Transcript

00:00Live from the GMA Network Center, 20 years have passed, 24 hours.

00:12Good evening, Luzon, Visayas and Mindanao.

00:16Three impeachment complaints have been filed against Vice President Sara Duterte.

00:21Aside from the misuse of confidential funds,

00:24we will now hear the latest complaints from the deputy officials.

00:29Tina Panganiban Perez is on the scene.

00:34Ladies and gentlemen, lawyers and members of the NGO,

00:38the three impeachment complaints that were filed against Vice President Sara Duterte.

00:46They said, along with the reasons why Visayas should be removed from office,

00:52is because of their culpable violation of the Constitution and betrayal of public trust.

00:57Like the first two impeachment complaints,

01:00this is due to the misuse of confidential funds by Visayas.

01:21This is based on the results of the committee hearings done by Congress.

01:28This is based on the fact that the disbursements of the confidential funds,

01:33the disbursements were not properly done.

01:36The use of fictitious individuals.

01:40It was also mentioned in the three complaints filed by Vice President Sara Duterte

01:44to some of the deputy officials that were filed in the hearings in the House of Representatives.

01:48This is based on the allegation that they received a lot of money from Vice President Sara Duterte.

01:55The complainants asked,

01:57if Vice President Sara Duterte will not impeach the camera,

02:00what will stop other government officials from using public money?

02:07What makes this complaint different from the two already filed impeachment complaints is that

02:13these priests, these lawyers believe that with what transpired and with what the public saw

02:22during the committee hearings,

02:26it's no longer just the legal and constitutional obligation

02:32of the members of the House of Representatives to impeach

02:36and for the Senate to remove from office the sitting Vice President of the Republic of the Philippines.

02:42It has now become their moral obligation to do so.

02:48The seven of us, including our lawyers,

02:52we believe VP Sara committed something illegal and something immoral against the Filipino people.

03:01For us, thou shall not kill, thou shall not steal, thou shall not bear false witness.

03:08The third impeachment complaint was endorsed by Representative Gabriel Bordado of the Camarinesur 3rd District

03:15and by AAMIS-OA Party List Representative Lex Anthony Cris Colada.

03:20The GMA Integrated News is trying to get hold of Vice President Duterte,

03:26but he has repeatedly denied that there was nothing wrong with the use of OVP confidential funds.

03:34He has also denied the allegation of corruption.

03:37He also called a disgruntled employee of DepEd one of those who accused him.

03:44According to House Secretary General Reginald Velasco,

03:48he has not yet transmitted the first two impeachment complaints to the Office of the Speaker.

03:53And like the first two impeachment complaints,

03:56the third complaint will be reviewed by the legal department of the Camara.

04:01For the GMA Integrated News, Tina Panganiban-Perez, Nakatutok, 24 Hours.

04:08President Bongbong Marcos ordered the recommendation of the House Quad Committee

04:15to file a complaint of crimes against humanity against former President Rodrigo Duterte and other personalities.

04:23Duterte has not yet given his statement,

04:25but Senator Bong Go is wondering why Senator Bato de la Rosa is seen as a demolition job.

04:36Nakatutok, Salima Refran.

04:41President Bongbong Marcos ordered the recommendation of the House Quad Committee

04:49to file a complaint of crimes against humanity against former President Rodrigo Duterte,

04:53Senator Bong Go, Senator Ronald Bato de la Rosa,

04:56several former PNP chiefs and other personalities associated with the drug war.

05:01The DOJ will look at it and see if it is time to file cases,

05:08what cases to file, how to produce the evidence that we will need to actually build a case.

05:16We need to assess what can be the case,

05:21if the direction of the recommendation of the committees from the House is correct.

05:31Although the official report of the camera has not yet been accepted,

05:34the DOJ will consolidate it in the ongoing investigation of the Task Force EJK of the government.

05:41The DOJ will also invite those facing the Quad Committee

05:44to formalize their affidavit of their statements to the camera,

05:48including Duterte.

05:51We will look into that possibility,

05:53but as of now there are already admissions on record made by the former president

05:59and that is evidence that is admissible because these are all under oath and in a public proceeding.

06:07The DOJ clarified that even the former president can face complaints.

06:12Past presidents are no longer immune from suits.

06:15Only the sitting president is immune from any legal suit during his term.

06:20The former President Duterte is also receiving GMA Integrated News.

06:24But Senator Go, who became Special Assistant to the President,

06:28was only allowed to file a complaint against him in court.

06:31Go was surprised that everything mentioned in the hearings,

06:35even hearsay and no evidence, was included by the Quad Committee in the complaint.

06:40Dela Rosa, who became the first PNP chief of Duterte,

06:44said that she already expected this and will only face the complaint when it is filed to the DOJ.

