NewsTranscript
00:00 Live from the GMA Network Center, this is 24 Horas.
00:06 Good evening, Luzon, Lizaes and Mindanao.
00:11 The bride and groom are already tied up in the wedding.
00:15 That's why a senior high student was killed in the wedding.
00:20 That is the motive behind the man's death while he was in Gapos, Rizal.
00:27 The victim's relatives filed a complaint that they were allowed to see the couple's relationship.
00:32 But the bride herself was not seen.
00:35 Stay tuned to my exclusive report.
00:38 On October 29, the 16-year-old grade 11 student, Ronald John Delgado, left the house.
00:49 He said goodbye and started a school project with his classmate.
00:54 He stole my cellphone and said he will be back in a while.
01:00 But by midnight, Ronald did not return home.
01:04 We called him many times but his cellphone did not ring.
01:08 He said he was already out of coverage area.
01:10 The next day, October 30, around 7 in the morning, Ronald's hands were found dead and in Gapos
01:17 on the side of the road leading to the crime scene, Barangay Macabud, Rodriguez, Rizal.
01:24 He was found dead on death certificate.
01:25 The victim was killed by a car.
01:27 It was very painful. It was very painful.
01:31 I was the only son of that man.
01:34 If he died of the pain, it's okay.
01:37 But what he did was very cruel.
01:39 He was stabbed and he was hit here. His face was wet.
01:44 Police and Ronald's family visited the victim's house to ask questions.
01:49 But...
01:50 During our follow-up investigation and operation, we went to the house but they left their house.
01:59 Their house is already locked.
02:02 They have three families that are locked.
02:05 Four witnesses gave testimony and confirmed that the police found the possible motive for the crime.
02:13 The motive we found here is that the family wants to separate their son from the victim.
02:23 The motive we found for the killing of our victim is anger.
02:28 This victim has a minor girlfriend. Based on the testimony of our witnesses, we found out her relationship with our victim.
02:45 According to the testimony of the police and the victim's family,
02:50 the family is against the friendship between Ron and his lover.
02:55 The woman is already arranged marriage.
02:59 The woman is old enough to be given to the man she's going to marry.
03:05 Before Ronald was found dead, his girlfriend chatted with their friends and said that Ron was following them to their house because there's a problem.
03:16 She said come here Ron because my brother caught us. She said we might get into a fight.
03:24 Earlier, a murder complaint was filed against a group of personalities that are full of the victim's lover's relatives.
03:32 Now sir, we have a family that is under demand. If possible, we will not mention their names.
03:39 We are calling for you to surrender to the authorities so that the death of a young victim will be made clear.
03:52 The victim's lover is also included in the demand that cannot be seen.
03:57 Because he's the last person with our victim, he's also being considered as POI.
04:07 If you really love my brother, please tell the truth. We will not get angry.
04:15 Just show up. We just want justice.
04:20 We will now discuss the next story.
04:25 Not only was he stabbed, but he was also stabbed by a crow.
04:30 The Chinese POGO workers were in a hurry to go to Mulacan when they discovered that the suspects were using a weapon.
04:39 This is June Veneracion.
04:44 Vise grip pliers, hammer, ordinary tools if you will look at it.
04:50 But they used it in a very dangerous way based on what the PNP Anti-Kidnapping Group or AKG discovered.
04:57 The three Chinese POGO workers were rescued by the Kawayan Bulacan on November 10.
05:02 We also have a hammer and pliers that the victim was pulled by his neck.
05:07 We used pliers because we retrieved pliers and there were blood on the floor.
05:12 According to the PNP AKG, torture of victims is a common way of Chinese kidnappers to force their relatives to pay ransom.
05:22 10,000 USDT or cryptocurrency is the ransom demand of the suspects.
05:28 The relatives were sent photos and videos that were posted and printed by the victims.
05:33 This is what the kidnappers do to demand money.
05:39 They show that they are hurting their victims.
05:42 Two Chinese kidnappers were arrested in the rescue operation.
05:46 They were charged with kidnapping, serious illegal detention and illegal possession of firearms.
05:52 We are still trying to get the suspects' files.
05:55 We are still trying to find out if they are still with them or if they have a connection to another kidnapping case.
06:00 According to the PNP AKG, the first Pogo-related kidnapping case this year was the incident.
