00:00 [Gunshots]
00:02 [Whistle]
00:04 We will all be together in this.
00:08 The illegal gun trade in Batangas cost Php 1,500,000.
00:22 Meanwhile, the illegal gun trade in Batangas is a hot topic.
00:30 John Consulta and Jun Veneracion witnessed it.
00:32 When the government paid for the gun trade,
00:38 the PNP Anti-Cybercrime Group surrounded the target of the online seller of the gun
00:43 in an entrapment operation in Caloocan on December 21.
00:46 You are not authorized to sell the gun.
00:49 Another online seller was arrested in a separate operation in Lungsod on December 19.
00:55 Two men were caught carrying an illegal gun,
00:58 like the base.
01:00 We are still trying to get their license.
01:02 Whatever kind of gun,
01:04 it is prohibited to sell online according to the PNP.
01:06 It is difficult to ensure the quality of the gun when selling it online.
01:10 The PNP did not give them a license to sell
01:14 because they do not give the license to those who sell online
01:19 because of safety issues.
01:21 The PNP is under the law.
01:24 The punishment that the seller,
01:27 buyer and the contractor can face is the same.
01:30 The PNP reminds the riders to be careful when delivering.
01:35 The proof of the crime can be faced up to 6 months to 1 year in prison.
01:40 There is a fine of up to P20,000 up to P30,000.
01:45 DTI recommends that you buy a gun with a PNP permit and a business permit
01:50 that is registered in the stores.
01:52 Look for and check the PS mark sticker
01:56 and make sure that the brand is on the list of legal authorized by DTI.
02:01 All imported guns are prohibited.
02:03 The penalty is P25,000 for the seller and up to P300,000 for the manufacturer.
02:10 In Bukawi, Bulacan, the business is strong as the new year approaches.
02:14 Many are prohibited now.
02:16 We only need these that we can buy, the pounds.
02:18 So, the ones that are not too expensive are okay?
02:21 The big fireworks manufacturers in the country are also in full production.
02:25 But the slow income of retailers is causing a lot of supply.
02:29 Last year, our production was low, so they are stealing.
02:36 The small amount of stealing is causing a lot of buying.
02:40 But now, our products are meeting the buyers.
02:46 So, they are being careful now unlike before.
02:49 The illegal fireworks samples were caught as a bad omen to the buyers.
02:53 There are still people who are violating this.
02:57 That's what we are monitoring.
03:00 There are some who are selling underground.
03:04 But if we compare it to the past years,
03:10 our monitors are limited.
03:13 The illegal impact of fireworks is being seen in a house in Santo Tomas, Batangas.
03:21 A powerful firework was caught in the living room.
03:23 And when it entered the room,
03:25 the five-star-star, Sawa, Quetis, and others were found.
03:30 We received an intel report that there is a person in Santo Tomas
03:36 who sells fireworks.
03:38 When we saw this on social media,
03:41 we found out that most of the fireworks are prohibited.
03:45 We tested it and it turned out to be positive.
03:49 The value of the fireworks is estimated to be around half a million pesos.
03:53 Their neighbors will be affected if they don't know how to make fireworks.
03:58 It will explode and there will be a fire.
04:02 So, it will affect their neighbors.
04:04 We are asking for an explanation from the suspects.
04:07 In Cagayan Valley, more than 2,000 pieces of illegal fireworks were destroyed by the Police Regional Office 2.
04:16 DOH reminds that fireworks are not a game and it is still a taco disgrace.
04:21 23 new cases of fireworks-related injuries were reported,
04:25 most of them due to illegal fireworks.
04:28 Two were added to the need to cut their fingers due to the fireworks they set off.
04:34 Because of that, 75 fireworks-related injuries were reported in the country in total.
04:39 For GMA Integrated News, John Consulta.
04:43 June Veneration, we are your witnesses.
04:46 From morning to night, the traffic was full of traffic due to the closure of Ed Sarojas Boulevard flyover northbound.
04:55 Jaime Santos is a witness live.
04:57 Jaime, how are you?
04:59 After resting and enjoying with his family during this long Christmas break,
05:10 the motorists continued to create heavy traffic due to the closure of Ed Sarojas Boulevard northbound flyover.
05:17 The motorists continued to cause a ruckus.
05:20 Bumper to bumper traffic were the vehicles that we caught earlier in Rush Hour.
05:28 In the part of Rojas Boulevard, those are the vehicles from Capitex to Manila.
05:34 The traffic was heavy due to the closure of Ed Sarojas Boulevard flyover northbound lane.
05:39 That traffic reached Capitex.
05:42 In addition to the heavy traffic, the vehicles from Service Road were also coming out of Rojas Boulevard.
05:49 The northbound lane of the flyover was closed yesterday for the repair and rehabilitation that will last until December 13.
