NewsTranscript
00:00Live from the GMA Network Center,
00:0520 years have passed, 24 hours.
00:11It's the last day of 2024 and our hearts are ready
00:17to welcome the new year.
00:20The whole force of GMA Integrated News
00:24is here in their main hospital to greet the new year.
00:27We are also here in Tilagriang, Paputok, the capital of the Philippines.
00:31We will also celebrate the celebrations of the new year
00:35with the long-awaited Kapuso Countdown to 2025 in MOA.
00:41Good evening, Luzon, Visayas, and Mindanao.
00:44It's been less than 6 hours since the new year began,
00:48but by now, there are more victims of COVID-19
00:52compared to the last time we met.
00:54Hospitals are now ready for those who will be infected
00:57and for those who have other common diseases.
01:02For example, high blood pressure from the Tondo Medical Center.
01:06This is Sandra Aguinaldo, Sandra.
01:12Vicky Emil, in the latest DOH report,
01:15the total number of firecracker-related injuries
01:19has reached 188 since December 22.
01:23We visited several hospitals
01:26and found that not only the victims of the firecrackers
01:29are being prepared.
01:35The number of firecrackers reported
01:38by the East Avenue Medical Center
01:40has not changed since December 21.
01:44Last year, the number was 300 percent higher
01:47when only three were reported.
01:49One of the victims was a 61-year-old woman
01:52who had a second-degree burn on December 29.
01:56The victim was making a whistle-bomb
02:00when it suddenly went off.
02:02One thing that was noticed by the AAMC...
02:05We've seen more cases of children this year
02:09compared to last year,
02:11maybe because of the access of children to the firecrackers.
02:16It's one of the things that should be monitored.
02:19That's why they were caught.
02:21The AAMC is ready with the necessary equipment
02:25if there is a firecracker explosion in the hand
02:28and other parts of the body.
02:30After cleaning, we need to remove the flesh
02:34or the small bones.
02:36We can use these instruments,
02:38the ronjur or the culet instruments.
02:42We also have external fixators.
02:46We put these on the bones
02:49so that the bones can be aligned.
02:54To apply the external fixator,
02:56we will use these drills.
02:58Currently, there are 17 firecracker-related injuries in the hospital.
03:05But the hospital reminds us
03:07that there are also many cases of high blood pressure,
03:10stroke, heart attack, and others during this time.
03:13Maybe it's because of the excessive consumption of prohibited foods.
03:18That's why my advice is to do everything in moderation.
03:21It's our health that we should prioritize.
03:24At the Tondo Medical Center,
03:26there are seven firecrackers victims since December 21
03:30and it is expected that there will be more in the new year.
03:34The number of victims of illegal firecrackers is high,
03:37including King Kong, Five Star, and Boga.
03:40The patient who was hit by the Boga
03:42suffered two cuts and bruises.
03:44According to the DOH, as of 6 a.m. this morning,
03:48188 firecracker-related injuries were reported.
03:5252% more than in 2023,
03:56where 124 cases were reported.
03:59But aside from that,
04:00the Tondo Medical Center also received patients who were in accidents
04:04and were hit by bullets.
04:06Many of them were drunk.
04:08There are also many alcohol-related injuries.
04:12There were vehicular accidents.
04:14Sadly, we have many gunshot injuries.
04:20Almost all are alcohol intoxication-related.
04:31Emil, this is the one behind me.
04:33It's close to the ER,
04:35but it's intended for the victims of firecrackers.
04:40From where I am standing,
04:42we heard that many people are getting shot outside the compound of the hospital.
04:48The doctors' advice is,
04:49first, avoid getting shot,
04:51but if you are a victim,
04:53don't self-medicate and go to the hospital immediately.
04:57That's the last message from Tondo, Emil.
05:00Thank you very much, Sandra Aguinaldo.
05:03For those who have a gun,
05:05don't use it as a part of the celebration of the new year.
05:10Guns are extremely dangerous
05:12because if you fire,
05:14you may get injured
05:16or even killed by unarmed enemies.
05:20Jun Veneracion reported.
05:25A gunshot wound was found on the roof of this house,
05:28in Tukuran, Sambuanga, Dalsur.
05:31A member of CAFGU was injured.
05:34This is one of the four stray bullet incidents
05:36reported by the PNP throughout the country since December 16.
05:40It is still being investigated if the gunshot wound was caused by illegal bullets.
05:44Four people were injured in the indiscriminate discharge of firearms throughout the country until today,
05:50while 13 were arrested, including a police officer.
05:54We urge our police officers
05:56not to use their service firearms during celebrations.
06:01Their attention should be focused on performing their duties.
