00:00We will be together in Saksi!
00:14Before Saksi, the fire is almost covered with black smoke.
00:18In Manila Bay, after it was burned, the Philippine Coast Guard immediately responded to put out the fire.
00:24They will also carry out the initial investigation.
00:28Calvario, the bumper-to-bumper traffic on the Andaya Highway in Lupi, or Lupi, Camarines Sur.
00:35It is full of damaged roads, road re-blocking, and landslides.
00:39Only one lane can be passed in some places.
00:42And the previous one-hour trip is now reaching five hours, and it is possible that Christmas will come soon.
00:48Various government agencies have already helped in managing the traffic.
00:52And the DPWH has already started to fix the landslide.
00:57The DPWH Region 5 asked for an explanation for the fire and assured that they have already solved the problem.
01:09A group of armed men is now looking for a Chinese national who was accused of being the boss of Pogo in Paranaque.
01:16The victim's bodyguard and guard were arrested because it is possible that he was involved in a crime.
01:21Saksi! See June Veneration!
01:26Upon entering the backyard of the house in a subdivision in Paranaque City,
01:30six armed men immediately approached the bodyguard and disarmed him.
01:35The next man approached him.
01:37After a few minutes, the Chinese national was released from the house.
01:41He was handcuffed while being held by two men.
01:44Here, this is Mr. ***.
01:48They were wearing high-heels.
01:51They entered the house around 3.20 p.m. and left the house around 3.50 p.m.
01:59They were inside the village for about 30 minutes.
02:02The armed men were wearing clothes and vests with a police badge on the back.
02:08But according to the Paranaque City Police, they are not real police.
02:12They just pretended to be police officers.
02:16According to the security at Gate 1, they pretended to be police officers and there was an operation inside.
02:23They will serve a warrant of arrest.
02:26That's why Mr. *** just pretended to be police officers so that they can enter the house quickly.
02:32Based on the information obtained by the investigators,
02:35the victim is a businessman and is considered to be the boss of Pogo in Paranaque.
02:40The group is still investigating who is the leader of the group that has not yet received a ransom demand.
02:46One of the morals of the Chinese is that if they are not able to pay their debts,
02:51they will have their countrymen kidnapped.
02:56They also have their relatives in China arrested.
03:00This is also related to Pogo.
03:03Based on the investigation by the police,
03:05one of the suspects is a former sub-division guard.
03:08He was seen by a witness who talked to the victim's bodyguard and bodyguard.
03:13They were not far from his house a few days before the crime.
03:16When we went out to investigate, they were inside the incident.
03:20That's why we arrested them.
03:22Because of this, the victim's bodyguard and bodyguard were arrested.
03:26They are facing a claim of kidnapping and seven other suspects.
03:35Are you the bodyguard?
03:37Yes, I'm the driver.
03:38Are you the driver?
03:40He's the security guard.
03:43I'm the security guard.
03:46For GMA Integrated News, I'm Jun Veneracion, your witness.
03:52More than Php 60 million worth of shabu was found in the luggage of a foreign woman in IA.
03:57The suspect introduced himself as a student in the Philippines,
04:00but the name of the school is not mentioned.
04:03Witness, Marisol Abdurrahman.
04:08We're trying to release her.
04:10This woman was arrested in IA Terminal 3 after she was caught inside her luggage.
04:16According to the PNP-FC group, the drug was found in the false compartment of her bag.
04:21It was not found.
04:23It was designed to mislead our inspectors.
04:27But upon closer inspection and with the help of our K-9s,
04:32we will find out what's inside.
04:35Our K-9s were positive for drugs.
04:40So they opened the luggage in the presence of our drug interdiction task group.
04:46When we found out it was drugs, it was tested.
04:49More than Php 60 million worth of shabu was found in the luggage of a foreign woman in IA.
04:59She introduced herself as a student in the Philippines,
05:01but her passport was found in the country for the first time.
05:05She doesn't have a school to say which school,
05:09and she doesn't have any reservations or dormitories.
05:12The suspect drove a hot flight from Addis Ababa Airport in Ethiopia.
05:17That's why the authorities here in the Philippines are concerned.
05:21According to the PNP-FC group,
05:24the hot flight is called by the passengers who are accompanied by a drug carrier from the country of origin.
05:30We already have info from our foreign counterparts,
05:33and we have prior information that drugs usually come from that destination.
