00:00Breaking news, the number of unemployed Filipinos has increased this October.

00:06According to the Philippine Business Authority,

00:081.97 million unemployed Filipinos, or 3.9% of the country's labor force.

00:16That's more than 1.89 million unemployed Filipinos in September.

00:22The number of underemployed Filipinos has also increased.

00:24This October, the number of unemployed Filipinos exceeded 6 million.

00:27They are the ones who have jobs but their income is lower than theirs.

00:34According to the National Economic and Development Authority,

00:37they will strive to increase the number of unemployed Filipinos.

00:49The government is hoping to reduce the price of oil products next week.

00:55According to the Department of Energy, based on the four-day trading,

00:58the price of gasoline will increase from 10 cents to 30 cents per liter.

01:03The price of gasoline will increase next week.

01:06The price of diesel will decrease from 40 cents to 70 cents per liter

01:12and the price of kerosene will increase from 40 cents to 60 cents per liter.

01:16One of the factors affecting the price of gasoline

01:19is the changing geopolitical climate in the Middle East.

01:22The price of diesel and kerosene has decreased

01:25due to the strength of the dollar and the rising demand.

01:30The American vlogger Elliot Eastman,

01:35who was shot dead in Cebuco Zamboanga del Norte on October 17,

01:39was believed to be dead.

01:41According to the Philippine National Police,

01:42this is based on the statement of one of the arrested suspects.

01:45Eastman was shot in the thigh and chest

01:47after fighting kidnappers while on a boat.

01:51According to the suspect, Eastman's boat was thrown into the sea.

01:54Authorities are still looking for Eastman's boat.

01:58The U.S. Embassy continues to contact local authorities.

02:03Three suspects who were arrested by the police

02:06are facing multiple complaints.

02:07Three other suspects were killed by the police and militants in the encounter.

02:14Let's update on the investigation of the PNP

02:16on the murder of the American vlogger, Elliot Eastman,

02:19who was believed to be dead.

02:21There are also other cases related to security.

02:24Let's talk to the Philippine National Police spokesperson,

02:27Police Brigadier General Jean Fajardo.

02:29Good morning and welcome to Balitang Hali.

02:32Good morning ma'am Connie.

02:35Did you talk to the wife and son of Elliot Eastman

02:40regarding the information that he was killed

02:43based on the statement of one of the arrested suspects?

02:47We already talked to the Philippine wife of Elliot Eastman.

02:56The police regional office also received this information

03:02from the liaison officers of the U.S. Embassy.

03:05However, we do not have direct communication with Eastman's family in the United States.

03:13Has the PNP established the motive of the murder of Elliot Eastman?

03:21Based on the statements of the arrested suspects,

03:27their motive at first was kidnapping.

03:32However, the abduction took place while Eastman was fighting.

03:41He was already on a boat.

03:45According to his abductors,

03:49he was found with a gunshot wound on his forehead and chin.

03:53While they were traveling,

03:55Eastman died while they were using their boat.

03:59That's why his abductors decided to throw him into the sea.

04:04During the investigation inside the house where he was thrown,

04:09there were also bloodstains.

04:11You can say that the statement of the arrested suspect is credible.

04:18During his abduction on October 17,

04:22his wife and his family were aware.

04:26When he ran outside to escape,

04:30he was shot and there were bloodstains that were found during the time of the abduction.

04:36His family knew where he lived and where he was shot when the incident happened on October 17.

04:48Just to clarify ma'am,

04:49there were three suspects in the police custody.

04:53Some of them died in the encounter, right?

04:57That's right ma'am.

04:58On October 27, one of us was arrested.

05:02After that, three of us surrendered.

05:06According to the other suspects that we got,

05:10during the hot pursuit operation,

05:13there were three of us who supposedly had something to do with the kidnapping.

05:18Three of us died in a police operation.

05:22We are still looking for four of us who are still at large.

05:26Okay.

05:27Does this mean that Elliot Eastman's disappearance is considered a case closed?

