00:00Good evening Kapuso! I am your Kuya Kim who will give you a trivia behind the trending news.
00:095 days before Christmas, did you display your villans?
00:13If not yet, you can be inspired by a villan in Batangas.
00:16It's not just a unique concept, there is also a deep meaning.
00:22In all the villans or activities that are displayed now in homes, markets and churches,
00:28this is what makes it special.
00:29Instead of being in a pool, Jose and Maria are in a pool in a well that is submerged in flood water.
00:34And because of the help of their villagers, the couple is still naked.
00:37While they are serving food to the hungry, those who received help.
00:41Maybe what we see here is that we need to help others, especially those who are in need.
00:46Villagers are helping even though they are having a hard time, they can't do it.
00:49But their hope for life is still there.
00:52This is one of the 3 villans that are displayed now in the National Shrine of St. Padre Pio in Santo Tomas, Batangas.
00:57According to the leadership of St. Padre Pio Shrine,
00:59the concept of their villan is inspired by the experiences of our fellow countrymen
01:03who were struck by the next strong typhoon this year.
01:06We still have fellow countrymen here in Laurel who were struck by the typhoon Christine
01:09that is still in evacuation.
01:11That's where the inspiration came from.
01:13From there, we developed the concept of how to make building simple.
01:17The villans are a group of employees who built just using recycled materials.
01:23It's very challenging not to look like garbage, but to portray the simplicity.
01:29And the message that their fellow countrymen came up with?
01:32In the midst of poverty, in the midst of calamities,
01:35God is always there to accompany us in our struggles.
01:39And secondly, it's a deep invitation to us to help our fellow countrymen.
01:47Brother Kim, do you want to know what I used to buy?
01:50Brother Kim, do you want to know?
01:52Brother Kim, do you want to know?
01:53Before the villan or nativity scene that we are displaying now became popular,
01:57there were old movies from the 4th century that showed the birth of Jesus.
02:02In Christmas of 1223, St. Francis of Assisi set up a pool that he filled with diamonds
02:08and he also put an ox and donkey to show the birth of Jesus.
02:11According to experts, this is probably the first live nativity scene in history.
02:17This spread quickly to different parts of Europe.
02:19In Italy, it's called Presepio.
02:21In France, it's called Rêche, which means crib or crib.
02:25In Spain, villans became popular in the 16th century
02:29until they introduced it to us in the Philippines.
02:31And did you know that there is a province that seems to be attached to their culture,
02:35the construction of villans.
02:36That's why they were called Villan Capital of the Philippines.
02:44The villan capital of the Philippines is the province of Tarlac.
02:47Here, the villanism is celebrated every year in the Tarlac Festival
02:51where the villagers are getting ready for the construction of the nativity scene.
02:55The province has a deep connection and love for the construction of villans.
02:59Maybe this is how they source the materials of their villans.
03:05Meanwhile, to find out the previous viral news,
03:07just post a comment.
03:08Hashtag Kuya Kim, what's next?
03:10Always remember, the important thing is to know.
03:13I am Kuya Kim and I will answer you in 24 hours.
03:17A group pioneered the design of a new money polymer
03:21that was released by the Central Bank
03:23where it is no longer villans, but animals and plants.
03:27The explanation of BSP in the speech of Jonathan Andal.
03:35It is no longer villans and leaders,
03:37but it is now animals that can be seen in the new money
03:41that will be released by the Central Bank of the Philippines.
03:43In the new 500 pesos, the ex-husband of former President Cory
03:47and former Senator Ninoy Aquino is no longer there
03:49and it was replaced by Visayan Spotted Deer.
03:51In the 100 pesos, the former President Manuel Rojas is no longer the tampok,
03:55but the Palawan Peacock Pheasant.
03:57And in the new 50 pesos,
03:59the former President Sergio Osmeña was replaced by Visayan Leopard Cat.
