00:00The electric vehicle was parked outside the hotel when it suddenly exploded.

00:09It happened at the Trump International Hotel in Las Vegas, Nevada, in America.

00:14The driver, who was inside the vehicle at that time, was killed while there were seven wounds near the area.

00:20Based on the investigation, it is possible that the driver, who was a soldier of the U.S. Army, died

00:26before the explosion because the bullet hit his face.

00:31It is also possible that the vehicle was planted by a bomb that was rented in Colorado.

00:36The Federal Bureau of Investigation or FBI is still investigating if this is considered an act of terrorism.

00:44It is possible that there are four impeachment complaints that will be filed against Vice President Sara Duterte next week.

00:51According to the House Secretary General Reginald Velasco,

00:53several congressmen were asked to wait for the fourth complaint

00:57before he went to the office of the House Speaker the first three.

01:00The office of Velasco is still verifying the three impeachment complaints that were filed last December.

01:06The origin of the impeachment complaints is the violation of the confidential funds of the Office of the Vice President

01:12and the Department of Education where VP Duterte used to work.

01:16The GMI Integrated News is trying to get a new statement from the Vice President

01:21but he used to say that there is nothing wrong with spending on confidential funds

01:25and that he is ready to face the impeachment complaints.

01:32It's a beautiful day, right?

01:35Yes, it's beautiful.

01:36Together with Kapuso Siris, who were meant to be in 2017,

01:41Nobar B. Forteza and Jack Roberto.

01:44Even though they are not the endgame of the series,

01:47they are like those who are meant to be off-screen.

01:50Jack B's on-screen chemistry became real life.

01:55The passing of the year became a witness

01:58and different encounters in their relationship goals.

02:02I feel like he is my lucky charm

02:05because ever since we became a couple,

02:11my good opportunities continued.

02:16They are very supportive of each other's achievements.

02:21I even messaged them and congratulated them.

02:24They were the ones who suddenly skyrocketed.

02:27I support them.

02:29They also talked about getting married.

02:33Have you talked about getting married?

02:35Yes.

02:37When I have a house.

02:39But like other relationships,

02:41they also faced challenges.

02:44What was the most challenging?

02:46If there was any.

02:48Quality time.

02:50This December, they celebrated Jack's birthday together.

02:56But in an Instagram post,

02:59Barbie confirmed Jack's breakup.

03:03The message was bittersweet.

03:05Barbie said,

03:07their 7-year relationship is full of happiness, love, and romance.

03:13She also called Jack's love exceptional.

03:18But there are things that need to be done

03:22to give way to good things.

03:25Barbie thanked Jack

03:28and said,

03:29may you find the love you deserve.

03:31She asked the public to understand their situation.

03:36Jack did not respond.

03:46Super Election Year 2025

03:52Comelec is calling for a super election year 2025

03:56because of the three elections in the country.

03:59And regarding the preparations,

04:01we will talk to Comelec Chairman George Erwin Garcia.

04:04Good morning and welcome to Balitang Hali.

04:07Good morning, Ma'am Connie.

04:09And to our fellow countrymen,

04:10good morning and happy new year.

04:12Happy new year to you too, sir.

04:14Comelec is preparing three election events for this year.

04:18How are your preparations?

04:21Ma'am Connie, we still have a lot to do

04:25because we still have a lot to do regarding our preparations.

04:30But the good thing is,

04:32last December, we reached 110,000 machines.

04:36Actually, that was a month early.

04:39And now, we are testing it.

04:42We are testing it in all the barangays across the country

04:45because this will last until January 30.

04:48So more or less,

04:50we are also doing the testing of international entities

04:54at the moment.

04:56And later on, we will finalize the list of voters.

05:00Yes, sir.

05:01And we heard that even the repair of our broken counting machines

05:08has already been placed in different places

05:12so that it will not be transported if there are damages.

05:15Is that right?

05:16That's right, Ma'am Connie.

05:17In the first place,

05:19in the history of our automated election system,

05:23we have 110 repair hubs across the country.

05:27So in every province,

05:29and here in Metro Manila,

05:31in every city,

05:32there are repair hubs

05:36where if there is a problem with the machines or USB,

05:41it will automatically be brought to those repair hubs.

05:45Unlike before,

05:46even if it was damaged in a faraway province,

05:49it will still be brought to Santa Rosa,

05:51our repair hub.

05:53So this is already spread across the country.

05:55And in our testing now,

05:58among the candidates,

06:00did they disqualify?

06:03And to what extent can this still be disqualified?

06:06There are less than 300 who were disqualified by the Comelec,

06:10including all the nuisance candidates,

06:13national and local.