06:05The Firearms Identification Division of the Forensic Group of the PNP
06:10is the main investigator in the incidents of illegal bullets.
06:13This is where the recovered evidence is sent for forensic examination.
06:18If a person has a fingerprint,
06:21the same goes for a bullet.
06:23If a gun is fired,
06:24a different mark will be left on the bullet.
06:28These are the imperfections,
06:30these are our bases for identification.
06:33Even though these are the same model, the same caliber,
06:37but when it comes to the individual characteristics
06:40or the mechanical fingerprints of the firearms, they are different.
06:43The Forensic Group has already received many cases of suspected incidents of illegal bullets
06:48with the help of their Ballistics Identification System.
06:52Even in the absence of eyewitness,
06:54this can stand in court, sir.
06:57This is where the scientific examination that we are conducting is conducted.
07:03The Forensic Group warns those who will use firearms,
07:06especially during the New Year celebrations,
07:08to stop using them
07:10because there is a new way for you to be protected.
07:14It's time for you to put away your guns.
07:17For GMA Integrated News,
07:19June Veneration, 24 Hours.
07:23In celebration of the new year of being together,
07:26but the lives of the five children who will be separated in Tondo, Manila,
07:31after being imprisoned in their burnt house,
07:33only their grandparents are with the victims
07:36because their parents were busy selling in the market
07:40when the incident happened.
07:42Bam Alegre is on the scene.
07:48This is the intensity of the fire in Ikalawa
07:50and the three floors of this residential property in Barangay 97, Tondo, Manila
07:55were burned last night.
07:57The Bureau of Fire Protection raised the second alarm
08:00to respond to the fire that was going down the wall of the fire truck.
08:03The area is narrow, so it was difficult for the firefighters to move.
08:07The fire started on the second floor of the three-story building.
08:13We have three families who are affected.
08:16They are siblings.
08:18Our estimated damage is more or less P150,000.
08:24The fire was controlled last night at 11 p.m.
08:27But the tragedy happened.
08:29The five children who will be separated in their burnt house were killed.
08:33The fire was completely extinguished at 11.25 p.m.
08:36The grandparents of the children who were with them were very worried
08:39that the fire would happen.
08:41When I opened the door, it was locked.
08:43I tried to open it.
08:46When I opened it, the fire and smoke came to me.
08:52This is where I went.
08:55I couldn't find my grandchildren.
08:57I couldn't find them.
09:00They are gone.
09:01Gone.
09:04This morning, this is what was left in the property.
09:07The Bureau of Fire Protection will start an investigation
09:10into the cause of the fire and the spread of the fire.
09:14We gathered information from the direct witnesses.
09:21Lately, we will go and gather ashes, debris, and electrical wirings
09:27for a laboratory examination.
09:30Three families were affected by the fire.
09:32The BFP's investigation into the incident continues.
09:35For GMA Integrated News, I'm Bam Alegre.
09:38It's been 24 hours since the fire broke out.
09:45It's noisy in this part of Barangay Tatalon in Quezon City
09:48where we visited earlier.
09:50It's like a new year greeting here in Caliraya in Barangay Tatalon
09:54because it's still early in the morning,
09:55but there's already a lot of noise and there's already a fire.
09:59Despite our arrival, there was a fire in Boga.
10:04It's okay because they are strong and brave.
10:07No.
10:09No.
10:12I know how to use it.
10:13This type of fire is the target of the barangay.
10:16When they went around earlier in the morning,
10:18there were more complaints from the barangay.
10:22We anticipated that after Christmas, there will be a fire in Boga.
10:26So you have a plan?
10:28Yes, ma'am.
10:29And then we took action.
10:30We went around.
10:31What kind of complaints did you receive?
10:32They were insisting that there will be a fire in Boga.
10:35There were pellet guns and other types of bombs
10:38which were the main complaint of some residents.
10:41This is just one of the bombs that were fired by the barangay officials
10:44of Barangay Tatalon during the operation earlier
10:47against the illegal bombings, especially these bombs.
10:50Wow.
10:51I just saw such a big bomb.
10:53And here, Cap, it's this big.
10:56Can you imagine how strong its effect will be?
10:59Yes.
11:00Especially if it hits our neighbors in Barangay Tatalon.
11:04It's very likely that during the war,
11:06it will destroy your house if it hits it.
11:08It's so big.
11:10But even the lights were extinguished.
11:12Our city also prohibits it.
11:15Although there is only a designated area here in Barangay Tatalon.
11:18Especially in our area, there are a lot of depressed areas.
11:21There are a lot of light materials.
11:23Of course, if there are light materials, it will cause a fire.
11:27It can easily cause a fire.
11:29If it's finished, there will be a fire.
