00:03 Live from the GMA Network Center, this is 24 Horas.
00:09 [music]
00:12 Good evening Luzon, Visayas and Mindanao.
00:16 This is the 20th anniversary of 24 Horas.
00:19 Because the news is not sleeping.
00:22 [news report]
00:42 [music]
00:45 This viral video was posted on social media by the LGBTQIA+ group Baghari.
00:51 According to the group, what you can see in the video are two transgender students of IRIS
00:55 or Ulojo Amang Rodriguez Institute of Science and Technology in Manila
01:00 who were forced to get a haircut because of the school police about the length of their hair.
01:05 It is stated in their student handbook that long hair is prohibited for men.
01:10 That's why it says, "No haircut, no enrollment."
01:13 Jen, her real name, was forced to get a haircut of her long hair just to enroll.
01:20 Someone asked me why I got a haircut, why my hair became like that.
01:25 I was so sad at that time that I couldn't eat. I cried every night.
01:32 [chanting]
01:41 Earlier, a protest was held by transgender students of IRIS, a state college or public school.
01:49 They burned the student handbook about the length of their hair for men.
01:55 They shouted, "Aside from the fact that long hair is not allowed in school,
01:59 trans women students should not be considered as men."
02:03 We need a fixed cut or 2x3 haircut.
02:08 It is so sad especially since we know ourselves as women.
02:13 The discrimination against LGBT is so high that students here in IRIS are being harassed.
02:18 They were bounded by the Manila City Ordinance of Manila
02:21 because Manila has an anti-discrimination ordinance that is clearly violated by IRIS.
02:26 According to the Commission on Higher Education,
02:28 the college and students need to talk to each other to give a solution to the issue.
02:33 What the student handbook does is not the commission, but the university.
02:37 When it is done and reviewed, there should be a consultation with the students
02:43 and a discussion on what the students want and the position of the administration.
02:50 The key is the dialogue must be open between the different education stakeholders
02:56 so that they can find common ground.
02:58 In the official statement of IRIS, signed by Dr. Rogelio Mamaradlo, the president of the college,
03:04 all students can enroll for the second SEM, whatever their hair and hair length.
03:10 It should be that those with long hair should be groomed and shaved.
03:16 They also held a meeting with the leaders of the IRIS chapter
03:21 where they agreed to discuss the new implementing rules and regulations on enrollment.
03:27 Yesterday, in the regular session of the Manila City Council,
03:30 some councilors said that those who disobeyed the City Ordinance 8695
03:36 or the Anti-Discrimination Ordinance of the City should be punished.
03:39 For GMI Integrated News, Ian Cruz, 24 Hours.
03:43 Residents who voted against the reclamation protested vigorously
03:49 which is affecting fishermen and fishermen.
03:53 A gay owner is now issuing an order to ban it.
03:57 Chino Gaston is on the case.
04:00 Go to the sea wall in the neighborhood of the residents who voted
04:05 and call for the ban of the Manila Bay reclamation in the area
04:09 which is affecting the livelihood of fishermen and fishermen who voted.
04:14 Reclamation! Reclamation!
04:16 No more! No more! No more!
04:20 From the sea wall, look at the piles of stones and land that will be used for the reclamation.
04:26 Almost 6 hectares of land will be reclaimed or will be used for the reclamation
04:31 according to the Department of Environment and Natural Resources
04:35 to build commercial areas and roads as part of the way to the airport in Bulacan.
04:42 Danny Pablo has received a notice to remove the gay and the prostitute he is looking for in his parents.
04:49 Despite the protestors' desire for the reclamation, they hope that...
04:53 I hope they won't remove the gay because that's what we're hoping for.
04:57 If they remove it, we'll be given a place where we can...
05:01 ...in Bulacan, the Manila International Airport...
05:04 ...that's what we're hoping for.
