00:00A new diplomatic protest was held in the Philippines
00:03regarding the new harassment of Chinese ships in the West Philippine Sea.
00:08The B-4 ship that was destroyed after the Chinese Coast Guard bombed and bombed it
00:14has now returned to the coast.
00:16And live from the sea, Rafi Tima.
00:19Rafi?
00:23Pia was rescued here in her home port, this BRP Datu Pagbuaya
00:28after experiencing a very dangerous action from the Chinese Coast Guard in Scarborough Shoal.
00:36Following the Chinese Coast Guard bombing yesterday
00:38in the BRP Datu Pagbuaya of the B-4 near Bahaudima, Sinlok
00:41the ship has now returned to the coast.
00:44From a distance, it looks like the ship is intact.
00:46But up close, the UPSA railing can be seen on the starboard side or the right side of the ship.
00:51One of the lifecraft has a crack and its container has been damaged.
00:54The navigation light of the ship has been deformed.
00:57The firehose box and air-conditioning have been damaged.
01:00The three CCTVs and the small water cannon of the ship have also been damaged.
01:04In a clearer and more complete video from Datu Pagbuaya
01:08you can see how the Chinese Coast Guard targeted the exhaust system or the bow of the B-4 ship.
01:14If it was hit by water, its engine could die.
01:17It's very dangerous now that it's in the middle of the sea.
01:20It's good that it has protection.
01:24The next target was the water cannon of the tank of Crudo
01:27which was supplied by B-4 to the Filipino fishermen.
01:30You can see the splash of water after it hit the three large tanks made of PVC.
01:35When it didn't explode, the giant ship was able to speed it up
01:39until the small ship of B-4 reached the shore.
01:47According to the crew of the ship, the BRP Datu Pagbuaya of the Bangkain Silasagilid
01:52If the Chinese Coast Guard continued to attack it,
01:55it's unlikely that they will continue to attack it.
01:58According to BFAR, the BRP Datu Pagbuaya was commissioned two years ago.
02:02That's why it's sad that many of its parts were damaged.
02:05Hopefully, by next year, our floating assets will increase.
02:09In terms of quality, we are also ensuring the quality of our materials.
02:16According to the DFA, a diplomatic protest was held regarding the Philippines against China.
02:23The Chinese Coast Guard also protested against BFAR's ship in Escoda Shoal.
02:34The Chinese Embassy has no objection to the new diplomatic protest.
02:37But they were the first to say that their actions are legal and professional
02:42in order to protect their sovereignty.
02:46I mean, we were within our legal rights.
02:48Certainly, we don't understand why China, again, is repeating these actions which are clearly illegal.
02:54That's why we are working with like-minded nations to break this lie.
03:02They have no basis in what they are saying.
03:05When the BRP Datu Pagbuaya was docked,
03:08one of the Philippine ships was the Chinese Navy ship with a bow number of 500.
03:13It reached a distance of 300 yards.
03:15It was the first time that this happened in Baudimas, Inglok, according to the PCG.
03:18According to the National Task Force for the West Philippine Sea,
03:21the Philippine Navy could have deployed the Philippine warships
03:24to accompany the BFAR and PCG resupply missions to the Philippine fishermen.
03:29China has taken this route of escalating.
03:33That's what I want to emphasize.
03:35This is also what Commodore J. Tariella emphasized.
03:39They were left out because the PLAN Navy ship of the PRC was blocking them.
03:48So, in reaction to that, the Philippine government reserves the right
03:52to also deploy the Philippine Navy in this circumstance.
03:58Because we were not the first ones here.
04:01This is contrary to the position of the National Maritime Council
04:04A few days ago, they said that they do not want to be involved in the situation of the Chinese military against the Philippine military.
04:09Our President is very clear that all disputes, conflict situations,
04:16we will do it through peaceful means or diplomatic actions and mechanisms.
04:22Because if it's Navy to Navy, it will escalate.
04:26We do not know what will happen next.
04:28If ever there is a misunderstanding, misinformation.
04:32We don't want war. Who wants war?
04:34We don't want the Philippine fishermen to think.
04:36You are blaming us.
04:38And that is not the position of the Philippine government.
04:43The Philippine Navy refused to comment.
04:45But in a statement, the Philippine Navy said that the AFP is aware of everything that is happening
04:50and assured that they are also present in the area.
04:56Tomorrow, the PIA will have an in-depth inspection here at the BRP Datu Pagbuaya
05:01to find out how serious the damage is.
05:05It is possible that the ship was damaged more than three weeks ago.
05:11Live from Orion Bataan, for GMA Integrated News, I am Rafi Timah, your witness.
05:18There is an expected increase in Manila waters next year.
05:22Witness, Joseph Moro.
05:24When the new year started, there was an increase for Manila Water's customers.
05:32According to the company, the increase is part of the bait rebasing of 2022.