05:40We are already initiating behavior surveillance.
05:43The suspect is still being investigated for being connected to a drug syndicate,
05:46which has not been released yet.
05:49For GMA Integrated News, Marisol Abduraman is your reporter.
05:56Last Thursday, before Christmas, how was the situation in PITX?
06:00And their reporter, Von Aquino.
06:03Von?
06:08Pia, yesterday, the passengers who will return to their provinces to celebrate Christmas fell ill here in PITX.
06:19Almarello, who is headed to Marinesur,
06:21traveled early so that it will not be difficult for him to travel on the weekend
06:25if the passengers are expected to fall ill.
06:28Richard, who is an OFW from Taiwan, will travel to Quezon.
06:33Along with the passengers falling ill, security is also tight inside the terminal.
06:38Luggage is being inspected and there are K-9 units as well.
06:42According to the PITX,
06:44until Monday, they are expecting the peak of the number of passengers who will travel to the province for Christmas.
06:53So that it will not affect the flow of many passengers returning home.
07:02According to the PITX, as of 8pm,
07:05the number of passengers in the terminal has reached more than 160,000.
07:11As of now, there are still no fully booked flights.
07:14And live from PITX, for GEME Integrated News, I am your host, Von Aquino.
07:21The number of passengers in the provinces and airports is increasing as Christmas is approaching.
07:26And in the Northport Passenger Terminal in Manila,
07:28the aircon is being fixed and new x-ray machines are being installed.
07:32Witness, Chino Gaston.
07:35Three new x-ray machines were installed in the Northport Passenger Terminal
07:39to speed up the inspection.
07:42Other facilities have also been fixed,
07:45especially to assist the ladies, senior citizens and PWD.
07:50The new centralized air conditioning system is also being finished.
07:54The luggage is being installed more quickly.
07:58The luggage is being installed continuously.
08:01And our luggage x-ray operators will be able to see
08:06if there are any prohibited luggage.
08:11Because it is expected that it will be more comfortable in the terminal,
08:14even if Jocelyn has to wait for hours,
08:17it's okay for her to go home to Bacolod City.
08:20We are early because sometimes there's traffic. It's better to be early.
08:24According to the Philippine Ports Authority,
08:26it is possible that 4.5 million passengers will pass through the border
08:31from December 15 until the end of the Christmas season on January 3.
08:35The majority will pass through Batangas Port,
08:37where the RORE buses will pass to Visayas and Mindanao.
08:41In IA-3, heavy traffic of vehicles in the departure area of the terminal
08:47also lined up for check-in counters of international and domestic flights.
08:51According to Manila International Airport Authority,
08:54140,000 to 150,000 passengers pass through IA every day
09:00from the start of the Christmas season on December 15
09:04and up to 156,000 when December 22 arrives.
09:08For GMA Integrated News, who is your guest?
09:14The welcome to the new year is crispy.
09:16Those who can get a new design for P50, P100, and P500
09:22are now made of polymer.
09:24It will be available in banks on December 23,
09:27but only in the Greater Manila Area.
09:30Watch out for Marie Zumali!
09:36This is the Visayan Leopard Cat, also known as Maral.
09:39It can be found in Negros and Panay Islands
09:42and is considered vulnerable or endangered
09:46in the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species of 2008.
09:50It is a Visayan Leopard Cat
09:52in the new polymer banknotes of Banco Central.
09:55It is a endangered and native species of animals and flowers,
10:00wild animals, and native hobbies in the Philippines.
10:04This is what the new polymer banknotes look like
10:07or the money that we will see in circulation starting next week.
10:11Aside from Php 1,000 where the Philippine Eagle is located,
10:15the Visayan Spotted Deer, Php 500,
10:20Php 100 for the Palawan Peacock Pheasant,
10:24and Php 50 for the Visayan Leopard Cat are also available.
10:28The first Philippine polymer banknote series
10:31is smarter, cleaner, and stronger.
10:36Smarter because they have advanced anti-counterfeiting features
10:41and a smaller carbon footprint.
10:44Cleaner because viruses and bacteria do not survive on polymer
10:49as long as they do on paper.
10:52And stronger because they last longer than their paper counterparts.
10:57And if they do get dirty, you can easily wipe them off
11:01with a damp cloth without any damage to the banknote whatsoever.
11:06Another key advantage is security.