06:50It seems that everything is being done to demolish Duterte and their allies,

06:55especially Senator Go for the election of 2025.

06:59The DOJ is still studying the effects of the case build-up in the ongoing investigation of the ICC.

07:05GMA Integrated News is also working hard to get the statement of the other recommended cases of the House Quad Committee.

07:12For GMA Integrated News, Salima Rafra, Nakatutok, 24 Hours.

07:18The part of Sampaloc, Manila was flooded with tension because of the riots of some youths.

07:25Stones and Molotov cocktails were thrown by some youths,

07:28who even came to the church last night.

07:31We caught up with the riots in the execution of Jomera Presto.

07:38Imagine that these youths are just playing in the part of Lakson Avenue in Sampaloc, Manila.

07:44But suddenly, one of them threw a Molotov.

07:48Until others came.

07:50According to the barangay, about 20 youths were involved in the riots.

07:55All of them are just strangers in the area.

07:58The riot gang war is our assessment on them.

08:02They are children, minors, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12.

08:05The others came from the church last night.

08:07No one was injured in the incident, but some cars were hit by stones.

08:12The barangay asked the parents of some youths to come to the barangay.

08:17But the parents said that their children were already in jail,

08:22and they will not pay for the damage done to the car of our barangay.

08:29The senior citizen, Mr. Albert,

08:31is the one who often cleans the debris that is left whenever there is a riot.

08:36How often does a riot happen?

08:38It happens every day.

08:40It happens every day.

08:42Sometimes, it happens at 3 p.m.

08:47Sometimes, it happens at 4 p.m.

08:52According to the barangay,

08:53there are police and people of Manila who are watching the area,

08:56but the youths get angry when the people who are watching the area are gone.

09:00According to the Manila Police District,

09:02they immediately responded to the news of the incident.

09:06According to the Manila Police District,

09:09our two stations are being watched by the police.

09:14Some of the youths who were involved in the riot

09:18were also turned over to the Manila Department of Social Welfare,

09:20while others were returned to their parents.

09:23Although minors cannot file a complaint,

09:26the MPD gave the possibility of filing a complaint to their parents.

09:31Let's not wait for something bad to happen to your children.

09:35Or better yet,

09:37if it happens to you, we will file a complaint against you.

09:42For the GMA Integrated News,

09:45Jomer Apresto, 24 Hours.

09:49Because of the aforementioned provisions and some projects,

09:54the President will review the 2025 National Budget

09:59instead of continuing the plan to increase it tomorrow.

10:03However, he promised to approve the budget before the new year.

10:08Ian Cruz was tuned in.

10:14In the review conducted by the President and some members of the Cabinet on the 2025 National Budget,

10:21the President noticed the aforementioned provisions

10:24on the more than Php 6 trillion budget for the next year.

10:28The insertion was not included in the budget request.

10:34So what are those?

10:37If it's really needed, maybe others don't need it and can defer.

10:43I cannot give you the details yet because we are now,

10:48that is what we are doing.

10:49We are going through item by item, line by line,

10:52to see what is priority and what is not.

10:56They also said that there is a gap in some projects included in the proposed budget.

11:01We are starting to see some project proposals that do not have the appropriate,

11:08no program of work, no appropriate documentation,

11:12it is not clear where the money will go.

11:15That is what we will clarify.

11:18The President is not yet signing the version of the budget that was approved by the Bicameral Conference Committee.

11:24After it was approved by the fearsome BATICOS.

11:28The controversial return of the Zero Subsidy to the Philippine Health Insurance Corporation, or PhilHealth,

11:39as well as the increase of the budget of the Department of Public Works and Highways, or DPWH,

11:44to Php 1.1 trillion,

11:46even though it is stated in the Constitution that education should be the highest priority in the budget.

11:52That is why the President borrowed the budget of the Bicameral Conference Committee to fix it.

11:57But he said that this cannot be done anymore.

12:00That is not in the procedure.

12:01There is no procedure to return it to the Bicameral Conference Committee.

12:05It's finished in Congress.

12:06It's up to us now to look at the items and to see what are appropriate, what are relevant and what are the priorities.

12:19According to the President, he will not avoid vetoing some provisions of the 2025 National Budget

12:26so that the priority of the government will be the budget for the next year.

12:32Many things have changed from the budget request from the different departments.

12:39We have to put it back in the same shape that we had first requested.

12:45So unfortunately, we are only left now, I am only left now with the veto power.

12:53Now it's up to us on how we regain control of the spending program.

13:00The President's signature on the General Appropriations Act of 2025 would have been approved by tomorrow.

13:07But it still needs time for their review.

13:10Even now, the President insisted that the budget will be approved before the new year.

