00:11 We learned something.

00:12 24 hours.

00:14 [music]

00:18 Good evening, followers of Visayas and Mindanao.

00:22 [music]

00:23 The LPA has now become a low-pressure area,

00:26 but the first typhoon, Bagyong Kabayan, still left its mark.

00:33 In its landfall in Manay Davao Oriental this morning,

00:36 several provinces in Mindanao experienced flooding.

00:39 They were forced to travel and enter the area.

00:42 The evacuation of affected residents,

00:45 along with some elderly people, is also being done.

00:47 And the story of Kent Abregana of GMA Regional TV,

00:51 One Mindanao.

00:52 [music]

00:53 Kent?

00:54 [music]

00:57 Mel Emil Pia, due to the effects of the tropical storm,

01:02 the work of the public and private offices in Surigao del Sur was suspended.

01:08 Meanwhile, several families have fled their homes

01:12 due to the effects of the tropical storm, Kabayan.

01:15 [music]

01:18 Some houses in Lianga, Surigao del Sur, were damaged due to the heavy rain.

01:23 Some of the houses were damaged by the flood.

01:25 200 families were evacuated to Barangay Payasa.

01:29 Jeffrey is just fitting his tricycle with the things he can still save.

01:34 I'm carrying it, sir.

01:35 Because of the flood, I was able to get it.

01:37 I was able to bring my things, but the rest of the things, I brought to my house.

01:44 It was difficult for the 63-year-old grandmother, Bernadita, to get out

01:48 after the water level rose to the point of falling.

01:51 [wind]

01:54 The strong winds were also felt in Marihata and Surigao del Sur this afternoon.

01:58 [wind]

02:03 In the town of Hinatuan,

02:04 just this morning, the wind was felt along with the rain.

02:08 This was accompanied by a strong storm in Baybayin.

02:11 The residents living near the coastal area were evacuated.

02:14 The residents are worried, especially since they have not yet woken up

02:18 from the earthquake of December 2.

02:20 What we want is to have a supply of medicines, medicines kit, and water.

02:28 Especially water, because we don't have water.

02:31 Some did not wake up and stayed at their homes.

02:35 The fisherman, Boyet, was sure that the storm would not destroy his boat.

02:40 We are just like the other houses.

02:44 We are not like the other houses.

02:47 Despite the bad weather, the night prayer is still going on.

02:51 We are still protecting our village from the calamity.

02:55 We are still far from the earthquake.

02:58 In Manay, Davao Oriental, where the storm was felt this morning,

03:03 the BFP conducted a rescue operation in Sitio Libtong, where the flood reached.

03:08 The firemen called on the senior citizens to get out of their homes.

03:13 In Davao City, the sky is dark and it is weak until the right time for rain.

03:18 The passenger transport to Samal Island was cancelled.

03:22 One of our tributaries in Davao City is where the Davao River comes from.

03:30 That is our focus now, when we monitor, because there is rain on the top of the Davao River.

03:38 [Waves crashing]

03:43 [News Anchor speaking in Tagalog]

03:56 Thank you very much.

03:58 Kenta Frigana for Jimmy Original TV, One Minute Now.

04:01 [Music]

04:03 Due to the effects of the typhoon, thousands of passengers are stranded in their homes.

04:09 Some of them are trapped in Manila North Harbor,

04:12 where they are expected to travel early for Christmas.

04:15 The situation there is being discussed live by Chino Gaston.

04:19 Chino?

04:21 Mel, the reason why more than 5,000 passengers of a passenger shipping company

04:30 are stranded in Manila North Harbor is because of the typhoon.

04:34 At 7 in the morning, Maricel Tagab arrived at the North Harbor Passenger Terminal

04:44 with her son and several other family members.

04:47 But after 3 in the afternoon, she still could not board the ship "Biyahing Tagbilaran Bohol".

04:54 The loading of two ships in the North Harbor was simultaneous because the ships arrived late

05:00 due to the storm signal that was high in some parts of Visayas and Mindanao.

05:04 The Coast Guard said to wait for the update at 6 p.m. because they are also waiting for the update of the storm signal.

05:13 Gabriel Belarmino, who traveled to Cebu, also waited for a long time,

05:17 but he was not bored. His dog, Holly, was also there.

05:22 Actually, yesterday, they sent a message that the ship was delayed.

05:29 It was supposed to be at 7 o'clock today, but now it's already 5 o'clock in the afternoon, the departure for Cebu.