05:06 But the Navotas Agriculture Office said in the notice
05:09 that it did not follow the permit and violation of the Supreme Court's order in 2008
05:14 on the rehabilitation and cleaning of Manila Bay.
05:17 We've been hoping for a year.
05:19 One of the beaches is gone. Almost all the big beaches are being caught.
05:24 According to the Navotas Police, who were watching the protest,
05:28 there was no order to remove the gay residents.
05:32 The gay people are illegal structures.
05:34 That's why they were given notices to self-demolish.
05:40 The meeting for the actual operation of the clearing is ongoing.
05:45 Aside from the residents, the group of protestors also affected the reclamation of the environment.
05:51 We tried to talk to the people of City Hall, but they can't face us today.
05:57 For GMA Integrated News, Chino Gaston, 24 Hours.
06:02 A warning to motorists, today is payday Friday.
06:06 Traffic can be affected.
06:09 The transfer of the tunnel boring machine that will be used for the Metro Manila Subway Project.
06:14 The situation in some parts of EDSA is being targeted by the government.
06:19 Ivan.
06:20 Yes, Vicky, there's usually traffic on Fridays.
06:27 But today, the traffic is extra heavy because it's payday Friday.
06:31 And tonight, the transfer of the tunnel boring machine from the port area in Manila
06:37 to the camp Aguinaldo Station of the Metro Manila Subway Project.
06:44 It was just 3 o'clock in the afternoon, the traffic in EDSA Southbound was heavy
06:52 in the area before the Santolan flyover.
06:54 Parts of Portigas will be empty, but it will be heavy again.
06:58 When it comes to Boni to Guadalupe.
07:00 The daily average of the passersby in EDSA is around 400,000.
07:05 But every payday Friday, there are more.
07:08 Payday Friday, the number of motorists traveling is increasing,
07:11 not only in EDSA but also in our major torofiers.
07:16 At 9 o'clock tonight, the transfer of the tunnel boring machine from Manila Harbor Center in Manila
07:22 to Camp Aguinaldo Station in Quezon City will start.
07:25 From Manila Harbor, it will pass through Road 10, G. Araneta, E. Rodriguez Senior Avenue, Gilmore Avenue,
07:32 Colonel Boni Serrano, and the Metro Manila Subway Project Camp Aguinaldo Station will end.
07:38 The Department of Transportation and MMDA avoided those routes between 9 o'clock tonight
07:43 until 4 o'clock early tomorrow or a total of 7 hours of travel.
07:48 There will be road closures, counter flow on the routes.
07:52 There are 7 meters wide and 4 meters high in the parts of the machine that will be transported in oversized trucks.
07:58 Motorists are asking those who might be affected to find alternative routes.
08:03 MMDA has already carried out clearing operations on the route earlier and they will make another passage tonight
08:08 to make sure that there is no obstruction or obstacle in the passage of the tunnel boring machine.
08:14 We have already cleared the streets of the illegal parking, obstruction, even the sidewalks.
08:21 All parking there as much as possible, even later, we are just limiting it.
08:27 [Traffic noise]
08:31 [Speaking in Tagalog]
08:56 Happy weekend, Vicky!
08:58 Happy weekend and thank you very much, Ivan Mayrina!
09:01 [Music]
09:03 Happy 20th anniversary in 24 hours!
09:06 It's been two decades since you've been delivering the hottest news and I'm one of the ones who's always on the top.
09:13 Congratulations, Aunt Mel, Miss Vicky, Emil, and to everyone who made 24 hours possible.
09:18 Miss Mel, me, Emil, Miss Vicky, Kuya Kim, Martin, and of course Aunt Mel, happy, happy anniversary to you in 24 hours.
09:27 [Music]
09:29 During the President's visit, the support in the Philippines, the Czech Republic, also expressed its support
09:35 when it comes to the free travel of passengers in the West Philippine Sea.
09:39 The leaders of the two countries also discussed the growing opportunity there for the Filipinos.
