00:14 The van following the bus hit a bus stop in Batac City, Ilocos Norte.
00:19 The van hit the SUV in front of it.
00:23 Based on the investigation, the vehicles stopped partially due to the heavy traffic.
00:29 But the van tried to overtake the bus.
00:32 The driver of the van refused to give his permission to face the charges.

00:40 Catholic priests are now allowing same-sex couples, divorced and non-married to give blessings.
00:48 This is in line with the new declaration signed by Pope Francis.
00:52 But Vatican will clarify that this is not considered a marriage.
00:57 Sandra Aguinaldo has a report.
00:59 Angela and Emanuel have been in a relationship for more than a year.
01:05 They dream of getting married someday.
01:08 We are LGBT and we dream of having a partner.
01:10 It's up to the Catholic Church. We are Catholics.
01:15 But according to the Philippine law,
01:18 only a woman and a man can be married.
01:23 That is not yet fulfilled.
01:25 This is good news for Emanuel and Angela, the Vatican's announcement.
01:30 In Pope Francis' declaration,
01:32 priests are allowed to give blessings to same-sex couples,
01:38 live-in partners and even divorced couples.
01:41 It's really okay.
01:42 Because we can see the respect in the whole world
01:47 that not all women and men can be together.
01:50 We are accepted in the Church.
01:53 The condition for the separation in the sacrament of marriage is to give blessings.
01:58 It should be avoided that the ceremony of marriage should be held
02:01 and it should not be held in the civil union.
02:04 So the blessing would be given the way any blessing is given normally.
02:09 If you have a husband, or you are visiting a shrine,
02:15 or you are in a pilgrimage, you are asking for a blessing.
02:19 People might misunderstand that the blessing given by the priest
02:24 is like blessing the same-sex union.
02:27 That's not what the church is saying.
02:29 However, this is a big step because it is different from the position of the Church in 2021.
02:35 This is the way of the Holy Father to open the Catholic Church to all and to guide its members.
02:42 We are receiving the statement of the Catholic Bishops Conference of the Philippines,
02:46 but they have not yet been approved.
02:47 According to Lingayen Dagupan Archbishop Socrates Villegas,
02:51 in a new document from the Vatican,
02:53 the blessing of mercy was added to the categories of blessing.
02:58 When the priest prayed for the couples in an irregular situation,
03:04 he asked God to have mercy on them and to give grace to change.
03:09 The acceptance of an open church for same-sex couples
03:14 is a big step for the Catholic Church to give them a blessing.
03:18 But it is still a long way to go for the same-sex couples to reach the altar.
03:24 Maybe it's a good thing, good language, good different approach,
03:29 but it's not enough. It does not affirm the relationship.
03:36 Sandra Aguinaldo is reporting for GMA Integrated News.
03:42 Many passengers have started their trip to the province for Christmas.
03:47 To avoid traffic jams, the authorities reminded those who cannot bring their luggage.
03:52 My report is by Joseph Morong.
03:54 After the cancellation of sea trips due to bad weather,
04:01 passengers at the Manila North Port Passenger Terminal in North Harbor have left.
04:06 According to the Philippine Coast Guard,
04:08 the delay of the scheduled trips to the province is due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
04:13 Today, more than 20,000 passengers were monitored by the PCG
04:17 and were asked to leave the country.
04:19 When you are in the ports, you should arrive earlier.
04:22 It's better to arrive four hours earlier than the D-Day.
04:27 The prohibited things, harmful substances,
04:32 chemicals that can injure passengers and those who are exploding,
04:38 should not be brought. You should also not blow them.
04:41 Passengers are also queuing at the bus terminal in Pasay.
04:45 Friday and Saturday, the number of passengers will increase.
04:48 The province will go home.
04:49 Will you add more trips?
04:50 We will add more trips.
04:52 It is also expected that until the eve of Christmas,
04:55 passengers will add to the Paranaque Integrated Terminal Exchange or PTEX.
04:59 They can buy in advance. It's better.
05:02 So that at least your seats are reserved.
05:04 Security at the terminal is also being tightened.
05:06 It is also being reminded that it is prohibited to bring explosive and harmful things.
05:10 At the arrival area of IA Terminal 3,
05:12 the volume of those arriving and greeting passengers has already decreased.
05:17 The Civil Aviation Authority of the Philippines is expecting
05:20 to see more than 2 million airline passenger arrivals
05:23 as recorded in December last year.
05:26 The 44 airports that are held by the CAAP are also ready.
