00:00It was a happy game that ended up in a tragic tragedy.
00:06The children were rolled by a taxi in Caloocan.
00:10The 5-year-old victim died from a stab wound to the body.
00:14Her 6-year-old cousin was in the hospital.
00:17He was able to walk, but he was hit by a car and his bones were broken.
00:22Based on the CCTV footage, the children were taken away by a taxi driver,
00:26who was accompanied by another child.
00:28But the cousin was not able to stand up, so the taxi driver turned around.
00:32The driver was covered, but he was allowed to go home because he has not yet been charged.
00:36He tried to get a translation of the GMA Integrated News, but he was not able to contact.
00:44The victim of a gunshot wound has been in the country since December 22 until today.
00:50So that our countrymen will not hesitate to shoot,
00:53the authorities showed how dangerous it is.
00:56There is a report by John Tonsulta.
00:59One of the arms of this mannequin was cut when the left hand was hit by a 5-star-shot.
01:08How about the base of the shot that was placed on the right hand?
01:13This is done by PNDP-RO4A to show our countrymen how dangerous the use of...
01:21There, my fellow countrymen, it's so strong.
01:28All of its five arms were injured or were shot.
01:35This is hard plastic.
01:36As you can see, this plastic is very hard.
01:39How about the hand of a person?
01:42In that way, the Calabasan Police showed how dangerous it is for people to shoot.
01:49But there are still victims.
01:51In East Avenue Medical Center, eight people were shot.
01:55Seven of them were minors.
01:57He was the youngest.
02:00In Bacolod City, a 7-year-old man was shot in the leg and arm by a 5-star-shot.
02:06While a 14-year-old man was only lightly injured when he was hit by a can from a candle bomb.
02:14As of 6 a.m. today, December 27,
02:17101 firecracker-related injuries have been reported across the country.
02:22In the illegal firecrackers campaign, more than 200,000 firecrackers were caught by the Calabasan Police.
02:29They are trying to save the lives of children in Cavite and Batangas.
02:34According to the DOH Monday,
02:36firecrackers are the most popular firecrackers this year.
02:41In Bukawe, Bulacan, also known as the Fireworks Capital of the country,
02:45more and more people are buying firecrackers.
02:47But according to those who sell firecrackers there,
02:50The income now is not that big.
02:53At least, we will not lose money.
02:55If they buy firecrackers and travel,
02:58the BFP has a tip-off to avoid misfortune.
03:01The firecrackers are not directly hit by the sun.
03:05Do not move the packaging so that it does not spread.
03:09Avoid smoking while traveling.
03:12And when you get home, put the firecrackers in a safe place.
03:16But according to the DOH,
03:18firecrackers are just for a moment, but for a lifetime.
03:22So if you want to make sure that the celebration of the new year is safe,
03:26use an alternative sound.
03:30John Consulta reporting for GMA Indicator News.
03:35Last Friday of 2024, it's still a payday.
03:38And of course, it's a long holiday weekend.
03:40Many people are traveling again for the celebration of the new year.
03:44From NLEX, we have a live report from Jamie Santos.
03:47Jamie?
03:52Atom, the North Luzon Expressway is expected to be full of motorists
03:57who will pass through NLEX until the weekend.
04:00Passengers from some terminals are also full.
04:05The number of passengers arriving at PITX is low,
04:12so the line at the main entrance is longer.
04:15Today, the number of passengers at PITX reached 200,000.
04:19The majority are returning to Batangas, Bicol, Mindoro, and Visayas.
04:24But due to the heavy traffic on their main road in Camarines Sur,
04:29the return of some buses to PITX was delayed.
04:32That's why the number of buses to Bicol was increased.
04:35It's been 3 hours. It's annoying.
04:41But many Bicol passengers were already dismayed
04:44due to the damaged part of Andaya Highway in Lupica, Marines Sur,
04:47due to the traffic in the lane to Manila.
04:50There's no choice. That's how it is.
04:53So, we'll just follow the flow.
04:57At the bus terminal in Sampaloc, Manila,
04:59the number of passengers traveling to the north has also increased.
05:02In Naia Terminal 1, the number of passengers started to decrease.
05:06They expect to reach 159,000 passengers in Naia every day
05:12as the new year approaches.
05:18Atoms, at this time, there's a build-up of cars.
05:23Here in the rightmost lane, Balintawaktol Plaza is about to enter.
05:27Because of that, the RFIDOD cars are about to load.
05:31When the NLEX entered, the traffic was light to moderate.
05:34But when Lawang Bato arrived in Valenzuela,
05:37the running speed was around 20 to 30 kilometers per hour.
05:41Because of that, the volume.
05:43But after that, the travel to the length of the NLEX was straight.
05:47There are also NLEX patrol teams in the length of the NLEX
05:51this long weekend holiday.
05:53And that's the latest from NLEX.
05:55Back to you, Atom.
05:56Thank you very much, Jamie Santos.
06:02A Japanese national was killed after his truck was hit by a car
06:05in Mapandan, Pangasinan.
