00:00 [Music]
00:09 Good morning. Here are the first news of GMA Integrated News.
00:14 18 people died in a crash of a bus in Bangin, Hamtik, Antique.
00:21 Arianne Raven Mejia, who is still alive and well in Bangin, but she was hospitalized.
00:27 Mejia's fiancé, who is with her, is recovering from the crash.
00:31 Antique Provincial Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Office said that
00:35 some people are speeding and losing their bus money because of the accidents.
00:40 Balya Car Transit, which owns a bus, is not true.
00:45 They let the bus go even though it has a problem.
00:48 It is in their protocol that the bus should stop if there is a problem and a rescue unit should be brought.
00:55 Authorities are also discussing how to avoid accidents in the area,
01:00 especially the so-called "killer curve" of Antique Governor Rodora Cadiau.
01:04 The Department of Social Welfare and Development gave P10,000 for six critical cases.
01:11 They are still studying what kind of help they will be able to provide to other victims.
01:17 The LTFRB suspended the 90-day suspension of the 12 buses of Balya Car Transit, Antique, Iloilo.
01:25 They are calling for help and urgent action.
01:29 The owner of a fishing boat was rescued and left by Chinese vessels in Occidental, Mindoro.
01:41 We have a first-hand update from Chino Gaston.
01:45 Fishing boat FBCA Ruel J was caught by Chinese bulk carrier MV Taihang 8 in the waters of Occidental, Mindoro on Tuesday.
02:00 The Chinese vessel is heading to Indonesia.
02:04 It was monitored by the Philippine Coast Guard that passed through Cebu to Straits and Tawi-Tawi.
02:09 The fishing boat was left in the middle of the sea and was able to return to Sablayan Fort.
02:17 The owner of the boat is Jaziel.
02:20 He is very thankful to the fishermen who were able to see them,
02:24 as well as to PCG Occidental, Mindoro, for their urgent action in the incident.
02:29 I just want them to answer why they left us like that.
02:33 Because in that boat, there are many families who are in despair and many families lost their livelihood.
02:40 I am calling on the boat to be fair to you and answer what happened to us and not leave us.
02:49 It's possible that they didn't see them or it's also possible that they saw them but they were caught before they could maneuver.
02:58 According to the protocol of maritime incidents like this, the Coast Guard contacted the owner of the boat.
03:04 They will also write to the flag state of the boat.
03:07 The report says that the vessel is Chinese flag and we now are coordinating with the flag state.
03:15 We have an existing protocol to go after maritime offenders of that nature.
03:21 Although the boat was said to be impractical and physically chased, PCG promised.
03:26 Any users of our seas, if they commit mistakes, they commit offense in our waters, we will go after them anywhere in the world.
03:37 Through the existing protocols that we have with other Coast Guards.
03:40 Five fishermen were rescued from the fishing boat.
03:43 They were also rescued with the help of the Coast Guard and the local government.
03:47 This is the first news. Chino Gaston for GMA Integrated News.
03:52 The highest employment rate in the country in almost 18 years was recorded by the Philippine Statistics Authority this October.
04:00 It is the first to bring the rise of business during the holiday season.
04:04 We have the first news, Sandra Aguinaldo.
04:07 JM Obispado is working as a Christmas tree vendor in the nearby arcade.
04:17 Christmas decor is now selling well.
04:20 I started working here in September.
04:23 I've been here since the first week of September.
04:26 I finished this in December.
04:29 Until December 15.
04:32 My income here is 600 to 1,000 pesos a day.
04:37 We started here in August because that was the starting point of the business.
04:42 It ended by 22nd of December.
04:48 One of the reasons why the number of Filipinos with jobs increased in the PSA is because of the increase of businesses that have a link to Christmas.
04:58 That is the result of the latest Labor Force Survey by the Philippine Statistics Authority for the month of October,
05:05 where the recorded employment rate was 95.8%.
05:09 That is the highest in almost 18 years.
05:12 The lowest in almost 18 years was the unemployment rate in October, which was 4.2%,
05:20 which was the same as November 2022.