05:57 Expansion joints were installed to reduce the risk of a collision if a big vehicle passes by.
06:04 There was an announcement in Bucana before the flyover was lifted to find an alternative route for the motorists.
06:12 But the motorists who were caught in the traffic that we talked to were angry.
06:16 They did not know about the closure of the flyover.
06:19 It's a big problem because the traffic should not be like this instead of going home immediately.
06:25 Who is really doing that? There's no news.
06:28 They didn't say that it will be closed immediately.
06:31 Traffic is really heavy here.
06:34 The motorist we talked to came from Pangasinan.
06:38 He said that he will take his son to an amusement park in Pasay.
06:42 It's already 7 in the evening and they are still in Rojas Boulevard.
06:46 This is my son. He's already here for the rides.
06:49 He's not here. What time is it?
06:51 What time did you get the traffic, sir?
06:53 3.30
06:54 It's only 3.30?
06:55 Yes.
06:56 And he's still here?
06:57 Yes.
06:58 He said that he was already worried about the closure of the flyover.
07:01 We are still here at 12.
07:03 There's no abiso, no everything, which is supposedly, they should have done abiso or whatever.
07:09 They should have done that after New Year.
07:11 I hope that they know that it's holiday season and they didn't follow the procedure.
07:16 Look at the perversion of the motorist that they did.
07:19 How many hours did you get the traffic?
07:21 We've been here for a while, it's 2 o'clock.
07:23 We even got a passenger jeep that was damaged after a few hours of traffic.
07:29 We even got cement for the expansion joints.
07:38 It will take a day for it to dry completely.
07:41 And live from Pasay, for GMA Integrated News, Jaime Santos is your witness.
07:49 An airport employee is looking for and investigating a person who helped to stop the victims of human trafficking
07:56 who were able to enter the airport.
07:58 Witness to 5 references.
08:00 Immigration was suspicious of the passengers who were asking for directions to their friends who are tourists who are going to Thailand.
08:12 They eventually admitted that they don't know each other and were recruited by the household help in Dubai.
08:19 They also taught them how to help them enter the airport that was captured on CCTV.
08:26 An airport employee with a high level access pass to enter the immigration area.
08:32 First, they brought these passengers to Diplomat Lane.
08:37 When they were accosted by our immigration supervisor, they went to the regular counter.
08:45 The escort remained in the area.
08:47 They were forced to stay in the area and monitor the status of the two passengers who were being assisted.
08:57 The victims of trafficking were immediately rescued by IACAT.
09:01 The airport employee is now being searched and the investigation of MIA is also subject.
09:06 It is now a controlled area, a restricted area from immigration.
09:11 Access to that particular area is very limited.
09:16 We will not tolerate this.
09:19 And whoever is involved here, an MIA employee, has a sufficient punishment if they can be proven.
09:26 They can be removed from work here at MIA and they will lose the benefits that should be given to them.
09:35 The immigration is also being coordinated with the airport authorities
09:39 to find out who they are, what they are doing there,
09:43 and if their official visit to the immigration area is official.
09:48 And they will be investigated if there is a need for a sanction.
09:55 The Department of Justice also ordered the NBI to investigate the incident.
10:00 Here is an integrated view of the scene of the incident.
10:05 Even on the weekend of the holiday, the Office of Transportation Cooperatives
10:10 is open for those who are chasing the consolidation of public vehicles on the December 31 deadline.
10:17 This is Joseph Moro.
10:19 The former jeepney driver is now a tricycle driver.
10:26 But Aljor is hesitating because the previous 500 pesos he earned from the jeepney
10:30 is now only 300 to 400 pesos.
10:33 I am really looking for a way to make my family live.
10:38 Mang Randy does not know what to do in the new year if the jeepney cannot be used.
10:43 I will look for another way to make a living.
10:46 His group has already filed for consolidation but they do not have a paper that it is already approved.
10:51 According to LTFRB, after the December 31 deadline,
10:54 those who were not able to consolidate will be considered as the "francisa"
10:58 who lost their visas since January 1, 2024.
11:02 In Davao City, some members of the Transmission Pistons protested
11:11 as part of the Modernization Program.
11:13 According to LTFRB, 7 out of every 10 jeepneys in Metro Manila,
11:18 or more than 30,000, are not consolidated.
11:21 According to the group, no commuters can ride in many routes when the new year comes.
11:27 The Transportation Department said that the public can ride in enough routes when 2024 comes
11:33 and can help the local governments after the December 31 consolidation deadline.
11:39 The consolidated units will be allowed to apply for special permits
11:43 to pass through routes without consolidation.
11:46 According to DOTR, according to their data, all the main routes in NCR already have consolidated units.
11:53 They said that other public vehicles will be allowed to run through them.
