NewsTranscript
00:00For Vice President Sara Duterte, it's a good thing that the two impeachment complaints against her have been approved so that she can answer the accusations against her.
00:10In this way, her people will not be affected. She also answered if she will be able to go to the next investigation of the NBI in the arrest of Argyle Relator of GMA Regional TV.
00:22I welcome that finally the impeachment case that they've been saying that they will file since last year has been filed.
00:32That's the reaction of Vice President Sara Duterte after the approval of the two impeachment complaints against her in the camera.
00:41The impeachment case is okay because I'm the only one who's investigating it. I'm the only one who's being attacked by the impeachment case.
00:53My colleagues in the Office of the Vice President and my former colleagues in the Department of Education are not involved.
01:00It's time for the final answer of what they're accusing me of.
01:08Included in the grounds of the impeachment complaint is the use of confidential funds of the Office of the Vice President and the Department of Education,
01:17as well as what they're saying that VP Sara became a target against President Marcos, First Lady Liza Marcos, and House Speaker Martin Romualdez.
01:27The use of confidential funds of the Office of the Vice President and the Department of Education, as well as what they're saying that VP Sara became a target against President Marcos,
01:35House Speaker Martin Romualdez, and House Speaker Martin Romualdez.
01:40The use of confidential funds of the Office of the Vice President and the Department of Education, as well as what they're saying that VP Sara became a target against President Marcos,
01:48so they know that if there's peace, the future of our country will follow.
01:54That's why I understand their support for the Office of the Vice President and the Office of the Vice President
02:02because that's what all of our fellow countrymen want,
02:07that there's peace and that there's a continuous future for our country.
02:13At the end of the House Committee on Good Government and Public Accountability hearing
02:18on the confidential funds of the Department of Education and the Office of the Vice President,
02:23Ruterte said that the staff of the two offices can now rest in peace.
02:28After not being able to go to the investigation of the NBI on November 29 about his involvement in the life of the President,
02:37VP Sara said that he will not be able to go to the new schedule of the hearing on Wednesday, December 11.
02:44From what I understand from the explanation of my lawyers in the investigation of the NBI,
02:50he may not go.
02:52He may just submit a letter or affidavit.
02:56Second, we have Thanksgiving activities on December 11.
03:02And third, after our Thanksgiving activities, I will also go home to Davao City to visit my uncle.
03:10From GMA Regional TV and GMA Integrated News, R. Jill Relator for 24 Hours.
03:20The government spent the largest amount in history for the Confidential and Intelligence Fund in 2023,
03:28according to the Commission on Audit.
03:30That amounted to more than Php 10 billion.
03:33All the agencies that were given the funds were affected by Maki Pulido's actions.
03:42For 2023, more than Php 10 billion was the government's Confidential and Intelligence Expenses.
03:48Based on the data obtained, this is the first time in history that more than Php 10 billion was spent on Confidential and Intelligence Funds.
03:57For more than Php 10 billion, the Confidential Expenses amounted to more than Php 4.4 billion,
04:03while the Intelligence Expenses amounted to more than Php 6 billion.
04:07For the Confidential Expenses, the Office of the President is the largest with more than Php 2.2 billion.
04:13The Office of the Vice President's Confidential Expenses amounted to Php 375 million.
04:19But other offices and agencies of the Executive also spent Confidential Funds.
04:25The Office of the Secretary of the Department of Justice spent Php 522 million.
04:30The Department of National Defense and Interior and Local Government spent more than Php 70 million.
04:36There are also the Departments of Finance, Foreign Affairs, MMDA, DSWD, DOTR, Commission on Human Rights, even Commission on Audit.
04:46The total value of the Confidential Expenses of other Executive Offices amounted to almost Php 800 million,
04:52the largest amount of Php 500 million of the Philippine Drug Enforcement Agency.
04:57In a joint circular, Confidential Funds were said to be for the surveillance activities
05:02or surveillance of government agencies to support their mandate.
05:07That's why Prof. Emanuel Leco wonders why there is such a budget allocation of several civilian Executive Offices.
05:14Civilian agencies should not have it.
05:17If they need intelligence, they will refer to our intelligence network.
05:22It is rumored that such a large fund, according to Juan Antonio Perez,
05:26former Undersecretary of the Commission on Population and Development,
05:30is a fund that would be used for real needs such as housing, medicine, or additional education.
05:37Social programs will be reduced, the human capital side.
05:41After the issue of giving confidential funds to civilian agencies,
05:45some agencies removed it from the 2024 national budget, including OVP and DepEd.
05:50In the 2025 budget, according to DBM, Confidential and Intelligence Funds were also reduced by 16 percent.