05:39 According to the company, two more ships were able to board yesterday

05:45 and are waiting in Manila Bay before it is allowed to sail.

05:49 It is estimated that 5,400 passengers on four passenger ships were affected by the no-sail policy while there was a storm signal.

05:58 They talked to the Coast Guard that if possible,

06:01 the rumors about the large passenger vessels will be released.

06:06 For now, the passenger ships that will travel far are not allowed to sail when there is a storm signal in any part of the route.

06:14 When we counted the passengers of four ships, it was about 5,000 passengers.

06:22 Our situation in the pier is good.

06:25 As you saw earlier, the situation in the PTV and concourse is good.

06:31 Our passengers are comfortable.

06:34 According to the PCG, the companies are listening.

06:38 The main reason for delaying the departure whenever there is a storm signal is so that tragedies like the MV Princess of the Stars

06:46 that were allowed to leave because there was no storm signal in Metro Manila,

06:50 but there was a storm that hit the Romblon where the storm hit.

06:55 The regulation of the Philippine Coast Guard, the public storm warning signal,

07:00 especially for long-distance travel, should be removed from all destinations and all routes should be free of storm.

07:11 Otherwise, if there is one, the trip is cancelled.

07:14 And because the departure of the ships was already prepared,

07:17 it was expected that the return to Metro Manila will be delayed as well.

07:21 So it is possible that there will be changes in the trip schedules in the coming days.

07:27 [ambient noise]

07:30 According to the PCG, there are almost 6,000 passengers in Metro Manila,

07:36 and some parts of Visayas and Mindanao are considered stranded.

07:41 PCG warns those who have trips near Christmas,

07:45 it is better to check the schedule of your trips because there are likely to be changes

07:52 because of the bad effects of bad weather.

07:57 Mel.

07:58 Thank you very much, Chino Gaston.

08:01 [music]

08:09 [music]

08:12 This is the latest in the low-pressure area or the former Baguio-Cabayan.

08:17 The LPA finally passed through the impasse or Bukidnon and the storm weakened

08:22 because of its interaction with the land after landfall in Davao Oriental earlier.

08:26 But according to the hope, the possibility of it rising again as a storm is not removed,

08:32 especially if it can reach the sea again.

08:35 Even if it becomes a storm again or the LPA is just staying,

08:38 it is expected to pass through Mindanao, through Sulusi, and next, it will hit the Palawan province.

08:46 There is no high wind signal but the wind is strong and it will be a threat to many towns in the country.

08:53 Aside from the LPA, the shoreline and the Amihan wind will also be affected in other parts of the country.

08:59 According to the data of Metro Weather, the chance of rain in Cagayan, Isabela, Aurora, Quezon,

09:06 Mimaropa, and some parts of Bicol region is almost noon.

09:09 And the rain is heavy in the northern and central zone, so be careful.

09:13 In Visayas and Mindanao, it will be morning already.

09:16 Many areas will be flooded in the eastern and central Visayas, Panay Island, Zamboanga Peninsula, Caraga, and Davao region.

09:23 It will continue in the afternoon and almost the entire Mindanao will be flooded.

09:28 The rain is heavy in some areas, so be alert to the possible flooding or landslides.

09:34 And here in Metro Manila, like what we experienced earlier, there is still a chance of rain tomorrow.

09:41 The veteran actor, Ronaldo Valdez, turned 76 years old.

09:49 In the midst of opening up his family and his company in the industry,

09:54 the investigation of the death of the actor, Marisol Abdurrahman, was launched.

10:03 In his Instagram post, the actor and singer Giano Gibbs announced that his father, the veteran actor, Ronaldo Valdez, passed away.

10:12 Giano asked for privacy while opening up his family.

10:16 Valdez is an award-winning actor from the family of the Shobis.

10:22 Among the famous people in his family are his two children, Giano and Melissa Gibbs.

10:27 He is the son of the actress and singer Bing Lloyd Zaga.

10:30 He started his career in the Shobis in 1966.

10:34 And since then, he has played many roles in movies and television.

10:40 He also watched several programs of GMA, like Bembo Tinga,

10:44 Sitcom,

10:48 and Men To Be.

10:51 According to the police, Valdez was found in his room at 3 p.m. yesterday and was shot.

10:59 A gun was also found inside the room.

11:01 Sir, Ronaldo Valdez was sitting in his chair and he was unconscious.