09:45 And from the Czech Republic, Rafi Klimas was on the show.
09:48 [Music]
09:52 Czech President Peter Pavel first offered arrival honors for President Bongbong Marcos in Prague Castle,
09:57 along with the First Lady and the leaders of our Congress.
10:00 After that, President Marcos encouraged the businessmen there to move to the Philippines.
10:05 I'm optimistic that we will be able to attract more Czech traders and investors to do business with the Philippines.
10:12 As a result of this increased engagement between our respective business sectors.
10:18 The two leaders also discussed the growing opportunity for the Filipino workers in the Czech Republic.
10:24 Since May, the OFW will allow almost double the number of workers who will enter the Czech Republic.
10:29 Not only because they have a great need for skilled workers, but they also need the support of the Filipino workers.
10:36 Like Germany, the two leaders also discussed the West Philippine Sea.
10:40 [Chanting]
10:42 We fully support the Philippines when it comes to their entitlement to free movement of goods and also marine transport.
10:52 Because that's a principle that not only we all respect, but which also secures global and regional stability.
11:01 Even though the South China Sea is far from Europe, it is said that any movement here will have a great impact on the global economy.
11:08 This is also what President Marcos said in their meeting with US Secretary of State Antony Blinken next week.
11:15 The South China Sea is important to international trade.
11:19 Close to 60% of international trade goes through that channel.
11:26 We hope to continue these discussions with an eye not to winning any kind of conflict, but really just to maintain the peace
11:41 and to continue to defend the sovereignty and the sovereign rights of the Philippines.
11:47 From Prague in the Czech Republic, for GMI Integrated News, Rafi Tima, 24 Hours.
11:55 The President's satisfaction rating this December increased compared to the next quarter, according to the survey of the Social Weather Station.
12:02 The net satisfaction rating of +47 is considered good by President Bongbong Marcos.
12:08 It is higher by 3 points than his rating in September 2023,
12:12 where 65% of Filipinos are satisfied or content with the President's performance.
12:19 17% are undecided and 18% are not satisfied.
12:23 The President's satisfaction rating also increased in all places except Mindanao, where it dropped by 12 points.
12:31 Happy 20th anniversary, 24 Hours.
12:36 I am so proud of you. Congratulations to all who are making 24 Hours and GMI Integrated News.
12:42 Happy 20th anniversary to 24 Hours.
12:46 Let's continue the service to our Filipinos.
12:50 I'm a big fan of your work in the whole team of 24 Hours.
12:54 Dear fellow Filipinos, to those who are planning to do something for the weekend, this is the time to do it.
13:06 There is no storm or bad weather that can possibly cause or enter the Philippine Area of Responsibility.
13:13 The storm is a part of the storm, so the effect of the shear line is gone.
13:18 The country will continue to suffer from the severe weather and the Easter Lease will be held on a hot day.
13:25 But aside from the bright sun and the sunshine, we should also prepare for the possible rain.
13:31 Based on the weather forecast, there is a chance of rain tomorrow in Cordillera, Zambales, Bataan, Isabela, Aurora and Mindoro provinces.
13:41 The weather is almost the same on Sundays, but there are some places that will also be rainy in Palawan and Bicol region.
13:48 In Metro Manila, the umbrella will still be carried if the house will be exposed because the rain is possible in the afternoon or night, as experienced earlier.
13:57 There are also chances of rain in Visayas tomorrow, as expected in Samar and Leyte provinces, Aklan, Capiz, Negros provinces and Cebu.
14:06 The weather will gradually improve on Sundays because the rain will be lessened.
14:12 For the people of Mindanao, the weather is clear this weekend, except for some parts of Caraga and Davao region.
14:19 Captain's Peak Resort is possible to face punishment because of its operation without an Environmental Compliance Certificate.
14:28 DNR is also looking for other structures and land for the Chocolate Hills if there are sufficient documents and compliance with the regulations.
