06:35 For example, the remittances of the OFWs, there will be increase in cost, more requirements, stringent requirements,
06:43 or sometimes the risking or sometimes the transactions may be denied or disapproved.
06:48 We are in the grill since the beginning of 2021 due to some deficiencies that the President is stopping in the first Cabinet meeting of the year.
06:57 He is hastening the actions for Anti-Money Laundering Council or AMLAC and other agencies.
07:02 According to AMLAC, from the previous 18, only 8 deficiencies need to be fixed,
07:06 including the more effective enforcement in non-financial businesses like jewelry shops, real estate and casinos,
07:13 and professions like lawyers and accountants, and the enforcement of investigation and blocking of money laundering and terrorist financing.
07:21 He is also tightening the enforcement of money entering the provinces and provinces.
07:26 The President directed all government agencies concerned to swiftly address the remaining strategic deficiencies.
07:33 The deadline for the Philippines should be January 2023, but it was extended until this month.
07:38 If the blacklist is not pursued and continued, the OFWs will not be affected.
07:44 There's already a reputational risk on the Philippines, particularly on the economy.
07:50 It may affect our credit rating. It may also affect foreign direct investments in the Philippines.
07:57 It's a waste if the country's population will be affected.
07:59 Jobs are increasing and of course, the Philippines are increasing their spending.
08:05 We also need to improve our credit rating so the country can easily borrow money for its projects and services, especially for the poor.
08:13 For GMA Integrated News, Ivan Mayrina, for Tutok 24 Hours.
08:17 Following the deadline, the LTFRB rejected the application for the consolidation of several Jeepney drivers.
08:27 One of the complainants said that the cooperative is still refusing to consolidate the Jeepney drivers.
08:33 There are old Jeepneys that are still being used.
08:36 Jonathan Andal and Ian Cruz were on the scene.
08:39 Pedro Dulin returned to the LTFRB to pursue his three Jeepneys under the Modernization Program in the route that Elsa Shou took.
08:51 But he was given a copy of the memo that said that the deadline is December 31.
08:57 He also approached the coop on November 15 but he was told that they are not accepting new members.
09:06 The old Jeepneys like him have no visa and the coop will give the Jeepneys like the one that did not accept him.
09:15 They are the ones who are pitiful.
09:17 I hope that the operators will still give us the opportunity to be a member of the Jeepney Modernization Program.
09:31 He also insisted twice that he should approach the LTFRB before the deadline after the coop rejected him.
09:37 Earlier, the LTFRB appointed him to the Office of Transportation Cooperatives or OTC of the DOTR.
09:46 What I can do as an OTC is to talk to the cooperative.
09:53 I will see what else I can do.
09:57 The OTC added that the deadline is already over.
10:01 Drivers can work as drivers if they will apply to the coop that can get new routes.
10:09 In my conversation with several cooperatives, they said that they need drivers.
10:15 They will be given 30 days or due process to apply for the drivers.
10:21 As of now, they can apply because of the 30 days that the LTFRB said.
10:28 So, maybe they will speed up the process and they will be back to their job as drivers and members of the cooperative.
10:36 According to the OTC of the DOTR, 70% of the franchisees have consolidated nationwide.
10:43 40% in Metro Manila, it is possible that it has already increased.
10:48 Many are chasing the deadline but the OTC has not given an estimate yet.
10:53 Let's give the LTFRB one or two days.
10:57 They will have a board meeting and definitely the final number about the consolidation will be released.
11:03 It is important to know how many are really chasing the consolidation and if they are enough for commuters.
11:10 In Elliptical Road in Quezon City, there are still many traditional jeepneys because many have reached the consolidation.
11:17 But the problem of a driver is how to change the new unit of the modern jeep.
11:22 They hope that the cooperative and the government can help them to get a suitable unit.
11:28 If it is not possible, I will not do it.
11:31 The unit is very expensive.
11:34 You will just have to pay?
11:36 Yes, just like that.
11:38 But if it is possible, we will also allow it.
11:42 In Karugtong, Commonwealth Avenue, we also did not see anyone who had a hard time riding this morning.
11:47 Did you have a hard time riding this morning?