13:16When it comes to the issue of the lack of subsidy for PhilHealth in the National Budget,

13:20the President insisted that the public should not be worried.

13:24This is my guarantee.

13:26My guarantee is very simple.

13:28Even if there is a subsidy, even if there is no subsidy, even if there is a contribution, all of these issues,

13:34PhilHealth's services will not be reduced.

13:39President Bongbong Marcos was at the Villamor Air Base earlier

13:43for the Change of Command and Retirement Ceremony of the Philippine Air Force

13:48where Lt. Gen. Arthur Cordura replaced Lt. Gen. Stephen Pareño as the Commander-in-Chief of the Air Force.

13:58The President is also preparing for the celebration of Christmas

14:02with plans to go to Baguio and Ilocos.

14:05For GMA Integrated News, Ian Cruz reporting for 24 Hours.

14:11The price of the first few items that will be bought this upcoming Christmas Eve is high.

14:15On the other hand, the rice of the families that was sold at a very high price.

14:20Baki Polito is reporting.

14:25It seems that the issue now is the entry of the families.

14:28What else is cheap?

14:30Let's start with the rice.

14:31When the DTI and DA jointly inspected the families in Guadalupe, Makati,

14:36they found that the price of the rice is too high.

14:38That's why it looks like a case of profiteering.

14:40They found that the price of 62 pesos per kilo of rice should be 47 to 49 pesos.

14:46It only landed at 42 pesos.

14:48So you can say that it should be plus 5 to 7.

14:53So it should be 47 to 49 pesos, not 62.

14:57I have to look at the legal ways that we can act on them.

15:02Aside from the rice, the price was increased by 10 pesos per kilo of pork.

15:06It's because of the African Swine Fever, said the DA.

15:09The price was increased by 50 pesos per kilo of fish caught in the sea.

15:13It's because it's the closed fishing season, said the DA.

15:16The price of chicken was increased by 20 pesos because it's Christmas, said the DA.

15:20That's also the reason for the increase of some vegetables, like tomatoes,

15:24which is already at 200 pesos per kilo.

15:26Masaklap, said a fish vendor, might be even more expensive.

15:3020 or 10 pesos, that's probably it.

15:33It was increased.

15:34It was increased.

15:35It's almost Noche Buena.

15:36At this price, what does Mommy Millie do?

15:39Just one by one, one string.

15:41Almost half of the Noche Buena items also increased in price, but not more than 5%.

15:47There's no price increase until the end of the year.

15:49That's what we talked about with the manufacturers.

15:52At the price of food, said Lilet, the old Noche Buena is even simpler.

15:57You can really reduce the preparation.

16:00If you used to prepare a lot, it's just a little.

16:04But you can reduce the amount of 1 kilo, 1 kilo of spaghetti.

16:10At least, there's still some preparation.

16:13For GMA Integrated News, Mackie Pulido in Tutok, 24 Hours.

16:18There are more passengers at bus terminals, so tickets are running out for some trips.

16:25In PITX today, it's possible to reach up to 70,000 passengers.

16:33Let's watch the latest situation in Oscar Hueda's live coverage.

16:39Oscar?

16:41Yes, Mel.

16:43Our countrymen started their trip to celebrate Christmas in their provinces.

16:54At the bus terminal, Serlina's wish came true to go back to her province, Iligan.

17:02It's only 7 in the morning, and she's already here at PITX.

17:08This is even though her trip is still in the afternoon.

17:12Of course, I want to go home. I haven't gone home for 7 years.

17:15I want to go home. If I can go home, I want to go home.

17:24I wish I could get 21, but it's already over.

17:28She's just one of the thousands of our countrymen who will go home to their province this Christmas.

17:33According to PITX, it's possible to reach up to 90,000 passengers today.

17:40But starting tomorrow, December 20, it's possible to reach up to 150,000 per day.

17:47Due to the large number of passengers, the number of air-conditioned buses in PITX is running out.

17:54Especially for long-distance trips.

17:57Particularly for trips from December 20 to December 31.

18:02But there are ordinary buses available that will travel later.

18:08In the bus terminal at EDSA Cubao, the trips to Bicol are almost fully booked.

18:15The trip to the north will also run out of tickets.

18:19It's lucky if you can get a chance passenger.

18:23One of the lucky ones to get a chance passenger is 65-year-old Tata Florencio.

18:30She's on her way home from Daid Camarines Norte to be with her family this Christmas.

18:37But her massage is already over.

18:41When I went to my brother in Mindoro, I couldn't ask for help. I got a stroke.

18:48But Tata is still lucky.

18:51She thought that someone is on Christmas Eve and she already answered her massage.

18:57I just saw her on the bus. I just said, I will help you get home and I will give you a massage.

19:04Buses are expected to arrive at their destinations tomorrow to Sunday this Christmas.