06:07 It was on the 18th of 2022.
06:10 For GMA Integrated News, I'm Jun Veneración.
06:13 Tune in for 24 hours.
06:15 Former Senator Laila Delima postponed the next steps after being released because she was allowed to pay her bail.
06:32 Jasmine Gabriel Galvan of GMA Visual TV, One World Central Luzon, was on the scene.
06:38 At around 10 a.m. this morning, former Senator Laila Delima went to the Minor Basilica of Our Lady of the Most Holy Rosary of Manawag
06:51 to thank the Virgin Mary for her strength in the prison.
06:56 She was told not to go there for her safety.
06:59 She insisted because of a promise.
07:01 I cried for them. I practically begged and pleaded.
07:06 I said no, no, I can never ever break my promise to Mama Mary.
07:12 Every day when I pray to Mama Mary, I always tell her, Mama Mary, please help me to be released.
07:17 I will visit you when I'm released.
07:22 She was told to answer prayer for her temporary release after being allowed to pay her bail for her third and last illegal drug case.
07:31 I feel vindicated. I've been waiting for this. I've been waiting for this moment.
07:35 I never lost faith that this moment will come when I will be vindicated.
07:42 I'm just doing it.
07:44 Outside, her supporters were waiting for her, whom she held and talked to.
07:49 Because she was just released after more than six years in prison,
07:53 the former senator was still changing her attitude towards returning to normal life.
07:57 I didn't sleep much. I slept for two hours. I was still changing.
08:03 I miss my detention cell and my cats there.
08:09 For now, she wants to focus on her family before she thinks about her next steps.
08:16 I will return to law practice and I will return to teaching in law school.
08:24 But always, whatever would be the next calling, I will not stop helping my core advocacies.
08:36 From GMA Regional TV, One North, Central Luzon and GMA Integrated News, Jasmine Gabriel Galvan, for 24 Hours.
08:46 Is the election of 2025 already a sign of changes in the alliances in the House of Representatives?
08:53 According to a congressman, the party of the President and the House Speaker,
08:58 the strong point of the next election is still the absence of former President's party members.
09:06 He pointed out this to Senator Perez.
09:13 President Bongbong Marcos is the first to celebrate the 60th birthday of House Speaker Martin Romualdez last night.
09:21 The President expressed his gratitude for the support given by the camera under the leadership of his cousin, Romualdez.
09:30 And so, the part of the House of Representatives, both houses of Congress, they play a critical part for all our aspirations to make life better for every Filipino.
09:45 And I cannot finish without pointing out that this very strong message of support could not have been possible without the fine leadership of our Speaker, our birthday boy, Speaker Martin Romualdez.
10:05 And we have seen that this kind of unity is not simple to achieve.
10:11 And it requires a great deal of work, a great deal of compromise, a great deal of commitment to what we feel is the best path that our country should be taking for a better future.
10:28 That was the President's statement during the changes of the alliances inside the House of Representatives.
10:35 Next to him, the members of PDP-LABA, former President Rodrigo Duterte, moved to the federal party of President Marcos and finally to the CMD led by Romualdez.
10:47 According to PDP-LABA Vice President Fermin Danau and Surigal del Sur Congressman Johnny Pimentel, when the 19th Congress was opened in 2022, 65 members of PDP-LABA were in the Congress.
11:01 Now, they are only 15 and it is possible that they will be reduced.
11:05 If my information is really reliable, I believe that only 45 members will be left in PDP as far as Congress is concerned.
11:19 I'm already weighing my options. Most probably, I will also be transferring to another party.
11:26 One of the main reasons Pimentel is leaving the Congress is Duterte's statement to the Camera that this is the most corrupt institution.
11:37 I believe it could also be one of the main reasons why they have decided to transfer to other political parties because they could not anymore reconcile their mandate, their duties and functions as members of the House of Representatives
11:54 to their duties and functions as members of PDP-LABA.
12:01 Pimentel said that in the next election, the strongest party is the CMD of the Speaker or the federal party of the President.
12:11 That is really the culture of our politics here. Whoever is in power, that is where the politicians are.
12:20 For the GMA Integrated News, Tina Panganiban Perez, Nakatuto 24 Horas.
12:27 Let's go back to the story of Maryse Umali from America.