11:49 Not really.
11:50 How many minutes did you wait before you could ride?
11:52 About 5 to 10 minutes.
11:54 There are also many jeepneys on the Tepaspasig Route.
11:57 Their journey continues even though none of the 100 jeepneys in their group joined any cooperative.
12:04 We know what consolidation means.
12:06 It is where you are surrendering your franchise.
12:09 We are the ones who are surrendering our franchise and the negotiators are just waiting for us to let our vehicle rot here.
12:17 In the LTFRB memorandum, it is stated that it is still allowed for people who did not join a cooperative
12:23 to ride on the Tepaspasig Route.
12:27 The jeepneys that consolidated are less than 60%.
12:31 Abraham copied the memo because he did not join the consolidation.
12:36 This is for us to settle.
12:40 We have a month to settle.
12:44 We are trying to get the LTFRB's shares, including the franchise holders like Pedro Dulit.
12:51 For GMA Integrated News, I am Jonathan Andala.
12:54 And Ian Cruz. We are here for 24 Hours.
12:58 Just a week before the translation of the Black Nazareno to Quiapo, Manila.
13:05 And as part of the preparation, security, especially the expected rapid decline of devotees after 3 years.
13:13 Maki Pulido is here.
13:19 We are happy. Not only the devotees, but all the believers.
13:25 The Cebuans are happy because after 3 years, the translation that was suspended due to the COVID-19 pandemic will be repeated.
13:33 As was done after the 4 a.m. mass at Luneta Grandstand on January 9, the procession will be pushed back to Quiapo Church.
13:40 The procession will also return to start after the 6 p.m. mass on January 6.
13:45 Tomorrow, January 3 to 4 at 1.30 p.m., the blessing will be given to the replicas of the Black Nazareno.
13:52 It will follow a short procession on Cariedo Avenue, Quezon Boulevard until the Plaza Miranda returns.
13:59 With your help, let us make the Nazareno 2024 holy, safe and proper.
14:07 The area around Quiapo Church is also being prepared.
14:10 The steel fence around Plaza Miranda is still being placed to help with crowd control.
14:15 Especially at Villa Lobo Street, the entrance for those who want to enter the church is still there.
14:19 Holes and cracks in the road are being cemented because of the many devotees.
14:24 Sidewalk vendors will also start to remove the roadblocks.
14:29 Silus Viminda will first sell directly.
14:32 We are just explaining it to you so that you can understand.
14:36 Like the previous translations, the signal can be jammed on the road and around Quiapo Church.
14:42 Philippine National Police or PNP's instruction,
14:45 you are not allowed to use a backpack, wear a bull cap and bring a liquid canister.
14:49 Instead of a umbrella, just bring a white one.
14:51 Do not bring sharp objects, even a nail cutter.
14:54 We did not expect that if it was in the rain and it fell, it could be a impact or injury.
15:00 It is also said that if a person with disability or has a severe illness, do not force to do a translation.
15:05 That's why Jimuel, who has a mild stroke, will just continue to worship at Pista ng Itim na Nazareno.
15:10 If I give up, no one will help me. I will just continue to worship.
15:15 For GMA Integrated News, Mackie Pulido, 24 Hours.
15:20 The Makati Yellow and Blue Card residents of Embo Barangay, which is now occupied by Taguig City, have no visa.
15:29 There are many benefits from this, especially in providing hospitals and medicines.
15:33 Dano Tincunco was able to point it out.
15:35 Since yesterday, Makati's Yellow Card residents of Embo Barangay have no visa,
15:45 except if they are employed by the Makati City Government.
15:48 That is in accordance with the Supreme Court's order that they are no longer included in Makati and are now included in Taguig City.
15:55 The Makati City Government's Yellow Card residents have health care and maintenance medicine, including hypertension and diabetes.
16:03 Their bill is also free in Makati Hospital, Barangay Health Center, Satellite Laboratory, and Child Care, if it does not exceed P5,000.
16:12 If it exceeds P5,000, they will only pay P500.
16:17 Even the Blue Card residents of Embo Barangay, who are now occupied by Taguig City, have no visa.