11:10 He was shot in his right temple and the gun was still in his hand.

11:19 The actor was rushed to the hospital but he was declared dead on arrival.

11:24 The QCPD said they are conducting an investigation into the death of Valdez or James Ronaldo Laca Gibbs in real life.

11:33 Because a gun was found in the room, all the people in Valdez's house were put under a paraffin test.

11:39 This is part of the standard operating procedure for incidents that may be used by criminals.

11:44 And this does not mean that they are aware of what happened.

11:48 The results of the paraffin and ballistic test are still being waited for.

11:52 For GMA Integrated News, Marisol Abduramal, Nakatuto 24 Horas.

12:00 Despite the calls, President Bongbong Marcos believes that the Philippines should not be colonized.

12:07 Chinese Ambassador Wang Zilian, although we are doing everything we can to protect our sovereignty,

12:14 we still need to be careful with the steps.

12:16 Nakatutok si Marie Zumali.

12:18 It is the 50th anniversary of the friendship and cooperation between ASEAN and Japan,

12:27 which was won by President Bongbong Marcos in Tokyo, Japan.

12:30 This was also a chance for him to advance in Japan.

12:33 They are forming a reciprocal access agreement, which they agreed upon by Japanese Prime Minister Kishida Fumio,

12:40 which will be completed in a short time.

12:42 The formation of the RAA will be a big help to us.

12:45 That's one of the things that I'm looking forward to.

12:48 That will have a big multiplier effect to our capabilities.

12:55 These are the kind of arrangements we are making not only with Japan,

12:59 but also with other countries around China Sea in the Pacific region.

13:07 According to the President, we are doing all the steps to protect our sovereignty.

13:12 And many are supporting us.

13:15 But we still need to be careful with the steps.

13:18 If we heighten the tensions, it won't lead us to a good result.

13:25 So we are being very circumspect.

13:30 That's why the President doesn't see that we should recall Chinese Ambassador Wang Zilian,

13:35 even if there are calls to do so.

13:37 Next, the Chinese envoy will visit AFP Chief of Staff Romeo Browner Jr.

13:43 He's the ambassador of China, so he will always take the Chinese position.

13:48 It doesn't serve any purpose for us to lose our temper or to overreact.

13:53 I think Ambassador Wang is just doing his job.

13:56 He's just doing his job. He's continuing to state the Chinese narrative.

14:01 Of course, we don't agree with that narrative.

14:04 After the ASEAN-Japan Commemorative Summit,

14:07 ASEAN and Japan agreed to implement a Joint Vision Statement Plan

14:11 that will strengthen and strengthen its cooperation

14:15 when it comes to security, maritime security, and connectivity.

14:19 President Marcos' visit to China has also been productive

14:23 when it comes to the requests of the businessmen.

14:25 It is proven that up to seven companies have expressed the intention

14:29 to open and expand their business in the Philippines, worth about Php 14 billion.

14:34 President Marcos said that he will sign the 2024 National Budget on Wednesday

14:40 as part of the implementation of a large fund for our defense capabilities in the West Philippine Sea.

14:45 We will improve that. We will improve our operational capabilities in every way that we can.

14:52 But that's not the only side to that story.

14:55 We have to, again, as I mentioned before, continue to ally ourselves

15:01 with as many countries around the world, especially in Asia, but in the Indo-Pacific area.

15:07 Before returning to the Philippines,

15:09 he had an audience with Japan's Emperor Naruhito and Empress Masako in the Imperial Palace.

15:15 Reporting from Tokyo, Japan, for GMA Integrated News, Maris Umali, for 24 Hours.

15:23 [music]

15:28 Good evening, Kapuso!

15:30 The cast of the hit Kapuso series, Love Before Sunrise, is booked and blessed.

15:34 And Asia's multimedia star, Alden Richards, who celebrated her 13th anniversary in showbiz.

15:40 Their hashtag, #FeelingBlessedMomentThis2023, is a reminder of the words of Aubrey Carampel.

15:46 [music]

15:49 Through him and with him and in him, O God, Almighty God.

15:52 The gathering began at a mass held at Alden Richards' newly opened bar in Makati.

15:59 In an AVP, he showed some highlights of his 13-year showbiz career and projects,

16:06 including the biggest historical drama series of 2024, Pulang Araw, and first ever film, which he directed.

16:14 I think it's really more of contentment.

16:16 Hi, Miss Rose!

