00:00 [Gunshots]

00:02 [Whistle]

00:04 We will all be together in Sakisi!

00:08 Why is there a 76 fireworks related injury in the country?

00:17 According to the Department of Health,

00:20 the woman who lost her hearing due to the noise of the whistling,

00:23 witness, Emil Sumangil.

00:29 There are fire extinguishers in every place

00:32 and no one is selling illegal fireworks.

00:34 The designated area of selling fireworks in Taktak Road, Antipolo

00:37 should have been inspected already.

00:39 But before the police could leave,

00:42 they discovered that someone is selling illegal fireworks,

00:45 like a swat.

00:46 Do you know that you are not allowed to sell fireworks?

00:48 No, that's why we are just there.

00:50 We didn't hide anything.

00:52 The fireworks sellers in Bangketa, Kogyo,

00:55 where there is no designated area,

00:57 are selling illegal fireworks on Marilake Road.

01:01 This is included in the reventador, which is called 3-star,

01:04 but the name was changed because it is almost the same as the 5-star.

01:09 All the fireworks sellers in the police station were invited,

01:12 while the ones in Samsam were disposed of before the new year.

01:16 This is also a part of our massive campaign

01:19 against prohibited firecrackers and pyrotechnics.

01:23 DILG said before that if the firecracker is over 1/3 teaspoon or 0.2 gram,

01:29 it is considered overweight or prohibited to sell.

01:32 The local firecrackers manufacturers

01:35 should look for where the materials are coming from,

01:37 like imported powder.

01:39 And why is this happening to the illegal fireworks sellers?

01:42 It is surprising, as I mentioned earlier,

01:45 even to the online sellers,

01:48 they are selling illegal chemicals.

01:50 PNP is talking to their online selling platform,

01:54 which is called Coolier Services,

01:55 to stop the online sales of fireworks,

01:57 which is prohibited, especially since it is difficult to monitor.

02:00 Local government units are also making efforts

02:04 in coordinating with our cargo forwarders.

02:10 They have already talked to them, and we are also coordinating.

02:14 Also, our efforts include law enforcement,

02:17 the entrapment operation.

02:18 Metro Manila Council encouraged the public

02:20 to hold their own fireworks in their homes.

02:23 If the LGU itself will be the host of the fireworks display,

02:28 the mayors can make sure that we have emergency responders,

02:33 police, and our firework display operators will be professional.

02:39 This will be the reason for the celebration of the new year.

02:45 According to the DOH, there are 76 firework related injuries in the country.

02:49 In 8 new cases, a woman from Central Luzon experienced hearing loss.

02:54 According to the DOH, the sound of the explosion reaches 140-150 decibels

03:00 from the explosions.

03:01 If the sound is more than 120 decibels,

03:04 it can be heard in the ears.

03:06 Authorities remind...

03:08 We have headphones with noise cancelling,

03:10 but if you're at home, you can use earplugs.

03:15 Don't attempt to put cotton balls in your ears.

03:19 It can really go inside accidentally.

03:22 Avoid the loud areas.

03:25 According to the DOH, the cold light alert for the entire health sector

03:28 is now up until January 4

03:29 to make sure that there are enough medicines, supplies, and people

03:32 who will respond to the explosions this new year.

03:35 For GMA Integrated News, I'm Emil Sumangil, your witness.

03:40 Some passengers went to the port early even though it's not yet the day of their trip.

03:45 Witnessing live, Denisse Abante of GMA Regional TV, Balitang Southern Tagalog.

03:50 Denisse?

03:51 Even though it's only three days before the new year,

03:57 some passengers are still chasing the boat to cross the sea tonight.

04:05 From December 15 until now, more than 250,000 passengers have crossed the sea

04:12 to different provinces, from Batangas Port, according to the Port Manager of PBA Batangas.

04:20 The most number of passengers was estimated to be 28,000 on December 23.

04:25 It is still possible for more passengers to cross the sea tonight.

04:29 Some are chasing the boat.

04:31 We might see more passengers now, but the number is slowly increasing.

04:37 Our border is not closing.

04:39 Unlike the first days before Christmas, it's really crowded.

04:44 Unlike the previous days, there was no long line in front of the ticketing booth inside the port.

04:51 But some passengers who did not make it to the boat's journey

04:54 just passed through the terminal building last night.

04:58 Just like this woman who went to Ojongan, Romblon.

