00:00The whole world is ready for the New Year celebration of 2025, but do you know where and who will be the first and last to celebrate the New Year?
00:14Brother Kim, what's next?
00:21Is everyone excited to jump and shout for the celebration of 2025?
00:25But wait, there are still 4 hours before the New Year arrives here in the Philippines.
00:30If we are still waiting.
00:32Did you know that Keresma Island in the Republic of Kiribati,
00:35was visited until 6 o'clock last night here in the Philippines?
00:39That's why Keresma Island and 10 other atolls in the Central Pacific Ocean were the first to be visited in 2025.
00:46It was visited by several places in New Zealand such as Chatham Islands, Auckland, and its capital, Wellington.
00:53We, Filipinos, are celebrating the New Year of the people of Beijing in China, Hong Kong, and Singapore.
01:00While the last inhabited or inhabited place to celebrate the New Year is New Island and American Samoa in the South Pacific.
01:09But if we include the uninhabited islands, Baker Island and Howland Island are the last on the list.
01:17Always remember, it's important to know.
01:20This is Brother Kim, wishing you a safe and happy New Year.
01:30How confident are you that the New Year's resolutions you listed will be achieved?
01:36We met an online freelancer whose New Year's resolution is FITSpiration.
01:42What is her step-by-step plan to achieve this?
01:46Brother Kim, what is it?
01:52The New Year's resolution of this beautiful freelancer is to be fit and healthy.
01:57But...
01:58I really struggled because I always fulfill my promise to myself every year.
02:04Every time I see myself in the mirror, it's another failure.
02:09So this time, I will really fulfill it.
02:11I will do this as a testament of my self-love.
02:15I believe in you. Don't forget that.
02:17And her first step to achieve this is to do 10,000 steps every day.
02:21I just want to show up for myself.
02:23That's why I decided that I need to change my habits because I want to be better.
02:30It's a good thing that she started when she moved here to Bandayan Island in Cebu last year.
02:34And after more than 100 days, her sacrifices paid off.
02:38So far, I've lost 30 pounds.
02:41But this is with calorie deficit.
02:43That's why she plans to continue this.
02:45I want to do strength training along with the 10,000 steps that I did.
02:49It will help me to tone my body.
02:54Brother Kim, when did you start making New Year's resolutions?
02:58Brother Kim, what is it?
02:59The tradition of making New Year's resolutions started 4,000 years ago.
03:03And it is taught by their ancestors, the ancient Babylonians.
03:06They were also the first to make a New Year's resolution.
03:10In their New Year's celebration, which is held in March when they are planting,
03:14they crown their new king.
03:16Or they reaffirm their loyalty to their current king.
03:20They also promise their gods to pay their debts and reimburse their debts.
03:25If they can do this, they will be blessed.
03:27And the opposite will happen if they are defeated.
03:30This tradition is considered a forerunner to the New Year's resolution.
03:34But in the past, the ancient Babylonians were afraid of not being able to make their promise.
03:39They were afraid that there would be too many New Year's resolutions.
03:42In fact, according to studies in America,
03:44only 9% of Americans were able to make their New Year's resolution.
03:4823% of them stopped it in the first week.
03:5143% quit at the end of the first month of the year.
03:55But is there a secret to achieve New Year's resolutions?
03:58But is there a secret to achieve New Year's resolutions?
04:01We need self-commitment and self-discipline as well.
04:05It's better if we write down our success indicator.
04:09It's better if we have an accountability partner.
04:12That's the one you can work with.
04:14The new year brings new hope.
04:17That's why I hope that our New Year's resolutions will be reachable.
04:22This is Kuya Kim and I will answer you 24 hours.
04:29In a rare opportunity,
04:32a NASA spacecraft arrived.
04:35The atmosphere of the closest star in our solar system,
04:40the sun.
04:42What is the secret of this record-breaking encounter?
04:47Kuya Kim, what is it?
04:52This is the day that NASA is waiting for,
04:54or National Aeronautics and Space Administration.
04:57This December 26,
04:59they discovered the spacecraft Parker Solar Probe.
05:04It survived after traveling 3.8 million miles
05:07from the surface of the biggest star in our solar system,
05:11the sun.
05:15There it is.
05:16See it?
05:17There it is.
05:19Parker Solar Probe is 3.8.
05:213.8.
05:223.8 million miles from the surface of the sun.
05:25This is why it is now considered the closest encounter of mankind to a star.
05:30How far is 3.8 million miles?
05:323.8 million miles may not sound that close,
05:36but if I put the sun and the earth 1 meter apart,
05:39Parker Solar Probe would be 4 centimeters from the sun.
05:42It's the closest human-made object to a star.
05:46How important is this encounter?
05:51Kuya Kim, what is it?
05:55The Parker Solar Probe,
05:56named after the astrophysicist Dr. Eugene Parker,
05:59was launched in Calahuacan on August 12, 2018.
06:02It aims to conduct a close study of the sun.
06:04This area that Parker is going into is just so crucial to our understanding of the sun
06:09and its impact on the earth.