05:37It has not yet been stated how much the increase will be.
05:40Manila Water is still monitoring the movement of PISO against Doliar.
05:44There will also be an effect of what we call Foreign Currency Differential Adjustment or FDBA.
05:51If the increase is explained, the PISO will decrease,
05:54as well as the currency that we have in debt.
05:58If it decreases, it means that the PISO will increase.
06:02The increase in water sales is also a challenge for consumers who are buying inflation
06:07or increasing the price of services and goods in the country.
06:11According to the Philippine Statistics Authority,
06:13from 2.3 percent in October, the overall inflation rate in the country rose to 2.5 percent in November.
06:19Because of that, the national average inflation rate is 3.2 percent from January to November.
06:25According to the PSA, three groups of goods and services have a contribution
06:29in increasing the inflation rate in November.
06:32The first group is food and drinks.
06:35Because of the high prices of goods, many people are saving.
06:38That's why the government's 40 pesos per kilo of rice in the Rice for All program
06:41ran out on the first day of the rollout for some families.
06:45It's a pity that it ran out.
06:49Because the other rice here is in the 50-plus.
06:52That's good news for consumers, but the income of some retailers is affected.
06:56The challenge for them is, of course, if the cost is reduced, their income will be reduced.
07:00And of course, there should be coordination.
07:03We also want to lower the price of rice.
07:08Eventually, we can further talk about what is better to do for the country.
07:14Despite the increase in some expenses,
07:17many are still using the hashtag FeelingBlessed.
07:20Many are sharing their simple dreams that are slowly coming true.
07:23At that time, even if it was only seven pesos, it was really hard for us.
07:30But as time went by, we really ascended.
07:38We are now within reach.
07:44When I was young, I used to borrow a cell phone.
07:47Now that I have a job, I can buy a cell phone.
07:50Before, I used to buy, but now I can't anymore.
07:53According to the PSA, the poverty in the last year has really decreased.
07:57The number of Filipino families who are considered poor has also decreased,
08:01or those who earn less than the poverty threshold of 13,873 pesos per month.
08:08Even so, almost 18 million Filipinos are still experiencing poverty.
08:14For GMA Integrated News, I am Joseph Morong, your witness.
08:19Kapusod, it's only been 20 days and it's already Christmas.
08:22And the popularity of Northern Lights, which is usually only seen in other countries,
08:27can also be experienced here in Metro Manila.
08:31Find out where that is in the live witness of Jamie Santos.
08:36Jamie?
08:37Pia, Christmas by the Lake is open again here in Lungsod, Taguig.
08:42They have a new attraction that is perfect for the celebration of every family this Christmas season.
08:53Christmas by the Lake is more colorful and more festive this year.
08:58Every corner of the park is picture perfect.
09:01One of the highlights is the nostalgic Christmas on display
09:04that shows the rich tradition of the Filipino Christmas.
09:08We were so happy when we saw the animated Christmas display.
09:13We used to experience it before, but now we are making our children experience it.
09:17I am really happy right now.
09:19I am very happy and the development here in Taguig is very active.
09:24There is also the Northern Lights Experience,
09:27which is the first of its kind in the country.
09:30It is located in Aurora Borealis.
09:32It's like being in a different country.
09:33It's beautiful, very relaxing.
09:35Your fatigue will go away.
09:37It's really beautiful.
09:38The big and colorful Christmas tree is also an attraction here.
09:43It is free to enter the park,
09:45but visitors are encouraged to book online or call first.
09:49Walk-in visitors are still welcome,
09:51except for those who can wait in line.
09:55Last year, more than 20,000 visitors came to the park every day.

11:33That's why it's already mixed
11:35with the feelings of Dennis Domingo.
11:38It's only been a few weeks,
11:40and it will be shown on the big screen.
11:43That's why it's already mixed
11:45with the feelings of Dennis Trillo and Ruru Madrid.
11:49They were challenged in their roles.
11:52It was a challenge.
11:54In Red Sun, I spoke Japanese.
11:57Here, I have a different language to learn.
12:01I also changed the way I speak.
12:04I moved, I stood up.

12:29I saw the reception in the trailer.
12:33Even though it was shown again and again,
12:36it was really amazing.
12:38But I can promise,
12:40the movie is far better than the trailer.
12:43I'm very, very proud of this movie.

13:19Speaking of Dennis Trillo,
13:21in Red Sun,
13:23he still has a lot to say
13:26as Colonel Yuta Saito.
13:28Are you going to show me where Eduardo is?
13:33Or will you witness what my soldiers will do to this country?
13:37The scene will be heavy,
13:39just like their confrontation
13:41with Tia Amalia played by Rochelle Pangilinan.
13:45I'm sure you won't hurt or hurt my son.
13:51But off-cam,
13:52stop the fight,
