00:13President Marcos is set to sign the 2025 national budget before the new year.

00:17Actor Alec Baldwin's manslaughter case has been dropped.

00:21Alleged UnitedHealthcare CEO shooter Luigi Mangione pleads not guilty to murder and terrorism

00:26charges.

00:28And Filipino jet ski prodigy Anton Ignacio wins the overall title in a category in the

00:32World Grand Prix No. 1 Waterjet World Series.

00:55President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. is set to sign the 2025 national budget on Monday, December

00:5930.

01:00Marcos was set to sign it on December 20, but said he needed more time for a rigorous

01:04and exhaustive review.

01:06The Senate and House-approved 2025 national budget has drawn criticism for its cuts and

01:11continued allotment for items deemed as pork barrel.

01:14The Education Department would suffer over a P10 billion budget cut for its computerization

01:18program in 2025, and the state-run PhilHealth will receive zero subsidy.

01:23Marcos earlier said he was working to restore what Depp had asked for, but it's unclear

01:27if Marcos would tweak PhilHealth's subsidy.

01:30Budget watchers say the zero subsidy for PhilHealth will violate the Sin Tax Law, which allocates

01:34excise tax collections for the implementation of the Universal Healthcare Act.

01:41A New Mexico prosecutor drops the appeal for actor Alec Baldwin's dismissed involuntary

01:45manslaughter charges stemming from a fatal shooting on the set of his movie Rust.

01:50Baldwin's lawyers say this is his final vindication.

01:53Cinematographer Helena Hutchins died when Baldwin pointed a gun at her as they set up

01:57a shot on the film Rust in 2021.

02:00The gun fired a live round inadvertently loaded by the movie's chief weapons handler, Hannah

02:04Gutierrez.

02:05Gutierrez was convicted of involuntary manslaughter in March.

02:09Baldwin denied pulling the trigger, but firearms experts found the gun would not fire without

02:13anyone pulling the trigger.

02:15Historian Alan Rhodes says, it is the first on-set fatal shooting with a live round mistaken

02:20for a blank since Hollywood's silent era.

02:24Luigi Mangione, the man accused of fatally gunning down UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson,

02:30pleads not guilty to New York State murder charges.

02:33The 11-count indictment includes murder as an act of terrorism.

02:37If convicted, he faces a maximum sentence of life in prison without the possibility

02:41of parole.

02:42Mangione, 26, was arrested in Pennsylvania five days after the brazen pre-dawn December

02:484 killing outside Thompson's hotel in Manhattan.

02:51Mangione also faces a four-count federal criminal complaint charging him with stalking and killing

02:56Thompson, which would make him eligible for the death penalty.

03:00Protesters outside the courthouse expressed support for Mangione and anger at healthcare

03:04companies.

03:05One person holds a sign saying, Deny, Defend, Depose, the words police say were found etched

03:11on shell casings at the crime scene.

03:13The words refer to tactics said to be used by insurers to avoid paying out claims.

03:18Mangione has been fettered as a folk hero by some Americans who decry the steep cost

03:22of healthcare.

03:25Filipino jet ski prodigy Anton Ignacio wins the overall title in the Expert Roundabout

03:301100 Stock category of the World Grand Prix No. 1 Waterjet World Series.

03:35The 18-year-old Ignacio garnered a total of 159 points in three competitions in Poland,

03:41the United States, and Thailand to top the category.

03:44Ignacio outscored Germany's Nies Wittling and Cambodia's Felin Sali en route to the

03:48overall crown.

03:50He says, Those are the kinds of competitions that I need to prove myself."

03:54Ignacio now looks ahead to the 2025 Southeast Asian Games in Thailand, where he will gun

03:58for the gold medal after missing out on a podium finish in Cambodia in 2023.
