00:26 [Pia Ivan]

00:35 Melissa is not holding a grocery list but a calculator

00:41 while she's buying for Noche Buena at Mega Q Mart in Quezon City earlier.

00:45 We're confused so we don't exceed the budget.

00:48 For a thousand pesos, we're already a few.

00:51 Alice is also careful when budgeting for Noche Buena.

00:55 We have priorities, medicines, and we don't have visitors.

01:00 It's just us.

01:02 The price of some products like pork has increased

01:05 to P320 per kilo from P310.

01:08 The coconut, which is one of the fruits of fruit salad,

01:11 is now P50 from the previous P35.

01:14 In the New Year, it might increase even more

01:16 because the coconut is running out.

01:19 In the time of the storm, it's like that.

01:22 The coconut is running out.

01:25 The price of chicken has dropped to P170 per kilo from P200.

01:30 P180 per kilo for choice cuts.

01:33 The line is also long in this supermarket in Quezon Avenue.

01:37 They're selling Noche Buena packs

01:39 that are P500 to P1,500 depending on the quantity of the meat.

01:43 The price of queso de bola, fruit cocktail, and spaghetti pack

01:47 also depends on the size and brand.

01:49 Iris is in a hurry to buy because she has work this past Sunday.

01:53 I was surprised with the spaghetti pack.

01:56 I think it's less than P100 from last year.

01:59 Now, it's P120.

02:01 At Welcome Rotonda, there are also different kinds of ham.

02:04 In this supermarket, it's from P170 to P599.

02:09 There are also other preparations like for breakfast.

02:16 Ivan, there are only a few people buying now,

02:19 but this Welcome Supermarket will be open until 6 p.m.

02:22 Back to you, Ivan. Merry Christmas!

02:24 Merry Christmas! And thank you very much, Ma'am Gonzalez.

02:27 In Divisoria, there are still many people going to Christmas shopping.

02:34 Let's see how the situation is there in the live coverage of Ivona Tito.

02:38 Bon?

02:43 That's why the Divisoria that is running for those who want to save

02:46 is still crowded with last-minute shoppers this Christmas Eve.

02:51 From the price of clothes, bags, toys, and other gifts,

02:59 almost everyone is going to Divisoria.

03:03 At 11 a.m. this morning, there are already this many people here in Divisoria.

03:09 It's said that the shoppers are just waiting for the Christmas Eve to buy cheap gifts.

03:18 It's tight. It's hot. There's no tomorrow. Just stay at home.

03:24 It's okay. There are a lot of people. So be careful with the people who are walking.

03:28 We will get 13. That's why we bought a lot of things.

03:32 Because there are people who are chasing to buy,

03:35 the shoppers are chasing to buy.

03:39 They are taking advantage of the Christmas Eve to give some money to their families and to add to the Christmas Eve.

03:45 I only have two children. They have their own lives.

03:50 If they are in need, I will still help them.

03:54 The shoppers are happy with the extra income from the last-minute shoppers.

04:01 I only have P20. I save it for my family.

04:06 And a few days before the new year, there are also people who are selling loudspeakers like turotot

04:12 and fireworks like luces and fountain.

04:15 There are also people who are selling illegal fireworks.

04:17 The police are still on a rondeau here and they are reminding people,

04:21 especially those who are earning P6.6 from shopping.

04:24 Let's be careful with our belongings, especially our bags, cellphones, and wallets.

04:28 Let's put them in front of us so that we can avoid being victims of robbery and theft.

04:33 Pia, at this time, the shoppers are still on a rondeau.

04:41 And at the same time, the traffic is still closing on some streets here in Divisoria.

04:47 And that's the latest from here. Merry Christmas to you, Pia Ivan.

04:51 Merry Christmas and thank you very much, Bon Aquino.

04:57 There are also people who are chasing the sales of "bida" every Christmas Eve,

05:01 which are ham and lechon.

05:03 But in Lechon Capital, Laloma, there are not many shoppers this year.

05:07 And Dano Tingcunco is the one who is in charge of that.

05:10 Dano.

05:13 Merry Christmas, Ivan.

05:18 In every Christmas Eve, especially on Christmas Eve, ham and lechon are a must.

05:24 That's why the lechon and lechon are sold separately here in Laloma, Quezon City.

05:30 Next to each other, the shoppers come to the famous ham shop in Mandaluyong.

05:39 We buy ham yearly.

05:41 You bought it 10 times already?

05:43 Yes, so that it's really fresh.

05:45 We're Chinese, but we're also in the same business.