11:09Counterfeiting has always been a problem for economies around the world.
11:13But polymer banknotes are a notable progressive change.
11:18Their advanced security features make it more difficult to replicate.
11:22Starting December 23, new banknotes can be obtained from banks.
11:27But this is limited to the Greater Manila area.
11:30In January, the circulation will be expanded throughout the country.
11:34According to the BSP, old paper money can still be used.
11:38This is not allowed to be traded.
11:40This is plastic, so it can be damaged.
11:43For GMA Integrated News, I'm Maris Umali.
11:47Saksi!
11:49The third impeachment complaint is against Vice President Sara Duterte.
11:53Aside from the confidential funds mentioned in the complaint,
11:56several deputies from the Vice President were also arrested.
12:01Saksi! Tina Panganiban Perez.
12:08Three impeachment complaints have already been filed against Vice President Sara Duterte.
12:14Complaints are being filed against the three plaintiffs,
12:17the parties, lawyers, and members of the NGO.
12:20We believe VP Sara committed something illegal and something immoral
12:26against the Filipino people.
12:28For us, thou shall not kill, thou shall not steal, thou shall not bear false witness.
12:35It is not included in the reasons why Vice President should be removed from office
12:39are culpable violation of the Constitution and betrayal of public trust.
12:44This is still related to the misuse of confidential funds.
12:50This is based on the results of the committee hearings done by Congress.
12:58This is based on the fact that the disbursements of the confidential funds,
13:03the disbursements were not properly done.
13:06The use of fictitious individuals.
13:09It was also mentioned in the third complaint,
13:11that Vice President Duterte was arrested by several officials of the DepEd
13:15who were accused of eavesdropping on the camera.
13:18The complainants asked,
13:20if Vice President Duterte will not be impeached,
13:23what will stop other government officials from extorting money from the people?
13:29It's no longer just.
13:31The legal and constitutional obligation of the members of the House of Representatives to impeach
13:39and for the Senate to remove from office the sitting Vice President of the Republic of the Philippines,
13:45it has now become their moral obligation to do so.
13:52The third impeachment complaint was endorsed by Nakamarinesul 3rd District Rep. Gabriel Bordado
13:57and Aambis Owa Partylist Rep. Lex Anthony Crisco Lada.
14:04Bordado said, no one, regardless of their rank or influence,
14:09is above the law.
14:12According to House Secretary General Reginald Velasco,
14:16he has not yet transmitted the first two impeachment complaints to the office of the Speaker.
14:21And like the first two impeachment complaints,
14:24the third complaint will be reviewed by the legal department of the camera.
14:29GMA Integrated News is also trying to get Vice President Duterte,
14:34but he has repeatedly denied that there was nothing wrong with the use of OVP of confidential funds.
14:41He has previously denied the allegation of embezzlement.
14:45He also said that he will face any complaint or case against him.
14:50For GMA Integrated News, I am Tina Panganiban Perez, your witness.
14:57Pandi Bulacan Mayor Enrico Roque and two other accused are being trashed in the court.
15:03The arrest warrant against them is related to a rape case.
15:06According to the motion filed in the Caloocan Regional Trial Court,
15:10the case is fake and has a political basis.
15:13He also did not give the opportunity to inform the accused
15:17the details of another case against them that they violated their rights.
15:22They also asked the court to return the case to the prosecution for further investigation.
15:30President Bombo Marcos is looking at the insertions or changes made by the judges
15:35in the 2025 national budget that is not in the original proposed budget of the Executive.
15:41In addition to the President, he will not return the budget to the Congress,
15:44except to some judges.
15:47Witness, Ian Cruz.
15:53In the midst of the allegations and the reduction of the allocation in the 2025 national budget,
16:00judges were asked to return the budget to the House of Representatives for the proper provision.
16:06But President Bombo Marcos said,
16:08That is not in the procedure.
16:09There is no procedure to return it to the Bicam.
16:13It's up to us now to look at the items and to see what are appropriate,
16:18what are relevant, and what are the priorities.
16:21Along with the President and his Cabinet,
16:25he is also looking at the insertions made by the judges
16:28or those that are not in the original National Expenditure Program
16:31proposed budget submitted by the Executive.
16:35Do we really need it? Maybe others don't need it.
16:39Can it be deferred?
16:40Some of the project proposals have already been approved.
