00:00We will all be together in this!
00:14There was a phreatomagmatic eruption in the Taal Volcano at 4 in the afternoon earlier.
00:20This is the eruption that resulted from contact between water and hot magma.
00:26It lasted for 11 minutes.
00:28The eruption resulted in the eruption of a steam that reached up to 2,400 meters high.
00:34According to PHIVOX, the Taal Volcano is still remaining at Alert Level 1.
00:41An 8-billion-peso smuggled tire was found in a warehouse in Bulacan.
00:46According to the NBI, it is possibly dangerous for motorists to use the tires,
00:51especially if it did not pass the inspection of the government.
00:54This is John Consulta.
00:59Armed with search warrants,
01:02NBI Central Zone Regional Office 3 entered the warehouse in Marilao, Bulacan.
01:13Inside the compound, a tire was found for various cars that are worth 8 billion pesos.
01:21All of these were smuggled and sold to various provinces in the Philippines.
01:27The NBI Region 3 saw the illegal operation when a client complained that a tire exploded.
01:34There are markings on it. We are really sure that it came from China.
01:39When Agent Rivera verified our agent on case,
01:43their product was not unregistered in the BPS.
01:48It means that not all of the items here did not pass the standard that our government confirms.
01:56Thousands of tires, mugs, rims, and mole of various cars
02:01were smuggled by the NBI Central Zone Regional Office 3
02:05when it entered the warehouse here in Marilao, Bulacan.
02:09According to the NBI, the company has been operating without a permit for 10 years.
02:14There is also no ICC, or Import Commodity Clearance,
02:19which is dangerous for motorists to use.
02:23This is very dangerous.
02:25As you can see, there are many accidents where tires explode.
02:30Because of the sub-standard, it explodes.
02:33It creates a disgrace for our people.
02:38The NBI reminds our motorists,
02:41do not buy cheap tires.
02:45You really need to have a name.
02:47You are buying cheap tires, but the consequences will be worse.
02:53You will have to pay a higher price if your tires explode.
02:56The violation of the RA-7394, or Consumer Act,
03:01will affect all employees inside the warehouse.
03:06For GMA Integrated News, I am your reporter, John Consulta.
03:12The court allowed Dismissed Mayor Alice Guo to visit the hospital in Pasig,
03:17according to the Bureau of Jail Management and Phenology.
03:20They were the ones who requested to the court due to a possible infection in Guo's lung.
03:25They will meet at the hospital for a schedule,
03:28and to Guo, if he wants to have a check-up.
03:31Guo is currently in Pasig City Jail.
03:33The BJMP also mentioned on the second day of the COC filing
03:37that there are no persons deprived of liberty, or PDL,
03:40who were requested to run in the election of 2025.
03:43The agency reminded them that if there is a PDL running,
03:46they are not allowed to campaign while they are in jail.
03:51The authorities visited a social media page that offers massages,
03:55but there is an illegal service.
03:58Five people were injured, but the suspect was able to escape.
04:01Witness, June Veneracion.
04:08We are the police.
04:10Five women are being massaged online.
04:14There is another illegal service.
04:16The PNP Anti-Cybercrime Group rescued them in Quezon City.
04:19The victims are aged 20 to 29.
04:22You are doing fine.
04:24You don't have any problem.
04:26Don't touch your cell phone.
04:28However, the target was able to escape.
04:31The facilitator grabbed the women.
04:34The illegal activity was exposed
04:36when the PNP ACG targeted a Facebook page that offers massages.
04:41When the suspect started booking customers,
04:44he was sent a picture of the women.
04:47That's when the price of the massages started to increase.
04:51The price they usually give for a massage is P3,000.
04:55For all-in services, including sexual activities, it's P8,000.
05:02Based on the investigation of the PNP ACG,
05:05for a transaction of P3,000,
05:07P2,700 goes to Bugao,
05:11and the victim's share is only P300.
05:14If the customer's package is P8,000,
05:17only P3,000 is left to the victim.