14:36 Sandra Aguinaldo has the latest.
14:38 DNR or Department of Environment and Natural Resources is now investigating the 150 million years of tectonic activity on Bohol Island as part of the Chocolate Hills.
14:56 The island is known as UNESCO Geopark.
15:00 While the Bohol residents, as many as the residents of a resort, have declared it a National Geological Monument.
15:09 That's why the DNR initiated the Season Deceased Order on Captain's Peak Resort to guard it and not to be opened.
15:18 Although it is in a protected area, the DNR recognizes that the resort is in a titled property and the Captain's Peak is in a multiple-use zone.
15:28 It means that it can be built but it needs to follow the regulations.
15:32 The DNR also clarified that the clearance given by the Protected Area Management Board has conditions.
15:39 It should have an Environmental Compliance Certificate or ECC.
15:44 The resort applied for this but the DNR still hasn't given it.
15:49 That's why it should not have been given a building and business permit.
15:53 The issue is does it have an ECC or not. That's the issue.
15:59 It's not a surprise to the LGU that it doesn't have one.
16:05 The ECC also includes the steps that should be done while a project is being done to prevent the bad effects on the environment.
16:15 Apart from not having an ECC, there are other possible violations including the potential for example for the damage to the environment through the release of say wastewater and other types of solid waste management challenges.
16:33 In the violation of the resort, they may be fined with prison and fine.
16:38 Minimum of one million to five million pesos maximum for criminal liability.
16:48 There is a minimum of six years to a maximum of 12 years imprisonment for putting up structures without the appropriate permits within the protected area.
17:04 We listened to the reaction of the municipality of Sagbayan but they have no response about this.
17:09 But they said that they did not receive a closure order from the DNR that was initiated in September 2023.
17:18 What we need to do is work very closely in fact with the LGUs because whoever is giving the business permit,
17:26 we need to confirm that there is a proper permit being in the protected area.
17:34 If the ECC cannot give the resort, can it be demolished?
17:39 This is not an illegal occupation, this is a private property and they have the right to put the structures.
17:48 This needs to be studied.
17:50 But there are other structures and violations in Chocolate Hills that the DNR Environment Management Bureau is also looking into if there are sufficient documents and it follows the regulations.
18:01 For example, the Bud Agda in Tambuan, Carmen Bohol, which has a pier and view deck that was built by one of the burros.
18:10 It is still open in 2021 and the owner of this building has asked for a clearance from the ECC and PAMBI.
18:18 The municipality of Carmen is still checking if this is true.
18:21 The governor will call for a meeting to clarify this.
18:25 If you see the captain's peak in Sagmayan, I think it's the same story that the ECC is not following.
18:37 I have recently learned that the original DNR and its private property are not allowed to carry light materials. That is a violation of the policy of PAMBI.
18:57 Again, the problem in Tambuan is the actions of the Japanese DNR.
19:05 For GMA Integrated News, Sandra Aguinaldo, Rakatutok, 24 Hours.
19:10 To Ms. Mel, Ms. Vicky and Sir Emil, happy anniversary for 24 Hours.
19:17 Thank you for giving us the right news. Long live to you. Happy anniversary to 24 Hours.
19:24 Happy 20th anniversary to 24 Hours for continuing to give news to our country. Thank you very much.
19:34 Thank you for continuing to give us important news.
19:41 I am proud and will always be happy to be part of your family.
19:46 The complainant filed a complaint to the Justice Department, vlogger and businesswoman CXL Sebastian.
19:54 This is followed by the complaint of the victims of a junket investment scam.
20:00 Rakatutok is John Consulta.
20:04 Their documents are bit-bit.
20:06 The complaint was filed by 30 victims of the scam and by the National Bureau of Investigation, CXL Sebastian, in the Department of Justice.
20:14 Both of them were involved in the scam of the Syndicate in Istafa and Securities and Regulation Code.