05:01 It's hard to go back and forth. It's far.

05:04 It's expensive. I can't afford it.

05:08 The passenger, Joyette, and her child did not make it to the boat's journey last night.

05:14 The place is safe. The restroom is there.

05:20 It's important because it's tiring to travel.

05:24 I have a child with me.

05:26 Marina 4 said that the number of boats traveling is sufficient

05:29 and the relaxation order for the boats is still high until January 3.

05:33 It means that the boats are full and there is no longer any waiting time to leave.

05:39 They can cross the sea right away to return and the passengers will be able to bring the goods quickly.

05:46 Philippine Coast Guard reminds that it is prohibited to enter the boat.

05:52 [music]

06:00 Connie told us earlier that the PPA Batangas is still in charge

06:03 if the number of passengers who did not make it to the boat's journey continues tonight,

06:07 more than 20,000 embarking passengers will be able to reach the port tonight.

06:12 This is more than last year.

06:15 Live from Batangas Port for GMA Integrated News,

06:19 I am Denise Abonte, your "Saksi."

06:22 From today until the weekend,

06:25 tourists in Baguio City are expected to exceed 100,000.

06:29 "Saksi Live" is Jasmine Gabriel Galvan of GMA Regional TV 1, North Central Luzon.

06:35 Jasmine?

06:36 Connie, at this time, there are still a lot of tourists

06:42 who are walking around Burnham Park in Baguio City.

06:45 [music]

06:49 To make a quick trip to the City of Pines,

06:51 the Manza family traveled early from Girona, Tarlac.

06:55 Among their itineraries are Mines View Park, Botanical Garden, and Burnham Park.

07:00 The family's first stop is Lion's Head on Cannon Road,

07:03 which is a proof that they arrived and made it to Baguio City this holiday season.

07:08 They are also photographed wearing the big Cordillera costume.

07:11 Baguio is Baguio. Best experience.

07:13 These friends from Laguna have not been planning to stay in Baguio for a long time.

07:19 And even though they have been to many beautiful places,

07:22 the City of Pines' beauty is still lacking.

07:25 Baguio is the only place that I think of as cold.

07:28 And the views.

07:31 A few days before the city said goodbye in 2023,

07:34 there are still a lot of tourists who are trying to get there.

07:38 In the new year, the Botanical Garden is open from 7am to 8pm.

07:44 It is closed on January 1.

07:46 In Burnham Park, the bike lane is almost not falling.

07:50 Enjoy the boat ride of a few more tourists.

07:53 From today until the weekend,

07:55 tourists who will climb the mountain are expected to exceed 100,000.

08:00 For now, the afternoon has been a relaxed day for the traffic.

08:04 The temporary opening of the Cannon Road is a big help to motorists.

08:08 The same is the implementation of Vacation Lane on Marcos Highway.

08:11 A few schools in the city were also opened to temporarily make it a parking area

08:16 due to the problem with the road.

08:18 Baguio City National High School and Manuel Alcazar Elementary School were also opened.

08:24 Our traffic enforcement unit of the Baguio City Police Office and the City Government are coordinating.

08:31 We are not using it this holiday season.

08:34 We will open it to commuters.

08:36 The City Government is preparing for the New Year's countdown.

08:46 The same is the fireworks display that will be held in Melvin Jones in Burnham Park.

08:51 Live from Baguio City, I'm Jasmine Gabriel Galvan, your witness.

08:59 Paying off the OFWs who used to work for the companies that were damaged in Saudi Arabia has improved.

09:05 But even though there are checks from the Saudi government, there are still some challenges.

09:11 Witness, JP Soriano.

09:14 Homer happily showed us a copy of the check from the government of Saudi Arabia.

09:23 He is one of more than 10,000 OFWs who have unpaid wages and benefits

09:29 from the Saudi companies that were damaged in 2016.

09:34 The money was promised by the Saudi government.

09:37 My name, I was surprised, I was paying off the salary.

09:47 I really worked hard for 23 years.

09:51 I'm happy because we've waited for a long time.

09:54 The claimants are receiving communications from Saudi entities in fulfillment of the promise of the countries.

10:04 As we speak, there are certain challenges.

10:08 This includes the fact that the right person will be named by the cheque

10:12 if the claimant has already paid off the amount of waiting.

10:16 The issue of paying off the cheque is also a challenge because it was issued by a bank in Saudi Arabia.