05:22 Among the industries that have the most jobs are wholesale and retail trade, agriculture and forestry, and accommodation and food service activities.
05:33 We have bazaars, open during weekends.
05:36 Our restaurants are open. They are adding additional workers.
05:42 This is where we see where the source of our increase in employment is.
05:48 But because the work is seasonal, those like JM and Anna May no longer have work after December because they will not be able to buy their goods.
05:58 JM will look for other means of income to support his mother.
06:03 I am also a rider and I am also a rider online.
06:08 Why do you need two?
06:10 So that I can have something to spend on daily and I can have someone to sit next to me.
06:15 Anna May Martinez-Daman has been saving her salary from August until December.
06:21 What about after December?
06:23 I will just stay at home. I will just have a household because we have our own house.
06:29 The National Economic and Development Authority is hoping that more people will have jobs in the government's bid for investors and future infrastructure projects.
06:40 Here is the first news. Sandra Aguinaldo for GMA Integrated News.
06:46 The camp of the hosts of SMNI, Lorraine Badoy and Jeffrey Caerig-Selis, has gathered to return the contempt order of the camera against them.
06:57 We are requesting the good committee to reconsider for humanitarian reasons and for the spirit of Christmas, maybe they will reconsider that protest or that contempt order or that arrest order.
07:12 Badoy was condemned for lying to the House Committee on Legislative Franchises, his partner, through the SMNI program.
07:21 Selis was also condemned for lying to the media about who is the source of the 1.8 billion pesos travel fund, House Speaker Martin Romualdez.
07:32 At first, Selis admitted that this is false information.
07:36 According to their lawyer, hunger strikes started between Badoy and Selis on Monday.
07:41 Badoy and Selis will be back in court on the hearing of the House Committee on Legislative Franchises, where they will appeal their detention.
07:49 The committee also invited the VIR to clarify the SMNI program.
07:55 The committee passed a resolution to the National Telecommunications Commission or communication that the franchise of Suara Zug Media Corporation,
08:04 the company that runs Sunshine Media Network International or SMNI, will suspend.
08:10 The accused were charged with spreading false information that is against the responsibility of the franchise owner,
08:21 asking for permission from the Congress to change the ownership of the corporation and sell 30 percent of their stocks to the public.
08:33 We will have to render a committee report and then the committee report will be voted upon by the committee and this will be submitted to plenary for adoption.
08:44 We believe that there is no violation. If there is a violation, at least the person who alleges has the obligation to prove that there is a violation.
08:58 There is a presumption of good faith on the part of SMNI.
09:03 It's already 17 days of Christmas. Lechon is being sold in Laloma to be prepared for Christmas parties and other occasions this holiday season.
09:13 How is the price of lechon? Let's find out on the first live news of James Agustin. James, the medicine.
09:27 Good morning. The price of lechon has increased in Laloma, Quezon City. It's possible that it has increased before Christmas.
09:35 This morning, some people bought lechon for their Christmas party.
09:40 James went to Laloma early to buy lechon that he will sell in the new barrio of Caloocan.
09:49 He said that it's a good choice for those who will choose, especially for Christmas parties.
09:53 It's just a side dine, sir. To earn a little. Of course, it's a hard life. We need to have a little discount.
10:01 Ms. Brenda also bought lechon that she will sell in the Christmas party in Batangas.
10:06 It's more fun to have a Christmas party if you have lechon, even if the price increases.
10:12 It's worth it. Yes.
10:14 The reason why Robert bought lechon for his Christmas party and birthday is a double celebration.
10:21 We bought it for his people, so that they will be happy for Christmas party and his birthday.
10:28 Since December, the price of lechon has increased. It's from P7,500 to P17,500, depending on the size.
10:38 There are also lechon that can be bought per kilo for P1,200.
10:42 The travelers always say that they base their expenses on pork.
10:51 It's really a lot of expenses. The permit, gasoline, that's what they give us.
11:01 The price of lechon is still possible to increase, especially on the eve of Christmas.
11:05 They say that there are a lot of orders.