16:22 That is why they are no longer free from the fines in Makati.
16:25 Makati City Hall will no longer give cake every birthday and P100,000 cash for every 100th birthday.
16:32 It's a bit disappointing because we are used to that.
16:35 We are not getting a discount on the Yellow Card.
16:37 It's a big loss if you have a Yellow Card.
16:39 It's a big loss for us because it's important.
16:45 Makati City Hall will also stop their operations in health centers and lying-in clinics in 10 Embo Barangay because their license to operate has expired.
16:55 The residents of Embo Barangay are hoping that Taguig City Hall will pay their benefits.
17:02 I had my birthday on December 25.
17:05 I will submit this to Taguig now.
17:08 I will apply to Taguig.
17:10 Makati City Hall refused to allow the payment.
17:13 Taguig City Hall has no statement.
17:16 For GMA Integrated News, Dano Tingkong, for 24 Hours.
17:20 Self-restraint or stopping the operation of the banks that are going to be affected by the floods.
17:27 That is one of the statements of the foreign ministers of ASEAN,
17:32 a member of the South China Sea.
17:34 J.P. Sonian is in charge.
17:40 No action was taken by China against Philippine sea vehicles.
17:47 But the foreign ministers of ASEAN issued a statement.
17:51 or Association of Southeast Asian Nations, a member of the South China Sea.
17:56 The importance of freedom of navigation and navigation in the South China Sea was mentioned.
18:04 Respect for legal and diplomatic processes that do not violate or use force in accordance with international law, such as UNCLOS.
18:17 The need to restore and strengthen trust in each other and to stop the operation of things that are going to be affected by the floods was also mentioned.
18:29 The dialogue between Chinese President Xi Jinping and US President Joe Biden on the sidelines of the APEC Leaders Summit was welcomed.
18:39 The talks between President Bongbong Marcos and President Xi were not mentioned in the same meeting.
18:46 The National Task Force on the West Philippine Sea in the DFA has already approved the issue of the ASEAN statement.
18:55 The Chinese Embassy in the Philippines has not yet issued a statement on this.
19:00 For GMA Integrated News, J.P. Soriano, 24 Hours.
19:07 Manigong 2024 was the one who joined the ULTRA LOTOS 658.
19:15 His jackpot is almost Php 600 million.
19:19 Mav Gonzalez was on the line.
19:21 Mav Gonzalez.
19:22 The new year is really bright for the one who won Php 571 million ULTRA LOTO 658 jackpot on December 29.
19:35 Earlier, the lucky winner awarded his prize to the Philippine Charity Sweepstakes Office or PCSO along with his brother.
19:43 The lucky winner was encouraged because of the PCSO's generous gift where the Php 500 million jackpot is guaranteed.
19:51 She's a lady from Ligao, Alvay.
19:54 She's actually an employee in Ligao.
19:59 Lucky pick for two bets only, Php 40.
20:05 But she's a patron of our scratch-heat tickets.
20:11 She always bets there.
20:14 But for LOTO, according to her, this is the second time in her whole life.
20:20 The combination of the two winners is not taken seriously.
20:24 That's why she chose the lucky pick.
20:26 It means that the computer chose the numbers she bet on.
20:30 The winner's prize was in cash earlier, which was reduced by 20% tax.
20:34 This is the biggest LOTO jackpot in 2023.
20:38 That's why she's worried that the winner will be safe.
20:42 The prize is really that much, that big, unusual amount because of this additional prize jackpot provided and offered by the PCSO.
20:55 So she was really nervous.
20:58 In fact, she's a bit nervous.
21:03 Aside from her, there's another winner of the big LOTO jackpot in December.
21:08 We also have a 649, around Php 300 million something.
21:13 This is also this month, December.
21:17 Has it been claimed?
21:19 Yes, last week.
21:21 Not yet?
21:22 Not yet.
21:23 The 642 hasn't been claimed yet.
21:25 Ah, sorry.
21:26 So we're still waiting for it.
21:29 And that's from Quezon City.
21:31 642.
21:32 So in one year, since we've drawn the winning number, she has one year to play.
21:37 For now, there are two more jackpots that haven't been claimed yet.