12:32 She is considered a security in the food of the President's supporters in her visit to the APEC Summit.
12:38 She will be flying there later and she watched live in the US.
12:48 Vicky, it is 3 o'clock in the morning here in San Francisco, California.
12:54 Until now, we have seen and observed public works and highways, cleaning, and yesterday, there was security particularly on the roads towards the completion of the 30th Asia Pacific Economic Cooperation or APEC Leaders Summit.
13:12 When it comes to security, we ourselves experienced a tightness even in places that are usually open to tourists.
13:21 Security in the Moscone Center in San Francisco, California, where the 2023 Asia Pacific Economic Cooperation Summit will be held, was even tighter.
13:37 Even for us, it was difficult to travel because of the tightness of transportation, like cable cars, and many roads were closed.
13:47 Among the APEC's member economies, President Bombong Marcos will be leaving the Philippines tonight, Horas sa Pilipinas.
13:55 His agenda includes the advancement of sustainable and affordable energy and food security.
14:00 The President will also be meeting with big companies in America, while it is possible for one-on-one meetings with other world leaders, even though there is no confirmation yet.
14:10 According to Philippine Ambassador to Washington, even though the President will not meet with US President Joe Biden, there is a request from the office of US Vice President Kamala Harris for a meeting.
14:21 1989 will be the APEC of the 12 member economies, including the Philippines.
14:26 Aside from discussing various issues, the Philippines is benefiting from the exports of its members, which reached 21.
14:36 America is number one in exporting to the Philippines, and China is where the largest import will come from.
14:48 Vicky, this is the second time President Bombong Marcos will be attending the APEC Leaders Summit since he was appointed as the President of the Philippines.
15:00 After his participation in the APEC Summit, he will also have working visits in Los Angeles, California, and Honolulu, Hawaii, where the President will also meet with some businessmen and the Filipino community.
15:14 So that's the latest news from San Francisco, California. For GMA Integrated News, Maris Umali, 24 Hours.
15:22 Thank you very much, Maris Umali.
15:24 Humbert's Mana itself has requested to lower their confidential fund to just 1 million pesos.
15:33 The Senate has already approved more than 5 million pesos of its budget. That's what Donald T. Cunco is talking about.
15:40 Is there an objection? Hearing none, motion is approved.
15:47 The Senate has already approved the 5.4 billion pesos proposed budget of the Office of the Ombudsman.
15:55 It has already requested to lower its confidential fund to just 1 million pesos from the original 51 million pesos.
16:03 We are very thankful to the Senate for giving notice to our budget and not discussing it too much.
16:12 It will be lower than the actual budget this year. But will it be enough for the next year?
16:19 That's what the elderly are saying. You will be in trouble if you have a small home.
16:26 You will be in trouble if you have a small home. I just have to validate that.
16:39 But it cannot be zeroed because confidential funds are needed for the investigation and surveillance of the cases and the complaints filed against them.
16:48 This is also a cloud of expenses for the security of the investigators and the Ombudsman.
16:54 For GMA Integrated News, Donald T. Cunco, for Tutok 24 Horas.
16:58 Good evening, Kapuso.
17:11 There is a change in the way we monitor the typhoon yesterday outside the Philippine Area of Responsibility.
17:17 Since the tropical depression, it has become a low-pressure area.
17:22 But the LPA is still preparing because it is expected to enter the PAR and there is a chance that it will rise again in the next few days.
17:30 At the latest, the LPA passed 1565 kilometers east of the southeastern part of Mindanao.
17:39 It is said that it is possible that it will enter the PAR on Thursday or Friday.
17:44 There is no chance that it will develop again as a typhoon and if ever, it will be the typhoon of the country.
17:52 We will continue to monitor it, so stay tuned for updates.
17:55 It has no effect on any part of the country, but the Amihan and the Shire Line are getting rained on.
18:02 That is the reason for flooding in some parts of Luzon like Aurora.
18:07 In the town of Kasiguran, some houses were flooded after the almost heavy rain.
18:13 D2 Road was the one to control the flood in their town.
18:16 The river part of the town of Dilasag was also flooded, so some roads were flooded.
18:22 Some residents were unable to do anything but to cross the overflowing water.
