00:27They also evacuated some of their pets such as calabaw, cow, and goat.
00:33Checkpoints were also set up by the authorities to ensure that the residents who evacuated their homes will not return immediately.
00:40Activities within the 6-kilometer permanent danger zone of the volcano are also prohibited.
00:45According to PHIVOX, their monitoring of the Canlaon Volcano continues, which is still high on alert level 3.
00:51Residents are also being careful about the possibility of flooding from the volcano in the event of a rainfall.
01:00The Catholics celebrated the first day of the worship service in their church, the Manila Cathedral.
01:06And live from Manila, we have the first news.
01:08James Agustin.
01:10James.
01:14Ivang, good morning.
01:15A lot of people attended the first worship service here in the Manila Cathedral.
01:19The people I spoke to said that they will really complete the first day of the worship service as a thank you
01:26so that their wishes will also be fulfilled.
01:33In the sound of the silent bells, the arrival of those who will arrive early in the church at 4 a.m. in the Manila Cathedral.
01:41Relatives, relatives, friends, together.
01:45Like Junie and her three children who woke up early.
01:48They plan to complete the first day of the worship service at night.
01:51We just want it to be complete every year.
01:54For the family, yes.
01:58They are always safe and far from illness.
02:02Kyle came from Tondo with his friends.
02:04They also plan to do the same.
02:07Our wishes to each and every one of us.
02:11Long live.
02:12The worship service was led by Manila Archbishop Jose F. Cardinal Advincula.
02:18In his homily, he reminded us not to be selfish.
02:22There is hardship in our world because there are many who are healthy.
02:29There are many who are selfish.
02:31Let us receive the light of Jesus.
02:36Let us be the light in our world full of darkness.
02:42After the mass, those who worship will be given puto bongbong and bibingka.
02:46You can buy puto bongbong from Php 40 to Php 85,
02:50depending on whether it has cheese, milk, and leche flan.
02:53Bibingka is Php 70 each.
02:56It is a bit expensive and we are in a hurry to cook bibingka.
03:00We will earn here for my children as well.
03:03For their studies.
03:05The church was also filled with those who attended the first day of the worship service at night.
03:09The devotees of Jesus of Nazareno.
03:11They are thankful and wish that their prayers will be answered.
03:15We just want to live a good life.
03:23I just want my baby to be healthy.
03:31Meanwhile, here in Manila Cathedral,
03:33it is 4 o'clock in the middle of the morning,
03:35the schedule of Sembang Gabi in the middle of the evening.
03:38They have an anticipated Sembang Gabi every 8 o'clock in the evening.
03:43That is the first news from Manila.
03:45I am James Agustin for GEMA Integrated News.
03:51Just like here in Metro Manila, Sembang Gabi also started in their province.
03:55Catholics joined their church in Bulacan.
03:58In the anticipated mass in Baguio City, they visited Mananampalataya.
04:04At the time of the evening, bibingka and puto bongbong can be sold.
04:07It is near their church.
04:09More than 41,000 police were deployed to ensure the security of the churches.
04:15The Catholic Bishops' Conference of the Philippines or CBCP
04:19was not enough to spread the true word of God in their homily
04:23and not only their prayers.
04:30Mary Jane Veloso's family should not have visited her in Indonesia today.
04:35According to the Veloso family, they were informed by the Department of Foreign Affairs yesterday
04:39that they will not continue to Yogyakarta where Mary Jane is imprisoned.
04:44Although it is a shame, the Veloso family is still happy
04:47because Mary Jane is about to return to the Philippines.
04:50DFA Undersecretary Eduardo Devega confirmed to GMA News Online
04:54that the jail visit of the Veloso family has been canceled
04:57because Mary Jane is already traveling to Jakarta
05:00to start the process of moving her here to the Philippines.
05:04It is not yet confirmed when Veloso will return to the Philippines
05:08but his family is with him in the meetings for his return.
05:12In an interview with Agence France-Presse, Veloso was called by Himalayan
05:17that he is about to return to the Philippines
05:19and that God has heard his prayer.
05:22He needs to prepare himself to face his return here.
05:27To talk about the sudden return of Mary Jane Veloso to the Philippines,
05:31we will talk to her mother, Celia Veloso.
05:35Good morning to you, Celia.
05:37Good morning to you too.
05:39Mother, it's a shame that you did not continue to Indonesia.
05:42How is your family now?
05:44What is the last thing you talked about about Mary Jane and her return?
05:49Even though we did not continue to Indonesia,
05:53Even though we did not continue to Indonesia,
05:55we are happy for the whole family
05:57because we know that she will return soon.
06:01We talked to the whole family
06:03that we will prepare when Mary Jane returns,
06:07especially her dream of making Adobong Baboy.