11:31Ambulances are ready in the barangay in case there is a disaster in the bombings.
11:36But the best way to avoid the bombings
11:39is to be safe and happy during the new year.
11:42For GMA Integrated News, Marisol Abduraman,
11:47Nakatuto 24 Hours.
11:51The store in some stores in Fireworks Capital, Basa is already sold out.
11:55There are a lot of people who are buying it.
11:57Until now, it's a new year's eve.
11:59Nakatuto gone live, Ian Cruz. Ian.
12:06Emil, it's been more than 5 hours and it's already 2025.
12:09But until now, there are still people who are chasing to buy fireworks here in Bukaway, Bulacan.
12:15And if we compare it to the past 100 years,
12:18there are more people who bought fireworks for Salubong 2025.
12:24It's a new year's eve.
12:26And here in Turobo, Kawe, Bulacan,
12:28there are still no people who are coming to buy fireworks.
12:32Only friends and family are coming.
12:35Others are just buying light.
12:38The cost is already Php 10,000.
12:41That's already one lechon. Why do you want more?
12:44This is what we are used to, sir.
12:46So that the kids can see the beauty of fireworks.
12:51Be careful always.
12:53According to the sellers, since December 27, the number of people started to decrease.
12:57That's why there are a lot of stores that are open 24 hours a day.
13:01There are police officers who are going around the place.
13:04According to the fireworks dealer we talked to,
13:07they earn more this year.
13:09Of course, because there are a lot of people,
13:11although the fireworks they are buying are not that big.
13:14Although the fireworks they are buying are not that big,
13:17the bulk of the people, that's the reason why our sales are big this year.
13:22Other stores are already closed early in the morning
13:25because the store is sold out.
13:27But because it's only a few hours before the new year,
13:30others feel that the price of fireworks and light is higher
13:34than in Salubong during the New Year.
13:37Like Nino, who is from Santa Mesa, Manila.
13:40The price of the fireworks they are buying is increasing.
13:43Maybe last year, it was only Php 2,000.
13:47Now, it's almost Php 4,000.
13:49It's all for lighting.
13:51Why is the price so high?
13:53They said that the supply is not enough.
13:56That's why they are increasing now.
13:58Others from Bukawe Fireworks Complex near Bukawe and Lex Interchange
14:03are also willing to buy fireworks in Luwasan, Turok
14:06to find a cheaper store.
14:09But when it comes to that...
14:10Do you have any quites?
14:11None.
14:12It's all sold out.
14:14The locals are the first ones to run out.
14:17Because there are so many people who are buying,
14:19the number of cars on Governor Fortunato Halili Avenue is also decreasing,
14:23especially towards MacArthur Highway.
14:26Other stores are also closed early in the morning.
14:30There are a lot of people, but they can't sell anymore
14:33because the stocks are not enough.
14:35They don't think that people will get sick during Christmas.
14:39I hope that there will be a lot of stocks.
14:41But I haven't been able to stock a lot.
14:43Because the prices are going down,
14:46of course, it's hard to buy.
14:49Past 3 p.m.,
14:51there are still deliveries of quites to the stores
14:54that are running out.
14:56At the same time,
14:57Bukawe Toll Plaza is also building up
15:00towards Governor Halili Avenue
15:03because there are a lot of cars going to buy fireworks and lights.
15:10Emil, the authorities will continue to remind those who bought fireworks and lights
15:15to follow the safety tips
15:17and to send them to the designated areas in their areas.
15:23From here in Bukawe, Bulacan,
15:25we wish you a Happy New Year.
15:27Back to you, Emil.
15:28Blessed New Year.
15:29Thank you very much.
15:30Ian Cruz.
15:32All day long,
15:33the families of those who are in a rush to buy midnight snacks
15:38are in a rush to buy midnight snacks.
15:39The usual preparations,
15:41including selling Buko salad,
15:44are expensive.
15:46That's what Darlene Kai is talking about.
15:52All day long,
15:53the line at the Bukurito store in Trabajo Market in Manila is not gone.
15:57Because there are a lot of buyers
15:59who are in a rush to buy midnight snacks.
16:04Every year,
16:05we sell Buko salad.
16:08It's already cooked so it's sweet.
16:10Almost 2,000 pieces of Buko
16:12were sold out by Rosalie's store today.
16:15That's double the price of Buko.
16:18Because of the recent typhoon,
16:21the number of buyers is high.
16:24It's okay.
16:25What can we do?
16:26It's really expensive, right?
16:27It's necessary.
16:28We only bought 2 pieces
16:29to make money.
16:31Before?
16:32Before, there were a lot.
16:33About 5 or 6.
16:34The price of sugar and salt also increased by 5 to 10 pesos per kilo.