18:27 It is possible that it will happen again tomorrow, especially based on the Metro Weather,
18:31 the rain will be almost the same tomorrow in some parts like Isabela, Aurora, Quezon, Mindoro Provinces and Bicol Region.
18:40 There are heavy to intense rains, so be alert for possible flooding or landslides.
18:45 For Visayas, tomorrow morning, there will be rain in some parts of Aklan, Samar and Leyte Provinces.
18:52 It will continue in the afternoon, but it will be more in the western section of Visayas and Central Visayas.
18:59 In the afternoon, it is also expected that there will be rain in some parts of Mindanao,
19:04 such as Sok Sargen, Zamboanga Peninsula and Davao Region.
19:08 It is possible that there will be heavy rains in some places, so residents should be careful.
19:13 Here in Metro Manila, there is also a chance of rain, so don't forget to bring an umbrella or a raincoat if you really need to go out of the house.
19:21 Meanwhile, to our fellow fishermen or those who have small fishing boats,
19:26 it is risky and dangerous to sail in some parts of Luzon and some towns of Visayas.
19:32 That is the latest in the weather. I am Maureen Shrivers for GMA Integrated News Weather Center.
19:38 We are the ones you can expect any time.
19:41 Up to 70 groups of people can be released.
19:54 In exchange for 5 days of ceasefire to receive assistance in Gaza.
19:59 Meanwhile, some of our fellow Filipinos have also crossed from Gaza to Egypt.
20:05 Live from Cairo, Egypt, Rafi Thima is on the air. Rafi?
20:10 It is a bit early in the afternoon here in Cairo, where the Philippine Embassy team has returned.
20:20 They stayed in Rafa Border Crossing for almost a week to explain the evacuation of our fellow Filipinos from Gaza.
20:27 They waited for a day at the border if there are Filipinos who will cross,
20:31 but it is now revealed that the group of Mahmood and Nadia is the last to cross the border that day.
20:36 Last night, the second batch of the families left behind from the first group of Filipinos who crossed the border flew towards the Philippines.
20:46 Rafa Border Crossing was not allowed to enter the Egyptian side this Friday,
20:53 so he was separated from his Filipino wife and two children by the Palestinian University professor Dr. Tarek Abaid.
20:59 But he was able to cross this Saturday, so they were able to meet again.
21:03 But they were separated again because his children were the first to return to the Philippines.
21:08 Today, he will return to the Philippines.
21:21 Now, he is excited for the new life of his family in the Philippines.
21:24 He will not return to Gaza after the house was destroyed and his university was destroyed.
21:30 The Alabada family, although they are not sure where they will stay in the Philippines,
21:40 they are happy that their entire family was saved.
21:43 They thank the members of the Philippine Embassy in Jordan for coordinating their evacuation.
21:48 We did not leave them alone.
21:52 They were with us for 24 hours.
21:56 Long live the Philippines!
21:58 The Filipinos who came from Gaza were the first to experience the effects of the Israeli operation.
22:03 Even the terrorists who were targeted by Hamas targeted more than 4,000 of these airstrikes.
22:09 The civilians were mostly among the more than 11,000 who were injured.
22:13 The refugees and the hospitals were also the ones who were lost.
22:17 That is why a Filipino medical staff of Doctors Without Borders,
22:21 who was the first to cross the Rafa border crossing,
22:23 wanted to add a voice to those who were called by the ceasefire or ceasefire.
22:28 The situation there is horrible.
22:30 No access to healthcare because of bombardment of roads,
22:33 bombardment of ambulances and including hospitals.
22:37 I urge everyone as a collective voice to continue voice out ceasefire in Gaza
22:44 and to continue to uphold the humanitarian law.
22:48 US President Joe Biden said hospitals should be protected,
22:52 especially based on a video released by Israel.
22:55 There are signs that there are shells in the basement of a hospital.
22:59 According to Israel, more than 200 shells were fired by Hamas.
23:03 Hamas is ready to release up to 70 shells in exchange for five days of ceasefire.
23:09 It includes releasing 50 women and children who are detained in Gaza.
23:15 The number could reach 70 by the end of the month.
23:18 Supplies in Gaza are now in short supply, including water and food.
23:23 That is why some Palestinians are worried that they may go home because of the food they eat.
23:28 The United Nations said.
23:30 Lives in Gaza are hanging by a thread due to the depleting of fuel and medical supplies.