06:14You know, Ma'am Connie,

06:15we are proud that for the first time in the history of our election system,

06:20here in our country,

06:21we no longer have pending nuisance cases in the Comelec.

06:25This means that all nuisance cases have been resolved

06:29up to the level of the NBank.

06:32And therefore,

06:33we are sure that there will be no confusion

06:36or confusion that can be included in the ballot

06:38unless we issue a temporary restraining order

06:41by the Supreme Court.

06:43But the so-called nuisance candidates,

06:46is that not allowed?

06:48Because whenever there is an election,

06:50they also look familiar,

06:52right?

06:53Sometimes they still run, right?

06:55Isn't that if you declare them as nuisance candidates,

06:59will they still be able to run in the next elections?

07:01That's why, Ma'am Connie,

07:03that's our proposal to our Congress,

07:05if it's possible,

07:06to make them criminals.

07:07Make sure,

07:08because once we declare them,

07:10what will happen is,

07:11Ma'am Connie,

07:12they will run and run.

07:13The others,

07:14they sell their running,

07:15they pay,

07:16and the others,

07:17they just threaten the candidate

07:19and they even pay the opponents.

07:21So in our opinion,

07:22to stop this,

07:23we should impose a higher penalty

07:28or even a higher fine

07:31so that we can discourage the others

07:34to run even though they are being declared

07:37as nuisance candidates.

07:38And also,

07:39so that it won't be hard for the Comelec,

07:41they should be disqualified again and again,

07:43isn't that right?

07:44A waste of time and effort on your part.

07:46That's right.

07:47Because if Ma'am Connie makes that decision,

07:49it will take a long time.

07:50Yes, sir.

07:51And of course,

07:52they hire lawyers

07:54or they force them to hire lawyers.

07:56They also have expenses on their part.

07:57All right.

07:58President Bongbong Marcos has already

08:00ordered the decision

08:01to continue the first-ever BARMM elections.

08:04What can you say about that?

08:07We are attending the hearings

08:09of the Senate and the House of Representatives.

08:11You're right, Ma'am Connie,

08:12the House of Representatives said

08:14that the Moro Parliamentary Election

08:16is postponed.

08:17But the Senate,

08:18until now,

08:19has not taken any corresponding action

08:21on that matter.

08:22They held hearings,

08:25but they have not yet approved

08:27the proposed law

08:28on the postponement of elections.

08:30As for us, Ma'am Connie,

08:31we will prepare for that,

08:33whether it will continue or not.

08:34Because it's hard to go back to the streets,

08:36especially if this is just a proposed law.

08:38All right.

08:39Thank you very much

08:40for your updates

08:41on our news this afternoon, sir.

08:44Thank you very much, Ma'am Connie.

08:45Long live.

08:46Happy New Year.

08:47Happy New Year as well.

08:48This is Cominec Chairman

08:50George Erwin Garcia.

08:52We hope that today,

08:53the number of passengers

08:54will reach more than 100,000

08:55in Paranaque Integrated Terminal Exchange

08:57this first weekend of the year.

08:59Our first guest on the spot

09:00is Oscar Oida.

09:02Oscar.

09:05Yes, Raffy,

09:06in these moments,

09:07we are here at the entrance

09:08of Paranaque Integrated Terminal Exchange

09:10or PITX,

09:11where we can see

09:12that the number of passengers

09:13is still increasing.

09:15To be honest,

09:16the line is a bit slow,

09:17but there are chances

09:19that the line reaches

09:20outside the terminal.

09:22Raffy,

09:23as of 11 a.m.,

09:25the number of passengers

09:26has reached 64,000

09:29or more

09:30who are arriving

09:32or traveling

09:33here in Paranaque Integrated

09:34Terminal Exchange.

09:35And the reason is

09:36that PITX continues

09:38to monitor

09:39the terminal security

09:41here at the entrance

09:42to make sure

09:43that no contraband

09:44can enter.

09:45It's also a bit tight

09:46in these moments

09:47in the waiting area.

09:49But if we compare

09:50the past few days,

09:51particularly before Christmas,

09:53the line is no longer

09:54a blockbuster

09:56for ticket booths.

09:58For now,

09:59it's not that difficult

10:01to get tickets.

10:03We talked to the people there

10:04and according to them,

10:05most of the passengers

10:07are from the provinces,

10:09just like the provinces

10:10in Bicol.

10:11Meanwhile,

10:12PITX is hoping

10:13that the number of passengers

10:14can reach

10:15up to 170,000

10:17today.

10:19The majority of the passengers

10:20are expected to arrive

10:21this weekend

10:22until Monday.

10:24Raffy?

10:25Thank you very much,

10:26Oscar Oida.