19:17Meanwhile, the Land Transportation Office, or LTO, is warning the motorists who will travel from Manila to Bicol

19:25that there is a high risk of traffic on the Andaya Highway to Lupi Camarines Sur.

19:32It is said that only one lane is passable in the area.

19:35Because some parts of the road were destroyed due to soil erosion due to the heavy rain.

19:45Mel?

19:46Thank you very much, Oscar Oida.

19:49Merry Christmas to all train passengers.

19:53Tickets are free tomorrow, December 20, for LRT Line 1, LRT Line 2, and MRT Line 3.

20:02According to the President, this is an initiative of the government to reduce expenses this Christmas.

20:08More than a million passengers are expected to benefit from the free ride.

20:15Pangs Malala is the one who feels that the red sun is about to end.

20:24But you will still be surprised in the last few episodes of this show.

20:28We have a spoiler-free girl, Larson Tiago.

20:35Eduardo, I love you so much.

20:40I love you so much.

20:46I don't know if I can do this anymore.

20:48They are together again.

20:50We can do this, Teresita.

20:54I'm here.

20:56In their separation, Teresita and Eduardo meet again.

21:02It's heartbreaking.

21:04It's so memorable for Sania Lopez,

21:07for her scenes as Teresita in the GMA Prime Family drama, Pulang Araw.

21:15Everything I did in the show, I love it so much.

21:18But this, it's so good to feel that it's still growing, especially for the next generations.

21:24It won't get old.

21:26That's what's good about the show that I did in this teleserie.

21:31Sania doesn't want to give a spoiler for what will happen in the upcoming episode of Pulang Araw.

21:38As long as there will be a lot of gimbals for what will happen.

21:42In the finale, just wait and see what will happen to Teresita, Eduardo, Hiroshi, and Adelina.

21:50Because a lot of people are waiting.

21:52Will someone die? Who will die? How many will die?

21:56This war will leave scars on us Filipinos.

22:00That's how this war will leave us.

22:04Because Sania's war in front of the camera is over,

22:10she wants to face the preparation for the upcoming Christmas.

22:15I'm looking forward to be with my loved ones.

22:18Of course, my family, my friends in our house.

22:21Because usually, Christmas is the only thing that gives us time to be together.

22:27That's why we're all free.

22:29And in the new year, Sania has an invitation to her loved ones.

22:35New year still, in the countdown.

22:38We'll see each other in the countdown.

22:40New year's countdown of GMA.

22:42Usually, I'm celebrating on the day after tomorrow.

22:46But same, I'm still in my house with my friends and family.

22:50War Santiago updated on the show's best happenings.

22:58Kapuso, there's a chance that a low-pressure area will erupt again.

23:04The former Kerubin earthquake.

23:06The LPA last saw it at a distance of 125 kilometers.

23:09East-northeast of Surigao City.

23:12It is expected that the possibility of another earthquake will remain

23:16for the next 24 hours.

23:18It can also be overcome by Visayas and Mindanao tomorrow.

23:22But even if there's an earthquake, LPA should not be complacent.

23:28Because it will continue to rain heavily.

23:31Along with this, there's a cheer line that it's possible that it will continue to rain in Luzon.

23:36Based on the data of Metro Weather,

23:38it will continue to rain heavily tomorrow in Mimaropa, Quezon Province, Mico Region,

23:42and almost all of Visayas and Mindanao.

23:45Heavy to intense rains.

23:47That's why residents should be alert

23:50In the upper Bantalan-Bacao landslide,

23:52there are also scattered rains in some parts of northern and central Luzon.

23:56Here in Metro Manila, there's still a chance of rain.

23:59Meanwhile, compared to yesterday,

24:01there are more places that have been placed under the Gale Warning of Hope.

24:05It will be a dangerous and dangerous situation for the people of northern Luzon

24:09and the eastern seaboard of southern Luzon.

24:12It's just a study if Executive Clemency will give Mary Jane Veloso.

24:18Right now, it's up to the President.

24:20There's another possible way for him to be released.

24:23But for now, he will be in a correctional facility for Christmas,

24:27even though he's with his family.

24:29Joseph Moro is on the line.

24:34If President Bongbong Marcos has the power to give Executive Clemency to Mary Jane Veloso,

24:40it needs to be studied.

24:42If possible, Executive Clemency to him.

24:45There's no condition that Indonesia should sign an agreement with the Philippines

24:50to transfer Mary Jane Veloso here for a life sentence of imprisonment.

24:55We're still far from there.

24:57We still have to have a look at really what her status is.

25:01Of course, we're aware of the request for clemency from her representatives,

25:07of course, and from her family.

25:10We will leave it to the legal judgment of our legal experts

25:20to determine whether the provision of clemency is appropriate.