05:20The facilitator has been doing this for years.
05:23That's why the cybercops monitor his online activities.
05:28The Facebook page that offers massages is also being monitored.
05:32The suspect is also involved in prostitution.
05:36For GMI Integrated News, I'm your journalist, Saksy.
05:425,404 were counted as those who obtained the Certificate of Candidacy
05:47based on the preliminary report of COMELEC before 8 p.m.
05:51COMELEC said that more senatorial aspirants
05:55will be able to enter the ballot in the election of 2025.
05:58Saksy, by Sandra Aguinaldo.
06:03No one has won yet, but it looks like there's a celebration.
06:06Some supporters of those who obtained the Certificate of Candidacy are all out.
06:10They went to the Kirino Grandstand.
06:13Yes, we support them.
06:15We will not give up on them.
06:17So that we can also help them.
06:20So that we can also be helped.
06:23The Philippine Marine Corps added strength to the 400 policemen in Manila
06:27who are guarding the Manila Hotel.
06:30Among those who want to be alone,
06:32in the 12-slot Senate,
06:34the first one to join the COC today is Victoriano Inte,
06:38who has already run for the national position.
06:41Next is the re-electionist Senator Aimee Marcos,
06:44who was accompanied by her mother, the former First Lady Imelda Marcos.
06:48She announced that she is independent,
06:50but the party she put in the COC is a nationalist party.
06:53The target is also to return to the Senate of the former Senate President Tito Soto.
07:00The former Senator Ping Lakson also did the same.
07:04The re-electionist Senator Lito Lapid also arrived at the same time.
07:08Eric Negapatan, who introduced himself as an engineer and building contractor,
07:13and Magno Manalo, who introduced himself as a pastor and former security guard.
07:18This was the third time Bethsaida Lopez did this.
07:24She was emotional in front of the media
07:26because she was always declared a nuisance.
07:30This is the second time Manuel Andrada filed for the COC.
07:35The Army Reservist, Johnrey Gargarita, also filed.
07:40Comelec said that it is possible that more qualified Senators will run this time,
07:45but the legal department will still file within five days.
07:51Under the Omnibus Election Code,
07:53a person who filed for the COC can be declared a nuisance candidate
07:59to delay the election process or cause confusion.
08:03For example, if the name is the same,
08:06and if there is no real intention to run,
08:08the COC will file in a particular position.
08:12Comelec also said that the Supreme Court has two new rulings
08:15that will prevent the declaration of nuisance of an aspirant.
08:20The Supreme Court said that a person cannot be declared a nuisance candidate
08:25because he does not have the financial capacity to launch a nationwide campaign.
08:30In the second decision of the Supreme Court,
08:32the reason that you are not known to the society
08:35or that you do not have a political party
08:37is automatically that you will be declared a nuisance candidate.
08:41There are 11 partylists that filed for the Certificate of Nomination
08:45and Certificate of Acceptance of Nomination today.
08:49As of yesterday, 26 partylists have been nominated.
08:57The voters in the MBO barangays that were previously occupied by Makati
09:04and transferred to the jurisdiction of Taguig
09:07will be able to choose their congressman and councilor
09:10based on the resolution issued by Comelec and Bank.
09:14The residents of Comembo, Pembo, and Rizal will vote in the first district of Taguig
09:19and in the second district of Taguig, the remaining MBO barangay.
09:24It will be based on the concurrent resolution of the Senate and the House of Representatives.
09:29For GMA Integrated News, Sandra Aguinaldo is your eyewitness.
09:35Whatever time it is now, the typhoon Kraton will hit Taiwan.
09:40It passed through the Philippines as a typhoon Hulian.
09:43As a preparation, thousands of residents were evacuated.
09:46School and office entrances were also canceled early.
09:50The flights were also canceled.
09:52Even though the typhoon subsided, the storm surge still continues.
09:56The wind and rain are strong.