05:50 Has it become a tradition or is it just a new thing?

05:54 It's been a tradition ever since.

05:55 Because we're Filipino born, native born.

05:58 The boneless ham is at P1,580 per kilo.

06:02 The bone is at P1,680.

06:04 The slice is at P1,750.

06:07 The scrap ham is at P1,590 per kilo.

06:11 It's okay, sir.

06:12 There are shoppers.

06:15 It's almost the same as last year.

06:17 They're returning the regular customers.

06:21 When it comes to buying ham in Quiapo,

06:23 the shoppers are also eager to complete the tradition.

06:26 Here, the boneless ham is P1,660 per kilo.

06:30 The bone is at P1,760.

06:33 The bones are just now being counted.

06:36 This is what happens when there's an occasion.

06:39 In Laloma, Quezon City, which is considered the capital of lechon in the Philippines,

06:43 some shoppers are getting angry.

06:46 Because the prices of the vegetables are so high,

06:48 they're expecting to get more during Christmas.

06:51 It's a bit expensive, but it's okay.

06:54 How can you buy it?

06:55 People are coming.

06:57 It's a bit cheaper this year,

06:59 compared to before when we were really busy.

07:02 It's only this time.

07:03 The price is just right.

07:05 How is it just right?

07:07 It's just right that people are buying one by one.

07:11 It's not as much as we expected.

07:14 What did you expect?

07:15 The price is high.

07:17 Our sales are not that good.

07:20 We don't know if we can still buy it this afternoon.

07:25 According to the shopkeepers,

07:27 the sales are possibly lower because the price of lechon is more expensive,

07:31 which is the effect of the high price of pork.

07:34 This year, the price of the whole lechon is P8,500 to P30,000,

07:39 depending on the size.

07:41 [Cash register rings]

07:43 Ivan, we don't have an exact figure,

07:49 but as it gets darker and we're getting closer to Christmas,

07:54 and Noche Buena,

07:55 the sales are increasing.

07:57 The lechon sellers here in Laloma, Quezon City,

08:00 are also increasing.

08:02 The shopkeepers are hoping that their sales will increase

08:07 even before Noche Buena.

08:10 That's all for now.

08:11 Merry Christmas to you all.

08:13 Ivan.

08:14 Merry Christmas, Dano.

08:16 Thank you very much.

08:17 Compared to the past few days,

08:21 Batangas Port is more relaxing.

08:24 Fewer passengers are going home today.

08:27 Paul Hernandez, a native of the Philippines,

08:30 is live from the southern Tagalog.

08:33 Paul?

08:34 Yes, Pia.

08:37 The situation here in Batangas is better.

08:39 Fewer passengers are going home to their province this Christmas Eve.

08:45 Compared to last night when cars entered the port,

08:53 there's no longer a long line on the side streets this Christmas Eve.

08:58 Passengers inside the passenger terminal building are less.

09:02 There's also less line in the ticketing area.

09:04 But there's still a lot of luggage for those going on vacation.

09:08 We know that it's still crowded, but it's very spacious.

09:13 It's not crowded.

09:15 There are more people going home to their province.

09:18 According to the latest report by Batangas Port,

09:21 more than 10,000 people crossed the sea since last night.

09:25 There are still ships going home tomorrow, Christmas Eve.

09:28 Although there's a slight rain, there's no cancellation of the trip.

09:34 In Port of Lucena, Quezon, the trip to Romblon was until 3 p.m.

09:40 The trip to Marinduque will be until 7 p.m.

09:43 According to the Port of Lucena,

09:45 ships will return tomorrow afternoon.

09:49 Although there's a slight rain,

09:54 passengers entering the port are still being held in check by the authorities.

10:01 That's the latest from Batangas City.

10:04 Pia, Merry Christmas.

10:05 Merry Christmas and thank you very much.

10:08 Paul Hernandez of GMA Regional TV, Balitan Southern Tagalog.

10:12 Some passengers are already traveling from PITX.

10:17 The buses were not enough yesterday due to the road problem in Quezon.

10:21 Jonathan Andal was also there.

10:24 Danny was still in PITX yesterday.

10:29 But he bought a ticket early in the morning to Masbate.

10:32 He said he fully booked all the tickets he went to yesterday in Cubao, Pasay, and Paranaque.

10:38 While carrying this many luggage.

10:41 I'm sweating.

10:43 But I missed it because I haven't been home for a year.

10:49 Because I have a job in Tepolo.

10:51 Of course, I missed them too.

10:53 But it looks like he's already on the road for Christmas

10:56 because he got a delayed bus.

