00:00 [Gunshots]

00:02 [Whistle]

00:04 Together we will be the winner!

00:08 The NGCP is now in the hands of President Bongbong Marcos and the Energy Department

00:18 after the widespread brownout in Panay Island.

00:21 The NGCP is now in the hands of the French government who wants to pass a law.

00:26 Bonadot Reyes is a witness.

00:30 Earlier this afternoon, the supply of electricity in Panay Island began to stabilize.

00:36 Residents are very thankful for this.

00:39 But some did not buy ice because they were not prepared for another brownout.

00:45 For the chickens, we will not sell them.

00:50 We will leave them.

00:52 I don't know if we can keep them.

00:55 It happened 8 months ago.

00:57 It's going to happen next month.

00:59 I'm going to make you an antosh.

01:01 The four days of the widespread power outage

01:04 would have been avoided if the National Grid Corporation of the Philippines did its job

01:09 according to the Department of Energy.

01:11 According to the DOE, within two hours after the unscheduled shutdown of several plants,

01:17 the NGCP should immediately order manual load dropping or rotational brownouts

01:23 so that the entire electricity grid will not be affected.

01:26 But...

01:27 The time that the generator and the unscheduled grid downpassed on January 2,

01:33 NGCP did not do anything as the systems operator responsible

01:39 for maintaining the stability and the reliable integrity of the transmission grid for the next two hours.

01:47 The NGCP responded.

01:49 We do load dropping to control the voltage.

01:53 At the time, there was no problem with the voltage. It was stable.

01:57 So there was no reason for us to do load drop.

02:00 I feel that if we did load drop at that time,

02:03 we might be questioned as to why we lost load or the consumer in the system

02:09 without any trigger or reason.

02:12 President Bongbong Marcos also mentioned the NGCP's unfinished project

02:17 as another way to avoid what happened.

02:20 The NGCP assured us that the Visayas grid had sufficient capacity,

02:24 assuming timely completion of the Mindanao-Visayas and Panay-Negro-Cebu interconnections.

02:31 However, we find ourselves in January 2024,

02:36 far from the promised completion date of August 2023,

02:40 and we are still hoping for the Mindanao-Visayas interconnection by late January of 2024.

02:49 The President-elect of the Energy Regulatory Commission ordered the NGCP to immediately reset the rates,

02:55 to ensure that the NGCP complies with its obligations,

02:59 and to defend against any measure that would undermine the implementation of regulatory measures.

03:05 Accountability lies with the NGCP.

03:08 They are tasked with grid stability.

03:11 We are still trying to get the NGCP's opinion on the President's statement.

03:16 The Senate and the House of Representatives are busy with the investigation.

03:20 Senate Energy Committee Chairperson, Sen. Rafi Tulfo,

03:24 wants the NGCP's franchise to be reviewed.

03:27 He is ready to face the investigation of the NGCP.

03:30 What we are asking for is to be objective in the investment

03:34 and to give attention to all sectors.

03:38 If we are going to review that, the review should be total and all-encompassing,

03:44 not just one sector.

03:47 The DOE is supportive of the calls for a legislative investigation.

03:52 In fact, they will recommend some things to the Congress,

03:55 including the transfer of the system operation function of the NGCP.

04:00 The DOE also wants to study the distribution of fines

04:04 and the special tax privilege of the NGCP.

04:07 For GMA Integrated News, Bernadette Reyes, your witness.

04:27 Let's continue our witnessing.

04:30 Now, the Nazareno's team is preparing to return to Martez.

04:34 Jamie Santos is in the Chapel Church

04:37 while Niko Wahe is in the Crillo Grandstand.

04:41 The Nazareno's devotees are praying for themselves in the Chapel Church

04:46 on the first Friday of 2024.

04:49 While preparing for the transfer, a man was arrested for a bomb joke.

04:54 Witness, Jamie Santos.

04:57 Jamie.

04:59 Indeed, the devotees of the beloved Black Nazareno cannot miss

05:07 the Mass for the first Friday of 2024.

05:11 Despite their thanks and prayers, the devotees went down to the Chapel Church.

05:19 In the hours of the Mass in the Chapel Church, the Church is always full

05:24 because of the crowd, the traffic slows down in the southbound of Quezon Boulevard.

05:29 The people are also nervous because of the two lanes of the road.

05:33 The devotees will be reminded later on

05:36 on the right line and the right place in the Church and in Plaza Miranda.

05:40 For the arrangement of the people's line,

05:46 the entrance of the worshippers is on the left side

05:49 and the exit is on the right side of Quezon Boulevard and Carriedo.