20:19 The complainant was charged with a million pesos in 2023 for a junket investment scam.
20:28 The ship's chef, Mike, invested 700,000 pesos.
20:33 After Sebastian earned a lot of money, he bought new cars and earned a 5 percent profit.
20:41 When there was a problem with the investment, Sebastian tried to sign a new contract but they didn't agree.
20:48 I will earn 700,000 pesos, which is 35,000 pesos monthly for the whole year based on the contract.
20:56 After the contract, they will return the 700,000 pesos.
21:00 What is the guarantee that we will earn and return our money?
21:03 He told us that the properties he showed us, they will sell their toys until the money is complete.
21:13 It's bit-by-bit but what happened is they hid the other properties.
21:17 Aside from the fact that there is no secondary permit, the Securities and Exchange Commission or SEC
21:22 signed a loan agreement with the investors to issue a loan and not an investment of their money to the group.
21:29 But according to the NBI, Sebastian will not use it to avoid criminal liability.
21:35 We are being sustained by the definition of securities under the revised Securities and Regulations Code
21:42 that any evidence of indebtedness is also a form of security or evidence of security.
21:48 So because of this, it is clear that there was a committed syndicated staff.
21:53 It was not an investment but the company made a loan to the people who were their victims.
22:01 Because of the high number of complainants, the NBI divided the cases into three batches.
22:06 If the other batches are included, the victims will receive up to Php 50 billion.
22:12 Aside from OFWs and employees, there are also politicians, celebrities and businessmen.
22:18 They will chase the victims and their associates even if they are in other countries.
22:22 The amount involved here, from the last time we had a competition, reached Php 50 billion.
22:29 We will be utilizing that process of the law to arrest them.
22:32 We will also be filing a potential case of violation of the Anti-Money Laundering Act.
22:37 A reminder from the NBI.
22:39 One red flag is that if the return of investment or the interest offered is really high,
22:46 in this case, 5 to 10 percent, if they saw that, it means they avoided it.
22:51 We are still trying to get Sebastian's money.
22:54 But in the posts of Sebastian, he said that he was just a victim because he also invested,
23:01 just like the complainants.
23:02 For GMA Integrated News, John Consulta, 24 Hours is on.
23:08 Tita Mel, Vicky, Emil, and to everyone inside the studio, to everyone who is building 24 Hours,
23:17 Happy 20th Anniversary.
23:19 Happy, happy 20th Anniversary, 24 Hours. Congratulations to you and more power.
23:26 To everyone who is building 24 Hours, 24 Hours is on, I am almost at my chica minute, I am ready.
23:34 God bless everybody.
23:36 To everyone who is building 24 Hours, Happy Anniversary and thank you so much for your service.
23:43 You are number one.
23:45 In the continuous pursuit of Pogo Hub in Tarlac,
23:50 they discovered a few items that can help them to avoid various types of scams.
23:54 At the same time, they also investigated a few foreigners who are sick and imprisoned two Pogo workers.
24:00 Salima Refran was on the scene.
24:02 At first glance, Sunyuan Technology is a fancy office complex in Bamban, Tarlac,
24:10 which was once owned by the Presidential Anti-Organized Crime Commission of PAOC.
24:15 But according to PAOC, inside the vast and modern Pogo Hub,
24:19 the operation of various modes is complicated.
24:22 Like Love Scam, Cryptocurrency Scam, and even Human Trafficking.
24:27 In the continuous pursuit of the compound,
24:29 hundreds of cellphones and various gadgets were discovered in a barracks, including SIM cards.
24:36 There are many cellphones, maybe hundreds of cellphones that you can see there,
24:42 which are connected to SIM cards that are full of fake identities.
24:47 Love Scam, Romance Scam, Task Scams, and Cryptocurrency Scams.
24:53 The studio also discovered equipment and wigs used in Love Scam.
25:00 According to a Malaysian national who was with the rescued from the compound,
25:05 he is one of the illegal immigrants who were hired by the company through Love Scam.
