00:00 [News Anchor]
00:07 Good morning. Here are the first news of GMA Integrated News.
00:11 Three hours of power outage at Terminal 3 of Ninoy Aquino International Airport earlier this morning.
00:18 That is a scheduled power interruption that is part of the upgrade of the electrical system of the airport.
00:25 Even though the Manila International Airport Authority is preparing a generator set,
00:30 passengers are still worried because of the lack of air conditioning system and the failure of the escalator.
00:35 That is the first news of Nico Juagen.
00:37 12.01am, a scheduled power interruption started at IA Terminal 3.
00:46 That is part of the electrical maintenance to upgrade the electrical system of the airport.
00:51 Mayor Alcon is doing an upgrade of the power cable to enhance the overall reliability of the electricity in IA Terminal 3.
00:58 The operation did not stop and the flight was not affected, but passengers were still affected.
01:05 Some are worried because of the lack of air conditioning system, like Faye who has a flight to Iloilo.
01:11 It's hot. I'm just worried. It's really hot.
01:16 I thought that we, the foreigners, can handle the heat.
01:21 But the foreigners are a bit embarrassed because of the experience.
01:24 She doesn't know that the electricity will be cut off.
01:27 Actually, I was surprised earlier because I thought that because it's a sunny day, there's no electricity.
01:32 But it turns out that there's no power.
01:35 Some are carrying their own luggage while climbing stairs because the escalator is not working.
01:41 The elevator is working but only a few are using it because of the luggage.
01:46 Dylan from Australia is carrying two bags while climbing stairs.
01:50 He has been to many airports, but this is the first time he experienced this.
01:55 What can you say?
01:57 It's inconvenient.
02:00 Yeah, it's a lot of steps to take heavy luggage up.
02:04 Yeah, it's hot in here, so definitely working up a sweat.
02:08 There are generators that are used to continue to run more important facilities.
02:13 According to the MIAA, maintenance should be done at this time to avoid causing more passengers to be affected.
02:20 At 3 o'clock in the early morning, when the electricity is back in IEA Terminal 3,
02:25 until December 13, power-related maintenance work will be carried out in the airport.
02:30 This is the first news, Niko Juaje for GMA Integrated News.
02:35 Jimmy Pacheco is very grateful to the Filipino Philippine Embassy of Hamas for his help in Gaza.
02:42 He did not expect that he will be able to return home alive.
02:46 When I was still in the city of Gaza, I had no hope of returning home alive.
02:52 I had no hope of returning to my family.
02:56 I prayed to God first, then to my children.
03:03 I prayed to God, then to my children.
03:06 Pacheco also told us that the day he was released, he thought he would just move to another place.
03:13 He is also very grateful to the government of Israel and to our embassy for their help in getting him released.
03:19 He is now in a good condition.
03:21 Pacheco is happy that he will be able to celebrate Christmas in the Philippines after six years of working in Israel.
03:31 The National Government and National Democratic Front of the Philippines signed an agreement on the return of peace talks.
03:37 It happened in Oslo, Norway on November 23, four years after former President Rodrigo Duterte stopped the talks.
03:44 For the government, this is just the first step towards long-term peace, so the rebel groups are still fighting.
03:51 The NDFP will form their peace panel.
03:55 The issues discussed are the return of the terrorist nation to the New People's Army and the release of its imprisoned members.
04:03 Personally, there is that kind of commitment and also there is a kind of goodwill on both parties to continue to discuss some principled resolution to end the armed conflict.
04:23 We are very confident that after this joint statement, we can finally end up with the final peace agreement.
04:30 We are open to having the work of both sides to continue and bear fruit.
04:39 After six long years, there seems to be a light at the end of the tunnel.
04:46 But then I would point out that the tunnel itself is a very long winding and tortuous tunnel.
04:55 So there's a lot of work that has to be done in order to reach the end, the light.
05:03 The Christmas Convoy of this group in the West Philippine Sea continues its plan.
05:09 According to the group, there are already 100 civilians who want to join the Christmas supply to fishermen and soldiers guarding the island.
