00:19The man who left the baby elephant there is now looking for it.
00:22Raffy Tima has the first news.
00:25Lucky, the baby elephant was found there.
00:33There was a new born baby elephant that was found in Ecobag and next to a hotel in Malabon.
00:39Its umbilical cord is still attached.
00:41The baby elephant was covered by a napkin.
00:43I don't know what to do.
00:46So I removed the napkin.
00:50Why did you remove the napkin? What did you see?
00:53Well, it looks like it's healthy.
00:57But it's hard for it to breathe.
00:59Then it cried.
01:01According to the vendor who saw and reported to the barangay,
01:04a man called his attention about the baby elephant.
01:07He noticed that the man had blood on his feet.
01:10Did I tell you to bring this?
01:13He said no.
01:14He said he was just walking.
01:16Then I called the barangay.
01:20When the barangay arrived, the man was gone.
01:23When we checked the CCTV, he was the one who left the baby elephant in Ecobag.
01:28According to the Malabon Police, the baby elephant's condition is fine.
01:32They called it Baby Trav.
01:34The Malabon Police is looking for the man who might be involved in a criminal case.
01:38The CSWD and Malabon Nurses Hospital arrived.
01:43They will file a case of temporary custody of the baby elephant.
01:46After that, it will be discharged.
01:49This is the first news. Rafi Tima for GMA Integrated News.
01:54Residents of Tatampal Ali in Barangay 18, Caloocan, were overjoyed

02:10Some firefighters were placed on the roof to bring water to the area.
02:15Residents also helped.
02:17The fire was extinguished after more than 20 minutes.
02:20When I looked, there was smoke there.
02:22I looked at the firetruck. There was already fire at the end.
02:26I shouted at the firetruck,
02:28I said, why didn't you come out? I said, it's on fire.
02:30I threw them all here.
02:32All the people were shouting at them.
02:34It's on fire, I said.
02:36The 84-year-old grandmother who owns a house was saved.
02:40She said that she will sleep when the incident happens.
02:43She lives there alone.
02:45When I woke up, there was already a fire. It was already big.
02:49Where did the fire go?
02:51To the altar.
02:54Meanwhile, she continues to live in Barangay Hall of Barangay 18.
02:57She was not able to save her belongings.
02:59For someone like me, it's very difficult.
03:02Even my money was burned there.
03:06In my bag.
03:09Even my ID here in the barangay was burned.
03:14I hope that those who are in charge of my life can help me.
03:24Because I was not able to save anything.
03:27The BFP investigated the cause of the fire and the total importance of the incident.
03:32This is the first news.
03:34James Agustin for JEMAI Integrated News.
03:37In the midst of the rain on the road,
03:39several families were involved in the fire earlier this evening
03:43in Barangay Batis, Samhuan.
03:45Only one person was injured.

03:51It's on fire.
03:55My things.
03:57I can't go home anymore.
03:59I can't go home anymore.
04:08My things.
04:11My money.
04:15Jay's world seems to be on fire while his house is on fire
04:19inside a compound in Barangay Batis, Samhuan yesterday,
04:23on the eve of Christmas.
04:25The fire started next to their house,
04:27past 10.30 p.m.
04:30I went home to save my things on the second floor.
04:34But I climbed the stairs.
04:36I couldn't do it because of the thick smoke.
04:38It's like I'm sick.
04:40So I went back.
04:41I didn't know what to do.
04:43Even if I wanted to save my things on the second floor,
04:45I couldn't do it because of the thick smoke.
04:47He is still very thankful that his nephew was able to save them.
04:52They were with the three families affected by the fire
04:55that reached the first alarm.
04:57The firefighters will not be able to get down to the fourth truck
04:59and they will have to respond.
05:01Meanwhile, the compound released another resident
05:04who was forced to hide in a road during Christmas while it was raining.
05:09The fire lasted for half an hour before it was completely extinguished.
05:13It's raining now.
05:15It's a hindrance to the operation.
05:17It's gloomy and there are a lot of people living inside.
05:23So, of course, when people go out, the firefighters will go in.
05:28According to the BFP, one person was injured in the incident.

