NewsTranscript
00:00Big Boss was arrested by a syndicate that has been wanted in South Korea for a long time.
00:05He was also involved in a fraudulent operation in the Philippines and earned a sum of more than 50 billion Pesos.
00:13John Consulta, Exclusive, was able to find out about it.
00:16Sir, is that you, J?
00:18A Korean national thought that he was being followed to investigate the operatives of the D.I. Fugitive Search Unit who were being caught by him.
00:29You are under arrest and you have the right to remain silent.
00:36Anything you say can and will be used against you in the court.
00:39The suspect was arrested in Quezon City.
00:41He was wanted because of a fraudulent operation here in the Philippines.
00:44He earned a lot of money because of his involvement in online fraud.
00:49The so-called Big Boss of the Korean online gambling syndicate,
00:54from the start of their operation, they earned almost 1 billion U.S. dollars in setting up their online gambling site.
01:03They have been wanted in South Korea for a long time.
01:05But it is very difficult because of their discretion in operating here in our country.
01:10They operate in houses only to avoid being inspected or being regulated by our law enforcement.
01:18It is more risky for them to do fraud or scam because they are not regulated.
01:26If their arrest is not a local case, he will be deported back to Korea to face his case.
01:33The last suspect is yet to be released from the B.I. Detention Facility in Binggutan.
01:38For GMA Integrated News, John Consulta, Nakatutok, 24 Hours.
01:45Early Christmas for train drivers.
01:49Free ride tomorrow, December 20, in LRT Line 1, LRT Line 2, and MRT Line 3, according to the President.
01:59This is an initiative of the government to reduce expenses this Christmas.
02:03More than a million passengers are expected to benefit from the free ride.
02:15Pangs Malala is the one who feels that the red sun is about to end.
02:20But you will still be surprised in the last few episodes.
02:24Larson Tiago has a spoiler-free story.
02:31Eduardo, I love you so much.
02:37I love you so much.
02:39I don't know if I can do this anymore.
02:44They are together again.
02:46We can do this, Teresita.
02:50I'm here.
02:52In their separation, Teresita and Eduardo met again.
02:57Heartbreaking.
03:00It's so memorable for Sania Lopez to have these scenes as Teresita in GMA Prime Family Drama, Napulang Araw.
03:11Everything I did in the show, I love it so much.
03:14But this, it's so good to feel that it's still growing, especially for the next generations.
03:21It won't get old. That's what's good about the show I did, in this teleserie.
03:27Sania doesn't want to give a spoiler on what will happen in the upcoming episode of Napulang Araw.
03:34As long as there will be a lot of gimbals in what will happen.
03:38In the finale, wait for it.
03:40What will happen in the finale between Teresita, Eduardo, Hiroshi, and Adelina?
03:46Because a lot of people are waiting.
03:48Will someone die? Who will die? How many will die?
03:52This war will leave scars on us Filipinos.
03:57That's how this war will leave us.
04:00Forgive me.
04:01Because Sania's war in front of the camera is over, she wants to face the preparation for the upcoming Christmas.
04:11I'm looking forward to be with my loved ones.
04:14Of course, my family, my friends in our house.
04:17Because usually, Christmas is the only thing that gives us time to be together.
04:23Because that's the only thing, we're all free.
04:25And in the new year, Sania has an invitation to her loved ones.
04:31New Year still, in the countdown.
04:34We'll see each other in the countdown, the New Year's countdown of GMA.
04:38And usually, I'm celebrating on the next day.
04:42But same, in the house, with my friends, family.
04:46Who are Santiago, updated on the showbiz happening.
04:55Kapuso, there's a chance that the low-pressure area of the former Kerubin will erupt again.
05:02The LPA last saw it at a distance of 125 kilometers, east-northeast of Surigao City.
05:08It is expected that the possibility of it erupting again in the next 24 hours will remain.
05:14It can also be overcome by Visayas and Mindanao tomorrow.
05:18But whether it erupts or remains as the LPA,
05:21we should not be complacent, because it will continue to rain heavily.
05:27Along with this, there is a cheer line that it is possible that it will continue to rain in Luzon.
05:32Based on the data of Metro Weather,
05:34it will continue to rain heavily tomorrow in Mimaropa, Quezon Province, Mico Region,
05:38and almost all of Visayas and Mindanao.
05:41Heavy to intense rains, that's why residents should be alert.
05:46With the high chance of landslide, there are also scattered rains in some parts of Northern and Central Luzon.
05:52Here in Metro Manila, the chance of rain is still there.
05:56Meanwhile, compared to yesterday, the places that were under the Gale Warning of Hope
06:01will be dangerous and dangerous for the people of Northern Luzon and Eastern Seaboard of Southern Luzon.
06:08It is still under study if the Executive Clemency will be given to Mary Jane Veloso.
06:13According to the President, there is another possible way for him to be released.
06:19But for now, he will be in the correctional facility for Christmas,
06:23even though he is with his family.
06:25Joseph Moro has the floor.
06:30If President Bongbong Marcos, who has the power to give the Executive Clemency to Mary Jane Veloso,
06:36will ask for it, it is still under study if the Executive Clemency will be given to him.