05:18 But they will not go directly to the BRP Sierra Madre to avoid the tension there.
05:24 They will just collect the Christmas supplies in Pag-asa Island and will just bring it to the BRP Sierra Madre for the next resupply mission.
05:32 The group will talk to the Philippine Coast Guard and AFP Western Command to plan the route of the 40 ships that will join the Christmas Convoy.
05:43 The issue of our rights and sovereignty is not only the duty of the government, but also the duty of the people.
05:55 We want to help our fellow countrymen, including the Coast Guard, because they are the ones who are in the front line.
06:04 This is a historic event and an opportunity to be able to stand in solidarity with the fisherfolk, to let them know that they are not alone.
06:14 The group of fishermen who joined the National Bike to Work Day went to work with several government officials.
06:23 Live from Quezon City, we have the first news, Mico Juahe. Mico.
06:28 Ivan, good morning. If there's anything that can end the pandemic for many Filipinos, it's the many who learn to ride a bicycle to get to their jobs like you, Ivan.
06:43 Because there's no choice at that time, because there's no public transportation, but the no-choice people are now riding their bicycles every day to get to their jobs.
06:55 Today, we are celebrating National Bike to Work Day.
06:59 As a doctor, we became allies with Dr. Niel Salarda during the pandemic to fight COVID-19.
07:10 But to do his job and service, he needed allies.
07:15 And that is his bicycle that he used to go to his clinic during the pandemic.
07:21 I continued to ride my bike during the pandemic of 2020.
07:25 Because my clinic in Manila, and I live here in QC, more than 15 kilometers one way.
07:32 During that time, there was no vehicle. I experienced walking, it was a bit difficult.
07:38 So I rode my bike to work every day, I went home. I continued that, almost one year.
07:44 You don't have a personal car, sir?
07:46 I have a car, I have a motorcycle, but during that time, I didn't have one.
07:51 The pandemic is over, but Dr. Niel's bicycle ride is still going on. It also helped his health.
07:59 That exercise, previously, from 100 kilograms of sir, so diet and exercise and active lifestyle, it became 70 kilograms, sir.
08:08 72, I lost 30 kilograms in that healthy lifestyle, sir.
08:13 Emma also felt the effect on her body when she started riding her bike during the pandemic.
08:18 It's big, because you become active, and your health, you really feel that your body is different.
08:29 I bought my bike for errands only, because you can't ride a tricycle, right?
08:34 We don't have transportation means, nothing. So I started using my bike during the pandemic.
08:44 Today, National Bike to Work Day was held in the presence of the Department of Health.
08:49 Early this morning, some of our countrymen gathered to ride their bikes to work to get a ride.
08:54 In the presence of DOH Secretary Ted Herbosa, those who rode their bikes from Sentry in Quezon City to Lung Center of the Philippines.
09:06 Ivan, around 7 o'clock earlier, cyclists went to Lung Center of the Philippines, which reached 150.
09:14 Earlier, DOH Secretary Ted Herbosa also spoke and said that this exercise is to promote road safety.
09:23 Of course, many Filipino workers are encouraged to be healthy by riding their bikes.
09:30 Live from Quezon City, I'm Nico Juaje for GMA Integrated News.
09:36 The police said that the gunmen were involved in a live-in partner inside a bus in Caranglan, Nueva Ecija.
09:43 According to the PNP, they already have the names of the two gunmen and the masterminds of the crime.
09:49 The motive for the gunmen was also mentioned, but they will not release it to the public yet.
09:54 In an investigation, the two gunmen were released on gun-for-hire.
09:57 They were also involved in another incident of gunmen.
10:00 The CCTV footage of the two gunmen went viral in a live-in partner inside a bus.
10:08 Aside from the two gunmen, we will also include names mentioned in the case.
10:19 We don't want to preempt the official announcement because the masterminds might suddenly disappear.
10:28 Some places in the country experienced a severe weather in the past few days.
10:34 Residents of Marangay Tambobong in Davao City were surprised to experience a hail storm.
10:43 A netizen caught sight of small ice cubes that were as big as a corn cob.