11:07 The price is not stable yet because it depends on the arrival of the pork and how much they want.
11:21 They will increase the price. But it's important to have a supply.
11:33 Meanwhile, the lechon store in Laloma is really busy.
11:38 It's early to put it outside the store.
11:41 The newly cooked lechon is still hot and the skin is very crispy.
11:45 Our fellow citizens can choose a lot of lechon depending on their budget.
11:50 Of course, they can still afford it if they buy it early.
11:53 We just remind the people who will buy lechon to be careful with their food so that we don't have to drink medicine.
12:00 Advance Merry Christmas to all of you. I am James Agustin for GMA Integrated News.
12:05 And in the next holiday season, a Christmas village in Manawag, Pangasinan will not be defeated.
12:15 Here is the first live news of Jasmine Gabriel Galvan of GMA Regional TV, 1 North Central Luzon. Jasmine.
12:26 Good morning, Kapuso. Good morning, Ivan.
12:29 It's a few days before the celebration of Christmas but here in Manawag, Pangasinan,
12:33 the Christmas spirit is already strong.
12:36 Especially, the tourists are already open to their Candleland-inspired Christmas village
12:42 that is perfect for this long weekend.
12:50 They don't need to travel abroad to experience their beautiful Christmas feels.
12:56 Because in Manawag, Pangasinan, their Christmas village is an attraction that is Candleland-inspired.
13:03 From the 35th Christmas tree that is full of giants with decoration like candies, donuts and cupcakes,
13:11 the giant lollipops and gingerbread that will be colored in the plaza are also surrounded.
13:16 They will be buying Candleland-inspired.
13:20 Inside the plaza, you can enjoy the various free rides.
13:24 According to the local government, they are giving to the youths the theme of their Christmas village this year.
13:31 The true Christmas of the Filipinos is not happy, not sweet and not beautiful.
13:38 Especially, if the whole family is together.
13:41 [Music]
13:47 Ivan, during this time, it's already bright, that's why the Christmas lights are switched off in Candleland.
13:53 But, the beauty of Candleland is still visible and bright.
13:58 I will just show it to our hearts, the situation here in Candleland-inspired Christmas village of Manawag.
14:06 I said it's early, but the beauty of this place is still visible.
14:12 Even though it's early, there are still a lot of visitors coming here.
14:18 It's still beautiful to take pictures because their Christmas village is very colorful.
14:25 It's for the kids. There are gift boxes there.
14:29 There are gingerbreads.
14:32 Their Christmas lights are beautiful.
14:35 Actually, their Christmas tree, even though it's a corner, it's still picture perfect.
14:39 It's just so happy to take pictures.
14:41 And it's so fun, Ivan, because we've been here since 5 a.m.
14:44 It's so fun because every time someone comes here, we can see the smiles on their faces.
14:51 It's so nice to feel that our hearts are feeling the Christmas spirit.
14:57 So, that's the latest from Manawag, Pangasinan.
15:00 Back to you, Ivan.
15:02 Our hearts are feeling the Christmas spirit when they visit Manawag Church.
15:09 Thank you very much, Jasmine Gabriel Galvan, GMA Regional TV 1 North Central Luzon.
15:15 It's Christmas season now, Our Lady of Immaculate Conception, and it's also a holiday,
15:19 that's why a lot of devotees went to Cubao Cathedral to pray.
15:24 Live from Quezon City, we have the first news, Bam Alegre.
15:28 Bam!
15:30 Susan, good morning.
15:34 This is the Feast of Immaculate Conception.
15:36 A lot of devotees woke up early to attend the first mass today.
15:41 Even though Wilma Conde is far from her province in Leyte,
15:47 and she can't pray at the Immaculate Conception Feast in their place,
15:51 she was able to pray here in Cubao Cathedral this morning.
15:54 She's been here for a few years now, when this is the occasion.
15:57 I'm really devoted to the Immaculate Conception because in Borawen, Leyte,
16:03 that's where we are, that's our church, Immaculate.
16:10 It's a holiday for us now.
16:12 Good health for the family, for my friends, for my siblings, and for everyone.