21:40 The 649 LOTO jackpot will reach Php 505 million, while the 655 will reach Php 574 million.
21:48 The estimated jackpot for 642 is Php 103 to Php 107 million.
21:53 For GMA Integrated News, I'm Mav Gonzalez.
21:56 Staying tuned, 24 Hours.
21:59 [Music]
22:04 It's a tight time, the chance is low, but the possibility of a complete or incoming typhoon in the Philippine Area of Responsibility this month is not gone.
22:14 According to the forecast, it's possible that there will be one in five typhoons in January 2024, if it continues.
22:19 It could landfall in Caraga or Eastern Visayas.
22:23 But there are also chances that a typhoon will leave the country.
22:27 So there's a constant push for changes in the coming days.
22:31 This is the typhoon's name for this year.
22:35 The typhoon's name is repeated every four years.
22:38 But this year, in 2024, some of the names on the list are new names that were replaced by typhoons that had a significant effect and hit the country in 2020.
22:47 [Music]
22:50 Meanwhile, for the rainfall forecast for tomorrow, based on the Metro Weather, there will still be rain in some parts of Northern and Central Luzon, Quezon, Mimaropa and Bicol Regions in Metro Manila.
23:00 It's possible that there will be heavy rain in some places in the afternoon.
23:03 The chance of rain in Visayas is low, but it's possible that it will be in some places in Negros Provinces.
23:07 In the afternoon, it's expected to be rain in a large part of Mindanao.
23:11 There will be heavy to intense rains, so be alert for a flood or landslide.
23:15 [Music]
23:18 And how about the traffic situation in some main roads?
23:22 Now that the vacation for many people is over, and Mark Salazar is live.
23:26 [Music]
23:27 Mark.
23:28 Vicky, not to complain, but why is there no traffic in Enlex?
23:36 There is also no traffic in Eslex, that's what he's expecting, because of course, those who vacationed in the province will return to Metro Manila.
23:45 The Toll Regulatory Board has theories as to why.
23:49 In the afternoon, Enlex will return to Manila.
23:57 In the afternoon, the Eslex will also return to Manila because of the low volume.
24:02 The Toll Regulatory Board is also expecting that the motorists will go to the streets at the same time because there were only a few people who went out yesterday, January 1.
24:12 Yesterday, there was a time when there was a landslide after lunch.
24:18 It started from 1 o'clock to 2 o'clock.
24:21 It even lasted for a little time.
24:24 But it didn't last long.
24:26 It was a landslide.
24:28 But before 9 o'clock, we noticed that it already collapsed.
24:31 In Southwood, Southbound, there was a lot of traffic yesterday because there was a flood, according to the traffic monitoring center of Eslex.
24:39 But that was only for a short time.
24:41 The TRB is studying the daily traffic report of toll operators to understand the behavior of motorists during the holidays.
24:49 There were a lot of people returning during the holidays because our holidays are long.
24:57 Also, it is also possible that the majority did not go out.
25:01 Maybe not a lot of people went out of Metro Manila this time.
25:06 Another observation in December, there was the highest traffic on expressways last weekend of December 15 and 16.
25:14 It seems that more people went home when people will get their salary and bonus.
25:19 The traffic we experienced was heavy compared to the traffic on December 22 and 23, when Christmas is coming.
25:28 December 15 and 16 were even heavier.
25:32 We will look at the data.
25:35 This bus station in Edsa, Camuning was also shocked earlier.
25:39 The provinces' people were saved and many were disappointed.
25:43 It's still 6 p.m. There are buses but there are a lot of passengers. It's like it's not decreasing. There are a lot of people.
25:49 I'm having a hard time now because of the traffic. It's hurting.
25:52 The bus station staff said that their buses were stuck in the traffic of C5, so they could not return to the station.
26:04 The toll operators are still waiting because maybe tomorrow or the day after, there are still people returning to Metro Manila.
26:14 They are not yet making their way back.
26:16 But until this time, Vicky, the SLEX and NLEX, even though historically, the convergence points of those two expressways are still being filled,
26:27 the light is still remaining and the trips are still going on.
