NewsTranscript
00:00President Bongbong Marcos and former Vice President Lenny Robredo met in Sorsogon.
00:08In his message, the President emphasized the importance of unity in this time.
00:14Jonathan Andal has a report.
00:19Bongbong Marcos, Lenny Robredo, Cheese Escudero,
00:23fought for the vice president during the 2016 election where Robredo lost.
00:29And in the presidential elections in 2022, Marcos and Robredo fought again where Marcos won.
00:38Earlier, at the inauguration of the Sorsogon Sports Center, the three met again.
00:43President Marcos and former Vice President Lenny Robredo shook hands and smiled.
00:48The one who invited Robredo to the inauguration of the Sorsogon Sports Center was Senate President Cheese Escudero.
00:55For Escudero, the last meeting between Robredo and Marcos was symbolic.
01:01The three of us have a history.
01:03It's symbolic because in the sports arena, we are an odd trio.
01:10In the career of politics, we remember to be a sportsman,
01:14to accept freely who will win a medal or in this case, in the election.
01:22Former Senator Bam Aquino also met with the President,
01:25who became Robredo's campaign manager during the 2022 election.
01:28And the nephew of former Senator Ninoy Aquino, who became a supporter of the politics of the President's father.
01:34I think this is the first step towards healing any wound.
01:41Remember, any debate or difference of opinion is political, not personal.
01:48According to Escudero, Marcos and Robredo should be together in Entablado to watch a dance performance.
01:54But Robredo had to leave for his appointment in Naga, which is three hours away from Sorsogon.
02:01In fact, he just waited for President Marcos to arrive before he left for Naga.
02:06He doesn't have an airplane or chopper, he just has a car.
02:09In President Marcos' speech, he emphasized the importance of unity.
02:14Unity is my desire for a more peaceful and effective government.
02:20We may have differences in beliefs and opinions,
02:25but I know that we are united in our desire to improve the quality of life of every Filipino.
02:36Robredo refused our request to meet with the President.
02:40But according to his spokesman,
02:42I will just say that she was there for the event.
02:45And when the President arrives, of course, he will welcome her.
02:50VP Leni has been very, very clear.
02:52Any healing or reconciliation should be based on justice and principles.
03:00Jonathan Andal reporting for GMA Integrated News.
03:07The woman who was killed in Sak-Sak in Mauban, Quezon, is in debt.
03:11According to the police, the victim is Michelle Pajarillo.
03:15She was borrowed by her live-in partner who owns a house.
03:19But when she went to the house of the live-in partner to ask for money,
03:22she was robbed and stabbed in the chest.
03:26She ran away from the suspects, but she also surrendered to the police.
03:30She was charged with murder.
03:35The spending of the Office of the Vice President of 16 million Pesos Confidential Funds
03:42for the rental of 34 safe houses in just 11 days in 2022.
03:48According to the OVP Accomplishment Report,
03:50there are two safe houses that were paid P1 million.
03:54There are also safe houses that were paid P250,000 and P500,000 each.
04:01That funding is part of the P125 million Confidential Fund
04:06spent by the OVP within 11 days.
04:09OVP will only submit Acknowledgement Receipts to the Commission on Audit.
04:14Some of them do not have the name of the receiver of the payment.
04:18Some names are not readable and some are not signed.
04:22The Commission said that they have no other details about the safe houses.
04:26The OVP Accomplishment Report states that
04:29it is to monitor the safe implementation of the OVP Initiatives and Confidence Building.
04:35In 2023, the Confidential Funds spent by the OVP in safe houses amounted to P37 million.
04:43The OVP Committee has already subpoenaed six OVP Officials who did not participate in the hearing.
04:48In a statement, the OVP agreed that there is no need for a hearing
04:52because it did not comply with the Aid of Legislation.
04:55Because of that, the OVP Officials did not have to participate in the hearing.
05:00They also submitted their submission to the Committee.
05:04Application for the Jeepney Consolidation Program.
05:07It was reopened again because of the Senate's consultation.
05:10Until November 29, the Unconsolidated Jeepney Driver and Operator were allowed to submit their application.
05:18Pastor Apollo Quibuloy was asked to be house-arrested.
05:21He was not given a passing Regional Trial Court.
05:24According to Quibuloy's lawyer, the court said that
05:27if there is a health emergency, he should be given a passing Regional Trial Court.