10:22 So we are presently in communication with OF Bank to help and assist all our workers to finally receive and pay off the cheques.

10:33 But there are some, like Eduardo, who have not yet received the cheque.

10:38 I hope that PBBM and the Department of Paid Land For Care will help us to get our share.

10:48 The DMW assured that the negotiations in Saudi Arabia will continue for the distribution of the cheque

10:55 while the payment of the debt of the Saudis to the Filipino workers is finalized.

11:01 The wide recruitment of Saudis to the Filipino skilled and healthcare workers will continue.

11:07 At the year-end conference, the Department of Migrant Workers said that the overseas employment contract given by the OECD is all-time high,

11:14 and that the number of Filipino workers given by the OECD is up to 2.8 million.

11:18 And in 2024, it is possible that more Filipinos will have jobs abroad.

11:23 One of them is the nurse from Zamboanga, ID, who is applying to Saudi as a nurse.

11:29 Life here in the Philippines is hard. We don't easily get in government hospitals.

11:37 It's better in Saudi Arabia because with the experience and the qualification, we can easily leave.

11:44 But not only in the Middle East, the Filipino workers will be in demand.

11:48 Thousands of Filipino workers will also be needed in Europe in 2024.

11:54 We also receive information that countries such as Croatia, Czech Republic are looking at hiring between 5,000 to 10,000 workers from the Philippines.

12:06 For GMA Integrated News, J.P. Soriano, your "Saksi."

12:11 Before bedtime, some doctors advised to drink a lot of alcohol.

12:18 But the fruit they eat is expensive. "Saksi" is Tina Pangaliban Perez.

12:24 Helen Lanceta came from Cavite to attend church in Quepo Church.

12:33 She also accompanied the purchase of fruits for midnight. But she realized,

12:38 It's too expensive. I don't complete it. It's up to the person. It's not in the fruit basket.

12:45 Now, seedless grapes are already at P300 per kilo. It's cheaper than P100 if it has seeds.

12:52 Fuji apples are already P3,400. Jumbo sagada orange is P100 per piece.

12:59 The lemon from America is P50 per piece. While the longan is P240 per kilo.

13:06 It's expensive. The price of apples didn't go down. It's P320 now. It's P35 now.

13:16 The vendor in April said that they got expensive fruits so their hopes are high for those who will buy.

13:23 We didn't get expensive. We just got expensive fruits.

13:27 We just grow apples. In a month, we grow P220, P250.

13:31 But the sales now? It's still low. Of course, people are really struggling.

13:37 And they can only afford the budget. It's not like before.

13:43 The sales of ham is not as strong as the past Christmas.

13:48 Even though there are no customers.

13:51 It's okay. It's just that it's not like before.

13:55 When December came, they increased the price of ham by P40 per kilo.

14:01 So they are discarding their ham to taste it even though the budget is tight.

14:06 They can buy 1/4. They can buy even a little.

14:09 Scrap and slice. Because the budget is high. It's expensive but it's worth it.

14:17 Some of them are also selling gold coins that are a symbol of money and prosperity.

14:23 Whatever the belief, whether the budget is big or not,

14:27 what's important is to save and build the family in celebrating the new year.

14:33 To be careful with alcohol, doctors have recommended how much you can drink in a day.

14:41 Two small bottles for beer and two shot glasses for hard liquor.

14:47 If we always drink, our tolerance to alcohol also increases.

14:52 But there is a limit.

14:54 So you can also go home with alcohol poisoning even if you have tolerance to alcohol.

14:59 The liver is affected because it is also processed by alcohol.

15:03 For GMA Integrated News, Tina Panganipan Perez is your witness.

15:09 My fellow countrymen, in the last weekend of 2023 until the new year,

15:15 there is no sign of a storm or bad weather.

15:19 But be prepared for the rainfall of the cold and easterly winds.

15:24 Based on the data of Metro Weather, there will be rain tomorrow in some parts of Northern and Central Luzon,

15:29 Quezon, Bicol Region, Mindoro Provinces, Eastern and Central Visayas, and a large part of Mindanao.

15:37 On Sunday, other parts of Southern Luzon and Visayas will also be raining.

15:42 The chance of rain in Metro Manila is low but there will still be a storm.

15:47 Meanwhile, based on the outlook of the forecast for the new year, January 1, 2024,

15:53 there will be heavy rain and the chance of rain in the eastern section of Northern and Central Luzon.