26:34 You will be trusted later, Mark. Thank you very much, Mark Salazar.
26:39 Exciting times ahead because we will be together for a big series in GMA,
26:48 with Carla Ballana and Bea Alonzo.
26:50 Bea is in Japan. How is she following Manitoude 7.6 that was hit there?
26:56 Let's talk to Aubrey Carampel.
26:58 The cats are out of the bag. That's what Carla Abeliana said on the first day of the new year
27:07 when she posted the teaser of the new series that is coming, GMA Prime series, The Widow's War.
27:12 For the Stolen Lifestar, it has two meanings.
27:16 First, she will remain loyal this 2024.
27:20 And finally, she will be able to work with the box office icon, Bea Alonzo.
27:26 Bea commented that she is excited to work with Carla.
27:30 But before the work, enjoy first in the Land of the Rising Sun, Bea,
27:35 which was held in 2024 with her fiancé, Dominic Roque.
27:40 They climbed Mount Muay Wa Sa Sapporo and there they were very cheesy and they were holding love locks.
27:47 They also threw away the sushi so that they will be together forever.
27:51 Bea also tried skiing in Hokkaido.
27:54 And like skiing, we will learn to hug the things that we don't know yet.
28:00 Meanwhile, Bea heard the news of the Manitoude 7.6 earthquake that hit Japan yesterday.
28:07 They are safe and she is praying for all those affected by the earthquake.
28:13 She is also praying that there will be no aftershocks.
28:17 Obrigarampel, updated to Showbiz Happening.
28:20 Let's quickly check the updated to Showbiz Happening.
28:27 Asia's Multimedia Star turns 32.
28:30 In her IG, Alden shared some dapper portraits that were posted by fans.
28:35 And birthday greetings also came from her friends and family.
28:39 Happy birthday, Alden!
28:43 Christmas in the land of the rising sun.
28:46 That is the birth of the family of Dennis Trillo and Jeneline Marcado who enjoyed the happy Tokyo holidays.
28:52 And aside from vacation, Jen also enjoyed her adrenaline junkieness.
28:57 She flexed her driving of the big bike.
29:00 She flexed her--
29:03 Alright, she flexed her dream car, Gillian Ward, her deadly waistline.
29:12 That is a highlight in a TikTok dance cover that was posted by fans and has 8 million views.
29:18 A jeepney fell 14 times on a creek in Andepolo City.
29:24 At 2 p.m. yesterday, the jeepney fell and hit the barrier of the creek.
29:38 This happened in the middle of the circumferential road in Barangay San Isidro.
29:43 According to the police, the jeepney fell on the roadside.
29:47 So instead of being disgraced, the driver just pulled it over.
29:51 The driver who was facing the creek was hit from behind.
29:55 A police officer was shocked after he shot himself in Davao del Sur.
30:04 The victim, patrolman Janiel Salip Pepito, was recognized by the Bansalan Municipal Police Station.
30:11 Pepito's mother saw her while cleaning the gun before she heard the gunshot.
30:19 The victim was rushed to the hospital but was declared dead on arrival.
30:24 A few youths in Davao City welcomed the new year.
30:31 Two groups of minors were seen on the roadside.
30:36 Our General Ator was able to catch up with them.
30:41 At 12.18 p.m. yesterday, a group of youths were picked up
30:50 from the 5-kilometer Matina-Pangi Road in Barangay Matina Crossing, Davao City.
30:55 They were picked up from Puroc 2 and Puroc 3 on the opposite side of the highway.
30:59 Some of the vehicles were stopped to celebrate their viral dance challenge.
31:05 At 12.26 p.m., a man was seen being hit from behind.
31:10 Later, there was a commotion until it reached the rumble of the youths.
31:16 Some of them were seen holding hands but then another man was suddenly hit.
31:20 That's why the rumble continued.
31:23 Alias Troy, 15 years old, was injured. He was just a target for a group of youths who were carrying stones.
31:31 They were carrying stones. I was scared.
31:36 I didn't want to be a victim of the rumble. I was just a servant.
31:40 I was just a servant. I was just a servant.
31:42 I was just a servant. I was just a servant.