05:29 Joseph Morong is the one who is reporting for GMA Integrated News.
05:32 If it is not possible to talk,
05:36 President Bongbong Marcos has already proposed a different way,
05:40 namely, to harass China in the West Philippine Sea.
05:44 In an interview with him by the Japanese media,
05:46 the President described as "heading in a poor direction"
05:50 the current diplomatic efforts in China,
05:53 so it should be changed.
05:55 To be clear, the President does not want to end up in violence or terrorism.
06:00 But our actions should be more careful
06:03 because the livelihood of our fishermen is already affected.
06:07 China is ready to change its position in the South China Sea
06:13 through dialogue and consultation.
06:16 But he also emphasized that the recent incidents
06:19 that were involved by their Coast Guard and Philippine Maritime Vehicles
06:23 are just the fault of the Philippines.
06:26 The Chinese Embassy in the Philippines hopes that next year
06:30 more benefits will be brought to the relationship between China and the Philippines.
06:35 A year-old archer who is old and lacking in equipment
06:43 was found dead in the Batang Pinoy Games 2023.
06:47 He was at the pole of Tubong Naga, Camarinesur, where Faye Yvonne Colliantes won a gold medal
06:53 in the 10-meter girl archery.
06:55 Her father taught her how to use a PVC bow.
07:01 Faye's family supports her and she is also fond of archery.
07:06 The team is leading in weightlifting,
07:08 which is coached by husbands, Heidelin Diaz and Julius Naranjo.
07:13 The medal of the Batang Pinoy is on the list of the Montinlupa with 10 gold medals.
07:19 Because they are my mom, and my dad, and my brother,
07:28 I am also an archer, that's why I am doing this.
07:31 For me, it is important that the children see that I am still there,
07:35 that they are still supporting me.
07:36 Because of course, I am still up there,
07:38 but I went down because I want to influence them, inspire them.
07:43 [music]
07:48 Megastar Sharon Coneta became emotional when her ex-husband, Gabby Concepcion,
07:54 and their daughter, KC, talked to her.
07:56 In a fast talk with Boya Bunda, she admitted that
07:59 they were just together again at the Dear Heart concert this October.
08:05 She cried bitterly at the concert because of the extreme embarrassment
08:09 of their past misunderstandings.
08:15 I feel like we lost so much, the three of us, Gabby, me, and KC.
08:26 The three of us, that family should have remained a family.
08:34 I did not imagine that that family would break up.
08:38 Yeah.
08:39 The cast of Fireflies is very thankful to those who watched the advance screening of the movie.
08:47 Fireflies is one of the official entries of the 2023 Metro Manila Film Festival.
08:52 It is sponsored by GMA Pictures and GMA Public Affairs.
08:56 Because it is a child's POV, that is what I will bring to the film.
09:04 How the world can see through the lens of an innocent child
09:09 who has a promise that he still wants to do this.
09:13 It's been six days already, it's Christmas.
09:18 Six days already? You still haven't hung up the Christmas tree.
09:21 It's already there.
09:22 Is it there?
09:23 I can't see it. Just a moment.
09:24 I feel blessed that there are a lot of motorists in EDSA because they were accepted from MMDA.
09:30 I saw this.
09:32 And the decorations in Christmas Village in San Carlos City, Pangasinan, are bamboo inspired.
09:39 Some riders in EDSA were so nervous that they were able to smile.
09:45 They were followed by MMDA people.
09:49 But not to celebrate, but to give Christmas.
09:53 The MMDA distributed the grocery package in the program Ticket or Treat.
10:00 They continued to remind people to follow the traffic laws.
10:03 Especially now that there are more motorists in EDSA.
10:07 People in the colorful Christmas Village in San Carlos City, Pangasinan, were also there.
10:14 The decorations are bamboo inspired.
10:17 There is a giant Christmas tree, dancing fountain, tunnel of lights,
10:21 and performers who were not only led by the children, but also their parents.
10:29 President Bongbong Marcos was the one who was able to greet the people
10:33 in the Tarasapalacio Christmas Carnival.
10:36 He was also there with First Lady Lisa Araneta Marcos.
10:40 The carnival is open and free from 6 to 11 at night.
10:46 That was State of the Nation.
10:53 I am Mackie Pulido for a bigger mission.
10:57 For a broader service to the country, with the name of Atom Arawlyo,
11:01 I am Mark Salazar from GMA Integrated News, the news authority of the Philippines.