11:56 The Office of Transportation Cooperatives said that they will wait for the hubbles to consolidate
12:01 even if the holiday will be on the 31st of December.
12:03 We hope that there will be more hubbles because the only way to avoid hubbles
12:09 is to not be able to pass through or work after December 31.
12:15 So we are open. LTFRB, OTIS, we are open up to December 31.
12:21 For GMA Integrated News, Joseph Morong is your witness.
12:24 Different markets in Manila were inspected.
12:30 The Baco Talipapa, Blumenthrie Talipapa, and Altura Market in Sampalong were included in the Manila Veterinary Inspection Board.
12:38 According to the board's director, no one was caught robbing.
12:41 Before that, the video of the thieves who were packing pork in a stall in Talipapa, Baco, went viral.
12:49 When GMA Integrated News returned the stall earlier, the store was still closed and no one owned it.
12:55 The case of Chicungunya in the Philippines was raised by almost 400% compared to 2022.
13:04 According to the DOH, from 593 cases in January to November of 2022, it reached 2,854 this year.
13:17 In Asia, it is the second Philippines with the most reported cases, followed by India, which is at number one.
13:24 Chicungunya is a viral disease caused by the disease called Ages-Egypti, which is also caused by dengue.
13:31 They have the same symptoms of fever, headache, cold, and cough, weakness, and rash on the skin.
13:40 For GMA Integrated News, Mark Salazar, your witness.
13:46 There are fruits that fell in Divisoria five days before the meeting in 2024.
13:53 Witness Tina Pangaliban Perez.
13:59 Ubas costs only P150 per kilo before Christmas here in Divisoria, Manila, but now it's P200.
14:07 And the price of fruits will increase like that as the new year approaches.
14:13 When will it increase? P29?
14:15 Like that, P29, P30.
14:17 It's big in one box because it's raised P100. Sometimes, it's P200.
14:21 If it's expensive in Ubas, there are P300-P400, like the Pongcan, US Red Apple, and Kiwi.
14:29 The Fuji Apple, P440.
14:32 The Lemon, P3450.
14:34 There are also Chico and Nalandan, which are P101.
14:38 You can buy one by one, especially if you're saving or just completing 12 or 13 fruits for midnight as a snack.
14:48 If you don't want to hassle, you can customize fruit baskets in Santa Elena Street here in Divisoria.
14:55 There are P2,500, there are also P1,000 up to P1,500, depending on the number of fruits.
15:03 Since Christmas, we have already ordered fruit baskets.
15:07 We have local ones because this is more unimported, so it's more pricey compared to the local ones.
15:15 In Tabora Street, the fruit sales are still high.
15:19 Maybe because of the hard life, it's important to put something on the table,
15:24 to see the circle, to have a family gathering.
15:27 Maybe this is enough, this is enough for the family.
15:31 But if there are people who are short on budget, there are customers who are spending a lot for the fruit baskets.
15:39 I'm completing 12, not 12 as much as possible, because there are more blessings.
15:45 There are also other kinds of luck.
15:49 Aside from the round fruits, there are also other things you can find.
15:52 Chocolate, there's a dollar, you can buy it.
15:57 Yes, what else can you find?
15:59 Round and there's this.
16:01 For GMA Integrated News, I'm Pina Panganiban Perez, your witness.
16:08 In the last round, a woman was given a chance to celebrate in Quezon.
16:13 Her grave was a party. Our witness.
16:17 Game face on. The prizes are ready.
16:26 There are also gifts.
16:31 And there's a paraffle, but wait.
16:34 Why is there a coffin?
16:36 It's a gift from Tita Lily of Raygan.
16:39 One more, you should be energetic.
16:41 Okay, and because of that, I'll give you 500.
16:46 Because Tita Lily's ability is that she just wants to be happy, she doesn't want to be sad.
16:53 She's been not okay for a few months, she's having a hard time because of her condition.
16:57 That's why she told us, let's just be happy.
17:04 Even in the village, the people are happy.
17:13 I really played, I played.
17:19 For my other aunt, who is older than me,
17:26 it's not that hard when Tita Lily is buried, she gets hurt a lot.
17:33 Lily died of complications of cancer.
17:39 Netizens were amazed by the unique way she was cared for,
17:43 moreover, the heart of her family was left.
17:46 She helped me in my studies, so I owe her a lot.
17:52 She's very helpful, very caring, she's really a mother to us.
17:58 It's not that she's not kind when Lily is not around,
18:03 but her last wish helped her to ease her feelings.
18:08 I'm lucky to her because she doesn't really consider me as her son,
18:11 but she considered me as her son.
18:13 We are like siblings, so if I can help her, I'm sure she'll have a lot of good stories.
18:19 For GMA Integrated News, your Bona Kino, Sak-C.