31:44 Where were you?
31:45 I was just a servant.
31:46 Did you drink?
31:47 No.
31:48 According to the operations head of Peace and Order of Barangay Matina Crossing, who witnessed the incident,
31:54 a man was hit by a stone from Puroc 2 to the youths of Puroc 3.
31:59 They were dancing on the opposite side of the highway.
32:02 They were dancing because it was New Year.
32:03 They were dancing on the opposite side of the highway.
32:05 They were dancing like they were sailors.
32:06 They were a group of youths.
32:10 They were fighting.
32:12 What kind of fighting?
32:14 I saw them fighting. I saw them fighting because they were not following the rules.
32:18 I was shocked when I saw them fighting.
32:22 Until the police arrived, the youths were exchanging words to defend themselves.
32:29 We don't have a vehicle.
32:33 Thank you for your style.
32:37 We don't have a vehicle. We don't have a vehicle.
32:41 [Indistinct chatter]
32:51 Until the police arrived, the youths were still exchanging words.
32:57 [Indistinct chatter]
33:04 The 20-year-old man who was the first victim of the minor assault is now in the custody of the Talomo Police.
33:10 He is still not released.
33:12 The first case we are going to investigate is a physical injury in relation to Republic Act 7610 which is child abuse.
33:19 For GMA Integrated News, I'm Jil Relator of GMA Regional TV 1 Mindanao,
33:25 "Katutok 24 Oras."
33:28 Many Filipinos and celebrities are now on vacation in Japan.
33:33 Many people dream of destination.
33:35 How can we make it worth it in 24 hours?
33:38 Let's join Maris Umbali in our investigation.
33:41 Japan, Japan. The answer to poverty.
33:48 That's the joke of our fellow Filipinos living abroad.
33:51 But what about Filipinos who just want to go on vacation and wander around?
33:56 Tokyo, Japan is the proof that it's the first place that Filipinos want to go based on Google's data this year.
34:06 24 hours is not enough to see the beauty of the Land of the Rising Sun.
34:12 But if you are like me, you are on a vacation,
34:20 It's raining here in Tokyo, Japan.
34:23 What can we do to make it worth it in a quick trip to Japan?
34:29 Let's find out.
34:33 Of course, the Japan experience is not a secret if we don't eat ramen.
34:38 So, let's go.
34:40 This is the most famous ramen house in Tokyo.
34:45 And if you see, they are really lining up.
34:49 Let's get angry first.
34:54 Let's eat.
35:00 Let's eat.
35:01 It has a right taste.
35:04 It's so delicious.
35:06 There, you have energy to walk.
35:11 They say if you want to feel the culture of Japan,
35:15 you should go to Shibuya Crossing right away.
35:17 It's your first day in the country.
35:19 We are here at Shibuya Crossing, the most famous pedestrian crossing in the world.
35:27 Did you know that up to 2,500 people cross this road every 2 minutes?
35:34 It's not obvious, right?
35:36 And even if you cross this road again and again, it's still crowded.
35:40 And even if there are a lot of people passing by,
35:43 the road traffic jam here is rare even in rush hour.
35:46 After crossing Shibuya Crossing,
35:50 you will find one of the most famous landmark or tourist spot here in Tokyo, Japan.
35:55 The Hachiko Monument.
35:57 For those who don't know, Hachiko is a real dog that lived here in Tokyo in the early 1900s.
36:05 He became famous because of his loyalty and devotion to his master, Ueno.
36:11 Another tourist spot here in Tokyo,
36:16 this famous character Godzilla,
36:20 has a height of almost 40 steps.
36:23 And if you're here, you'll feel like a real-life Godzilla in Shinjuku.
36:28 I'm scared! Where will I run to?
36:31 You can also visit the famous landmark, Tokyo Tower.
36:37 Not only is it beautiful in the morning,
36:39 but it's even more beautiful at night.
36:42 Did you know that this Tokyo Tower is not only for broadcasting,
36:46 but it's also used for transmitting traffic information
36:51 and collecting weather and air pollution data in the Tokyo Metropolitan Area?
36:57 Of course, it's also a great place for romantic dates.