10:59 The bus driver, Larry, said that there's a lot of traffic in Quezon.

11:03 He said that he traveled for only 7 hours yesterday.

11:06 It's already 14 hours.

11:08 The traffic is heavy.

11:10 From here to Santo Tomas, to Dulo, and Ragay.

11:14 We're already here. We're already on a diet.

11:16 When we arrived in Tabugon, the traffic is still heavy.

11:21 In the middle of the traffic in Maharlika Highway in Quezon, which is passed by Pabicol, Visayas and Mindanao,

11:26 the journey to Gumaca, which is less than half an hour long,

11:30 now reached five hours.

11:33 Aside from the heavy traffic, the DPWH said,

11:36 the roads are in a state of traffic breakdown and are still being repaired.

11:40 The rain is causing a rapid breakdown of our roads.

11:45 We only had one road repair that was built up yesterday.

11:50 We only had one road repair that was built up yesterday.

11:52 The vehicles are still being stuck in the narrowest part of the road.

11:56 In Maharlika Highway, there are four lanes.

12:03 Now, when it comes to portions that are narrow, it's back to two lanes.

12:09 The traffic in Quezon is also the reason why it was full and crowded yesterday in Pitex

12:14 because the buses didn't return immediately.

12:17 The number of passengers here yesterday was record-breaking,

12:20 exceeding 200,000, the most in the history of the terminal.

12:25 We have more additional trips,

12:27 but at the same time, the bus companies that are choosing our passengers are also in PITX.

12:34 They took the opportunity to go home earlier and the vacation is longer.

12:40 But earlier, the traffic in Pitex was already full and there are people who are returning to Pabicol.

12:45 For GMA Integrated News, Jonathan Andal, 24 Hours.

12:51 The message of President Bombo Marcos is centered on humanity.

13:02 Now, it's Christmas.

13:06 We are serving as a beacon of light and energy for each one of us

13:15 towards a more prosperous new Philippines.

13:19 In his video message, the President gave the fruits of the efforts of our fellow countrymen this year.

13:27 He also encouraged each one to spread love and happiness to each other,

13:33 especially to those in need.

13:35 He said that the light of Christmas is in understanding, listening, and helping each other.

13:42 A few hours before Christmas, we have a few countrymen who are in a hurry to buy.

13:48 From Quezon City, we have Jamie Sandoval.

13:51 Jamie?

13:58 Pia, there are still a lot of people in a hurry to buy their Christmas gifts.

14:05 That's why a mall here in Quezon City is full of people who are in a hurry to buy.

14:10 We have reached a mall here in Quezon City that is full of people who are in a hurry to buy and look for Christmas gifts.

14:24 This mall is full of toys for all ages.

14:28 The price of toys can reach up to Php 100.

14:33 For those who can afford to spend more on the budget, there are toys that can reach Php 2,500 to Php 10,000.

14:40 You can also buy ternong shirts and shorts that can reach Php 200 to Php 350 depending on the size.

14:47 We have talked to some Mami Mili who are doing last minute shopping for Christmas gifts.

14:53 They are hoping that someone will be able to buy them later.

14:57 I just have money now.

14:59 It's just now that it's off.

15:00 So, it's just now that it's time.

15:02 Whether they know or not that they want to buy a gift, what's important is the thought that counts.

15:08 I'm in a rush. I'm busy with work.

15:11 I'll just buy it.

15:12 I'm just in a hurry. I'm busy.

15:15 Do you have any Christmas gift requests?

15:18 I still have toys.

15:20 [ambient noise]

15:25 [reporter speaking in Tagalog]

15:48 [reporter speaking in Tagalog]

15:52 Merry Christmas and happy shopping!

15:55 Thank you very much, Jamie Santos.

15:58 [music]

15:59 And it's literally a cold Christmas.

16:01 They chose to spend Christmas Eve and Christmas in Baguio City.

16:05 As a bonus to those who went there, the Cannon Road is reopening.

16:09 And from the City of Pines, live from the city,

16:11 this is Johan from Zon, JT Ritual TV, One North, Central Luzon.

16:16 Johan?

16:18 Ivan, Merry Christmas!

16:24 It's a great time here in Baguio City.

16:27 And the vacationers are enjoying the cold weather here in the area.

16:34 The Cannon Road was opened to motorists after it was temporarily closed due to the rehabilitation of the calamities.

16:45 Of course, that's what the Antonio family chose to go through from Bulacan because it's a faster trip.

16:52 It's fast and near, even if it's a bit high.