05:52 Two men were arrested after jumping on the railing of Quezon Boulevard

05:56 to enter Plaza Miranda.

05:58 They were taken out by the police.

06:01 Earlier, a man who was playing a bomb joke helped in Station 3.

06:09 According to him, he will not repeat it.

06:12 I told the father and mother of the child,

06:16 "If someone is throwing a grenade here,

06:19 that's all I'm saying, I hope I will be forgiven."

06:22 Whether from a faraway place or work,

06:25 everyone went to the Church to worship.

06:28 The devout Sister Ophelia is now a member of the Church.

06:31 She can no longer go to the station because of the bad feelings.

06:36 I feel a lot in my body.

06:39 It's like she became my medicine.

06:43 Whatever the devout husband wants in Nazareno,

06:47 there is no exception and they are always heard.

06:50 Joyce feels blessed because she was born on the same day of the translation.

06:55 I do not lose hope.

06:57 I am depressed but we are anxious again,

06:59 especially those who have a disease in my family.

07:02 We are okay.

07:03 We also receive a lot of blessings.

07:05 We became devout of Nazareno,

07:09 so we continue to do it, whether there is or not.

07:12 It becomes our way of life.

07:16 The last mass for this day is at 8 p.m.

07:19 But there are still a few devout who remain in front of the Church to join the prayer.

07:29 Thousands of devout who turned to the Church today

07:34 are expecting to receive their last rites on January 9,

07:38 on the day of the translation.

07:40 That's why, the police are now watching the Church

07:44 for the security and correction.

07:47 Live from the Church, for JMAI Integrated News,

07:51 Jaime Santos is your witness.

07:55 24 hours on duty of some of the guards at the Quirino Grandstand

07:59 this evening of the mass in the whole of Nazareno.

08:02 Live from the Church, Niko Wahe.

08:04 Niko.

08:06 The preparation of the Church and other agencies here at the Quirino Grandstand is ongoing.

08:16 Four days before the translation,

08:21 this part of TM Kalaw is closed.

08:23 The Quirino Grandstand is about to enter.

08:25 Plastic orange barriers are placed

08:27 for the devout to pass through

08:29 to be able to wear or kiss the priest

08:31 who will start tomorrow night.

08:33 As usual, the entrance is in the TM Kalaw area.

08:36 The exit is in Katigbak Parkway.

08:39 The MMDA personnel started watching here yesterday.

08:43 The program will not enter the center of the Grandstand.

08:48 Some were already sampled earlier.

08:51 They said their shift is 12 hours,

08:53 but those we talked to said it's a straight duty.

08:56 They've been watching the Grandstand for 24 hours.

08:58 Sometimes, we don't have enough people.

09:01 We have someone to rest here.

09:03 Later, when it's our turn,

09:05 we'll rest here.

09:08 They are preparing themselves,

09:11 especially the first translation after three years.

09:14 Aside from the excess of people,

09:16 they are also preparing an excess of garbage.

09:19 We will clean it.

09:21 We will clean the trash.

09:24 We will also clean the trash that's being dumped.

09:27 We expect that the trash here

09:29 is not plastic.

09:32 It's a truckload of trash.

09:34 Last year, we estimated that

09:37 we have three trucks here.

09:40 The preparation for the stage is now complete.

09:42 The sound system is being fixed.

09:44 The youth of Quiapo Church

09:46 will be here for their worship service on January 8.

09:49 Our program will start on January 8,

09:53 at 4 o'clock.

09:55 It will start with the welcoming of the band.

09:58 Then, evening prayer.

10:00 After the evening prayer,

10:02 we have six places

10:04 where the youth of Quiapo Church will be praying.

10:12 Tomorrow, there will be a mass here

10:15 at 6 o'clock in the evening.

10:17 After that,

10:19 there will be a kiss in the whole of Nazareno.

10:21 Live from the Carino Grandstand,

10:24 for JMA Integrated News,

10:26 I'm Nico Juaje.

10:27 Your witnesses.

10:28 Not the Philippines, but China

10:31 is doing dangerous things

10:33 in the West Philippine Sea.

10:35 The AFP is against China's call

10:37 to stop the joint patrols

10:39 of the Philippines and America.

10:41 Witnesses of the June Generation.

10:43 Even though the Philippines ships

10:48 did not approach,

10:49 the Chinese warships 570 and 174

10:51 were still watching

10:53 and quietly observing

10:55 on the first day of the joint patrols

10:57 of the Philippines and America

10:59 in the West Philippine Sea.