16:18 That's what I felt throughout this year because in the beginning, we were a bit ungrateful.

16:27 Eventually, when it poured, you know, sometimes it's like God is just testing you to see how far you can go.

16:34 And then when you manage, the benefits and rewards are always at the end.

16:38 And learnings, most especially.

16:40 This Christmas, Alden will be a star.

16:43 Mateo, what's this?

16:44 In promoting the MMFF movie, Family of Two, Lapa America will travel with the family

16:51 to celebrate New Year and his birthday on January 2.

16:56 But he will still work on the side for his company.

17:01 Looking for opportunities, of course, now with Myriad, the network has really expanded.

17:06 And I've met so many potential partners in the US this past few trips to LA.

17:13 I'm just a sandpolar, so it's just a one-hour plane ride.

17:17 So, I'll probably meet our partners there also.

17:21 The cast of Love Before Sunrise also has a Thanksgiving party.

17:25 They are grateful that the romantic drama series was loved by the viewers.

17:30 The whole friendship with the cast was added bonus for Bea.

17:34 I've gotten close to them, and everybody's professional, they're all really nice.

17:41 So, yeah, I'll miss them.

17:44 It's been a few weeks and the finale of Love Before Sunrise is already waiting.

17:48 What will be the surprise in the last moments?

17:53 Expect the best.

17:54 It's a really nice ending to everything.

17:58 It really pushes Bea's character to the end.

18:02 For a long time, I haven't experienced the cut, it's not yet finished.

18:07 But I experienced it in Zarina's ending.

18:10 Because it's like, in all their experiences, in everything that happened, the ending is beautiful.

18:17 What you did, it doesn't matter to me.

18:19 Aubrey Carambel, updated to showbiz happenings.

18:23 In our bigger mission and wider service to the country,

18:30 you will have a chance to meet here in 24 hours starting today.

18:37 Your Sumbong and Hinaing are ready to listen and take action.

18:42 Here's our heart and soul action man, Emil Sumangil.

18:47 Emil?

18:48 Thank you, Mel, for your kind support to our fellow countrymen.

18:58 The animals in a dog pound in Medellin, Cebu were taken action.

19:03 Dogs were being whipped in jail.

19:07 We will now listen to your heart and soul action man.

19:10 Whipped.

19:15 And some were whipped.

19:20 That's the state of the 80 dogs being whipped in a dog pound by the local government of Medellin, Cebu.

19:31 Their pitiful situation can be seen in the images and cell phone videos sent to our program.

19:38 In another video, you can see the dog being whipped,

19:41 the two legs on a wooden pole.

19:43 No other request, only action.

19:46 April, the situation is not that bad.

19:50 Then why did they catch them and not let them eat?

19:53 That's when I got angry.

19:54 She has been to the local government of Sumbong several times but...

19:58 Every time I complain...

20:00 They clean it.

20:01 They clean it and then return it to the previous owner.

20:03 Your heart and soul action man responded to the local government of Medellin.

20:07 The dogs were transferred to a bigger dog pound and this was investigated by the authorities.

20:15 It's been a long time.

20:16 Now, the dogs in the previous dog pound are okay.

20:21 The dogs are being abandoned by the LGO.

20:24 We took them to a public area.

20:27 They are really poor there.

20:30 When they arrived at the dog pound, we took care of them.

20:33 In fact, the provincial veterinary office regularly takes care of them.

20:37 The local government of Medellin has enough funds and the mayor instructed us

20:42 that we have to sustain the dog pound in terms of budget.

20:47 This is a big change according to the people of Sumbong.

20:52 And the dog pound will also be taken care of.

20:56 Last October, I complained that I already have a dog pound here.

20:59 But it's not as clean as it is now.

21:01 I'm afraid that after this, I'll just play again.

21:06 Maybe it will be repeated.

21:07 Because it will be repeated.

21:08 Now, ma'am, I'm 100% satisfied with our dog pound.

21:14 The owners of the dogs that we caught, they don't have P500, sir.

21:19 But they want to take them.

21:21 Is it really necessary to pay P500?

21:23 No, ma'am. If you can't afford P500, you can use it.

21:28 But you tell us that we just take the dogs but take care of them.

21:33 The local government reminds us not to leave the dogs on the streets.

21:38 We still have to continue the implementation of our ordinance.

21:42 To balance the implementation of the ordinance on the dog care,

21:47 and we have to secure also our motorists, our pedestrians, our citizens against the proliferation of stray dogs.