25:28According to the Department of Justice,

25:30we can also look into the possibility of parole for Mary Jane.

25:33She only needs to serve a minimum of 20 years in prison for a life sentence.

25:39For now, Mary Jane has been in prison for almost 15 years in Indonesia since April 2010.

25:45We will also look into her system there.

25:51First, second, what was her conduct there.

25:55Third, what can be seen as favorable.

26:00Because the principle of our law is all procedural rules favorable to the accused are to be granted them.

26:11Under the Revised Implementing Rules and Guidelines of IRR of the Good Conduct Time Allowance Law,

26:17signed by DOJ on December 13,

26:20including the Good Conduct Time Allowance for all persons deprived of liberty or PDL,

26:26including cases of heinous crimes.

26:29According to Mary Jane's lawyer, if her GCTA is computed,

26:33she will only serve a minimum of 354 days and Mary Jane will be released from prison for 16 years,

26:40which is less than four years.

26:42It's very cheap.

26:44But for us, why do we need to go to a cheap country that can respect Indonesia.

26:52She just said a few times and it's written in our agreement that it's okay if you give clemency to your countrymen.

27:01DOJ also added that the Board of Pardons and Parole will recommend to the President

27:06if Mary Jane can receive executive clemency or parole.

27:10The Board of Pardons and Parole should make the proper evaluation.

27:15It's a long process.

27:17Mary Jane's family also wants clemency like her.

27:21If I receive clemency, my daughter will surely be free.

27:26That's what I want.

27:27We will be with her for the rest of her life.

27:30Especially, their fight for Mary Jane is not a joke.

27:34They fought until they were able to take her home yesterday.

27:38I was so nervous when I hugged Mary Jane and kissed her.

27:41I was afraid of my daughter.

27:42When she was about to die, she cried.

27:44Now, we're here and she's crying.

27:46According to Mary Jane, she doesn't have any clothes to wear

27:49because the Indonesians asked her to be her friend in prison.

27:54I told my sister, darling, I don't have any clothes.

27:57You're the only one.

27:58Huh? Why?

27:59My siblings said.

28:01I asked my friends.

28:03When I got here, I only have one guitar,

28:06and a few pieces of display and a bell.

28:09That's all she brought.

28:10But more importantly, they will be together this Christmas.

28:15On Christmas, the Veloso family was allowed to perform at the Correctional.

28:19Another rare opportunity after many years of separation.

28:23Because we will be together for the next 15 years,

28:27we are very happy as a family.

28:30For GMA Integrated News, Joseph Morong,

28:33for 24 Hours.

28:35My fellow countrymen,

28:36on the last Thursday before Christmas,

28:38many are running to prepare and give gifts.

28:42Chestnuts roasting as well.

28:44It's said to be for a song.

28:46But aside from chestnuts,

28:47you can also buy the fruit balls that will be played live.

28:50Mark Salazar.

28:51Mark.

28:56Emil, we were surrounded by two well-known families in Metro Manila

29:00to see if there are any last-minute shoppers.

29:03We saw them in Quiapo, Manila, and Green Hills, San Juan.

29:13Six days before Christmas,

29:15and less than two weeks before the 2025 celebration,

29:19the fruit balls in Quiapo, Manila are already spread.

29:23They are fresh.

29:24You can prepare up to a dozen kinds of fruit balls.

29:29But most of what they are selling now are chestnuts for Christmas,

29:34which are cheaper to buy here.

29:37But it is noteworthy that the buyers are cheap.

29:41Even though the famous ham in Quiapo is closed,

29:44it is not like before when the line is up to the road.

29:47But some vendors are still present.

29:49You can't have no ham.

29:51You can't.

29:52Every year.

29:53Do you buy a lot of ham?

29:55We buy a lot because it is our gift.

29:58Since my childhood, this is the best.

30:01That is the star of Noche Buena.

30:04Yes, you can't have no ham.

30:07Those who sell Christmas decor told me that

30:10Quiapo is really weak this year compared to last year.

30:14Online, that is the number one thing that is rising for us.

30:17In the hardship of life, calamities happened.

30:22Right?

30:23There was a typhoon like this.

30:24Right, sir?

30:25It is no longer a priority.

30:26Yes, it is no longer a priority.

30:29Unlike Green Hills, San Juan,

30:31the shops are full of clothes and toys.

30:35More last-minute shoppers are here.

30:38You bought it late.

30:40Why?

30:41Of course, we were waiting for a bonus.

30:44You bought a lot of things. What are those?

30:46Sare-sare, T-shirts, shorts, for relatives and friends.

30:52The vendors said that they are not affected by online shopping

30:57because the prices are enough for them to return for the quality of the product.

31:03In online shopping, the quality is lower.