09:58According to the fire department, one was hit after falling from a tree.
10:02Two were lost and 70 were injured.
10:08Digital services from foreign or foreign provider.
10:11There is a 12% VAT or value-added tax already.
10:14According to the law passed by President Marcos earlier,
10:17aside from online streaming and digital goods,
10:20search engines, online marketplaces, and cloud services will also be taxed.
10:25It is not taxed on education services such as online courses and webinars.
10:30According to the President, the law prohibits taxing,
10:33especially when the VAT is paid by local digital service providers.
10:38Digital providers can increase their sales according to the BIR,
10:41but this is just a small amount.
10:43BIR can block non-following providers.
10:47The government is hoping that from this VAT,
10:50P100 billion will be used in the next five years.
10:55Those involved in the 2020 assassination of former PCSO,
10:59Board Secretary Wesley Barayuga,
11:01should be investigated by the Justice Department,
11:03according to the lead chairman of House Quadcom,
11:05Sister Gaudel Norte Representative Ace Barbers.
11:08She should not hesitate to end the investigation
11:11for the alleged murder of former PCSO Chair Roy Inagarma,
11:17former CIDG Davao Region Director,
11:20and now NAPOLCOM Commissioner Edelberto Leonardo.
11:23Both of them should be executed.
11:25Barayuga's followers are grateful to the Quadcom
11:29and believe that this is the way of God
11:32for justice to be served and Barayuga's name to be cleared
11:35for his involvement in illegal drugs.
11:38For GEM Integrated News, I have a witness.
11:44Due to the recovery of the export ban on rice in India,
11:47rice is said to be cheaper during Christmas,
11:49according to the Agriculture Department.
11:51Witness, Bernadette Reyes.
11:57The price of imported rice increased
11:59in this position of Oliver in Quezon City
12:02when the export ban was implemented in India in July 2023.
12:06When the market closed in India,
12:09we used to sell rice at a retail price of P65 per kilo.
12:13Our business capital was also affected.
12:16But the ban was replaced by India.
12:18This will help in reducing the price of rice,
12:20even if the percentage of rice imported by the Philippines
12:24from India is smaller compared to Vietnam and Thailand.
12:27The price of rice will free up and increase
12:30when it is traded all over the world.
12:33Indian rice is also cheaper
12:35compared to Vietnam.
12:37The price of international rice can drive.
12:41According to the Department of Agriculture,
12:43aside from the increase of supplies in the international market,
12:46India is now open to export.
12:48This will also help to lower the price of rice in the country.
12:52In a moment, we will feel the effect of Executive Order No. 62
12:56where the tariff on imported rice was lowered by 15%.
13:00It's really slow.
13:02Imagine, we were coming from P55 to P52, P50.
13:07Now, we have seen P42 to P45.
13:10That's big.
13:11That's a very significant change
13:13in the drop in the price of rice.
13:15But we're still expecting that it will still go down.
13:17The effect of leaving India for the rice export ban
13:20will not be felt immediately.
13:22But it is possible that rice will become cheaper this Christmas.
13:25It will last for another month.
13:27They will be able to save this Christmas time.
13:31Agri-Products will also monitor the markets
13:34so that no one will be affected
13:36like what happened to the millions of kilos of rice in the past.
13:39There will be no over-stay-ins.
13:42It's better to enter and exit containers
13:46that contain agricultural commodities.
13:48More than 500 containers will be exported.
13:51According to the PPA,
13:53the terminal operator said that it will endorse it in the BOC.
13:57For GMA Integrated News,
13:59Bernadette Reyes, your Saksi.
14:02Kapuso, it's the 84th day before Christmas.
14:06The police started to investigate.
14:09From Quezon City, Saksi Live, I'm Jamie Santos.
14:12Jamie!
14:14From Quezon City, Saksi Live, I'm Jamie Santos.
14:17Jamie!
14:31In Plaza Quezon in Las Piñas,
14:33the sellers of colorful Parol have already gathered.