04:04The 1,000 pesos polymer banknote was first released in 2022
04:08where the World War II heroes
04:11Jose Fallianes Escoda, Jose Abad Santos, and Vicente Lim were released
04:15and was replaced by the Philippine Eagle.
04:17But the Atom Group or August 21 Movement collapsed
04:21which was established after the assassination of Ninoy Aquino on August 21, 1983.
04:25This is the first time in history
04:27that the villans of the Philippines are not included in the design of money.
04:31This is even more shocking in the new social bills
04:34that were released by the Martial Law
04:36but still have the faces of our villans and leaders.
04:38Within more than two decades,
04:40the family of the dictator is trying to change history
04:44and erase from our memories the villans who fought bravely for our freedom.
04:49The question of the group is,
04:51do we want a country without villans?
04:53And will they be forgotten?
04:56The GMA Integrated News is also trying to get the attention of Malacanang
04:59and the Marcos family about this.
05:01But the Central Bank said,
05:04For now, they will not leave
05:06and will not stop the making of bills
05:08that have the faces of villans and leaders.
05:10They just want to promote in our money
05:13the endangered species of animals and plants
05:16that can only be seen in the Philippines.
05:18It will co-circulate so our paperback notes
05:21featuring our Philippine heroes will still be there.
05:23Our task is really the same,
05:25which is important in our culture and in our history.
05:29And so, both are being honored and celebrated for our banknotes.
06:00Next, this has a feature for visually impaired people.
06:06If you touch the top of the 500-peso bill that is new,
06:10there are so-called tactile dots.
06:12So it depends on the denomination,
06:14how many dots you can touch on the top.
06:16For 500-peso bill, there are 4 dots.
06:18For 100-peso bill, there are 3 dots.
06:21For 50-peso bill, there are 2 dots.
06:23And for 1,000-peso bill, there are 5 dots.
06:27The texture of the animal is also different
06:30that is featured in each denomination bill.
06:33According to the Central Bank of the Philippines,
06:35these new coins made of polymer can be worn,
06:38can be sad, can be wet.
06:40But don't take it for granted.
06:42We went to the labor market in Manila
06:44and asked for the opinion of those who sell there
06:46who are always holding money.
06:48This is more favorable because even if it is wet,
06:50it is not itchy.
06:52This is not favorable for me because
06:54if your hand is wet, it sticks.
06:57It's not itchy.
06:59But a vendor accepted the ANEY Peking 1,000 polymer bill.
07:05From one buyer, only 3 days have passed.
07:08For the visually impaired, it's just a white dot.
07:12You can't write anything, it's not like this.
07:15You can feel it.
07:17Then the silver ones here in the plastic,
07:21there's no 1,000 here.
07:24Then the logo,
07:26the eagle, you can feel it.
07:29Here, it's not like it's laminated with plastic.
07:35We brought this to the Central Bank and their office
07:38to report the Peking Pera to the nearest bank
07:42or to the Central Bank itself for them to investigate.
07:45The BSP admitted that compared to paper money,
07:47the cost of polymer banknotes in Australia
07:50is cheaper because it can be used for a longer period of time.
07:53The BSP said that every 10 years,
07:55the standard of exchanging design of money is 2010
07:58since the release of the New Generation Banknote Series.
08:01Because of this, we want to be more advanced.
08:06For GMA Integrated News,
08:08Jonathan Andal, Nakatutok, 24 hours.
08:13School activities are over.
08:16School activities are over.
08:18The Tomasinos really deserve to enjoy
08:22their annual UST Paskuhan tonight.
08:26Mark Salazar will tell you what happened there live.
08:31Mark.
08:36Mel, we're here at the Paskuhan concert of the UST.
08:41This is the culmination.
08:44There's a lot of energy.
08:47Even though this is the culmination of their month-long Christmas celebration,
08:52this is a tradition that the UST has been doing since 1991.
09:03The UST members really know how to throw a party.
09:07The more energy on stage, the more the audience's energy.
09:11It's the most anticipated event of the year for the Tomasinos.