25:11 I already love and it's already continued the relationship by maybe the boyfriends, girlfriends,
25:18 and then personal how much they have.
25:21 Like first maybe top up for 50Ks.
25:24 Nearly 40 cars were also recovered that are used in illegal activities.
25:31 They are changing the plates.
25:33 Obviously, there are people who are doing this.
25:35 So we will investigate more deeply.
25:38 Meanwhile, five Chinese, two Vietnamese, and one Filipino are being inquested for serious illegal detention and human trafficking.
25:46 They were later put behind bars and put in jail by two Pogo workers who became the bait to start the raid.
25:53 This is a fight in the Philippines.
25:55 He was taught as one of the recruiters by the guys of recruiting them for legitimate work.
26:01 When they came here, they forced these people to become scammers.
26:06 Meanwhile, the Vietnamese who were being rescued by the Pogo Hub are subject to follow-up operations.
26:12 We are still looking for foreign nationals who are supposed to be rescued on the first day.
26:20 But we didn't see them.
26:23 They probably were escaped because they know that this is what will happen to them.
26:29 A news report from the management of the admin building in February has been released.
26:36 It says that the Pogo Hub is being used as a source of information for the torture incident.
26:39 All employees in Pogo have no OJEL or Offshore Gaming Employee License.
26:46 All of them are illegal workers in Pogo.
26:49 Meanwhile, some Filipinos who are not included in the Pogo Hub are being sent home.
26:57 For GMA Integrated News, Salima Rafra, Nakatutok, 24 Horas.
27:02 Pastor Apollo Quibuloy's camp has already surrendered after being denied his show-couse order by the Senate.
27:09 He refused to answer to the calls of the people in Umunoi.
27:12 He is being abused by some members of his religious group.
27:15 The camp's gate has been closed.
27:17 The pastor has no time to answer to the calls of the people because he was accused of committing a guilty sacrifice.
27:23 The camp will wait for the Senate to give its decision before taking the next step.
27:28 Senator Riza Ontiveros has already asked Senate President Juan Miguel Azubirre to approve the warrant of arrest against Quibuloy.
27:35 Meanwhile, in the case of Umunoi, the smnay's breach of the franchise.
27:39 The contempt order of the camera against Quibuloy has been effective since Monday.
27:44 They did not respond to their investigation of the issue.
27:47 The three-day suspension of the attorney, Ferdinand Topacio, has already passed so that the pastor can talk.
27:53 Topacio said that he is already in contact with the camera committee.
27:57 I promise you that the results of his contact with the pastor will be revealed.
28:02 Global Fashion Icon, Harty Banghalista has boldly shared his recent struggles in his personal life and career.
28:13 In addition, he has a desire to have a baby and the result of his very tired fashion week.
28:19 Nelson Canas will talk about it.
28:21 Global Fashion Icon, Harty Banghalista is slaying every look and every outfit in his recent fashion week in Milan, Italy and Paris, France.
28:35 But behind the glamour, the struggle is real for Harty.
28:39 He said that at one point, he even died.
28:43 I feel like this is my fashion week, this is the time when I was really exhausted.
28:49 I even died because I was so tired.
28:52 Harty admitted that his schedule was packed.
28:55 He said that he is in hustle mode while working.
28:58 But he also knows that health is wealth.
29:01 But it also kind of goes back to how you should again take care of yourself.
29:06 I love to work, I am very passionate in my work but at the end of the day, we should be healthy.
29:11 Speaking of struggles, Harty couldn't stop crying in his past talk with Boy Abunda.
29:16 He revealed his difficult experience earlier before their second wedding of Mr. Senator Cheese Escudero.
29:24 We were expecting a baby actually.
29:26 I wasn't pregnant but I was expecting my only girl that I had left, eggs.
29:32 So at that time, I thought I was gonna make it but she didn't.