16:55 There's no traffic on the Cannon Road, except in Camp 6, which is a one-way lane.

17:01 When it comes to Camp 7, people are lining up to take a selfie in the famous Lion's Head.

17:07 To say that we're in Baguio.

17:10 When it comes to the city proper, the heavy traffic is already over.

17:14 Our tourist spots this morning were not available.

17:17 The volume of vehicles did not go down.

17:20 Aside from the Christmas festivities, the tourists are also packed in the shopping malls.

17:26 Ivan, the Cannon Road will remain open until January 13, 2024.

17:36 Visitors are expected to come here in the City of Pines until the new year.

17:41 Ivan, the parking problem here is a problem.

17:44 That's why vacationers and tourists are being told to utilize public utility vehicles and not bring their cars.

17:53 The authorities will still ticket illegal parking.

17:56 Ivan?

17:57 Merry Christmas and thank you very much, John Ponsoy of GMA Regional TV One North, Central Luzon.

18:09 We'll be back with more updates on the showbiz happening.

18:12 Aside from family bonding this Christmas,

18:14 Keline Ramos is also excited to release Metro Manila Film Fest Entry,

18:19 which is a budget-based film that will be directed by Jose Rizal.

18:23 Tomorrow, right on Christmas, the screening of MMFF entries will begin.

18:28 The GMA Pictures and GMA Public Affairs' Firefly will be aired at night.

18:32 On Wednesday, Parangal will air at night.

18:37 K-pop news, Blackpink member Jennie started her solo journey

18:42 when she started her company, OA or Odd Atiee.

18:46 She will run the company alongside her activities as a member of Blackpink.

18:53 The Christians in Bethlehem were given a sad Christmas vigil

19:01 where Jesus Christ was crucified.

19:03 They are preparing a dark and gloomy village at Nativity Church in Manger Square.

19:09 The design of the Sabbath in the village is the symbols of their war of liberation

19:16 during the war between Israel and Hamas.

19:18 Their prayers and calls stopped the fighting in the Gaza Strip.

19:23 US President Joe Biden said that they talked to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu

19:30 but he did not ask for a ceasefire.

19:33 That's even though the US said that it is in charge of the number of deaths

19:37 and the humanitarian crisis in Gaza.

19:40 The Philippine basketball legend Avelino "Samboy" Lim turned 61.

19:48 He announced the birth of the so-called "The Skywalker" in his official social media account.

19:54 Lim is with his family, the late CUP College of Law Dean, Atty. Darlene Berberabe,

20:00 their son, Jamie, and some close friends.

20:04 In November 2014, Lim collapsed in an exhibition game after suffering a heart attack.

20:09 He was in a coma and passed away in January 2015.

20:13 Lim is one of the 25 greatest players of the PBA.

20:17 Lim's family and friends, boxing champ Manny Pacquiao, are also in mourning.

20:23 The death of "Samboy" as a sports icon will not be forgotten and will remain an inspiration for everyone.

20:30 Sian Lim and Kim Chu confirmed that they are separated after 12 years of relationship.

20:40 In their IG accounts, they posted their messages for each other.

20:45 "End of a love story" is the description of their showtime host, Kim,

20:49 for Sian's separation. He thanked his ex-boyfriend for their memories.

20:55 He also asked for understanding and respect from fans.

20:58 In Sian's post, he thanked Kim and said that the best gift they shared for 12 years is their relationship.

21:06 Each night, their hearts and sparkles stars are also enjoying their holidays with their families.

21:18 This is Oprah's story.

21:20 Looking forward to the celebrities' families' night.

21:28 Asia's multimedia star Alden Richards is craving for his grandmother's special spaghetti.

21:34 It's a common request.

21:37 My grandmother's spaghetti has something that no one else has.

21:43 What does spaghetti have?

21:45 That's what she doesn't want to teach.

21:48 The specialty of his grandfather and grandmother is what the Makiling star El Villanueva is looking forward to.

21:55 It's really paella because we always order paella or my grandmother cooks paella.

22:02 So every Christmas, I'm really looking forward to cooking for my family, especially my grandmother and grandfather.

22:10 His Makiling leading man, Derek Monasterio, is not on a diet.

22:15 That's why he's sugar overloaded for their Christmas dinner.

22:18 I really like mango float, leche flan, and fruit salad.

22:25 I think I'll eat 30% of the main dish and 70% of the dessert.

22:30 Their Makiling co-stars also have their own Noche Buena staples.

22:35 Cake.

22:37 There's always cake? There's always cake. It says "Merry Christmas and Happy Birthday Jesus."

