00:15 Good morning. Here are the first news of GMA Integrated News.

00:19 It's been a hard trip for commuters to find a vehicle during this holiday rush and there are still some that have stopped.

00:27 Some taxi drivers are getting more and more tired and they were caught by the Land Transportation Office.

00:34 LTO said that they will arrest those who do not hire and refuse passengers.

00:42 Jonathan Andal has the first news.

00:44 [Music]

00:48 These passengers were hired by the taxi driver they stopped.

00:51 The single driver from North Ed to Letre Malabon is charged P300.00. He's not allowed to use the metro.

00:57 He said, "Can you give me P300.00? We're six people and there's a lot of traffic."

01:01 I don't want that.

01:02 Why are you stealing? You know it's prohibited.

01:05 I don't always steal.

01:07 Sometimes, they bring P2,000.00.

01:09 I'm sorry, sir.

01:10 No sorry.

01:11 I'm not a bad person. I admit that I'm stealing.

01:15 You're abusing.

01:16 Less than an hour ago, 10 taxis were caught by the Land Transportation Office that hired and refused passengers to ride on North Avenue in Ed last night due to rush hour.

01:28 Sir, I will not ride because there's a lot of traffic.

01:31 LTO said that's prohibited.

01:33 Even those who are driving are already parking their cars but there's no signboard.

01:37 You don't have a signboard there. You're just parking your car in the garage.

01:40 I'm sorry.

01:41 Even those who are driving slowly were not saved by LTO.

01:45 No, I just passed by a woman.

01:47 You just passed by her?

01:48 I just talked to her.

01:50 Do you have an extra helmet?

01:52 Sir, I have an extra helmet. I will give it to my wife.

01:55 I'm not stealing, sir. I'm just begging.

01:58 You're begging? Do you know the driver?

02:01 No.

02:02 It's still Christmas rush and there's a lot of public transportation that's needed.

02:06 So, to avoid the drivers who are being abused, LTO will force the officers to be punished.

02:12 They can't pass after these operations. We will immediately alarm them.

02:16 The two taxis were arrested unregistered.

02:19 They were directly to the impounding area.

02:21 It was a fake registration.

02:23 We will accompany the criminal to the fake registration.

02:26 It's a falsification of a public document.

02:28 They were just arrested once.

02:30 They will regret it for the rest of their lives.

02:34 The penalty for the first offense is a fine for the contractor and the refusal of the passenger.

02:39 But the evidence that the motorcycle was impounded

02:43 if the driver saw the records that the driver was already under a violation,

02:47 it's possible that he will be removed from his license and he will not be allowed to drive again.

02:53 LTO said that if there's an abused driver of the public transport,

02:57 report it to their 24/7 hotline 1342.

03:02 In the past month, LTO received 600 reports.

03:06 32 of them were reported to the taxis.

03:11 It's not hard to complain to LTO.

03:13 You should have a block up on the incident.

03:17 Send us your survivor number.

03:19 Call the official hotline.

03:21 LTO should take action immediately.

03:23 Here is the first news. Jonathan Andal for GMA Integrated News.

03:28 The police are not going to sell the guns during the holiday season.

03:34 If they will render immediate police assistance,

03:38 they will not worry that they will not fire the gun because it's taped.

03:42 That was the consideration.

03:44 In previous years, we have seen that it has been effective.

03:50 Like before, the Philippine National Police is concerned that the police may be involved in indiscriminate firing.

03:58 Field commanders and regional directors have ordered their men to guard against firing guns for fun.

04:07 The PNP recently taped the shooting of the new year in 2016.

04:12 A fire broke out in Maisan, Valenzuela earlier this morning.

04:18 We have live news from Bam Alegre.

04:21 Bam.

04:27 A Pancit Canton factory was burned down in a compound in Maisan, Valenzuela earlier this morning.

04:34 According to a worker, a Pancit Canton worker was involved in a violent fight.

04:41 They tried to put out the fire but it got bigger and bigger.

04:44 That's why they were trapped.

04:45 They immediately left.

04:46 Four workers are staying here and some are with their families.

04:50 There is a duty in the factory in the early hours.

04:54 It's good that no one was hurt and they didn't get hurt.

04:58 The fire reached the first alarm and was quickly controlled after 4.30 am.

05:02 The fire was declared as a fire out at 5.20 am.

05:06 The mapping operations of the Bureau of Fire Protection continues.

05:10 It came from the fire pit.

05:15 It came from the fire pit and the fire extinguisher was gone.

05:20 That's when the fire started and the fire got bigger.

05:24 We didn't know what to do.

05:29 We put a blanket on top of it but we didn't think about it.

05:34 We were trapped.

05:36 We didn't know what to do.

05:41 We put a thick cloth and we spread it.

05:46 That's when the fire got bigger.

05:50 The BFP's investigation of the fire pit and the importance of the fire pit continues.

05:56 This is the first news from Valenzuela.

05:58 Aba Malegre for GMA Integrated News.

06:00 Do you plan to prepare pork for Christmas?