16:00 There will be light rain in the remaining part of Luzon and Metro Manila.

16:05 The bonding for families and friends is also in full swing before the end of 2023.

16:15 To those looking for an adrenaline rush,

16:18 the extreme rides of a theme park in Laguna are a must.

16:21 And the witness is Katrina Son.

16:24 Happy New Year!

16:26 Only a few are getting old.

16:28 This is Seni Virginia Caparaz and her 10 siblings.

16:33 So when the family bonding was allowed before the new year,

16:37 they decided to go to a theme park in Santa Rosa, Laguna.

16:42 They didn't get caught even in the extreme rides.

16:45 I'm still young.

16:47 It's like going back to my childhood and I'm still wearing a t-shirt when I ride.

16:53 The adrenaline rush that these rides will give is different.

17:00 Here it is.

17:01 And they tried the Anchors Away at the same time.

17:09 It's like nothing happened.

17:12 It's good to be young.

17:14 I'm still wearing a t-shirt.

17:16 The couple Linda and Redinto Esguerra didn't get caught in the rides.

17:23 But since they're old, they decided to stay here in the carousel.

17:27 Excited.

17:28 I'm getting used to it.

17:31 I'm not going to get bored.

17:34 The carousel is a crowd favorite.

17:36 Roller coaster.

17:38 Bump and Splash.

17:40 Disco Magic.

17:42 Flying Fiesta.

17:44 For those who are looking for an exciting adventure,

17:48 this ride is for you.

17:51 You can also watch performances.

17:55 Aside from the rides,

18:00 there are also other skill games that you can try.

18:08 Everyone is enjoying the foam up.

18:15 It is absolutely enchanting.

18:18 The kids love it so much and it's a great day out.

18:21 You can also watch a digital show on the social media page of this theme park.

18:26 We will show a New Year's Eve pre-game concert.

18:31 For those who can't go to New Year's,

18:33 and you want to enjoy your favorite bands.

18:37 For Jimmy Integrated News,

18:39 Katrina Son is your witness.

18:50 There are also many movies featuring Jimmy Pictures and Jimmy Public Affairs.

18:57 It has the experience of watching in Bacolod, Tacloban, Rojas, and Naga.

19:03 Also in Tuguegarao, Iloilo, Daet, Butuan, and Cagayan de Oro City.

19:09 In a mall in Quezon City,

19:11 fans of Firefly Stars, Isabel Ortega and Miguel Tan Felix,

19:14 are having a block screening.

19:17 The writer of the movie, Jimmy Public Affairs Senior Assistant Vice President,

19:22 Angeli Atienza, also attended.

19:24 Jimmy Integrated News reporters also attended the block screening.

19:28 Joining them is 24 Hours anchor, Mel Tiangco.

19:32 Someone will return to the Mall of Asia before the end of 2023.

19:46 That's Kapuso Countdown to 2024.

19:49 In the weekly Star Studded Lineup,

19:51 Kapuso Stars will bring explosive performances like

19:55 Julian San Jose, Raver Cruz, Ken Chan, Christian Bautista, Andrea Torres,

20:02 Sanya Lopez, Miss Universe Philippines Michelle D, and many more.

20:07 Kapuso Stars are also excited in the middle of rehearsals for their performances.

20:13 The stage is being set up and security is being laid.

20:17 The PNP has decided to put a tight security for everyone's safety.

20:22 A magician burned the papers in the middle of Times Square in New York, USA.

20:30 That's part of Good Riddance Day,

20:32 where the bad and negative memories are symbolically scattered like magic

20:38 before the new year comes.

20:40 Good Riddance Day has been held in New York for 17 years.

20:44 Some of the people who wrote the papers are people with personal problems,

20:48 like illness, and even political issues like wars.

20:53 A teacher in Sorsogon, USA.

21:04 He gave more than 200 students a gift.

21:09 Teacher John Romel Leoncito drew portraits of his students

21:14 in Sorsogon State University.

21:16 He spent 8 days on the work,

21:19 along with his work as a teacher.

21:22 According to John Romel,

21:24 after he passed the Licensure Examination for Teachers this March,

21:28 he thought of thanking the students through making portraits

21:32 for the first batch of his students.

21:35 His students were filled with gratitude and the netizens were amazed.

21:41 Thank you for watching.

21:45 I'm Arnold Clavio.
