00:00A balcony of China is watching the AFP's joint exercises on an island in the West Philippine Sea.
00:08The Philippines is trying to figure out how to recover an island.
00:12Witness, Chino Gaston.
00:17Riding a rubber boat from the BRP Ramon Algaraz,
00:20Navy SEALs and Coast Guards attacked the Kota Island in the West Philippine Sea.
00:24They are practicing how to attack and recover an island.
00:28This is part of the joint exercises of the Philippine Navy, Army, Air Force and Philippine Coast Guard
00:34for the AFP Joint Exercises Dagit Pa 2024.
00:39They also used the latest fast attack interdiction craft made by Israel
00:44as well as the Agusta Westland Helicopter.
00:47According to the AFP, the practice is not aimed at the country.
00:52We can say that we are warning our neighbors or any external forces there
00:59that we are capable of defending our islands.
01:02This is a test of our interoperability with our forces in the Philippines
01:08and the integration of all the capabilities of the Army, Air Force and Philippine Coast Guard.
01:14It is very crucial for us to enhance our capability right here
01:19in the West Philippine Sea.
01:22That is for us to show our firm resolve of defending our sovereignty and sovereignty.
01:29The exercise was held in the Kalayaan group of islands in the West Philippine Sea.
01:34In the middle of it, a corvette of the Chinese Navy approached and fired.
01:39The BRP Ramon Algaraz immediately challenged the Chinese.
01:45Chinese warship 629.
01:48This is Philippine Navy warship 16.
01:51You are entering in our exercise area.
01:53Leave the vicinity immediately. Over.
01:56The Chinese did not respond.
01:58But according to the AFP, they were not affected by the exercise.
02:04They were just watching.
02:09So our exercise was not interrupted.
02:16In the Philippine Rise, which is in the east of Luzon,
02:19two Chinese research vessels were spotted on Monday, according to the Philippine Navy.
02:23But they say that it is possible that they are just avoiding the so-called ships in the storm that happened there.
02:28Nothing to be scared of. Nothing to be alarmed about.
02:32As long as the situation in the West Philippine Sea is calm, said the Philippine Coast Guard.
02:37There's a significant number of decrease of presence
02:42on the part of the Chinese government maritime forces
02:46because of the very bad weather condition in the West Philippine Sea.
02:50But in Himpapawit, there are more intrusion or foreign aircraft
02:55that illegally enter the Philippine airspace
02:58based on the monitoring of the 5th Fighter Wing of the Philippine Air Force.
03:02We are almost outside the 24 nautical mile limit.
03:06Sometimes they go near the 12 nautical mile limit,
03:10but maybe they are just testing us.
03:12And this is very concerning for us.
03:15It is difficult to say where the so-called aircraft came from,
03:19especially when they enter without permission.
03:23The so-called airplanes may be military or commercial.
03:26It is also difficult to make an interception
03:29on most of the foreign aircraft that enter the country's airspace
03:33because the Philippine Air Force has limited capabilities.
03:37It's very costly to intercept this intrusion,
03:41this aircraft, unmanned or manned.
03:44So we need to balance, we need to be selective.
03:47For GMA Integrated News, I'm Chino Gaston, your witness.
03:53On the side of the road, an eight-year-old girl
03:56ran after two men in Malaybalay City, Bukidnon.
04:01One of the men was caught after his motorcycle crashed,
04:05but his passenger, Chuhin, managed to escape.
04:07He was the mother of the child.
04:09He was arrested, and the child was just held,
04:12but people chased them, so he left the child because of fear.
04:16The situation of the child is fine.
04:19The story of the grandmother, the mother of the child was separated
04:22and the suspect was the mother of the child in the robbery.
04:25The suspect ran to their house, but the child was suddenly escaped.
04:30A possible complaint has been filed against the man who was caught.
04:34The investigation continues in the search for the escaped suspect.
04:40The Minorco Development Corporation in the real estate industry
04:44has received the prestigious
04:47Wired Score Platinum Certification,
04:50the highest digital connectivity or connectivity rating
04:54given by Wired Score.
04:56As a pioneer in digital connectivity,
04:58said Carmen Jimenez Ong,
05:00founder and CEO of the Minorco Development Corporation,
05:03their competitive edge in the commercial property landscape
05:07has been further enhanced by the company.
05:10The Minorco Tower is the first house in the Philippines
05:14to receive a prestigious award.
05:19Kapuso, it's only been 48 days,
05:22it's already Christmas,
05:23and the Christmas displays are already flickering
05:26on Ayala Avenue in Makati,
05:28while the highlight in a mall in San Juan
05:31is the gigantic Christmas tree.
05:33Witness, Niko Wahe.
05:36In 5, 4, 2, 1.
05:41All red with a touch of gold,
05:43a giant Christmas tree was lit in a mall in San Juan City.
05:4730 pieces of giant Christmas balls
05:51were made into a Christmas tree.
05:53A synthesis of two floors of houses.
05:56The Christmas feels are more complete
05:58because of the snow effect
06:00and of course, the singing of the Christmas song
06:02by the choir and orchestra.
06:09What we wanted to highlight or showcase here
06:12is about the spirit of Christmas as one family.
06:14I can really feel the Christmas spirit,
06:18the lighting of the Christmas tree.
06:21There was also a gift-giving for the children
06:23who are continuing in an orphanage
06:25that was set up to light the Christmas tree.
06:29In 5, 4, 3, 2, 1.
06:34All the red.
06:36Once again, 1.9 kilometers were lit
06:40along Ayala Avenue earlier.
06:42For over a decade, we enjoyed the Festival of Lights,
06:46our annual feast for the eyes.
06:48But this year, we have prepared
06:51a truly immersive holiday experience.
06:55For GMA Integrated News,
06:57I'm Nikwah Hek.
06:58Good luck!