06:11I will prepare that for her.
06:13Even the menu for Mary Jane's return is ready, right?
06:20Yes.
06:22What is the last thing you talked about?
06:24Is Mary Jane still in Jakarta while we are talking?
06:29Yes, she is still in Jakarta.
06:32We were in Simbang earlier.
06:36And what is the latest?
06:38Do you have any news?
06:40Because she is in Jakarta
06:43to start the process of her return to the Philippines.
06:47Yes, that's all we know.
06:49We went to Jakarta to prepare the necessary documents.
06:53And I know that my daughter will return.
06:56That's why we are just waiting here.
06:58I know that our President will give the clemency that we are waiting for.
07:03Yes.
07:04Even though we do not have a fixed date yet,
07:07do you have high hopes and feelings
07:10that your daughter will be here in the Philippines before Christmas?
07:13Yes, we have high hopes.
07:16The whole family has high hopes that we will be able to spend Christmas with Mary Jane.
07:24And you mentioned earlier about the clemency.
07:27Is the information that you are getting
07:31that when she arrives here in the Philippines,
07:33she will be given the clemency so that she does not need to be imprisoned?
07:37No, that's not it.
07:38But that is what we are asking for.
07:40We hope that when our President gives the clemency to Mary Jane,
07:44she will be pardoned so that she can continue to be free.
07:47That is what our family is hoping for.
07:50The last time the President was asked about this,
07:54he said that the government of Indonesia should not make any announcements.
08:02But do you have any indication that the President will give the clemency,
08:08like what you are asking for?
08:10It's possible because it's not my daughter's fault.
08:14That's why we are hoping that our President will give the clemency to Mary Jane.
08:19Nay, what Mary Jane said is that she is considering Himalaya as her home.
08:24What do you think about that?
08:26Do you also feel that this is a prayer, an answered prayer?
08:33Yes, it's true.
08:35Himalaya is a big Himalaya.
08:37For the past six years, there has been silence and no one has spoken to Mary Jane.
08:42I lost hope.
08:45That's why I was surprised.
08:48Mary Jane was right.
08:49Mother, don't worry.
08:52I know that we will be together, the whole family.
08:56I know that I will be able to go home.
08:57This is it.
08:58God has given Himalaya to Mary Jane so that she can go home.
09:03You must be very happy and excited.
09:07Aside from Adobo, what did Mary Jane request for her home?
09:12Pastillas. She asked for pastillas.
09:15Pastillas and Adobo?
09:17Yes, that's what Mary Jane asked for.
09:20Maybe all of her Adobo will be prepared by her mother.
09:24Nay Celia, thank you very much for inviting me.
09:29Thank you very much as well.
09:31We also talked to Celia Veloso, the mother of Mary Jane Veloso.
09:38In other news, the Congress is investigating whether PhilHealth should provide enough healthcare to Filipinos
09:45and if the agency's use of the funds is correct.
09:48First news, Mackie Polino.
09:53Under the Universal Healthcare Law, all Filipinos should be covered by Social Health Insurance.
09:59PhilHealth's role is to ensure that all of its members have equal access to health services,
10:05including medicines, laboratory tests, and others.
10:08There are a lot of things that need to be recorded.
10:11Just buy your own medicine.
10:13We, the seniors, cannot afford that much. We should be free.
10:17Not everyone is using it.
10:20All of those in the hospital, not all of the privileges, we will get.
10:24This is Senator JV Ejercito, the principal sponsor.
10:27Under this law, it is up to PhilHealth to fulfill its duty.
10:32That's why he will call for an oversight committee hearing to find out the shortcomings of the implementation.
10:38There are still a lot of people who are complaining to the politicians.
10:42PhilHealth is answering very little, which is not the UAC intended.
10:48We should lower the out-of-pocket expense.
10:51Under the Senate's version of the National Budget for 2025,
10:55PhilHealth was exempted from a government subsidy of Php 74 billion
10:59because it has a Php 600 billion reserve fund that the people have not yet benefited from.
11:04But PhilHealth explained that under the law, they need to have a reserve fund.
11:09If we have a reserve fund, we can use it because we are continuously increasing and expanding our benefits.
11:20PhilHealth is still positive that the President will review the zero subsidy.
11:24But he said that he will not give it.
11:26Whatever our funds for now, like the surplus and investment funds,
11:34we will get our funds for 2025.
11:41In the camera, I also asked Bicol Party List Representative Raul Bongalon to investigate
11:46where that reserve fund is going.
11:49And if it is being earned by PhilHealth officials.
11:52He said that in Php 500 billion, it has a 4% interest rate of Php 20 billion.