37:01 Of course, walking around is not complete without shopping.
37:10 And if you're here in Japan, where else but...
37:13 Don Quijote!
37:20 With its beautiful scenery, delicious food,
37:24 kind and generous Japanese people,
37:26 and delicious shopping,
37:28 walking around Japan really relieves stress and makes you happy.
37:33 Until next time, Japan! Ja-fun!
37:36 From Tokyo, Japan, for GMA Integrated News, Maris Umali speaking, 24 hours.
37:47 Meanwhile, the real-life couple of Derek Monasterio and El Villanueva
37:53 is excited for their on-screen comeback.
37:55 They learned a lot from the upcoming revenge drama
37:58 that they shared in the GMA Integrated News interviews.
38:02 Let's talk to Nelson Canlas.
38:04 Love changes everything.
38:08 This is true for Derek Monasterio and El Villanueva
38:12 because since their real-life relationship started in 2023,
38:17 they've made a big change.
38:20 Not just in their professional life, but in their personal life.
38:25 Their closeness became a topic of conversation
38:28 in the set of Return to Paradise in the latter part of 2022.
38:32 But they only confessed their off-screen romance in August 2023.
38:38 We talked about it.
38:42 We said, "Let's not date anymore. Let's just play this game."
38:45 But we didn't put a label on it yet.
38:48 It was just like that.
38:49 But as time passed by, we put a label on it.
38:54 What's the importance of labels for you two?
38:57 For me, it's important in all relationships,
39:01 in any relationship you have with other people.
39:03 Because it defines your boundaries and your objective with someone.
39:08 And how far your relationship will go.
39:14 They became a couple because of each other.
39:18 It became better overall in all aspects of life.
39:21 My decisions became more mature.
39:24 Financial decisions, relationships with people,
39:30 commitment to my craft.
39:32 Everything became more blueprinted.
39:39 I knew what I was going to do when I met her.
39:42 So it's a good timing to bring their romance to life on screen.
39:48 Click, that's enough!
39:49 In the afternoon prime series, Tamakining, which will be aired on January 8.
39:55 Aside from being driven while being on set,
39:58 they were even more inspired to do the revenge drama
40:02 because they learned a lot while doing it.
40:06 I think it's a privilege to play this role
40:09 because it opened up me to feelings that I didn't know that was there.
40:15 And it made me understand people, why they do those actions.
40:20 When you're a victim, they want to see you as innocent.
40:26 But the reality is that the victim is not perfect.
40:30 They also have their mistakes.
40:32 So it opened up me to that perspective.
40:35 They also have a lot of fond memories on set.
40:39 Our location is near a river.
40:42 We all took a bath in the river.
40:44 We brought shampoo and soap.
40:45 We were like kids who never experienced anything in their lives.
40:48 It was enjoyable because we were also shooting in the mountains.
40:53 And our age group was also there.
40:56 So we didn't do anything but laugh during breaks.
41:00 This new year, instead of a New Year's resolution,
41:04 the two made a vision board
41:07 where they listed what they want to achieve in 2024.
41:11 From career goals, to savings.
41:15 It's a hobby.
41:17 Financial investments are just good.
41:21 I've had a lot of times before where I was scammed.
41:24 I was surprised by you.
41:26 You're investing now.
41:28 Yes.
41:29 There are a lot of bad people.
41:31 You're really crazy.
41:32 Especially now, I'm a very gullible person.
41:35 So now, I've learned a lot.
41:37 Biggest plan for 2024?
41:40 My biggest plan?
41:42 I just want to buy land.
41:44 That's my goal this year.
41:48 I want to invest in lots.
41:51 I've interviewed a lot of people who want to travel.
41:54 It's better to enjoy when you have a lot of money,
41:57 a lot of investments.
42:00 By the time we're 40 or 50,
42:02 for example, we're not in showbiz anymore,
42:04 we'll travel there.
42:06 We'll enjoy what we earn there.
42:08 Nelson Canlas, updated on showbiz happenings.
42:11 And that's my chica this Tuesday night.
42:16 My name is Ia Verlano.
42:18 I'm Patricia Tumulag.