23:35 Also, access to water and food has become more and more difficult for those remaining.
23:41 The United Nations General Assembly also passed a resolution to condemn the Israeli settlement
23:47 in the so-called Palestinian territories including East Jerusalem and Syrian Golan.
23:53 The Philippines included 104 countries that boarded there,
23:57 while six countries opposed, including America.
24:04 This evening, the third batch of Filipinos who are heading to the Philippines
24:08 boarded a Cairo-based flight.
24:10 They are 13, including six Palestinian cousins.
24:14 Only two of them will be left here, a Filipino and his Palestinian father,
24:18 who has a condition in his heart that he needs to wait a few days before he can travel.
24:23 Of course, his son and his mother are also here.
24:27 If you can remember, he was the youngest son who escaped from Gaza.
24:31 He is now the son of a healthy young man who he named Joud, or Generosity in Arabic.
24:37 A good news in the midst of sad news from Gaza.
24:41 And the latest from Cairo, Emil.
24:45 Thank you very much, Rafi Thima, reporting from Cairo, Egypt.
24:49 Meanwhile in Manila, some police and religious groups are fighting against the genocide of Palestinians.
24:57 [Shouting]
25:00 They were forced to retreat and there is a lot of violence in the march of the religious groups towards the US Embassy.
25:07 They are condemning the ongoing and widespread killing of Israel in Gaza.
25:12 According to the group, America has a big role in the humanitarian catastrophe in Gaza.
25:18 The US Embassy has not yet responded, although there are calls from America for humanitarian force in the chaos.
25:26 Double goals achieved for the mother and son, their dreams came true.
25:32 They both graduated and passed the board exams.
25:36 Their like mother, like daughter succeeded.
25:39 This is what Cedric Castillo is talking about.
25:41 Be a best friend, be a business partner, and above all, be a mother.
25:52 That is the tandem of Chatt and Pat, the owners of this boutique in Valenzuela City.
25:58 Chatt finished her management course in 2012 when she entered the business of running a boutique.
26:05 In 2017, she went to the industry and took a pharmacy course.
26:12 Knowledge is power. I think the customers will believe us more if you have knowledge.
26:19 In 2019, Pat's daughter also took the same course.
26:26 I wanted to take dentistry but I was afraid of blood. I felt like I was drowning.
26:34 Since we have a boutique, why not try the pharmacy course since it can help.
26:44 Although they are different in education, the mother and son finished the pharmacy course in tandem.
26:49 Until this July, they reviewed for the licensure exams.
26:54 I sometimes cry for my mother. I can't review anymore.
27:01 I told her that even if I didn't pass, she's the only one who passed.
27:05 On the day of the exam, because they have the same last name, they went to Silia.
27:11 They asked me, "What's the one in the back?"
27:15 She said, "Oh, my child."
27:18 I'm the oldest in the room.
27:21 They said, "You're good. That's very inspiring."
27:26 After the exam, I looked at her. I said, "It's hard, right?"
27:31 She said, "No, it's easy."
27:33 Last week, the results of the pharmacist's licensure exam came out.
27:39 When I saw the results, I was still listening.
27:42 I said, "Mom, we passed while crying."
27:45 We really cried until I remembered.
27:49 It's hard because of me.
27:51 I have a business and my children are in need.
27:55 I have a sick mother.
27:58 I have a child with autism.
28:01 I have all kinds of difficulties.
28:04 So, they decided to follow their dreams.
28:09 If we have difficulties, we have hardships, it won't last forever.
28:15 Let's not give up. Strive harder.
28:18 It's okay to cry. At the end of the day, just fight and be an inspiration to your family.
28:26 For GMA Integrated News, Cedric Castillo, for 24 Hours.
28:32 Almost Php 380 million is the equivalent of the help that Japan will provide
28:38 for the development of infrastructure in the Bangsamoro Autonomous Region in Muslimidenau, or BARMM.
28:44 The President announced this when he visited the first BARMM Local Legislative General Assembly in Davao City.
28:51 This is part of the agreement that Japan Prime Minister Kishida Fumio signed
28:56 when he visited the country a few months ago.
28:59 The agreement includes the construction of road equipment and disaster quick response operation of the region.
29:08 Aside from that, the President also assured that his administration supported the implementation of BARMM's self-governance.