05:58For GMA Integrated News, Macky Pulido, Katutok, 24 Hours.
06:03Although it is difficult to move due to his poor condition in his bones,
06:07the dream of a 10-year-old boy we met in Leyte is still true.
06:13In order to ease his worries and to satisfy his determination to study,
06:20he was entrusted with the help of the GMA Kapuso Foundation.
06:25Day by day, Jannette is encouraging her 10-year-old son, Dave, to go to school.
06:33It is difficult for Dave to move and he is small compared to his classmates in Grade 2.
06:40He was born with Osteogenesis Imperfecta, a serious bone disease.
06:47He was born with Osteogenesis Imperfecta, a serious bone disease.
07:08Despite his poor condition, he still continued to study.
07:13his father's expectations of a chair that fits his size.
07:18Because the 300 pesos they earn every day from farming
07:24is not enough to buy Dave a wheelchair.
07:27He is really persistent.
07:29So even if it's hard, we really supported him.
07:32So that he wouldn't think that he is different from other kids.
07:36As a member of the GMA Kapusu Foundation,
07:39on International Day of Persons with Disabilities,
07:43this December 3,
07:45we went to Leyte to give Dave a new pediatric wheelchair.
07:51Thank you very much to the GMA Kapusu Foundation.
07:54This wheelchair that you gave,
07:56it's a big help to my son until his growth.
08:00Kapusos, we will continue to bring hope
08:03to children with disabilities like Dave.
08:07For those who want to be a part of our projects,
08:10you can deposit in our bank accounts
08:13or send in a monthly loan here.
08:16You can also do it online via GKash, Shopee, Lazada, and Grove Rewards.
08:21The discussion of the new replacement of the leader in the Senate
08:26in the middle of the impeachment issue against Vice President Sara Duterte
08:30was echoed by several senators in the appointment of MAV Gonzalez.
08:34A few months after the replacement of Senate President Cheese Escudero,
08:38who is Senate President Juan Miguel Zubiri,
08:41the new move of the senators to replace their leader took place.
08:47Senator Cynthia Villa took the lead.
08:50But she said,
08:52Escudero was just made fun of
08:55and said that he did not comment on the gossips.
08:58He always says that this is just a gossip until it happens.
09:03A senator needs 13 votes to be elected as Senate President.
09:08When he was elected in May,
09:1015 senators voted to replace him.
09:14Six of them are friends or allies of Vice President Sara Duterte's family
09:20who are now facing two impeachment complaints.
09:23If the senators continue to sit on the case.
09:27Senator Pato de la Rosa said
09:29that no one is convincing him to replace Escudero.
09:32But if Senator Cynthia Villa is the one to be replaced,
09:35Senator Pato de la Rosa said
09:37that no one is convincing him to replace Escudero.
09:40But if Senator Cynthia Villa is the one to be replaced,
09:58Senate President Pro Tempore Jingo Estrada said
10:02that only gossips are being talked about in the Senate.
10:05Escudero remained as Senate President
10:08even if the impeachment case in BICE continues.
10:15For GMA Integrated News,
10:17Mav Gonzales, Nakatutok, 24 Hours.
10:21A new incident of laser shooting at the coffins of BIFAR
10:26was recorded in our territory.
10:28But it was not specified in which vehicle it was fired at.
10:32Raffi Tima, Nakatutok.
10:38Red color and painful to the eyes.
10:40That's what the crew of BRP Datu Tamblot
10:42of the Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources of BIFAR
10:45showed.
10:46The laser was aimed at them near Hasahasa Shoal,
10:49more than 100 kilometers away from Bataraza, Palawan.
10:52It's painful to the eyes.
10:54The incident was recorded by the night vision camera
10:57of the crew of BRP Datu Matanam Taradapit
11:00patrolling the area.
11:04The incident happened on December 2
11:06while the BIFAR ships were returning to Asa Island.
11:09They were repeatedly shot at
11:12by an unknown sea vehicle.
11:14This is not the first time
11:16that such an incident has happened in Hasahasa Shoal.
11:18Just this September,
11:20a laser was aimed at a missile boat of the Chilean Navy,
11:23the airplane of BIFAR,
11:24which was patrolling the area
11:26of two BIFAR ships.
11:28Last year,
11:29a green laser was aimed at BRP Malapascua
11:32near Ayungin Shoal.
11:34It's dangerous for humans
11:36the lasers that can be fired
11:37when it directly hits the eyes.
11:39The Philippine Coast Guard has not yet issued an official statement
11:42regarding the incident,
11:43even the National Task Force for the West Philippine Sea.
11:46For GMA Integrated News,
11:48Raffi Tima, Nakatutok,
11:4924 Hours.