16:38But even if it's more expensive,
16:40rock salt is running out in some stores here.
16:43This is also used for luck,
16:45as well as for flavoring the preparations.
16:47We are looking for rock salt,
16:48but it's already out of stock.
16:50The only thing we have is iodized.
16:54They are selling laurel leaves.
16:57They are looking for whole laurels.
17:01Pork is also expensive now.
17:03The buyers are already overpriced.
17:07That's why Joanne's discount
17:09is reduced in the middle of the night.
17:12The amount that our family needs to consume
17:16is what I need to buy.
17:19Before, it was a little less expensive.
17:22There were some excess that we didn't need.
17:28But now, we don't need anymore.
17:31Vendors like Irma feel that way.
17:33She only bought 14 pieces of pork
17:35to sell instead of the usual 18.
17:38It's a little less expensive now
17:41compared to the past.
17:43Buying is not that expensive anymore.
17:46I don't know.
17:47Maybe some people are not ready.
17:48They are just on vacation.
17:49Buying is also expensive.
17:51Chicken is more expensive.
17:53Some people already buy it.
17:54That's why the price is lower now.
17:56Maybe it's because some people believe
17:58that they can afford it.
18:00The price of eggs is also reduced
18:02by P10 per tree.
18:03Many people are buying it
18:05to make it a lucky charm
18:06for the new year.
18:07Fruits are expensive.
18:09So, they depend on eggs.
18:12We need to have eggs in the table.
18:15There's a saying that
18:16it's good for our health.
18:18Many people are buying
18:20Ube Halaya, Biko, Puto, and Leche Flan.
18:24It's good for the family.
18:27No matter how much or how little
18:30you eat,
18:31the most important thing is
18:33the happy and togetherness
18:36of the family in 2025.
18:39For GMA Integrated News,
18:41Darlene Kaye,
18:42for 24 Hours.
18:45The division of last-minute shopping
18:47has fallen again.
18:49But aside from the usual shops
18:51that sell fruits and sounds,
18:53there are some illegal shops
18:55that sell fireworks.
18:57Here's Maki Polito.
19:01Hey, it should be 50.
19:0350.
19:05Sister, brother, 50.
19:07It's close.
19:09It's here. It's close.
19:10You'll be fooled
19:12if there are fruits
19:13that have already fallen in price.
19:15Because they say
19:16they're running out of food,
19:18there are places here
19:19that have already fallen in price.
19:22Like here.
19:23They used to sell grapes
19:25for Php 180.
19:28But now,
19:29it's only Php 100 per kilo.
19:32Be careful.
19:33You'll be fooled.
19:35This place has fallen
19:36and in just a few seconds,
19:38the shop is gone.
19:39How about the apples and kiat-kiat?
19:42It used to be Php 50.
19:43Now, it's only Php 30.
19:44Php 4,100.
19:47Php 4,100.
19:49I'm going home.
19:50But this place won't be fooled
19:52if the price falls.
19:54How much are you holding?
19:55Php 1,000.
19:56That's all?
19:57Yes.
19:58Why Php 1,000?
19:59We want to sell out, ma'am.
20:01Instead of rotting.
20:03We want to sell out, ma'am.
20:05That's why we want to sell out.
20:07Even if it's cheap and cheap,
20:09the last-minute shoppers
20:10in Divisoria insist on it.
20:12They just have to buy it.
20:14We compare their prices
20:17to where it's cheaper.
20:19That's where we're at.
20:20Those who believe in fortune-telling
20:22are sold.
20:24But they say,
20:25that's not the only thing
20:26that brings luck in life.
20:27If you don't work hard,
20:30you really don't have money.
20:32There are also those who,
20:33aside from lighting,
20:34also sell fireworks
20:36like Sawa and Five Star.
20:38Where did these fireworks come from?
20:40They're flowers.
20:41It's already on display
20:42for the buyers to see.
20:44It's not easy to sell
20:45if other people can't see it.
20:47Tomorrow, of course,
20:48it's already a dollar.
20:49It won't be your money anymore.
20:52While many are anxious
20:53to buy,
20:55the number of fireworks
20:56in Divisoria is increasing.
20:58We're still asking for a permit
21:00from the Manila Police District
21:01in this area.
21:02A few years of remembrance
21:03of fireworks
21:05is also a reminder for this child
21:06who sells torotot.
21:09It's fun
21:10so that people
21:11in the fireworks
21:12won't get hurt.
21:14Said's torotot seller
21:15is running out of torotot.
21:16His customer said,
21:17It's dangerous
21:18if you let it explode.
21:19You might cut your hand.
21:21Listen to that long signal
21:23so that the doors
21:25of the new year will be fully opened.