29:16 When we are talking to the OIC, when we are talking to Malaysia, when we are talking to other Islamic countries,
29:26 we continue to remind them that BARMM still needs their support.
29:31 And I have to say to their credit that they have pledged that support and will continue to support BARMM.
29:37 Some of our successful countrymen have already left Gaza.
29:46 JPS Oriano is live. JPS?
29:53 Mel, kapuso, it's been 5 days since the Filipinos and their Palestinian wives were able to return to the Philippines via Terminal 3.
30:02 They were evacuated from Gaza.
30:04 They are the third batch that was evacuated from Gaza due to the ongoing war between Israel and Hamas.
30:12 One of the people who returned is Revelina Cargolio, who was the first to talk to GMA Integrated News while in Gaza.
30:19 She was unable to go to the Rafa Border Crossing because there were no vehicles.
30:23 Now, Mel, she and her two children, including one person with Down Syndrome, are home.
30:29 They were about to be left behind because the child did not want to join the repatriation if her Palestinian husband was not with her.
30:36 She was allowed to join.
30:38 The Filipino-Palestinian Amir, who is the mother of the Filipina, is also with the third batch.
30:44 According to the DFA, all those who returned to the Philippines will be helped by their relatives,
30:50 aside from financial assistance.
30:53 Let's listen to the statements of the Filipinos from Gaza after returning to the Philippines today.
30:59 Thank you. Thank you.
31:02 We were able to return safely and we were able to leave Gaza safely.
31:08 I was able to join my family because of the fear that we experienced there.
31:16 Even at night, we could not sleep.
31:19 We were being shot at night and we could not eat.
31:23 I'm so happy that we are here in the Philippines, feeling safe.
31:28 Special thanks to the Philippine Embassy Cairo team, Amman team.
31:33 The Palestinian minors, they are Filipinos.
31:35 They have either children or grandchildren.
31:39 So they have a right to apply for passports.
31:42 The spouses, they have been given visas.
31:45 Tomorrow is the fourth batch, or the last batch of Filipino nationals who will be evacuated from Gaza.
31:56 There are 13 Filipino nationals and six Palestinian spouses who are expected to arrive here in the Philippines.
32:04 That is the latest.
32:05 Go back to your mail.
32:06 Thank you very much, JP Soriano.
32:09 The famous Festival of Lights is back with a twist in Ayala Triangle in Makati.
32:16 Let's watch the live performance of Oscar Oida.
32:19 Oscar.
32:22 Yes, Vicky.
32:26 The lights are back on in Ayala Triangle Gardens.
32:30 And aside from the Christmas lights, they have another surprise for the visitors here.
32:37 Every year, one of the most anticipated traditions here in Makati is the Festival of Lights.
32:49 And if the Christmas season here in 2022 was bright,
32:53 it is expected that it will be happier and brighter this year.
32:57 Aside from the lightshow, they added more attractions here.
33:02 Some of them are interactive.
33:04 The so-called festival has three main attractions.
33:07 First is the traditional light show, which is called Kaleidoscope of Sight, Sound and Light.
33:13 Where the lighting technology is used, which is mappable LED lights,
33:17 and interactive floor projections.
33:19 There are also various colorful images on the walls,
33:23 like butterflies that can be chased by children.
33:26 And while admiring the lights and visual effects,
33:30 the Christmas music you will hear will be even more joyful,
33:34 including the songs of Maestro Ryan Kevyab.
33:37 They also have a Wish Upon a Light or Wishing Pond
33:40 that has an interactive screen where you can write your Christmas wish.
33:45 Not to hide the joy of some employees who are happy with what they saw,
33:50 but it would be more fun if they can receive their 13-month pay anytime soon.
33:56 To budget the 13-month pay earlier, it's more fun if you have money.
34:01 To celebrate that we can buy it earlier.
34:06 The Department of Labor and Employment should remember
34:09 to give the 13-month pay of employees before Christmas.
34:14 Based on the Labor Advisory of DOLE,
34:16 the deadline for giving it is December 24 or on the eve of Christmas.
34:21 Meanwhile, Vicky, the Festival of Lights will be held every night
34:29 and is expected to last until January 14.
34:32 Vicky?
34:33 Thank you very much, Oscar Oida.