31:06In online shopping, the product is easily damaged.

31:14Outdoor Christmas markets like Green Hills

31:19are still alive.

31:20The shops are still active,

31:22especially those who came from work and will eat here before going home.

31:27But Emil, the last-minute shoppers are not here anymore.

31:31Emil?

31:32Thank you very much, Mark Salazar.

31:35Next, the sales of fireworks in Lapo-Lapo, Cebu, skyrocketed.

31:42It has happened before in Bocaue, in Bulacan,

31:45which is also called the Firecracker Capital of the Philippines.

31:49That's why the inspection of the authorities there is regular.

31:52Rafi Kima was also affected.

31:54Miss Tulang was early to greet the new year of Sitio Kapayas,

32:03Barangay Kanhulao in Lapo-Lapo City, Cebu,

32:06when the firecrackers in a stall there almost exploded at the same time.

32:10Some firecrackers even flew towards their parked motorcycles.

32:16No one was hurt in the fire

32:20because the firemen responded immediately.

32:22But it caused a lot of chaos in the area.

32:30This scene is not far from the big fire that happened in 2007

32:34in the fireworks store in Bocaue, Bulacan,

32:36which is also called the Firecracker Capital of the Philippines.

32:39All the rows of firework stores were destroyed

32:42and a million pesos were confiscated because of this.

32:46But since then, the fire in Bocaue has not been re-ignited

32:49after they implemented the changes.

32:51The most important thing here is the prohibition of testing of firecrackers in the area.

32:55The characters spread around the area as a reminder.

32:59Even in other parts of Bocaue,

33:01where people who buy firecrackers from different parts of the city are recommended,

33:05the regulations are also strict.

33:07We have fire extinguisher, water, air, and fireball.

33:14And this is what we call the sound.

33:20Do you have a fire alarm?

33:21Yes, we have a fire alarm.

33:23Even those who pass by the area who are being harassed,

33:26they are also encouraged to avoid misfortune.

33:29What are you saying?

33:30That's prohibited. You can't do that.

33:33You will be arrested by the police.

33:35But they are following you.

33:37That's why you should be careful.

33:39Look around you.

33:41The Bureau of Fire Protection has also regularly visited 75 stores

33:45and 7 manufacturing sites in Bocaue

33:47as a reminder of the strict regulations on the sale of firecrackers.

33:51Those who buy firecrackers are also limited in the stores.

33:54There are only a few stores that are allowed to buy firecrackers.

33:58The more, the scarier.

34:01The surroundings should also be clean.

34:03There should be no dirt.

34:04According to the sellers here,

34:06they are open to the possibility of sharing their experience and knowledge

34:10on the safe and proper sale of firecrackers

34:12so that accidents like this won't happen again.

34:18For the GMA Integrated News,

34:20Rafi Tima for 24 Hours.

34:24The finance officer of Zunyuan Technology

34:28who escaped the raid in Bambantarlac this March

34:31has been arrested.

34:32Pan May Hsu was caught by Immigration, AFP, and PAOC

34:36while eating at a restaurant in Pasay City.

34:39Pan was found guilty of immigration violations.

34:43In addition to criminal complaints,

34:45he was also found guilty of human trafficking.

34:48We are trying to catch Pan.

34:57As the saying goes,

35:00even if it's not Christmas, it's still a gift.

35:03That's what a fire volunteer in Cebu is doing.

35:06The service was continued even though it was burned.

35:09That's why this Christmas,

35:11his friend was recognized.

35:14Nico Sereno of GMA Regional TV.

35:23More than 500 families,

35:25more than 1,600 individuals,

35:28lost their homes in a huge fire

35:30in Barangay Look in Mandaue City, Cebu last March.

35:40The fire was raised to the third alarm.

35:44One of those who immediately responded

35:46was the volunteer firefighter, Ryan Conson,

35:49who was on duty.

35:51He was shot in the body.

35:53And when the fire was extinguished,

35:55Ryan was also among the temporary survivors

35:58in Barangay Look Gym along with the others who were burned.

36:02His house was also among those who were burned.

36:05It's really hard because you helped other people

36:10and your house was already gone.

36:13It was already burned.

36:15I insured my son.

36:17Even though he lost his home,

36:19he was thankful that his whole family was saved

36:22and they were able to celebrate Christmas together.

36:25It will continue no matter what happens.

36:28It will still continue.

36:30This is Cebu.

36:35After a month,

36:37Ryan and his family continued to recover

36:41with the help of good-hearted people.

36:46For the barangay chairman of Look,

36:48Ryan's sacrifice is unforgivable.

36:51What Ryan is really showing

36:54is really a determination of a volunteer job.

36:58So despite of what happened,

37:01traumatic,

37:04but he continued to serve as a fire volunteer.