11:00 China warship 174,

11:02 this is Philippine Navy warship 16.

11:05 You are not responding.

11:06 Your refusal to respond

11:08 will be reported to concerned authorities.

11:10 Over.

11:11 On the second day yesterday,

11:15 two AFP multi-purpose helicopters

11:17 took off.

11:18 The US Navy's Carrier Strike Group 1

11:21 also showed its strength.

11:23 And the US aircraft USS Carl Vinson

11:25 was also spotted on this day.

11:28 The Chinese warships were no longer in sight.

11:31 After the patrol exercise

11:32 in the West Philippine Sea,

11:34 the Carrier Strike Group 1

11:35 went straight to the port.

11:37 The AFP responded to the call

11:39 of China to stop the joint patrols

11:41 that China says are "tempting"

11:44 and "add to the tension"

11:46 in the South China Sea.

11:47 There was no provocative action there

11:49 because everything we do

11:52 are in accordance with international law.

11:55 They are the ones conducting provocative action

11:59 because number one,

12:01 that is not their territory.

12:03 The National Security Council said

12:05 that the Philippines is just using

12:06 the sovereign right to conduct

12:08 such activities within its territory.

12:11 A security and defense expert said

12:14 that China is the root of the problem

12:16 because it wants to occupy

12:18 90% of the South China Sea

12:20 along with the exclusive economic zone

12:22 of the Philippines.

12:23 If we are going to attack,

12:25 it means we are afraid of China.

12:26 Yes.

12:27 If we show that we are afraid of China,

12:29 China will achieve its goal.

12:31 China's goal is to win

12:33 without actually fighting.

12:34 Until that, we will fight.

12:35 For GMA Integrated News,

12:37 June Veneration of your witness.

12:39 With a grateful heart,

12:45 the 2024 Prime Time King Ding Dong Dantes

12:47 started his career.

12:49 Ding Dong is thankful for his two successful

12:52 MMMFF entries, Firefly,

12:55 and also for the rewind where he met again

12:58 his wife, Marian Rivera.

13:01 I am also very happy because

13:03 I chose Firefly

13:05 where I also won Best Picture.

13:08 I'd like to also take this opportunity

13:10 to thank everyone who supported us in Rewind.

13:14 But for the actor,

13:15 the real winner here is the industry

13:18 of Filipino movies.

13:20 Family Feud should be waiting

13:22 for fresh episodes starting January 8,

13:25 featuring Barbie Corteza and David DeCalco,

13:28 and Amazing Earth,

13:30 which had a special episode earlier

13:32 and on January 12.

13:34 It will be shown earlier at 8.50pm.

13:38 All glammed up is the cast of the afternoon prime series

13:42 Makiling in their mediacon today.

13:45 Pressured but excited,

13:47 they will now release the series on Monday.

13:50 In the trailer,

13:51 Amira's hard work is over,

13:53 played by El Villanueva,

13:54 because of the company of Crazy Pie.

13:57 And his real companion, Alex,

14:00 played by Derek Monasterio.

14:02 Derek's story,

14:04 he was sometimes pissed off at his co-stars

14:06 because of their good-natured attitude towards El.

14:09 They were able to play their roles well.

14:12 And I felt sorry for El,

14:14 not for Amira.

14:15 It's like it's real here.

14:17 That's how it is here.

14:18 It's really real.

14:19 For GMA Integrated News,

14:21 Nelson Canlas is your witness.

14:24 Let it snow and let it glow.

14:30 A fair in China is a big deal.

14:32 Aside from the design,

14:34 the ice is growing.

14:38 They even added colorful lights.

14:41 That's what's called the Harbin Ice City.

14:44 The fair is now 810,000 square meters wide.

14:49 And 250,000 cubic meters of ice is used.

14:57 The price of tuna sold in Japan reached millions of pesos.

15:02 At the New Year Tuna Auction

15:05 in the biggest fish market in Tokyo,

15:07 a bluefin tuna was sold for 114.24 million yen.

15:14 That's equivalent to more than 43 million pesos.

15:18 A sushi restaurant was able to buy tuna

15:21 weighing more than 200 kilos.

15:26 Thank you for your witnessing the glory of P.R. Canghel.

15:29 I am Arnold Gladio.

15:31 For a bigger mission

15:33 and for a wider service to the country,

15:35 from GMA Integrated News,

15:37 the Philippine News Authority,

15:39 until Monday,

15:41 let's be together.

15:43 Witness!