11:52It's painful for the public
11:54to see each other
11:55in the first month of 2025
11:58because of the high electricity bills.
12:00This is Nakatutok, Maris O'Malley.
12:05One of the most lively streets,
12:08especially during Christmas,
12:10is Policarpio Street in Mandaluyong City
12:12because of the many lights
12:14that shine on the streets
12:16and cover the houses.
12:18This is a house
12:19where the walls are almost broken
12:21because of the many lights.
12:23And this year,
12:24they added more lights
12:26to the trees and towers.
12:28The residents here
12:29are preparing their pockets
12:31after the Energy Regulatory Commission
12:33or ERC announced
12:35that the electricity bill will rise
12:37in January 2025.
12:39Even though it's painful for the pockets,
12:40the residents said
12:41that they will endure
12:43and only be able to bring happiness this Christmas.
12:45Only once a year,
12:47only during Christmas.
12:49It's more fun during Christmas
12:51when there are many lights.
12:53Since January 2025,
12:55the electricity bill will rise.
12:57After the ERC allowed
12:59the consumers to recover,
13:01more than P3 billion was paid
13:03to the Ancillary Services
13:05of the National Grid Corporation of the Philippines
13:07last February.
13:09As a result,
13:10there was an increase of P12
13:12per kilowatt hour in Luzon
13:13within 3 months
13:15and 6 months in Visayas.
13:17In Mindanao,
13:18there was an increase of P3 per kilowatt hour
13:19within 3 months.
13:21The increase will reflect
13:23on the transmission charge
13:25from the electricity bill.
13:27The group of residents
13:28responded to the NGCP's request
13:30to protest the power rate hike.
13:32We want to stop electricity
13:34because we want
13:36to see how
13:38the National Grid Corporation
13:40of the Philippines
13:43computes what they say.
13:45But in order to prevent
13:47the Christmas lights from going out,
13:49Norma Lem,
13:50one of the OGs
13:51who lights up the entire house
13:52in Policarpio Street,
13:53came up with a solution.
13:55I prepared that.
13:57Our Christmas lights
13:59are not all 12 volts.
14:02That's why it's very weak.
14:05We need to make people happy
14:07so that life will be sad
14:09and you won't be happy.
14:11We need to save a little
14:13so that we can give
14:15happiness to the people
14:17who will come here.
14:19For GMA Integrated News,
14:21Maryse Umali, Naktutok, 24 Hours.

15:12According to experts,
15:13the world's warmest year
15:15in the first months of 2025
15:16is still possible.
15:18That is,
15:19despite the shear line
15:20that is possible to be recognized
15:22and not so much influenced
15:24by the global temperature.
15:26My fellow countrymen,
15:27the warming of the seas
15:28has a big effect
15:29on the strength of storms,
15:31so it's also important
15:32to discuss this
15:33along with
15:34the changing climate.
15:37The President of Syria
15:38was removed from his post
15:40following the rebels
15:42taking control
15:44of the country's capital.
15:45Our embassador assured us
15:47that the Filipinos are safe.
15:49Let's go to the news abroad
15:51with Salima Refran.
15:56In the midst of hope
15:57that the change of leadership
15:59in Syria will be peaceful,
16:00after his president,
16:02Bashar al-Assad,
16:03was removed,
16:04the government continues
16:05to monitor the Filipinos
16:07in the so-called country
16:08in the Middle East.
16:09According to the Philippine Embassy
16:11in Damascus,
16:12more than 700 Filipinos
16:14are safe and in good condition.
16:17During the rule of Assad,
16:18his iron fist
16:19was hammered
16:21for more than two decades.
16:23The rebel leaders
16:24of Damascus
16:25are now in control.
16:27There are only minor changes,
16:29but compared to what happened yesterday,
16:31the situation is getting worse.
16:34Most of the Filipinos
16:36in Damascus,
16:37the total number of Filipinos
16:39here is 703.
16:42There are about 10
16:44who are staying here in the embassy
16:46because of yesterday's chaos.
16:49They became desperate
16:51so they asked us for help
16:53to live temporarily
16:55here in the embassy.
16:58There was a strong wind
17:00in the west coast of Britain
17:02accompanied by the UK
17:04of Storm Dara.
17:06Many roads were flooded
17:08and 5,000 houses were also flooded
17:10without electricity.
17:13Taiwan raised the alert level
17:15this Monday
17:16because of the ongoing harassment
17:18of China.
17:20When China really took over
17:21the reserved airspace
17:23where airplanes were restricted
17:26and dispatched naval fleets
17:28and coast guard boats
17:29around Taiwan,
17:30according to a security source
17:31of Taiwan,
17:32it was estimated that
17:34the navy and coast guard ships
17:36of China