37:08He is part of the employee of the year,

37:11most outstanding employee of the year of 2024

37:13here in Barangay Look.

37:18This Christmas and the new year,

37:21Ryan hopes that his family and all the victims of the fire

37:25will live well.

37:31No matter what happens,

37:33as long as we are together,

37:35let's just enjoy Christmas.

37:38We can't do anything about the riot.

37:43We should be happy because it's Christmas.

37:47For GMA Regional TV,

37:49Balitang Bisdak and GMA Integrated News,

37:56Rico Sereno was arrested for 24 hours.

38:00Mayor Enrico Roque and his two accomplices

38:02were thrown out of the court.

38:05They were given an arrest warrant

38:07against them for several rape cases.

38:09They were taken to the motion

38:11filed in the Caloocan Regional Trial Court.

38:13The case is a work in progress

38:15and has a political backing.

38:17The accused were not given a chance to be informed

38:19of the details of the cases filed against them

38:21that violated their rights.

38:23They were also asked by the court

38:25to return the case to the prosecution

38:27for further investigation.

38:29The party list of the PhilHealth and Development Bank of the Philippines

38:33was rejected

38:36after being rejected

38:38because it is impossible to use it

38:40in the upcoming election.

38:42According to the party list,

38:44the lack of healthcare facilities in the country

38:46should be addressed.

38:48But the Senate questioned the timing of this

38:51and if the party list is still needed

38:54to implement the program.

38:56According to the party list,

38:58they saw that their participation in the program

39:01will not help.

39:03They asked the government agency

39:06to review the program

39:08as a solution.

39:18The whole world has been waiting

39:20for the hot temperature this 2024,

39:22which is considered the hottest year on record.

39:25It is so hot that there is a chance of a strong typhoon.

39:28It will continue until the next year.

39:31This is the warning of the changing climate

39:34in the report of Rafi Tima.

39:39While the sweat of many people

39:41started this year,

39:43the lands are already dry.

39:45According to the forecast,

39:47the temperature in the country is record-breaking

39:49because of El Nino,

39:50but not only in the Philippines.

39:53There is evidence that 2024

39:55is the hottest year on record

39:57in the whole world.

39:59And according to the European Union

40:01Copernicus Climate Change Service or C3S,

40:03it is almost certain that this will be the first year

40:05that the 1.5 degree Celsius climate benchmark

40:08or the limit of heat

40:10will not affect global warming.

40:12This is what we call a tipping point

40:14that the process is irreversible.

40:16Those with biodiversity, for example,

40:19may not be able to survive

40:21in their adaptive capacity.

40:30The strong typhoon, for example,

40:32is also a result of the warming of the seas around the world,

40:35like the Pacific.

40:36At a depth of more than 450 meters

40:39below our sea level,

40:41it became favorable to tropical cyclone development

40:45that is affecting our country.

40:47Gemma has been here in Araneta Avenue,

40:50in Barangay Tatalon in Quezon City.

40:52This year, they experienced

40:54a series of floods.

40:56The most dangerous was the Karina typhoon.

40:58Karina hit our trapal.

41:02Where did you go?

41:03Second floor.

41:04I even ran away.

41:07They lost P100,000 because of the floods.

41:10The vulcanizing shop and small karenderia

41:12were also affected.

41:14I recovered about five months ago.

41:18All my belongings were thrown away.

41:25Even with the minimum temperature at night,

41:27it is hotter this year than last year.

41:30This does not only increase the consumption of electricity,

41:33it may also result in the decrease

41:35in the quality of agricultural products.

41:37The worse news is,

41:39the hot weather may continue

41:41until the first quarter of next year.

41:44Under-rain-bearing weather systems

41:47may also be active,

41:49such as the Intertropical Convergence Zone,

41:51Shear Line,

41:52and the surge of the North-East Monsoon

41:56or AMIHAN,

41:57which we have not yet experienced.

41:59These are the possibilities

42:01of rain during the new year.

42:05The typhoons of 2024 are already severe,

42:07but that is not the only bad news.

42:11It is expected that the flood line in the country

42:13will continue in 2025

42:15and may result in a lower temperature.

42:18No matter what,

42:19the typhoons and floods are still expected

42:21in the next year.

42:22So now,

42:23it is time to prepare.

42:25For GMA Integrated News,

42:27Rafi Lima,

42:2824 Hours.

42:32The former Kerubin Typhoon

42:34was a low-pressure area,

42:36but some parts of Davao del Norte were affected.

42:38Residents were forced to evacuate.

42:41The Bicol Region experienced heavy rainfall

42:44due to the effect of the Shear Line.

42:46Ian Krug was affected.

42:51The part of Bagonggawang Temporary Bridge

42:53in Bulan, Sorsogon,

42:54was continuously flooded.