21:55 [music]

22:00 Mission accomplished, Kapuso.

22:03 For your messages, send them to the Kapuso Action Man Facebook page

22:08 through complaints, abuse, or mistrust.

22:11 May the action be effective to your Kapuso Action Man.

22:15 300,000 Filipinos are likely to lose their jobs

22:20 if the jeepney is continued to face out according to the Manibela Group.

22:24 So even on Christmas Day, some groups continue to protest to make their voices heard.

22:30 Jonathan Anda is on the spot.

22:32 [music]

22:35 When did Ate Babe Sabaklaran go shopping for Christmas?

22:39 She was also hit by the nationwide Tigil Pasada.

22:42 She was in a difficult situation, especially with the heavy load.

22:45 It's hard to ride. We still have to ride two more.

22:48 We can't take a taxi because it's far.

22:51 But in Divisoria, there were still a lot of jeeps earlier,

22:54 so it's not hard for the people to choose to ride.

22:57 The LGUs are spreading their own free rides.

23:00 It's very hard because the schools should have announced that this is also an online class.

23:09 Long live the traditional jeepney!

23:12 From now until December 29, the 40,000 members of the Manibela Group will not pass.

23:18 Earlier in Panayam sa Superadio, DZBB,

23:21 Piston National President Modi Floranda said that they are asking the local associations to join the strike.

23:28 For now, Piston is not on strike.

23:31 But is it possible for drivers to have two weeks without traveling, especially on Christmas?

23:37 We are not sure how long, because of course, we also need to find a way to live for our family.

23:44 I hope our president listens to us so that our employment in the Philippines will not continue.

23:52 We will not lower the salary of P300,000.

23:55 The jobs will be lost by January 1.

23:57 In January 1, the LTFRB will not allow drivers and operators who did not join the consolidation or corporations and cooperatives

24:07 to apply there until December 31.

24:11 There is no extension, but Manibela does not want those who joined the consolidation.

24:16 The consolidation is a monopoly.

24:20 The officials, the chairman, will be the ones to follow the franchisees and the vehicles.

24:26 Manibela said that they will protest in Malacanang on Christmas Day.

24:31 For GMA Integrated News, Jonathan Andal, for 24 Hours.

24:37 [music]

24:44 They say that small things, when put together, will go far.

24:51 So #FeelingBlessed.

24:54 A student in Batangas who was looking for pesos to buy a laptop,

25:00 he received more than that from two strangers.

25:04 He was being played by Paul Hernandez of GMA Regional TV, Balitang, Southern Tagalog.

25:10 [music]

25:14 How far will your peso go?

25:16 For a 20-year-old and a second-year geodetic engineering student like Rohan,

25:21 if that peso is put together, it is a big step to reach the dream of completing his studies

25:28 and give a good life to his family in Masbate.

25:31 This July, Rohan posted online to ask for help to have a laptop in school.

25:38 He said that he is ashamed and he was shocked.

25:41 Instead of just studying and finishing,

25:45 he said that he is the only one who is able to afford to send his 13 siblings to school.

25:50 Rohan's story has been told and many have been touched by the fact that he was able to receive not one, but two laptops.

25:57 I am feeling blessed because many have given me help that I did not expect that I would receive.

26:08 Among the goods in Maritan is Marie Gail, a faculty member of Batangas State University where Rohan is studying.

26:15 She said that Rohan did not become a student and that their paths never crossed.

26:20 Despite that, she is proud of Rohan's determination and perseverance.

26:24 I think that this is what opportunity should be given because that is what will be an asset to us later on.

26:33 Even if you say that the impact of poverty is negative, that is their motivation.

26:40 Because of the help, I was encouraged to finish my studies and help my family.

26:47 That is my goal, to help others who are pursuing their studies.

26:54 Sometimes, we just think that the money will come from far away.

27:01 It is not just a simple coin or small amount.

27:04 Because it can change lives, not just now, but more than what is ahead.

27:15 For GMA Integrated News, Paul Hernandez of GMA Regional TV, Balitang Southern Tagalog.

27:21 "Tutok 24 Horas"

27:26 Balikbansana is the Filipino name of one of the founders of Hamas.

27:33 His experience during the war between Israel and Hamas is amazing.

27:38 In the play of Sandra Ginab.

27:43 From Israel, Jimmy Pacheco returned home with his family who accompanied him to the airport.

27:49 It was exactly a week before Christmas.