09:16Different OPM acts are lined up for the concert,
09:19like Sponge Cola, P-POP group Alamat, and singer Mackie.
09:24There are also booths that include carnival games
09:28as gifts for the students.
09:31Food is also free for the UST students
09:34since it's a very special event,
09:36that's why the students are preparing for it.
09:38They're also rewarding themselves for the successful
09:41one-month outreach programs of the Tomasinos in their community,
09:46like their Paskuhan community gift-giving project
09:49that is distributed to the neighbors, community police, and traffic enforcers.
09:55The UST is not lacking because of Paskuhan.
09:58UST is not UST without Paskuhan.
10:09Mel, this Paskuhan concert started at 3 p.m.
10:12but you saw the energy of the Tomasinos community.
10:16It's sustained.
10:17This event will only end at 9 p.m.
10:23on an engranding fireworks display.
10:26Merry Christmas, Tomasinos!
10:28Merry Christmas!
10:31Mel, it's your turn.
10:34And Merry Christmas to you too!
10:36And Merry Christmas to all of you in the UST!
10:40Thank you so much, Mark Salazar!

14:07Thank you so much, Aubrey Carampel.
14:10Heavy traffic is what some motorists and commuters
14:13are experiencing in some parts of Metro Manila.
14:15It's the last weekend before Christmas,
14:17so many people are rushing to do Christmas shopping.
14:20Reporting live from Ortigas, I'm Raffy Tima.
14:23Raffy!
14:27Emil, for those of you who are dreaming,
14:29for those of you who are waiting,
14:31I'll show you where they might have arrived.
14:35From Himpapawid, this is what EDSA Northbound looks like
14:40tonight.
14:41It's very red because of the long line
14:45of vehicles that are rushing.
14:48It's almost from Makati to North EDSA in Quezon City.
14:53Even though Ortigas has a flyover,
14:55there's also traffic going towards Pasig and Antipolo.
14:59The reason, according to MMDA,
15:02is the simultaneous volume of vehicles
15:04coming from workplaces and malls.
15:06In EDSA, for example,
15:08the small road that comes from Ortigas
15:10and ends up in EDSA,
15:12you can see in this drone video
15:14how there are choke points in these areas.
15:16According to this, the result is that
15:18the wide EDSA is closing
15:20because of the rush of vehicles.
15:22The security guards of the malls
15:24are even stopping the road of the vehicles in EDSA
15:28so that the vehicles of their parochial workers can get out.
15:33In Guadalupe,
15:34it's just yesterday that the vehicles
15:37in the Northbound lane were heavy and almost non-moving.
15:40Even motorcycles can't get close
15:42to the heavy rush of vehicles.
15:45According to MMDA,
15:46they are not stopping the mall security
15:48to help with the heavy traffic,
15:50but it is still a priority
15:52for the road of the vehicles in EDSA.
15:54We are still waiting for the reaction
15:56of the mall's leadership.
15:58The heavy traffic is a calamity for everyone.
16:00One of the taxi drivers I talked to
16:02said that if there are no passengers,
16:04he will choose to pull over
16:06instead of wasting gasoline in EDSA.
16:08Here is the agreement of those I talked to
16:10who were caught in the heavy traffic.
16:15Is there a loss in the trip?
16:16Yes, there is a loss, sir.
16:17We can't see anything.
16:19We can't do anything.
16:20The government hasn't solved it yet.
16:22It's okay because there are more passengers.
16:24However, the traffic is slow.
16:34According to MMDA,
16:35it's still bad to use the busy lanes
16:37because it's still effective.
16:39But the problem is,
16:41many of our motorists
16:43will still go out to the main roads
16:46like EDSA.
16:47That's why it's hard to avoid
16:49the heavy rush hour traffic
16:51this Christmas.
16:53Emil, thank you very much.
16:55Rafi Tiba.
16:58The viewers are looking forward
17:00to strong action and drama scenes