42:57It was not able to cross the river

42:59no matter what type of vehicle it was.

43:01That is why the barangay members

43:02were afraid.

43:03They just swam.

43:05To this day,

43:06the whole province

43:08experienced heavy rainfall

43:10in the Bicol Region

43:12due to the effect of the Shear Line.

43:17The former Kerubin Typhoon,

43:19which is now part of the LPA,

43:21continues to bring rain

43:22to Visayas and Mindanao

43:24in Panabo City, Davao del Norte.

43:26Some houses were flooded.

43:28The shops of a resident

43:30were flooded.

43:33The streets of Visayas and Mindanao

43:35were flooded.

43:36Residents were forced to evacuate.

43:386 families or 20 individuals

43:40from 4 barangays in Lungsod

43:42were evacuated.

43:46The flow of water

43:48on the National Highway

43:50was slow due to the effect

43:52of the low-pressure area.

43:54The local government suspended

43:56all kinds of work

43:58in public offices.

44:00In Tagum City,

44:01almost 60 families

44:03from Magdum Barangay

44:05were evacuated

44:07due to the flood last night.

44:09The affected resident

44:11was also home this morning.

44:13A lane in Kilometer 69 National Highway

44:15was temporarily closed

44:17in Tuboran, Mawab, Davao de Oro

44:19because of a minor landslide.

44:21Clearing operations

44:23immediately began.

44:25For GMA Integrated News,

46:31they will continue to give

46:33recognition

46:34for the live entertainment industry.

46:37Aubrey Carambel,

46:39updated to show this happening.

46:43Thank you, Ia.

46:44It's just right for the Ninong and Ninang

46:46who are looking for

46:47crispy money for Aguinaldo,

46:49the new Polymer Money

46:51that will be released by Banco Central.

46:53When and where can you get it?

46:55Let's find out

46:56in Mani Zubalig's coverage.

46:59Some people asked

47:00what they want to receive this Christmas.

47:02Cash or money is the answer of others.

47:04That's why it's just right

47:06that Banco Central of the Philippines

47:08gave new money.

47:09BSP recently presented

47:11to President Bombo Marcos

47:13the Polymer Bank Notes

47:15of 500 pesos,

47:16100 pesos,

47:17and 50 pesos.

47:18The first Philippine Polymer Bank Notes Series

47:21is smarter,

47:23cleaner,

47:24and stronger.

47:26Smarter because they have advanced

47:29anti-counterfeiting features

47:31and a smaller carbon footprint.

47:34Cleaner

47:35because viruses and bacteria

47:37do not survive on polymer

47:39as long as they do on paper.

47:42And stronger

47:44because they last longer

47:46than their paper counterparts.

47:48The pandemic reminded us

47:50of just how important

47:52hygiene is in our daily lives.

47:54Cash, which passes to countless hands every day,

47:57can carry germs, bacteria,

47:59and even viruses.

48:01And if they do get dirty,

48:02you can easily wipe them off

48:04with a damp cloth

48:06without any damage

48:07to the bank notes whatsoever.

48:09Another key advantage is security.

48:12Their advanced security features

48:14make it more difficult to replicate.

48:16You can now get it from banks

48:18starting December 23,

48:20but only in the Greater Manila Area.

48:22Starting in January,

48:23it is expected to circulate

48:25throughout the country.

48:26This is what the new

48:28Polymer Bank Notes look like,

48:29or what we will see

48:31in circulation starting next week.

48:33Aside from the 1,000 pesos

48:35where the Philippine Eagle is located,

48:37the 500-peso bill

48:40includes the Scion Spotted Deer,

48:42the Palawan Peacock Pheasant

48:44for 100 pesos,

48:46and the Scion Leopard Cat

48:48for 50 pesos.

48:49Beyond featuring our biodiversity,

48:52these notes honor the everyday culture

48:54that we live and that we see around us.

48:57The intricate weave patterns

48:59carry the stories of families,

49:01communities, and generations

49:03who have kept these traditions alive

49:05through their hands and hard work.

49:07But even if there is a change in money,

49:09old paper can still be used.

49:12But because it is stronger,

49:13Polymer Notes are said to be more practical.

49:15Polymer Bank Notes can last

49:17up to seven and a half years,

49:18five times longer.

49:20And that means that we no longer need

49:22to replace them as often.

49:24Saving money,

49:25cutting down on waste,

49:26and making a meaningful contribution

49:28to protecting the environment.

49:30You can throw it away.

49:31You can't plant it.

49:32This is plastic,

49:34so it will really be damaged.

49:36For GMA Integrated News,

49:38Maris Umali for 24 Hours.

49:41And now for the news this Thursday.

49:44My fellow countrymen,