06:07Based on the investigation,
06:08the 75-year-old man was drunk and was sitting in the middle of the road.
06:13The truck driver didn't notice him,
06:15so he didn't immediately press the brakes.
06:17The victim even went down from the truck.
06:19The driver who is now in jail is asking for forgiveness.
06:24Three weather systems are now operating in the country.
06:27And according to speculation,
06:28the effects of those may last until the new year.
06:32Now, the problem in some places in Mindanao is the widespread flooding.
06:36J.P. Soriano has a report.
06:41Those men helped each other to open the gate
06:44because their neighbor was trapped.
06:47Because the flood in Don Marcerino in Davao Occidental last night.
06:54In the town of Malita,
06:55a river was damaged.
06:58The river overflowed up to the ear
07:00in a black caravan
07:02and a big truck that was hard to cross.
07:06In Tuguegarao City,
07:07a river was closed and flooded.
07:12According to speculation,
07:13three weather systems are now operating in the country.
07:17It rained in Northern Luzon,
07:19the Northeast Monsoon,
07:20or Hanging Amihan.
07:21The shear line also returned
07:23in the hot and cold winds.
07:26While the Intertropical Convergence Zone, or ITZZ,
07:30is spreading in a large part of the country
07:32and it rained in some parts of Luzon,
07:34including Visayas and Mindanao.
07:36According to Metraweather,
07:38it rained almost the whole weekend in the whole country.
07:41According to the Special Weather Outlook of Pag-asa,
07:43until the new year,
07:44there is no visible storm or bad weather that is possible to form
07:48in the Philippine Area of Responsibility.
07:50But it's good,
07:51because there are still showers
07:53in the eve of the new year
07:55until the first day of 2025.
07:58It is possible for it to rain,
08:00especially in Eastern Visayas and Mindanao
08:03because of the ITZZ.
08:05The shear line will affect Cagayan and Batanes.
08:09The chance of a thunderstorm
08:11in the remaining part of the country does not go away.
08:14JP Soriano reporting for GMA Integrated News.
08:21Even during the holiday season,
08:23scammers do not go on vacation.
08:25That's why the authorities are especially careful.
08:28To avoid being victimized,
08:30here's a tip-talk by Rafi Tima.
08:37In more than 1,000 complaints received
08:39by the Cybercrime Investigation Coordinating Center or CICC,
08:42the victims are often fooled
08:44into thinking that they are relatives
08:46or acquaintances who are asking for money.
08:48Online sellers have also been fooled
08:50into using the identity they stole
08:52from social media platforms.
08:54One day when they complained,
08:56a million scammers took it from them.
09:14That's why CICC is active in their campaign
09:16against various cybercrimes.
09:18The victims just called their hotline 1326.
09:36According to the PNP Anti-Cybercrime Group,
09:38the number of cybercrime cases in the country
09:40did not increase this year.
09:42But there are many victims during Christmas.
09:45That's why they will remind the public
09:47not to click any link you receive
09:49from text messages.
09:51As for emails,
09:52it's best to check if the message
09:54came from your bank's real email account.
09:56That's why it's best to double-check
09:58any transactions you make
10:00and not to be pressured
10:01to talk to online sellers.
10:04Rafi Tima reporting for GMA Integrated News.
10:08It's only been 5 days and it's already 2025.
10:11The round fruits and polka dots
10:13that are said to bring luck
10:15every new year are being sold again.
10:16Why is the round fruit good for Filipinos?
10:19Let's find out in the report of Katrina Son.
10:25From Batangas,
10:27Dianne Ileona and her friends
10:29went to Binondo, Manila
10:30to buy round fruits.
10:32Every year,
10:35life became better.
10:38The round fruits are said to bring luck
10:41because our business is flourishing.
10:45Fruit stalls in Binondo
10:47are full of people
10:49who want to buy 12 round fruits
10:51that they can eat every midnight.
10:54For me, this is already 12.
10:57Pinat is also sold
10:59and is placed at the door
11:01so that luck can enter.
11:03The same goes for Chinese lanterns
11:05and lucky coins.
11:06To attract wealth in the house,
11:08we need to display lanterns
11:12so that we can attract wealth every year.
11:15Speaking of round fruits,
11:17polka dots are also sold in Divisoria
11:20which is said to bring luck
11:22every new year.
11:24Because it's money.
11:26It's for luck.
11:27You'll have a lot of money.
11:29Our culture believes
11:31that the round fruit brings luck
11:34according to a sociologist.
11:36And because the round fruit
11:38is also a symbol of infinity
11:40there's no beginning and no end.
11:42The belief that luck is also alive
11:44has no end.
11:46The round fruit is associated
11:48with the shape of a coin.
11:51What's always in their minds
11:53is prosperity.
11:55The round fruit is also said
11:57to bring harmony or equal distance.
11:59But the sociologist reminds us
12:01that people's luck
12:03is dependent on their actions.
12:05You'll get those symbols
12:07if you're lazy.