06:41There is no condition that Indonesia should sign an agreement with the Philippines
06:46to transfer money to Veloso for a life-long sentence of abduction.
06:51We're still far from that. We still have to have a look at really what her status is.
06:57Of course, we're aware of the request for clemency from her representatives, of course, and from her family.
07:04And we will leave it to the legal judgment of our legal experts to determine
07:17whether the provision of clemency is appropriate.
07:24According to the Department of Justice, we can also see if the parole for Mary Jane is allowed.
07:29She only needs to serve a minimum of 20 years in prison for a life sentence.
07:35As of now, Mary Jane has been in prison for almost 15 years in Indonesia since April 2010.
07:41We will also look at her system there.
07:47First, second, what was her conduct there.
07:51Third, what can be seen as favorable.
07:56Because the principle of our law is all procedural rules favorable to the accused are to be granted them.
08:07Under the Revised Implementing Rules and Guidelines of IRR of the Good Conduct Time Allowance Law,
08:13signed by DOJ on December 13,
08:16including the Good Conduct Time Allowance for all persons deprived of liberty or PDL,
08:22including cases of heinous crimes.
08:24According to Mary Jane's lawyer, if her GCTA is computed,
08:28there will be a minimum of 354 days and Mary Jane will be released from prison for 16 years,
08:36which is less than four years.
08:38The DOJ added that the Board of Pardons and Parole will recommend to the President
09:02if the Executive Clemency or parole can be given to Mary Jane.
09:06The Board of Pardons and Parole should make the proper evaluation.
09:11It's a long process.
09:13Mary Jane's family also wants a clemency like hers.
09:17If it's a clemency, my daughter will surely be free.
09:22That's what I want.
09:23We will be with her for the rest of her life.
09:26Especially, their fight for Mary Jane is not a joke.
09:30They even joined her in returning home yesterday.
09:34I was listening.
09:35When I hugged Mary Jane and kissed her, I asked my daughter,
09:39when will she die?
09:40She cried.
09:41Now, we're here.
09:42She cried.
09:43According to Mary Jane, she doesn't have any clothes left
09:46because the Indonesians asked her to be her friend in prison.
09:50I told her, darling, I don't have any clothes.
09:54You're the only one.
09:55Huh? Why?
09:56The brothers said.
09:57I asked my friends.
09:59When he arrived here, he only brought a guitar,
10:02a few pieces of display, and a bell.
10:05That's all he brought.
10:06But more importantly, they will be together this Christmas.
10:10On Christmas, the Veloso family was allowed to perform at the Correctional.
10:15Another rare opportunity after many years of separation.
10:19Because we will be together for 15 years now,
10:23we're really happy as a family.
10:26For GMA Integrated News, Joseph Morong,
10:28Katutok 24 Horas.
10:31My fellow countrymen, on the last Thursday before Christmas,
10:34a lot of people are running to prepare and give gifts.
10:38Chestnuts roasting as well.
10:40It's said to be in one place.
10:42But aside from chestnuts,
10:43you can also buy the fruits that are sold live.
10:46This is Mark Salazar.
10:47Mark.
10:52Emil, we were surrounded by two well-known families in Metro Manila
10:56to see if there are still last-minute shoppers.
10:59We saw a difference in Quiapo, Manila, and Green Hills, San Juan.
11:09Six days before Christmas,
11:11and less than two weeks before Salugong 2025,
11:15the fruits in Quiapo, Manila are already spread.
11:19They are fresh.
11:20You can prepare up to a dozen kinds of fruits.
11:25But most of what they are selling now are chestnuts for Christmas,
11:30which are cheaper to buy here.
11:33But it's noteworthy that they are buying thin ones.
11:37Even though the famous ham in Quiapo is closed,
11:40it's not like before when the line is up to the road.
11:43But some vendors are still present.
11:45You can't not have ham.
11:47You can't.
11:48Every year.
11:49Do you buy a lot of ham?
11:51We buy a lot because it's our gift.
11:54Since my childhood, this is the best.
11:57That's the star of Noche Buena.
12:00Yes, you can't not have ham.
12:02The Christmas decor shopper told us that
12:05Quiapo is really weak this year compared to last year.
12:10Online, that's the number one thing that caught our attention.
12:12In the hard times of my life, calamities happened.
12:17Right?
12:18There was a typhoon like this, right sir?
12:20It's not a priority anymore.
12:22Yes, it's not a priority anymore.
12:24Unlike Green Hills and Juan,
12:27the stores are full of clothes and toys.
12:31Here are more last-minute shoppers.
12:34You bought it late.
12:36Why?
12:37Of course, we waited. It's like a bonus.
12:40You bought a lot. What are those?
12:42Sare-sare.
12:43T-shirts.
12:44Shorts.
12:45For relatives and friends.
12:48The shoppers say that they are not affected by online shopping
12:53because they are satisfied with the prices that come back for the quality of the product.
12:59Online is lower quality.
13:02If it's online, the product is easily damaged.
13:11Outdoor Christmas markets like Green Hills
13:15are still alive.
13:16The shops are still active,
13:18especially those who come from work,
13:20who will eat here before going home.
13:23But Emil, the last-minute shoppers are not here anymore.
13:27Emil.
13:28Thank you very much, Mark Salazar.