10:49 The hail storm lasted for almost 15 minutes.
10:52 The visibility in Tagbilaran City in Bohol was almost zero due to the rain.
10:58 Tagbilaran Port and Panglao Island were not visible due to the heavy rain.
11:02 According to the weather forecast, it will be the end of Easter and a mild wind.
11:06 Due to the bad weather, landslides occurred in Natonin Mountain Province.
11:10 Some houses were also damaged.
11:13 Clearing operations for the affected roads are still ongoing.
11:19 The Philippines ranked 98th out of 142 countries in terms of generosity or giving based on the World Giving Index 2023.
11:28 It is the year of the Global Study conducted by the Charities Aid Foundation,
11:33 a charity organization based in the United Kingdom.
11:36 In the last study, the Philippines got an index score of 34.
11:42 It is low compared to the global score of 39.
11:46 We have a huge drop in the global rankings compared to the last year when we were top 20 in the global ranking.
11:55 57% of respondents in the Philippines said they helped a stranger.
12:01 Only 12% said they donated money to the charity.
12:06 33% said they volunteered in an organization.
12:12 Does this mean that Filipinos are generous?
12:17 Tina's mother said she has experienced this, being generous and being generous.
12:22 Sometimes, I ask for help, but sometimes, there are times when I don't have any.
12:29 So, even though I am sad, I cannot share the needs of the people.
12:37 I also experienced this.
12:39 For example, I borrow money, but I know that they have money.
12:46 But I was denied because they don't trust me and I cannot pay them.
12:54 But some of our interviewees said,
12:57 Filipinos are not generous.
12:59 That's wrong. Filipinos are not generous.
13:03 No, they are not. It's just a formality.
13:06 Street sweeper Francisco admitted that he does not have the capacity to help his fellow Filipinos.
13:12 He also said that he is having a hard time.
13:14 Of course, we think about our situation.
13:18 Of course, before them, we should help ourselves first.
13:23 Of course, we are looking for a way for our family to survive.
13:28 We are looking for a way for our family to survive.
13:34 How can they give money to charity, volunteer, or free service,
13:41 or help a stranger if they are working all day and still don't earn enough?
13:47 Like Liza, who has seven children.
13:49 She is a breadwinner because her husband is a senior citizen.
13:53 It's hard, especially for us Filipinos.
13:56 It's really hard for us even if we say that some are begging.
13:59 You cannot refuse them.
14:02 The 23-year-old Maria Gwen believes that Filipinos can still give and help,
14:09 especially when it comes to family.
14:12 Maybe that's why Filipinos are generous because they have their own priorities in life.
14:19 But I don't believe it because I'm like my mother.
14:23 I help my mother because she is a single mom.
14:27 That's why I don't agree with what was said in the survey.
14:30 She was given food by street dwellers on her birthday.
14:34 Others were able to afford it because they are giving and helping in different ways.
14:39 A behavioral expert said it's important to contextualize
14:43 what Filipinos' priorities when it comes to education.
14:46 In general, Filipinos are generous, helpful.
14:50 In fact, we can see it especially when there are calamities.
14:55 For example, when there is a storm, flood, or earthquake, we can see that we move together as a community.
15:04 Maybe this survey was done during a time when we know that there are many effects
15:12 and impacts on our economy and finances during this time of peri-pandemic.
15:19 Many lost their jobs. Many companies have downsized.

15:35 [speaking Filipino]
16:02 [upbeat music]
16:08 [speaking Filipino]
16:27 [speaking Filipino]
16:37 I feel like I'm one of the brave ones to start, but that's how she is.
16:43 I'm really appreciative that people like me and appreciative that I let my guard down.
16:52 Because if you love someone, then you should really love who they really are.
16:56 Not just the roles we play on TV.
16:58 [speaking Filipino]
17:21 Truly besties, the two, who are also called wifey.
17:25 They have been together in a house since 2022.
17:28 Of course, Rian is full support in Michelle's journey in Miss Universe.
17:32 She is also one of the people who visited Philippines, Michelle.
17:36 Besties for life, they are.
17:38 Yeah!
