:38 The one who is tuned live is Oscar Oida.

28:41 Oscar.

28:45 Emil, if you're going to Marikina, why don't you try their Christmas Bazaar?

28:52 You'll be full of food and your eyes will be full of beautiful Christmas decorations.

29:00 Are you looking for a Christmas feast?

29:06 Come to Marikina Christmas Bazaar, open from 10 am to 10 pm.

29:12 You'll be full of food, from delicious snacks to delicious dishes.

29:19 And if you're looking for a gift,

29:22 you can get rid of their high-quality shoes that can fit a pocket.

29:28 You can take a selfie on the Instagramable Giant Shoe Display.

29:32 But they have already prepared themselves for going to different places this holiday season.

29:39 In EDSA and nearby streets where there are more than 30 malls,

29:44 they expect 15% increase in the volume of vehicles.

29:48 There's no choice because we have to work, so we'll just face the traffic.

29:53 We'll go back to coding all day.

29:56 Especially if you go to Makati in the morning, it's long.

29:59 It's two hours from here to Quezon de Cebu.

30:02 As part of the MMDA's plans to ease the traffic, the adjusted mall hours in Metro Manila are until January 8.

30:10 From 11 am to 11 pm to avoid rush hour.

30:15 The Metro Manila Council also formally launched the Single Ticketing System earlier.

30:20 We have been organized in the system, in the ticketing devices, and also in the payment platforms.

30:28 This is a huge step for the system of traffic in Metro Manila to be adjusted.

30:36 The penalties for violations in the whole Metro Manila are now equal.

30:41 Licenses no longer need to be surrendered and you can pay on the spot to the enforcer who caught you through various digital platforms.

30:51 That's better for me because the payment is centralized.

30:56 It's more chaotic. Maybe they'll call for corruption.

31:01 For the next few minutes, the bazaar goers are very busy here in Marikina listening to the performers.

31:11 It is expected to continue until 10 pm.

31:14 The traffic is still in order around the area, particularly here in Maysiu Avenue.

31:19 Emil?

31:20 Thank you very much, Oscar Oida.

31:32 The Filipinos who arrived from Gaza are feeling joy and sadness.

31:37 They are happy because they are safe but they are also sad because they left their loved ones in a place of war.

31:44 JV Soriano is live.

31:51 Emil, some Filipino nationals and their Palestinian wives are going through the process here in Nail Terminal 3.

31:58 They just returned to the Philippines today after their trip from Egypt and their escape from Gaza.

32:06 The Filipino Nadia and her Palestinian husband, Mamud, returned to the Philippines today.

32:16 They witnessed the GMA Integrated News within a month in Gaza

32:22 where they showed us their devastating situation there in the ongoing war between Israel and Hamas.

32:30 They are very thankful to the Philippine government for their concern and help to cross the Rafah border crossing,

32:39 to arrive in Cairo, Egypt and to return to the Philippines.

32:44 The term "joy" is different.

32:47 I don't know if I will be happy in the future because our family is still in Gaza.

32:56 If the war doesn't stop, I can't say I'm really happy but I'm very grateful.

33:02 The Philippine Embassy in Egypt, the vice consul, he did his best to be my name on the list.

33:09 I'm still also thankful for these things.

33:12 But in the same situation, I'm still sad because all my family is still remaining there.

33:19 Until now, I don't know what really happened to them.

33:23 The Filipino Palestinian, Amira, who is a laboratory analyst in a hospital in Gaza, is also with the Palestinian wife and child.

33:33 Even though she is far from the war, Amira's Filipino mother was left in Gaza because she was not given security clearance or the Palestinian father was included in the list.

33:45 I'm concerned about my family. I'm still concerned about them.

33:49 But despite this, they will experience in the Philippines tonight, no bombs are being dropped and they are worried if they will still be alive.

34:00 The war is very, very, very difficult and the situation in Gaza Strip is very hard.

34:06 In total, more than 100 Filipino nationals and Palestinian wives have left Gaza and returned to the Philippines or are in Egypt since the repatriation started.

34:25 And Emil, dear viewers, almost all the Filipino nationals in Gaza said that they wanted to leave Gaza and have already arrived in the Philippines or have not been left in Egypt,

34:35 except for a few who said that they will remain in Gaza despite the chaos, despite being a Filipino mother.

34:42 And that's the latest. Let's go back to you, Emil.

34:44 Thank you very much, JP Soriano.

34:51 Just in time for Christmas, the news is connected again with Marian Rivera and Heart Evangelista.

34:57 But the fans are asking, is it possible that the two will soon collab? Let's talk to Nelson Canlas.

35:04 In 2011, there was an issue between the prime time queen, Marian Rivera, and the global fashion icon, Heart Evangelista

35:18 in their film "Temptation Island".

35:21 More than a decade later, a good news was the subject of a heated discussion in Heart's recent interview.

35:32 I don't want it to be anything that's for publicity because something like that should be from your heart.

35:39 And you know, Marian and I, we've always liked each other. And it's a true testament that queens should always be supporting each other.

35:49 Marian's answer is...

35:52 My heart is happy. And I'm in a peaceful state.

35:55 That finally, everything is in God's perfect time.

35:58 Maybe whatever we're talking about behind, maybe it's just a lie to us because it's too personal for us.

36:06 With the help of some relatives and close friends, the two are now united again.

36:13 So I guess it's just a matter of time. And honestly, I really appreciate her for...

36:19 She has a very strong character, but I really appreciate her kindness and her... just her heart.

36:29 In our life now, it's better if you're peaceful and happy everyday.

36:33 You're not avoiding anything. And I said, God is really kind. He will give you what's good for you.

36:39 But is everything ready for their collab?

36:45 I don't know because she's busy. But I think for me, what's important is in the real world, we're okay. And that for me is a true queen.

36:57 Collab? I think we're both not going to sleep because I'm not going to sleep either.

37:03 But in time, for sure, we'll see each other in time. So there's a lot of chances.

37:06 But will you give it a try to work together in a project?

37:09 Why? Why not? Of course. Sure.

37:11 Nelson Canlas, updated on Shoebiz Happening.

37:18 And that's my chika this Wednesday night. I'm Ia Adeliano. Miss Vicky, Van, Emil.