06:05 If yes, increase the budget because it's expensive now.

06:09 Live from Blue Man Tread Market in Manila,

06:12 we have the first news,

06:13 Darling Kai, is the price of pork high blood now?

06:19 Susan, the price of pork and other vegetables in Blue Man Tread Market in Manila has increased.

06:30 But I said it's a bit because the sellers said they expect it to increase in the next few days.

06:37 The sellers are thinking of their own discounts to save on the food they will prepare for Christmas.

06:44 Spaghetti, morcon, ham, fruit salad and macaroni.

06:52 Those are the things Lolita will prepare for Christmas.

06:55 She started buying ricotta cheese.

06:59 I'm buying it slowly so that when the disc arrives,

07:02 I won't be able to buy it at the same time.

07:05 I'm buying it one by one.

07:10 She also noticed that the price of the things she's buying is increasing.

07:15 Gina, who is not yet starting to buy,

07:18 has already planned the discount in the market.

07:21 It's a bit expensive.

07:23 Think about it well.

07:25 Go around so that you know what's really cheap.

07:29 They plan to prepare adobo, fried chicken, spaghetti and maha.

07:34 Gina said that they are planning to reduce the amount of food they will prepare compared to last year.

07:40 It's cheaper now because it's a bit expensive.

07:43 This week alone, the price of pork has increased four times compared to what Verlyn is buying.

07:50 The price of pork is now Php280 per kilo of meat and Php340 per kilo of pork belly

07:56 here in her stall in Blue Man Tread Market in Manila.

07:59 Maybe it's because it's the season.

08:01 They're increasing because it's the season.

08:03 Actually, it's yearly.

08:05 But now, it's increasing.

08:08 The price of pork has increased.

08:11 It's now cheaper to buy chicken.

08:15 Some kinds of vegetables have also increased in price,

08:18 like potatoes, chayote, broccoli, garlic and onions.

08:23 They said that there's no stock.

08:27 That's why it's a bit expensive now.

08:31 As Christmas approaches,

08:34 they expect that the price of other vegetables will increase.

08:38 Susan, the Department of Agriculture said that

08:46 they expect that the price of agricultural products will be stable this holiday season.

08:52 That's the first news here in Manila.

08:54 I'm Darlene Cai for GMA Integrated News.

08:58 Aside from preparing for Christmas,

09:01 many are also preparing gifts.

09:04 If the budget is tight, where will they go?

09:07 In Divisoria, live from Manila.

09:10 Here's the news, James Salustin.

09:12 James, have you managed to buy what you need?

09:16 I'm sure you will.

09:18 Maris, good morning.

09:23 The budget is tight here in Divisoria.

09:26 Aside from the cheap price, many will choose to buy gifts for their loved ones.

09:29 It can be an exchange gift,

09:31 a gift for their loved ones,

09:33 or a gift for the outreach program this Christmas.

09:36 Some stores here in Divisoria are open 24 hours a day.

09:40 It's still early, but many have already bought gifts for their loved ones in Divisoria.

09:50 The budget is between P100 to P150 per gift.

09:54 We're trying to avoid crowding.

09:57 Later on, there will be a lot of people here.

10:00 Many people buy gifts in the morning.

10:03 It's just a small amount of money to save.

10:08 P100 or P150 is just enough.

10:11 It's an early morning, so everyone is buying cheap gifts.

10:14 It's within the budget.

10:15 Yes.

10:16 Cora will be bringing a Christmas party later.

10:19 Her exchange gift budget is P150.

10:23 She bought a shirt for P100.

10:27 I came early because there will be a lot of people here.

10:31 You can choose what you want.

10:35 It's cheaper.

10:37 You can choose a lot of things.

10:41 There are a lot of clothes to choose from that you can buy for P100.

10:45 There are also children's clothes.

10:47 The same goes for the duster, which has different designs.

10:51 The t-shirt is P120 per piece.

10:54 There are also different kinds of toys for men and women.

10:58 P25 per piece.

11:01 There are also toys like trucks, balls, dolls, and cooking sets.

11:05 There are also snake and ladders and billiards.

11:08 Children's bags are also available for P200.

11:12 Jonel is a Zumba instructor.

11:14 He bought hundreds of toys for their gift giving to street dwellers.

11:19 They also have a feeding program every Christmas.

11:22 When I was a kid, our life wasn't this busy.

11:28 So I try to give back the blessings that we received throughout the year.

11:36 If there's no gift, you can give money to your children.

11:40 The angpaw or red envelope is P25 to P35 for six pieces.

11:46 The new one is the small angpaw for P20.

11:50 That's P35 for 28 pieces.

11:54 This morning, there are a lot of people who will buy.

12:02 But it's not yet the time to open the stores because it's Christmas.

12:08 The best thing for our viewers is to list your gifts at home.

12:16 When it comes to this, you will have a checklist of gifts you will look for.

12:21 That's all the latest from Divisoria, Manila.

12:23 I'm James Agustin for JEMA Integrated News.