27:52 He did not expect to see his family again after Hamas' overthrow.

27:59 It has been more than two months.

28:01 Pacheco was released on November 24, the first day of the humanitarian pause between Israel and Hamas.

28:09 I am happy that I am here in the Philippines. I saw my family, my wife.

28:16 It is like a dream.

28:19 Pacheco told a story of his experience when Hamas invaded Israel on October 7.

28:28 He said that he hid his old wife in a bomb shelter.

28:32 He told me that he locked all the doors.

28:39 He told me that he secured my life because he is old.

28:44 But I still chose to stay with him until his last breath.

28:50 Then he was killed in the shelter where he was sleeping.

28:58 He was shot three times.

29:05 The other two shots hit my head and my stomach.

29:10 But God has mercy on me.

29:13 Despite what happened, Pacheco will return to Israel to work again.

29:18 He has three job offers per day that he is waiting for here, according to his wife.

29:23 I don't want them to experience my hard work since I was a child until now.

29:29 Pacheco's family will celebrate Christmas together.

29:33 The time came when I lost hope because I thought it was over.

29:37 For 49 days, I didn't talk to anyone or we didn't hear from each other.

29:45 It was very sad.

29:47 So it's good.

29:52 Pacheco was joined by officials from the Department of Foreign Affairs,

29:55 Department of Migrant Workers and Overseas Workers Welfare Administration who brought assistance.

30:01 The Israel Embassy also promised to provide long-term assistance.

30:05 He's entitled of getting all the support that any other Israeli who is a victim of terror.

30:12 Clarice mentioned that she wants to have a business.

30:15 Jimmy agreed that she wants to have a business in the market.

30:20 Aside from Jimmy Pacheco, we also have many Filipinos who are returning to the Philippines this Christmas.

30:26 They are excited for the traditional Filipino Christmas, especially the whole family's gathering.

30:33 It's important for me to see my family happy.

39:42 I just ask for thank you and good health because He gives me so much.

39:49 But for the Sparkle Artists, their feeling of Christmas is not just about feeling blessed.

40:05 Especially to my friends, I always make sure they're happy, I always make sure they enjoy,

40:13 you know, vibes with them, being with people.

40:28 there's always someone that you can help to have a better Christmas.

40:33 Nelson Canlas, updated on Shoebiz Happenings.

40:37 Because of the two consecutive years that the number of firecracker-related injuries in the country has increased,

40:43 DILG is pushing for the implementation of a nationwide ban on fireworks.

40:48 The Health Department has already started the campaign to avoid fireworks.

40:52 Mark Salazar was on the scene.

40:59 In Mataong, Barangay Addition Hill, in Mandaluyong, DOH started the campaign to avoid fireworks.

41:06 The campaign is now in full swing because the number of firecracker-related injuries has increased again for two consecutive years.

41:13 According to DOH, in Metro Manila, the number of people who were injured by fireworks doubled last year.

41:19 And the reason for the increase is quite serious.

41:22 Almost a 101 percent increase, but we can attribute it to the increased mobility of people.

41:30 The Department of Interior and Local Government is pushing for the implementation of a nationwide ban on fireworks.

41:37 Some LGUs are implementing it in their respective areas, such as Quezon City and Davao City.

41:43 And they have already set up a place for the community fireworks display.

41:47 The campaign also includes in the barangays of Metro Manila to be careful of COVID-19, especially as the number of cases is increasing.

41:54 There are 1,341 active cases in Metro Manila, but these are mild cases.

42:01 The cases of COVID-19 in hospitals are very, very low.

42:05 So there's no cause for alarm.

42:07 This Christmas season is really a time for convergence.

42:11 So again, we advocate for those who are sick to still wear masks.

42:17 But we are not saying that you should not go out, you should not converge.

42:22 We are normal.

42:23 DOH is giving importance to the family of the people who are together for the mental health of all.

42:31 The level of anxiety and depression in Christmas is also high.

42:36 And the annual reminder to be careful in eating this Christmas.

42:42 If possible, avoid salty foods, fatty foods.

42:47 Do it in moderation.

42:49 And we're asking people not to drink, before we said in moderation, but what the WHO is saying now, there's no safety level for alcohol.

43:00 When it's Christmas, the number of people who are being attacked by heart and stroke increases by 5% because they forget about good night and midnight.

43:10 For JMAI Integrated News, Mark Salazar, 24 Hours.