16:20 Even though she's tired from the mass,
16:22 she's also a mass for the Immaculate Conception that was led by Tessie Martin.
16:26 She's always a child, she always brings a mass for this occasion.
16:30 Back in Antipolo, now here in Cubao Cathedral,
16:33 the sacred bringing of the Virgin Mary to Jesus Christ
16:35 is remembered in the Feast of Immaculate Conception.
16:39 Here in Cubao Cathedral, there are a few religious items that are sold in the church,
16:42 like this bead that is depicted by Mama Mary.
16:45 Our beads are Mary beads, Sir.
16:48 Miraculous beads, Fatima beads, and so on.
16:52 Are there many things that you sell?
16:54 Yes, Sir. We sell religious articles.
16:57 Susan, this is an official day of the Feast of Immaculate Conception,
17:05 that's why many Catholics are expecting to attend the mass today.
17:08 At this time, the mass is just about to end,
17:11 that's why there's a drum and bugle live band as a reminder for the beginning of the Feast.
17:18 This is the first news from Cubao, Quezon City.
17:20 Bama Laguna for GMA Integrated News.
17:24 The Department of Health in the country has reported four cases of mycoplasma pneumonia or walking pneumonia this year.
17:30 However, there are no outbreaks in the country and all the walking pneumonia cases are good.
17:36 We will now bring in the infectious diseases specialist, Dr. Ronjin Solante.
17:41 Good morning.
17:43 Hi, Egan. Good morning.
17:46 Doc, should the public be concerned about walking pneumonia?
17:51 Well Egan, we should not panic because walking pneumonia is a very old type of organism,
18:00 a microbial that can cause very mild symptoms of pneumonia.
18:04 That's why it is called walking pneumonia Egan because most of the time,
18:09 the symptoms will not really cause you a lot of problems unlike COVID before,
18:14 where you can go to the hospital and you can hardly breathe.
18:18 Majority of those will recover.
18:21 If you don't take this medicine, it is a self-limiting type.
18:26 It will just disappear.
18:27 Yes, it will just disappear.
18:29 The symptoms of this will last for a long time but the majority, it is really mild Egan.
18:35 So what are the symptoms of this? It is like flu-like symptoms.
18:40 Yes. Usually, it is a cough, fever, sore throat, and body aches.
18:46 The most striking symptoms are the recurring coughs and eventually, it will disappear.
18:54 It is longer than influenza in terms of duration of symptoms.
18:58 The incubation period of this is one week to two weeks.
19:03 So it means that it will last for a long time and the symptoms will be gone for a long time.
19:08 Even though there is no outbreak of walking pneumonia,
19:13 I noticed that many people are dying from the cold weather.
19:19 Yes Egan. Even before the pandemic, these kinds of respiratory illnesses,
19:26 because of viral like influenza, RSV or other bacteria, is already common during this month of November, December and early part of January.
19:39 We did not notice that because of the pandemic, because we are wearing masks and these kinds of infections are decreasing.
19:47 Because of the three years that we are wearing face masks and social distancing, we do not have gatherings.
19:53 But now, since we do not have restrictions, it is expected that the number of classic infections will increase.
20:02 President Bambang Marcos has already had three COVID-19 cases and he is calling for the return of the mandatory face mask.
20:09 Do you support that doctor?
20:11 Well, I think we don't need a mandatory face mask. What we need is an optional face mask.
20:18 It means that it is a decision of the person. If you are high risk for that, then wear a face mask.
20:24 If you're attending to people and you are a vulnerable population or you want to protect yourself,
20:32 it is not prohibited to wear a face mask. That's what we want to encourage people to be educated about wearing a face mask.
20:40 Especially if you're left-handed during Christmas party, Dr. Solante.
20:43 Yes. That will be a possible cause that by January, the number of influenza-like illnesses will increase because of the close contact of these activities.
20:58 You're also higher risk of transmitting these viral type of infections or bacteria.
21:05 Thank you very much infectious disease expert Dr. Ronjit Solante. Take care doc.
21:10 Thank you. You can. Thank you and good morning.