12:27 Just a week ago, before the deadline of consolidation of drivers for the PUV modernization program,

12:34 some groups filed a petition to the Supreme Court to stop it.

12:39 We have first news, Salima Refrang.

12:41 Some groups in the Supreme Court are stopping the December 31 deadline for the consolidation of the franchise under the PUV modernization program.

12:57 The Petition for Certiorari and Prohibition, various transport groups and civil society organizations are eating.

13:04 They asked the TRO to fight the deadline set for the New Year's Eve and the cancellation of the franchise visa

13:12 that is not yet consolidated on January 1 of the next year.

13:17 The issuances of DOTR and LTFRB violate many constitutional principles and laws.

13:30 Under our Constitution, everyone has the right to join or not join an organization or association.

13:41 But here, they are forcing us to join a cooperative that violates their rights.

13:47 In the executive orders issued by DOTR, the plan is to remove us from our livelihood.

13:54 That's why we are saying, if the government's intention is to fix our public transport,

14:00 why don't the government build its own industry?

14:06 The Petition also asks to declare the Department of Transportation and Land Transportation and Franchising Regulatory Board, or LTFRB,

14:16 as enemies of the Constitution.

14:21 The Petition also includes Jeepney operators, drivers and commuters, DOTR respondents in the Petition,

14:29 and Secretary Jaime Bautista, who will be the LTFRB and its chairman, Tshofelo Guadix III.

14:36 According to Bautista, they are just following President Bongbong Marcos' orders.

14:40 However, they will be penalized for the Supreme Court's decision.

14:45 We are also waiting for the LTFRB and Guadix to give their statement.

14:49 Here is the first news in Rima na Fran for JMA Integrated News.

14:55 The four new directors of the Maharlika Investment Corporation are now in their positions.

15:00 They are Vicky Castillo-Tan, Andrew Jerome Gan, Herman Licauco and Roman Felipe Reyes.

15:11 As MIC directors, they will help in the creation of the Maharlika Investment Fund.

15:16 The first to be appointed by President Bongbong Marcos is Rafael Consing Jr. as the CEO and president of MIC this November.

15:24 He will use the Maharlika Investment Fund to fund several government projects.

15:31 Christmas is a time of giving.

15:36 This was proven by some people who were worshipping Santa Claus during the Christmas wish list

15:41 of some persons deprived of liberty or PDL in Pasay City Jail.

15:45 Here is the first news in Salim na Fran.

15:51 These people who are inside the Pasay City Jail male dormitory have literally reached the hands of their dreams.

15:59 These Christmas wishes were made by more than 1,000 persons deprived of liberty in the detention facility.

16:05 They were made in the hope that the public will help in fulfilling their wishes this Christmas.

16:12 We have many PDLs who have no relatives.

16:16 We might be able to give them a small amount of money.

16:21 The wishes were made by a law student named Chrissy Diguilla.

16:26 Her wish to help others went viral.

16:31 Even though Christmas is not yet here, the wishes of PDLs are already gone.

16:38 These people are already wish granted by those who are in need.

16:42 If you read the wishes of our PDLs, it is very simple.

16:47 If we can make anyone happy, why can't we make them happy?

16:53 There are many who are in need but there are also many who are willing to give.

16:58 They just don't know.

17:00 Sir, why did you wish for this?

17:03 I have been unable to eat this for a long time. That's why I wished for this.

17:07 Even though it is small for some, it is a big thing for those who are in need.

17:12 More than 1,000 PDLs are now being imprisoned in the prison of Panalangsana for more than 100 persons.

17:20 It is just a small wish written in the wishes of PDLs here in Pasay City Jail.

17:26 Some are asking for donuts, some are asking for mung beans, some are asking for loaf of bread.

17:33 Most of them want fast food.

17:35 We can give them these things so that they can be happy during Christmas.

17:42 But because the wishes here in Pasay City Jail are already gone,

17:45 we can make it for other prisons in our country.

17:50 Not all of us PDLs here are guilty.

17:56 Some of us are just victims. Most of us are just changing.

18:02 This is the first news in the 5th sentence for GMA Integrated News.

18:07 Christmas season is also the most wonderful time of the year for the stars.

18:26 That was the grand raffle of Gabby Garcia in the Christmas Party Kagabesta Team Gabby.

18:32 Of course, the boyfriend, Kahlil Ramos, was also present.

18:35 Gabby looked at some highlights of their party.

18:39 Love Before Sunrise star Bea Alonzo was excited for the gift.

18:43 A Christmas tree bridle was the theme.

18:45 Miss Universe Philippines 2023 Michelle Marquez D. was sizzling like a summer during her vacation in El Nido, Palawan.

18:52 Ken Chan, Jillian Ward, Richard Yap, Carmina Villareal, Pinky Amador, and Kazel Kinuchi were the four dream stars.

18:59 Their groupie was Japan.

19:02 Speaking of Japan, Bianca Manalo was in Tokyo and shared the highlights of their trip.

19:07 Camille Pretz was with her family during their visit to Osaka.

19:11 Japan is the best place.