06:10That solar interaction, that space weather,
06:13those billions of tons of material that the sun can throw at us
06:16interacts with our power grids, can interact with our technology,
06:19so it's really important to understand them at their source
06:22and how they get all that energy.
06:23For a spacecraft to reach the atmosphere of the sun,
06:26it travels at a speed of 430,000 miles per hour.
06:29With this speed, you can travel from New York to Tokyo
06:32in less than a minute.
06:34And so that it doesn't burn or melt in the very hot temperature of the sun,
06:39we protect it with a carbon composite shield.
06:44What else will we discover about the sun after this close encounter?
06:48That is what we will look forward to in the coming days.
06:53Always remember, the important thing to know.
06:55This is Kuya Kim, and I will answer you 24 hours.
07:04A ship went viral online in Cebu Ocean Park.
07:07The ship was named Super Lambing.
07:11Kuya Kim, what's next?
07:16They will just peek at what they will see.
07:18They will scare you.
07:20Son of a ship.
07:22But you won't be scared of one of these floating in Cebu Ocean Park.
07:25Their ship is called Super Lambing.
07:29It's also very clingy.
07:30It likes to hug the diver it meets.
07:35The diver in the video is Michael.
07:37While the ship has been taken care of for a long time.
07:44And the reason why he's so confident that he won't get hurt
07:46is because he's used to it.
07:48Whenever he feeds the fish in the gigantic aquarium,
07:51we train him.
07:52We feed him every day.
07:54Then we hold him.
07:55Until he gets bigger, we let him swim.
07:57Since their video went viral,
07:59Michael and his son have been taking care of the fish.
08:01Visitors are already waiting for them.
08:03Herein, we have a feeding show three times a day.
08:05The guests are really looking for them.
08:07But what kind of fish is the video that takes care of Michael?
08:12Kuya Kim, what's next?
08:15The clingy fish in Cebu Ocean Park
08:17is the Genglimos Thomas Serratum or North Shark.
08:20It's not yet clear why it's called North Shark.
08:23It's possible that it came from the sound it makes
08:25when it hunts prey.
08:26It's like the sound of a snake.
08:29Some say that it comes from the archaic word Nus
08:32which means cat shark.
08:34North Sharks are slow-smelling
08:36and not like the Great White Shark
08:38that we see on TV and movies
08:40where people swim.
08:42North Sharks are harmless or not dangerous to humans.
08:45Even so, they are big.
08:46They can reach up to 14 feet
08:48and have very strong jaws.
08:50That's why they can still bite
08:52when they are in a storm.
08:54That's why Cebu Ocean Park is reminding
08:56that if you see a North Shark in the sea,
08:58don't just approach it.
09:00These sharks look friendly
09:02but still, in the wild, it's not advisable
09:04to touch them since they are not tame
09:06or they are not familiar with humans.
09:08Remember, it's important to know.
09:11I am Kuya Kim and I will answer you 24 hours a day.
09:19Lechon is trending
09:21for people to fall in love with North Sharks
09:23because of its huge size.
09:25What's the occasion and why is there a Lechon Jumbo?
09:28Kuya Kim, what is it?
09:32Just one look at this Lechon
09:34and you will fall in love with it.
09:36This Lechon Jumbo is really big.
09:39The viral Lechon, which weighs up to 98 kilos,
09:42is ready to fall in love with North Sharks
09:44like the North Sharks.
09:46The occasion is to make them fall in love.
09:48Because of the size of the Lechon,
09:50it doesn't fit on their table.
09:52It's called a pig or a calamity.
09:55We were really surprised
09:59because we didn't expect
10:01that the pig would reach that size.
10:05The pig that they caught,
10:07Bobby bought it himself
10:08to make them fall in love with it.
10:10It was supposed to be grilled in October.
10:14Supposedly, he said that it would be grilled in October.
10:19But it was postponed.
10:21It reached December.
10:24That's why the pig that we raised was that big.
10:31Because of the size of the Lechon,
10:32it didn't reach all the visitors.
10:34From December 27,
10:36until now,
10:38there's still a lot left.
10:41It's in our refrigerator.
10:42And the dishes that we made were
10:44Paksiw, Pagpiprito.
10:47Why do Filipinos choose to prepare Lechon
10:51whenever there's an occasion?
10:52Because of the theme.
10:54The preparation of Lechon whenever there's an occasion
10:56is already part of our culture and tradition.
10:59The preparation is confusing.
11:00It's a symbol of hard work and enthusiasm.
11:02It's also expensive to prepare Lechon.
11:04That's why it's more special
11:06when it's prepared.
11:08The word Lechon
11:09comes from the Spanish word Leche.
11:11It means milk.
11:14Back then,
11:15the Lechon was made by young pigs
11:16that were breastfeeding
11:17or breastfeeding to their mothers.
11:19The Spaniards named it Lechon.
11:21Did you know that
11:22even though we're still new to cooking,
11:24the grilling or Lechon of pigs
11:26was already done by our ancestors.
11:28But did you know
11:29what is considered the Lechon capital of the Philippines?
11:32It's the Loma in Quezon City.
11:34This is Kuya Kim reminding you.
11:38Be careful when eating Lechon.
11:41So that we don't get easily depressed.
