01:01President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. signs the P6.326 trillion national budget for 2025 on

01:07December 30, after a weeklong delay to regain control over government spending. The approved

01:13budget is lower than the initially proposed P6.352 trillion as Marcos vetoed P194 billion

01:20in line items deemed inconsistent with the administration's priorities. In his speech,

01:25Marcos says that the administration carefully reviewed the budget, listening to public concerns

01:30and addressing items not aligned with the country's development plans. Among the vetoed

01:35items were P26.065 billion for the Department of Public Works and Highways and P168.240

01:43billion under unprogrammed appropriation. Meanwhile, the education sector receives the

01:48largest allocation with P1.059 trillion, followed by the DPWH with P1.0079 trillion.

01:58Marcos also announces conditional implementation for certain programs, including the Ayuda

02:02sa Kapos ng Kita program or AKAP, a cash aid program for middle-class workers. This

02:08is to ensure that the programs are carried out in accordance with the intended purpose.

02:14Experts say uncertainty surround the deadliest crash on South Korean soil, questioning the

02:19initial theory that a bird strike might have brought down Jeju Air Flight 7C-2216. On Saturday,

02:26December 28, in the span of a few minutes, the Muan Control Tower issued a bird strike

02:31warning. The plane's pilots declared mayday and then attempted to land from the opposite

02:35direction. The aircraft skidded down the runway with no visible landing gear before slamming

02:41into a wall in an explosion of flame and debris. 179 of 181 people on board were killed. But

02:48it was not clear whether the aircraft had hit any birds. The crash is a huge challenge

02:53for South Korea's acting President Choi Sang-mok, who had been on the job less than 48 hours

02:58when he arrived at the crash site. Behind the scenes, government offices were still

03:02figuring out the chain of command. Choi became acting leader on Friday night, December 27,

03:08after the impeachment of Prime Minister Han Duk-soo, who replaced impeached President

03:27U.S. President in January 1977. Carter later gained recognition as a dedicated humanitarian

03:33and was awarded the 2002 Nobel Peace Prize. United States President Joe Biden declares

03:39January 9 a National Day of Mourning. World leaders and former U.S. presidents honor him

03:44as a compassionate, humble individual dedicated to peace in the Middle East. In recent years,

04:19actress wins the award for her portrayal of Monette in the horror film Espantajo, directed

04:24by Chito S. Roño. Meanwhile, MMFF spokesperson Noel Ferrer addresses criticism of some winners

04:30and the snubbing of certain nominees. He clarifies that the jury's decisions were made after

04:35a thorough deliberation, with no leaks and only the jury chair and executive director

04:40knowing the results. There was additional backlash over the treatment of Eugene Domingo,

04:45who was not nominated and was included in a tribute montage honoring deceased actors.

04:50Ferrer clarifies that the video was a tribute to both living and dead MMFF luminaries, noting

04:56other living actors included in the tribute like Joseph Estrada and Vilma Santos.