05:32You said that you are still looking for four more suspects, right?

05:37No.

05:38In our parameters, it is considered solved

05:41because we identified the perpetrators.

05:44Some of them are in our custody.

05:46But we still do not consider it a case closed

05:49because we have not yet seen the possible remains of Elliot Eastman.

05:55Of course, we are still looking for four of us who are still at large.

05:59Okay.

06:00Can you tell us where they said they threw Elliot Eastman's body?

06:06Are we conducting search operations in the area?

06:10We have been conducting search operations for a long time, ma'am.

06:14In the area where he was thrown?

06:15In the area where he was thrown because the ocean is wide.

06:20The PNP and other security forces are working together

06:24to find the possibility that Elliot Eastman's body was thrown.

06:31We will now go to the upcoming holiday rush, ma'am.

06:34How is the PNP preparing for this?

06:38The PNP is already prepared, ma'am,

06:41in setting up security for the upcoming holiday season

06:45and we have identified the places of convergence

06:48including park rockers and community firework displays

06:52and park rocker zone areas for the purposes of our deployment.

06:57More or less, initially, we will deploy more than 40,000 nationwide.

07:04As a preparation, when December 15 comes,

07:08all PNP leads will be canceled to make sure

07:12that we have a sufficient number of significant activities nationwide.

07:19How is the PNP monitoring the security of our two top leaders in the country?

07:27Well, we know, ma'am, that when it comes to the security of the President

07:32and the Vice President, the main responsibility unit there

07:36is the Presidential Security Command.

07:40The PNP will provide augmentation,

07:43particularly when it comes to area and route security.

07:46We will continue to monitor the PST

07:50when it comes to the security of our President and Vice President.

07:54Thank you very much for your update on us

07:56and advance Merry Christmas.

07:58Thank you, ma'am. Good morning.

08:00That was Police Brigadier General Gene Fajardo.

08:10Jillian Ward is nervous because of the new character

08:14that she will play for the upcoming series,

08:18Ilonggo Girl.

08:20After two and a half years,

08:22we finally achieved the dream that I always cry as Dr. Annalyn.

08:26Here, it's just more fun.

08:30But it's still challenging for me

08:33because one of my characters has an Ilonggo accent.

08:37In the upcoming series,

08:39Michael Seger and his love team will play

08:43in the upcoming series, Abot Kamay na Pangarap.

08:45The two of them already did a pictorial.

08:48I'm excited because it's my first time

08:50to have a love team in a show.

08:54Because in Abot Kamay,

08:56my characters are all unexpected.

08:59I'm excited because the chemistry

09:02that we share when we're on set is different.

09:05So, I'm looking forward to this partnership.

09:07And because it's a love team,

09:09the viewers can't help but to be hip.

09:13Michael is ready for this

09:15and he's very open

09:17to his admiration for Jill.

09:19Jillian is really different.

09:21She looks so beautiful in person.

09:23Maybe she's the one of the artists

09:25that made me starstruck when I first met her.

09:27And what's crazy about Jill is that she's so kind.

09:31Her personality plus her beauty is very welcoming.

09:35Because of that, Michael, I'll treat you later.

09:38Thank you so much.

09:40I could say the same to Michael.

09:42First of all, Michael is kind.

09:44He also looks good.

09:46So, I'm excited to work with him.

09:48Through Abot Kamay na Pangarap and Ilonggo Girl,

09:52Jillian was able to recharge.

09:55I went to Thailand with my friends

09:57and my family.

09:59I was able to rest and recharge.

10:02I feel like I'm carefree.

10:04For this upcoming Christmas,

10:06Jillian has something she wants to do.

10:09I'll try to cook

10:11and I'll learn how to cook

10:13because it's embarrassing for my family

10:15because my mother is from Ilonggo

10:17and my father is from Kapampangan.

10:19I'm the one who doesn't know how to cook.

10:21I want to learn how to cook

10:23Adobo Sisig.