29:36 So that one is a bit hard for me because, my God, it's hard.
29:41 So yeah, I was really preparing for her.
29:45 So I really thought that I was gonna have a baby at that time.
29:48 And I felt like with everything that we went through, it was finally gonna happen but it didn't.
29:52 There's something better planned.
29:54 We'll just wait for that.
29:56 Despite the pain and hardship, Hart said he's still blessed in a different way.
30:02 Hart believes that life will always be better just like their relationship with Senator Cheese.
30:09 As you mature in marriage, you really value your relationship, your partnership.
30:15 Everything is good because before we got married for the very first time,
30:19 I was very sure that he was the one that I really wanted to spend my life with.
30:23 Wherever life takes me as you grow as a person, he's the one.
30:28 For now, Hart is contented and he's excited for the surprises that life is giving him.
30:35 And this 2024, it seems that there will be a new beginning for his first love, acting.
30:42 I have a really good relationship with, of course, my family in GMA.
30:46 And we're very picky on what kind of story line we can do.
30:51 I have a few wedding story lines.
30:53 I have a few stories that I personally want to work on.
30:57 It's really a miss.

31:02 More than 20 people of the National Food Authority and NFA returned to work
31:08 who were first suspended by the Ombudsman.
31:11 Suspension was revoked because the investigators of the Ombudsman
31:15 did not have the documents they needed to investigate the misappropriation and non-bidding of NFA buffer stock
31:23 to the traders who were bribed.
31:25 They will also receive the salary for the time they were suspended.
31:29 Even now, the investigation continues to be in a mess according to the Ombudsman.
31:34 The Agriculture Department was pleased with the decision.
31:37 President Bongbong Marcos responded to the new statement of China
31:42 that the Philippines is in a mess with the continuation of the issue of cow dung in the West Philippine Sea.
31:47 I don't know of any instance where the Philippines has instigated anything.
31:58 We have a survey that was published in the Trust.
32:07 Following that, the discussion of the issue of the West Philippine Sea in Berlin, Germany,
32:12 which was first visited by the President.
32:13 He also discussed it in his state visit to the Czech Republic,
32:16 in his conversation with the President of the Czech Republic.
32:19 He said that the issue of Ukraine and Russia is in conflict with what is happening now
32:23 between the Philippines and China in the West Philippine Sea.
32:26 In the continuation of his visit there,
32:29 the Philippines and the Czech Republic signed three agreements.
32:32 The President will show his last activity in the Philippine community there
32:36 before he leaves for the Philippines tonight.
32:39 Meanwhile, the "Economic Charter Change" that is being pushed through the camera
32:45 cannot be questioned in the Supreme Court.
32:48 According to a retired justice,
32:50 some groups will try to push the issue of cow dung through the People's Initiative.
32:56 Tina Panganiban Perez was on the scene.
33:01 Some groups are already asking for the "Economic Charter Change" to be questioned in the Supreme Court
33:06 when it passes through the Congress.
33:08 In the camera, only one person was able to read the RBH 7 in the next week
33:14 while the RBH 6 was still in the Senate Committee.
33:18 But an ex-minister of the Supreme Court said
33:21 that the issue cannot be raised if only the camera approves it.
33:29 That's why some groups who are supporting the People's Initiative
33:32 are continuing to seek signatures.
33:56 But even if the "Economic Charter Change" does not pass through the Congress,
34:00 groups who support the "Economic Charter Change" will try again.
34:03 For GMA Integrated News, Tina Panganiban Perez,
34:24 "Tutok" 24 Hours.
34:27 Meanwhile, tonight, let us thank you for your 20 years of continuing "24 Hours" in your homes.
34:37 "Tutok" started on this very day in 2004
34:41 by Mike Enriquez and of course, our true heart, Mel Tiangco.
34:48 Dear viewers, you have been with us for 20 years
34:54 to watch the stories of Filipinos.