22:41 Cheese and alcohol. Do they have to be paired?

22:45 Lechon. Literally, lechon. If you see our pictures during Noche Buena, there's always lechon.

22:51 Lechon is also a must-have on the Noche Buena table of my co-star's husband, Martin Del Rosario.

22:57 This year, we can't not have it. We love lechon as a family.

23:04 And for Lisan Lopez, she said, "Everything is gone, except for..."

23:08 Oh my God, my family.

23:10 Don't let them go.

23:12 Of course, ham. We love ham.

23:16 And bibingka, like that.

23:19 Obrikarambel, updated to showbiz.

23:22 Happy next!

23:23 If the birth of Jesus is really a miracle because it was the Virgin Mary who gave birth to him.

23:32 Another miracle was a woman in Alabama, America.

23:35 Because she had two matrices and she gave birth to twins.

23:40 Kelsey's pregnancy journey was really a one-in-a-million.

23:49 Her twin was born from her separated matrice.

23:53 Her case is called "Decavitary Pregnancy."

23:58 And the birthdays of the two were different.

24:00 The first baby was born on December 19 via normal delivery.

24:04 While the second was born the next day via cesarean section.

24:09 The labor took 20 hours.

24:12 Her twins were healthy, Roxie and Rebel.

24:17 #FeelingBlessed are some of our fellow Filipinos who are hopeful that their Christmas will be happy.

24:25 Just like the families who came to Luneta this Christmas Eve.

24:30 And Obrikarambel is live.

24:32 Obri!

24:35 Nelson, we have a lot of people who are praying here in Luneta Park and some of them.

24:42 We asked them what their Christmas wish is and if they are #FeelingBlessed this year.

24:47 And their answers are as follows from the results of a Christmas survey.

24:52 [City sounds]

24:56 In the survey of Social Weather Station, SWS, of 1,200 adult Filipinos,

25:02 of December 8 to 11, 70% of adult Filipinos are hoping that they will be happy this Christmas.

25:09 6% are sad and 21% are divided in reaction.

25:14 In the question of the upcoming Christmas and the end of the year,

25:18 what are the one or two things that you are most thankful for in your life now?

25:23 51% are thankful for good health.

25:27 29% are thankful for family.

25:30 16% are thankful because they are alive.

25:35 In Luneta, many are praying this Christmas Eve.

25:39 Others are with their family in the prayer.

25:43 #FeelingBlessed are you now in 2023?

25:46 Yes.

25:47 Why?

25:48 Because of the family who supports me and the love of my family also,

25:53 and especially my child.

25:56 Someone already fulfilled their wish this Christmas,

25:59 like Gemma who is with her daughter who came from a younger age.

26:03 My eldest daughter.

26:05 Since I gave birth, I am the only one who is with her.

26:10 What about those like Bryan who is an SMC or someone who will be with him this Christmas?

26:17 Bryan, what is your Christmas wish?

26:19 To have a boyfriend.

26:21 To have a boyfriend?

26:22 Because I don't have a boyfriend.

26:25 So that someone will love you this Christmas?

26:27 Yes.

26:33 Nelson, it's only 10 o'clock at night.

26:36 Luneta Park is open until tomorrow.

26:37 And for those who want to visit or go to the park tomorrow,

26:42 it's open from 5 in the morning until 1 in the early morning.

26:47 That's the latest.

26:48 Merry Christmas to you, Nelson.

26:50 Brie, for those who are visiting Luneta, what is the weather like there?

26:55 It might rain there.

27:00 Not really. It was a bit cloudy earlier but now it's gone.

27:04 And the wind is a bit cold so it's nice to walk.

27:07 That's why you can see that there are a lot of people here in Luneta.

27:11 Merry Christmas and thank you very much, Obri Carampel.

27:15 The Christmas is a heartwarming time, not only for the children but also for the adults.

27:28 It's also for the pets because they deserve to enjoy.

27:33 Just like in San Pedro, Laguna where Elmira Salanga's friend is going to play a traditional Christmas game.

27:44 And their target is to make the rescued pets happy from an animal shelter.

27:48 Using dog treats that are made from bamboo, the fur babies enjoy and play.

27:55 Like Elmira, their friends are traditional in making outreach programs.

28:00 Ivan, there's no countdown because tomorrow is Christmas.

28:09 So be careful to those who are traveling or those who are already traveling or those who are in a team house.

28:15 And our prayers are to be saved, be saved, be saved and have a happy Christmas for all of us.

28:22 And those are the news this Christmas for a bigger mission and a wider service to the country.