11:58We are still trying to get a statement from PhilHealth regarding the possible investigation by the Senate and the camera.
12:04This is the first news. Mackie Pulido for JMA Integrated News.
12:11Of the almost 2,000 received confidential funds from the Office of the Vice President,
12:17more than 1,300 do not have a birth record in the Philippine Statistics Authority.
12:23The PSA said that the House Committee on Good Government and Public Accountability
12:27has more than 600 possible matches in their records.
12:31According to the chairman of the committee, Representative Joel Chua,
12:34the OVP's acknowledgment receipts may be fake to clarify the spending of confidential funds.
12:42The House Committee on PSA is verifying the OVP's spending receipts on confidential funds
12:47because of questionable details in the confidential funds of the Department of Education
12:52under Vice President Sara Duterte.
12:55Included in the debt and confidential funds are the names of Mary Grace Piatos,
13:00who was the first to confirm that she doesn't have a PSA birth record.
13:04JMA Integrated News is trying to get a statement from the OVP regarding this.
13:08This Wednesday, VP Duterte denied that he has nothing to do with the preparation of receipts of confidential funds
13:14that are being questioned by the camera.
13:20The camera defended the P12 billion in the 2025 budget of the Department of Education.
13:27The party's representative, Roge Gutierrez, said that this is not neglecting education,
13:32but insuring the proper use of funds and accountability.
13:36Secretary Sani Angara needs to fix her issues in the DepEd.
13:40Based on the report of the Commission on Audit,
13:43more than P2 billion was disbursed to the DepEd budget of P11 billion in 2023
13:49for information and communications technology equipment.
13:53Before this, Angara admitted to a budget cut.
13:56A large portion of the budget was spent on funding 1,000,000 computers and gadgets to students in public schools.
14:04Angara also admitted that President Bongbong Marcos will remedy the issue of the budget cut.
14:11The Christmas season will begin in the provinces.
14:15Let's look at the situation in Paranaque Integrated Terminal Exchange or PITX.
14:20Here's the live news, EJ Gomez.
14:24EJ.
14:31Ivan, here in Paranaque Integrated Terminal Exchange or PITX,
14:35we have a few friends who are already here to travel to their provinces to celebrate the holiday season.
14:44They are already on their way to avoid the expected downpour of travelers,
14:49especially on Christmas Day.
14:56After six months, Jimuel's family will be reunited.
15:01He accompanied his mother, who came from Buryas Island in Masbate,
15:05to join him in the celebration of Christmas this year.
15:08I accompanied them from PITX to Cavite.
15:11They will celebrate Christmas and New Year here.
15:13We will just go to Tagaytay.
15:16His mother, Pilar, came from Puerto Princesa in Palawan and will go home to her family in Bicol.
15:22She's the only one traveling, so she took care of her to avoid the downpour of travelers.
15:27I took care of her. She left at 6.30 p.m.
15:30I didn't wait in line.
15:32When I arrived, I was lucky that no one was buying anything.
15:35His aunts, Lani and Alexandra, arrived in PITX last night.
15:40They will go home to Iriga City in Bicol.
15:43I accompanied him because it's his first time traveling here in Manila.
15:48We went to PITX last night, but we didn't get a ride.
15:55We just got a reservation.
15:59When we arrived here, there were a lot of people.
16:02The safety here is good.
16:07They also bought Christmas decorations in Divisoria.
16:11Here in PITX, there is a help desk that travelers can go to for any assistance they need.
16:17They can also check the luggage that is being brought to the terminal.
16:27Ivan, as of past 7 a.m., this is the situation here at the entrance of the terminal.
16:33There are people in line because it's rush hour.
16:37There is also a time when our passengers enter the terminal with their luggage or boxes.
16:43They are inspecting our security personnel here at PITX.
16:51That's the first news from Paranaque City.
16:54EJ Gomez for GMA Integrated News.
16:58Starting on December 30, Rizal Day, the 1998 historical film of GMA Pictures will be shown on Netflix Philippines.
17:13In my novels, I was forced to answer the questions of the Filipinos.
17:19Along with the commemoration of Rizal's death anniversary, the digitally restored and remastered version of the film will be released.
17:27Cesar Montano was the one who created Rizal in the film.
17:31One of the writers of this film is National Artist for Film and Broadcast Arts, Ricky Lee.
17:36He produced GMA Pictures and won various awards.
17:39The film restoration was done by Central Digital Lab at GMA Post Productions.
17:44That is a beautiful film. It's highly recommended for all of us to watch, including our children.
17:49Nevin Agarciniego from SB19 Pablo's Tropa was nominated as the grand winner of The Voice Kids last night.
17:57His coach, Pablo, gave Nevin an advice on how to win.