14:37Here, the traditional Parol makers
14:40that are made of colorful plastic and wood.
14:43This simple colorful Parol
14:45that is often seen in barangays
14:48has been in business since May.
14:51Elvie, a Parol maker since 1969.
14:55It's because it's traditional.
14:59It's ugly if there's no Parol.
15:0240 pesos to 250 pesos is the current price
15:05for this kind of Parol,
15:07depending on the size.
15:09If you want it to have lights,
15:11just add 100 pesos.
15:13It's because the price of some materials is expensive.
15:16The materials are expensive.
15:18Think about it.
15:19This is 120 pesos, now it's 770 pesos.
15:22The Parol makers in this place are made of copper.
15:251,500 pesos to 5,000 pesos
15:29is the price of the Parol made of copper.
15:32LED light is also used in these Parol
15:35to last longer.
15:37The cost of LED light is also good.
15:41It lasts longer.
15:44They also sell outdoor Christmas decor here.
15:47It's made of copper with LED light.
15:50There's also a Parol store in Gilmore, San Juan.
15:53Parolan is also open in Araneta City, Cubao.
15:56Including Parol and Christmas decor,
15:59different designs can be chosen.
16:02There are also Christmas trees
16:04that you can see here for your Christmas decorations.
16:11And live from Parolan in Araneta City,
16:14for JMAI Integrated News,
16:16Jamie Santos is your witness.
16:26Silog and other Filipino foods
16:28are also being brought back
16:30to a restaurant in America.
16:32Its owner is a former dishwasher
16:34who worked hard
16:36until he achieved a delicious success.
16:44It's already morning.
16:45The line in this restaurant is already a blockbuster.
16:48Who wouldn't be amazed by their specialty?
16:54Silog or fried rice and egg.
16:57Just like corned beef silog and pork silog.
17:01But this restaurant is not in the Philippines.
17:04It's in Washington, USA.
17:06Welcome to Ludi's Restaurant.
17:11It's like home away from home.
17:14Because of the Filipino foods that they serve,
17:18karikare, lumpia, and other Filipino foods
17:21are also certified hits.
17:23Even in other races.
17:25Actually, not only Americans,
17:27but we also have people from India, Nepal,
17:31and some of them are from Europe.
17:34So it's great that they like Filipino food.
17:58It's a lechon kawai.
18:03Of course, you can't leave out panhimagas,
18:06like the ube pancake.
18:08It's amazing that it's first grade.
18:11The owner is really nice.
18:13And it has this fancy look,
18:14the ube pancakes,
18:15and it's just so good.
18:19The owner of the restaurant is a Filipino,
18:21Gregorio Rosas, or Tito Greg.
18:24I don't have a mother or father.
18:26So I raised Ludi to have a kitchen.
18:32Tito Greg started out as a dishwasher
18:35and houseboy in a diner
18:37until the owner saw that he has potential in cooking.
18:41Because of his hard work and honesty,
18:43Greg was given the position of the restaurant.
18:46In 2008, he collected all the money he saved in America
18:51and built Ludi's Restaurant.
18:54He got to know Ludi
18:56by teaching him how to cook
18:58and by being a patron of Maolila in the Philippines.
19:01You love what you're doing.
19:03And be genuine to yourself.
19:06Because people will see that
19:08when they know that you're very welcoming.
19:14From here in America,
19:16and for GMA Integrated News,
19:19I am JP Soriano, your witness.
19:25It's One Emotional Day

19:40They also thanked the people behind the series,
19:43from the director to the crew.
19:46The series also lasted two years,
19:48so they considered each other family.
19:52GMA Entertainment Group's Senior Vice President,
19:55Dilibeth Razonable,
19:57and VP for Drama, Sheryl Ching Sit,
19:59were also present.
20:05I'm sad,
20:07but I'm more grateful
20:09that the show lasted this long.

20:14I think it's time
20:17to open a new chapter in our lives.