34:57 You are our inspiration in sharing reliable news
35:03 in the country's leading newscast.
35:06 So starting now and in the next few weeks,
35:10 we will be bringing you the two decades of news stories that have shaped our history.
35:19 Let us start with the very first day of "Tutok" 24 Hours.
35:25 24 Hours
35:29 For 20 years, the news is on every night.
35:36 "Welcome to the GMA Network Center. Here is the most respected, most trusted, Mel Tiangco, Mike Enriquez."
35:45 "Good evening, this is "24 Hours."
35:49 "Because the news is not sleeping."
35:51 "Vice is clear now."
35:53 The idea was brought up by Mel Tiangco of the current primetime newscast, "Front Page."
36:01 "Dear friends, not only the guests but also the viewers are invited to watch."
36:06 From GMA Chairman, Felipe L. Gozon.
36:12 "I really thought of that. I suggested it.
36:16 And thank God, the viewers accepted it.
36:22 They liked it. That's one of the reasons why 24 Hours was number one."
36:30 "Oh, I thought Mike Enriquez would be my partner.
36:34 Oh, it's shaking.
36:37 Even behind the camera, the challenge is big for the first 24 Hours.
36:45 "Mike Enriquez and Mel Tiangco.
36:49 So we need to be hardworking and hardworking in giving content to our fellowmen.
36:57 Because the most credible people in the industry are already there."
37:00 Just on the first day of March 15, 2004, 24 Hours was already awake.
37:09 The change in the face of the news.
37:13 It was highlighted during the important transition in history.
37:22 It was the time of the 2004 election when the people would elect the new leaders of the country.
37:28 For 24 Hours, there was no hesitation in voting.
37:36 "No matter who the president is, we are objective and neutral.
37:41 We don't kill anyone.
37:45 And they understand that no matter who the president is, they understand.
37:49 Because the news needs to be credible.
37:52 Especially now, there are so many fake news.
37:56 That is our trademark and that is what we maintain.
38:00 That is true, it's not just a tagline."
38:03 Even then, the brave investigator has a heart for helping.
38:14 24 Hours is alerted to any news.
38:18 "Hello again!"
38:19 And it's also up to the people.
38:21 "This is the show this time, news."
38:23 "The soldiers and military are fighting."
38:26 Since then, 24 Hours has been the focus of the Philippine story for two decades.
38:34 From tragedies to victories, inside or outside the country.
38:43 Responsibility that is viewed as a debt of the newscast to our fellow Filipinos.
38:49 "I feel like the televiewers have made us feel like they are our family.
38:58 They accept us in their homes every night at 6.30.
39:04 In short, we have become a part of their lives."
39:09 With the help of the latest technology and the efforts of staff, technical crew, reporters, cameramen, and editorial team.
39:20 Behind the most trusted news organization in the Philippines.
39:24 "Good evening, Luzon, Visayas."
39:27 The leading newscast in the country.
39:29 "Enhanced community quarantine in the whole Luzon."
39:32 It didn't even spread in the middle of the pandemic.
39:36 "We had to adjust just like everybody else because there were so many restrictions.
39:42 But thank God, we survived. That's why our people are doing well."
39:48 In the new 24 Hours, we continue to focus on delivering shocking news.
39:56 And there's a secret.
40:02 Guided by the lessons and principles of the past two decades.
40:07 For a bigger mission and a wider service to the country.
40:12 The GMA Integrated News, the news authority of the Filipinos.
40:18 "We have unreached the widest and the clarity of our signal.
40:24 There is no comparison at this point.
40:29 We are the people behind the news together with all the people behind the 24 Hours.
40:34 Why it becomes number one."
40:37 "Kapuso, from all of you who have been part of the 24 Hours,

41:12 "Wow, and your hairdo is really an Axolman."
41:16 "I have a thick sideburn."
41:18 "And that's all the news this Friday. I'm Vicky Morales."