05:31The court said that if there is a health emergency,
05:34there is a General Hospital inside Camp Krame where Quibuloy can be house-arrested.
05:39Quibuloy's camp appealed the decision.
05:44PNP-CIDG filed a complaint of sedition and inciting to sedition
05:49against Quibuloy's lawyer, Atty. Israelito Torreon,
05:53Kingdom of Jesus Christ Executive Secretary Eleanor Cardona,
05:57former NDFL-CAC Spokesperson Lorraine Badoy and others.
06:01This was a result of their preemptive action in serving Quibuloy's warrant.
06:05This was called a side-tracking issue by Torreon and it is not up to him.
06:11The GMA Integrated News is also trying to get hold of other complaints.
06:17Chino Gaston reported for GMA Integrated News.
06:20Senator Rizzo Ontiveros urged the Committee of the Whole
06:24or all senators to investigate the war on drugs of the Duterte Administration.
06:29This is in accordance with Senator Bato de la Rosa's plan to conduct its own investigation on this matter.
06:35According to Ontiveros, war on drugs victims will be more alert and more likely to investigate if this is what will be done.
06:42For Senator Aimee Marcos, it would be better if the matter is directed to the court.
06:48Senate President Chiz Escudero said it is not a good idea for the head of the investigation of de la Rosa,
06:54who is the PNP chief, to be the first to conduct the war on drugs.
06:58Escudero, de la Rosa and Senator Bongo will also discuss this on the weekend.
07:05It is possible that the eyesight will be included in the PhilHealth coverage before the end of the year.
07:11Reported by Vonna Kino.
07:14The 31-year-old call center agent, Colleen Garcia, is nearsighted and has astigmatism.
07:20She spent Php 4,000 for prescription glasses.
07:24A large part of her budget, which is expected, is spent on her five children.
07:29Jason Umali's work can also be felt by the eyesight.
07:33There is also no budget, so the reading glasses are not prescribed by the doctor.
07:38We are studying right now on the inclusion of prescription glasses
07:44in response to requests and clamor of our members and lawmakers.
07:50Hopefully, before the year ends, we will release this to the police.
07:56I'm single, ma'am. I don't have a husband.
07:59I'm single, ma'am. I don't have a husband.
08:02Hopefully, before the year ends, we will release this to the police.
08:06I'm single, ma'am. I don't have a husband.
08:09I'm single, ma'am. I don't have a husband.
08:11If they have such a program, it's better.
08:14It can also help, especially if it's free.
08:17Based on the study of the World Health Organization,
08:2050% of the world's population will be nearsighted by the end of 2050.
08:25Based on the 2018 Philippine Eye Disease Study,
08:281.98% of our population has visual impairment and more than 2 million are partially blind.
08:34The Integrated Philippine Association of Optometrists will help PhilHealth
08:39in making guidelines in the package.
08:41We can save more, especially PhilHealth,
08:45if diseases can be prevented by providing services that would prevent blindness.
08:53In Phase 1 of the package, children will be the first, especially students.
08:57The EOR for children, whether they are nearsighted or farsighted,
09:01it affects their academic performance.
09:04Before the end of the year, the target is to include dental services in the PhilHealth packages.
09:09Primary care when it comes to dental hygiene,
09:14purification, cleaning,
09:16that's what we're looking to include in the dental package for outpatients.
09:21Von Aquino reporting for GMA Integrated News.
09:27How many nights have you wished the world would stay?
09:31Fans are shocked by the death of One Direction member Liam Payne at age 31.
09:38Based on the investigation, Liam fell from the balcony of his third-floor hotel room in Buenos Aires, Argentina.
09:47Before this, the hotel reported that the man was aggressive
09:51and could be under the influence of drugs or alcohol.
09:54It is also known that the accident happened a few days before the week.
09:59Liam watched the concert of his groupmate Niall Horan in Argentina with his girlfriend.
10:05Good luck Mr. Horan, I'm very proud of you.
10:07A few hours before the news of his funeral came out, Liam uploaded this video on Snapchat.
10:14He took it from Argentina, but the British singer did not mention when he took it.
10:20Morning everybody.
10:21Liam has always been open to struggles in mental health and alcohol to cope with the pressures of fame.
10:28Fame can mean a few things and I often think that people hold a certain light to it.
10:33He's the world celebrity.
10:36After 18 months, J-Hope was released from the military by BTS.