16:44We are starting to see some project proposals that do not have the appropriate program of work.
16:52There is no appropriate documentation.
16:55It is not clear where the money will go.
16:58That is what we will clarify.
17:01According to the President, he cannot avoid coming here.
17:04In some provisions of the 2025 National Budget,
17:08so that the priority of the government will be the budget for the next year.
17:13We have to have a look because a lot of things have changed
17:18from the budget requests from the different departments.
17:23And we have to put it back in the same shape that we had first requested.
17:29So, unfortunately, we are only left now, I am only left now with the veto power
17:38because we are already done.
17:40Now, it's up to us on how we regain control of the spending program.
17:47According to the President, the benefits from PhilHealth will not be reduced
17:52even if the government's subsidy is zero.
17:55For the seniors, for the poor, for the middle class,
17:59nothing will be reduced, not even a cent.
18:02Quite the opposite.
18:04We will increase that in 2025.
18:07PhilHealth will provide more services.
18:12The payment that will be given to the insurance claim will be greater.
18:17He also believes that the General Appropriations Bill or GAAP
18:22can be signed before 2024 ends.
18:25If not, it will go back to the reenacted budget
18:29where the budget will be the same for the next 100 years.
18:32According to the GMA Integrated News Research,
18:35in 2001, 2004, and 2006,
18:39the country operated in the reenacted budget for the whole year.
18:44As for the partial reenacted budget in 2019,
18:47when was it reenacted?
18:48From the 2018 budget for the first three months.
18:52According to the Department of Finance,
18:55if not because of that,
18:566.6% to 7.2% of the economy was affected in the first quarter.
19:02It was affected more than 5.6%.
19:07If the budget was passed on time,
19:10the economy benefited from the government's higher spending,
19:14for example, on infrastructure projects.
19:17According to the DOF,
19:19the underspending reached Php 1 billion per day
19:22because of the reenacted budget.
19:24The partial reenacted budget was also used in 2003, 2005, 2008, and 2009.
19:32For GMA Integrated News, I am Ian Cruz, your witness.
19:38According to the Justice Department,
19:40the former President Rodrigo Duterte and other personalities,
19:43according to President Bongbong Marcos,
19:45will face the complaint of Crimes Against Humanity.
19:48The DOJ has not yet accepted the report of the House Quad Committee,
19:52but they plan to consolidate it in the ongoing investigation of the Task Force EJK.
19:57The DOJ will also invite those who faced the Quad Committee
20:01to make their affidavit formal.
20:04The former President's statements are said to be admissible evidence
20:07because they were made under oath.
20:11GMA Integrated News continues to strive to get the former President's report.
20:16The DOJ is also studying if the case build-up will have an effect
20:20in the investigation of the International Criminal Court, or ICC.
20:25Some families are fed up with the high price of rice.
20:30Some families are fed up with the high price of rice.
20:39Six days before Christmas,
20:41the Department of Trade and Industry and the Department of Agriculture
20:45inspected a family in Guadalupe, Makati.
20:48Here, they noticed the high price of rice.
20:51The rice should be sold for Php 47 to Php 49 per kilo,
20:55but it was sold for Php 62.
20:57It is possible that this is a case of profiteering.
20:59It was sold for Php 42.
21:01So you should say that it should be sold for Php 5 to Php 7.
21:06So it should be Php 47 to Php 49, not Php 62.
21:10I have to look at the legal ways that we can sell them.
21:15Php 10 per kilo of pork was increased in African Swine Fever,
21:20and Php 20 per kilo of chicken.
21:22And Php 50 per kilo of fish was expensive in the sea
21:26because it is a closed fishing season, according to the DA.
21:29It is possible that it is expensive, according to a store.
21:32Php 20 or Php 10.
21:34That's the price of Noche Buena.
21:36The price of some vegetables, like tomatoes,
21:39has also increased to Php 200 per kilo.
21:41According to DTI, the high price of Noche Buena items is no more than 5%.
21:45There's no price increase until the end of the year.
21:48That's what we discussed with the manufacturers.
21:51If the Noche Buena was simple before,
21:53some will choose to make it simpler.
21:55You can really reduce it.
21:57At least, there's still something ready.
22:00In Green Hills and Juan,
22:02many last-minute shoppers rushed.
22:04You bought it late.
22:06Why?
22:07Of course, we waited for a bonus.