11:01it is expected that it will rain in Negros Occidental.
11:08This is a rainy season that was experienced
11:10in many parts of the country
11:12during Christmas.
11:14Will it also be rainy this Christmas?
11:17For that, we will talk to Veronica Torres,
11:19weather specialist of Pag-asa.
11:21Veronica, good morning.
11:23Good morning to you and to our viewers.
11:26Merry Christmas to you in Pag-asa.
11:28Is the chance of rain still high,
11:30Veronica, this Christmas?
11:32Merry Christmas to you as well.
11:34For this day, we are hoping that
11:36here in Metro Manila,
11:38the chance of rain is still high
11:40following the shear line.
11:42Actually, not only in Metro Manila,
11:44but also in Central Luzon,
11:46Calabarzon, Bicol Region,
11:48Eastern Visayas, Barinduque,
11:50Romblon, Occidental Mindoro,
11:52and Oriental Mindoro,
11:54Northeast Monsoon,
11:56Southeast Sky Swift Range,
11:58Cagayan Valley,
12:00and Cordillera Administrative Region.
12:02What kind of weather system is this,
12:04Veronica?
12:06Is this the shear line?
12:08Yes, this is the shear line
12:10that we feel in Metro Manila.
12:12Because today,
12:14we have a weather advisory,
12:16and we are hoping that
12:18in Metro Manila,
12:20the chance of rain is moderate to heavy.
12:22So, not just a little bit,
12:24because yesterday morning,
12:26it started just a little bit.
12:28But by the afternoon,
12:30until the evening,
12:32the chance is already high.
12:34Yes, you are right.
12:36So, we are hoping that
12:38the chance of rain is not just a little bit.
12:40Now,
12:42in Mindanao area,
12:44we are hoping that
12:46the weather will be better,
12:48and there are chances of localized thunderstorms,
12:50just like in Eastern Visayas.
12:52Veronica, this is different.
12:54It's not like me.
12:56As far as I remember,
12:58this is the first Christmas Eve
13:00and Christmas Day that it really rains.
13:02Yes,
13:04because of the effect
13:06of the shear line.
13:08During these times,
13:10it really rains in the eastern part
13:12of our country.
13:14But because of the effect
13:16of the shear line,
13:18it reached us in Metro Manila.
13:20Before the year changes,
13:22let's hope that there's a chance
13:24of thunderstorms.
13:26Because
13:28New Year's Eve is still far away,
13:30for now,
13:32we cannot say for sure.
13:34But at least in the next two to three days,
13:36we will not see
13:38thunderstorms
13:40in the PAR.
13:42But the formations
13:44of the LPA are not ruled out.
13:46Okay.
13:48At least for today, Christmas Day,
13:50especially for the residents
13:52of Ninong Ninang,
13:54they should bring their umbrella
13:56because it will continue to rain.
13:58Yes, that's right.
14:00Especially in the areas affected by the shear line
14:02and northeast monsoon.
14:04Merry Christmas and Merry Christmas
14:06to Weather Specialist Veronica Torres.
14:08Thank you. Merry Christmas.
14:10And even though the weather is rainy,
14:12the Christmas spirit of Filipinos
14:14is still alive.
14:16Just like in Tondo, Manila,
14:18where the residents of their
14:20street parties are always busy.

16:18there is no need for a grand celebration
16:20because Christmas is about love and giving.

19:18they expected Christmas to be happy
19:20was reduced
19:22according to a survey
19:24conducted by the Social Weather Station
19:26or SWS.
19:28That's 65%.
19:30It's lower than 73%

19:3410% said
19:36Christmas will be sad
19:38while 26% said
19:40it won't be happy
19:42or sad.
19:44The survey was conducted by
19:462,160 respondents
19:48through a face-to-face interview
19:50from December 12 to 18.
19:52The people we talked to
19:54in the Quezon Memorial Circle
19:56had different opinions.
19:58It's happy and sad.
20:00Why?
20:02Because
20:04the things we bought
20:06are expensive.
20:08Why is it happy?
20:10It's happy because
20:12we can celebrate.
20:14For the family,
20:16everything is fine.
20:18For us,
20:20Christmas is okay.
20:22It's happy and sad
20:24because
20:26I'm on duty now.
20:28My family is at home.
20:30We won't be together
20:32on Christmas.
20:34It's happy
20:36because
20:38I'm able to spend my days
20:40thanking God.
20:42It's happy
20:44compared to the pandemic.
21:06For more people to visit
21:08the Quezon Memorial Circle.
21:10First,
21:12Merry Christmas!
21:14I'm James Agustin for GMA Integrated News.
21:36Ivan, Merry Merry Christmas
21:38to all the tourists
21:40who came to Boracay
21:42and enjoyed some night activities
21:44on the island.
22:06There are many different establishments
22:08like the music of bands and singers.
22:10And
22:12their favorite is
22:14fire dancing.
22:16Luna is from Taiwan
22:18and witnessed the fire dance.
22:20I think it's very
22:22amazing because
22:24in Taiwan, Christmas is not like this.
22:26Very crowded
22:28and very happy.
22:30Some tourists
22:32chose to walk on the beachfront
22:34for their favorite white Christmas theme.
22:36It's okay because we're used to
22:38walking at night.
22:40We'll just enjoy it because
22:42we'll only be here for 3 days.
22:44If some tourists chose to enjoy,
22:46Mark's family went on vacation
22:48and spent time
22:50at the mass.
22:52Christmas is all about Jesus.
22:54I thought it was important during our vacation
22:56to come here
22:58and worship
23:00and do Simbang Gabi.
23:02The Balabag Church
23:04was one of the first churches
23:06to be built in Misa de Gallo.
23:08The tight security
23:10ensured that 84 police
23:12personnel were deployed
23:14in different parts of the island.
23:22Ivan, despite the
23:24traffic on the island this morning,
23:26there are still tourists
23:28enjoying the beach.
23:30Zero incidents
23:32were reported
23:34this Christmas
23:36on Boracay Island.
23:38That's the latest. Ivan, Merry Christmas!

25:36happy days and youth.
25:38It's still the same.
25:40We're all still together.

25:58And of course, my grandma's menudo.
26:00My mom's porkchop.

26:06it's not just the food
26:08but also the love,
26:10the laughter,
26:12and the memories
26:14that remind us
