00:00The line is long for travelers to their provinces and counties before the new year.

00:20In the form of Integrated Terminal Exchange or PITX, travelers are waiting to get on the train.

00:29Seats are running out due to the large number of passengers.

00:33This is not a problem for some because the important thing is that their loved ones are with them

00:40in welcoming the new year.

00:43Travelers are also added to Terminal 3 of Ninoy Aquino International Airport.

00:51Aside from those returning home to their families,

00:54many will also leave and return to their countries where they are working.

01:03It's midnight already.

01:04While many of us are already prepared,

01:06there are still those who are chasing their last trips to be with their loved ones in welcoming the new year.

01:13And live from Cebu City,

01:14first news is Nico Sereno of GMA Regional TV.

01:18Nico, may I come in?

01:21Yes, Ivan. We are here now at Pier 1 in Cebu City

01:25where there are still travelers chasing their last trips to their provinces to be with their loved ones in welcoming the new year.

01:36On the last Sunday of 2024,

01:38the news team reported that many passengers came to the province here in Cebu City

01:44to return home to their country and province.

01:47Because of the number of travelers who left Cebu City before Christmas,

01:51shipping companies have also announced that the trip will be full especially today.

01:56In order for the public to safely and safely travel,

02:00the authorities are also on duty.

02:02There are help desks at the terminals.

02:06It's a hassle.

02:08But it's okay. It's a good thing that we're traveling.

02:12What time did you arrive?

02:14Around 12 o'clock.

02:16Did you arrive around 3 o'clock?

02:18No, no. Actually,

02:201 o'clock or 2 o'clock.

02:22But it's already full.

02:24Around 3 o'clock?

02:26Yes, around 3 o'clock.

02:28It's okay.

02:30Because of the expected number of travelers at the Cebu South Bus Terminal,

02:35the Tagalan Transportation Franchising and Regulatory Board conducted an inspection.

02:41They inspected the buses and vehicles at the terminal

02:43to see if the policies implemented properly.

02:47This includes not overloading the passengers.

02:51They also inspected the papers of the vehicles

02:54and inspected if they have a fraud.

02:58According to the passengers,

03:00it's better to travel early

03:02if there are more passengers,

03:04especially today.

03:06Franchise, registration,

03:08and most importantly,

03:10insurance.

03:12Did you check the practice?

03:14Overloading?

03:16Yes, overloading.

03:18The passengers will be assisted

03:20if they have a fraud.

03:28Ivan, the authorities are now monitoring

03:30the return of travelers to Cebu City

03:32starting tomorrow,

03:34New Year's Day,

03:36January 2.

17:10and other biotech devices. More or less, the amount is around 2.4 million worth of confiscated illegal firecrackers.

17:23Lastly, what is our advice to our police, especially on firing their guns?

17:31We are urging our police not to use their service firearms during celebrations or during Christmas celebrations.

17:41They should pay attention to their duties and they should know that we will be more strict when it comes to the use of firearms.

17:52We are hoping that our field commanders will follow this and supervise this so that their policemen will be alerted.

18:01Police Brigadier General Jin Fajardo, thank you very much ma'am. Happy New Year to our PNP.

18:06Thank you very much sir. Happy New Year.

18:09The Department of Health is targeting the increase in the number of diseases during the holiday season.

18:14The number of people who suffered from stroke has increased.

18:16From 12 cases, there are now more than 103.

18:20Two have recovered.

18:22The number of cases of acute coronary syndrome has also increased to 62.

18:26One has just recovered.

18:28The number of cases of bronchial asthma has also increased to 63.

18:33DOH's recommendation is to avoid excessive eating, drinking alcohol, drinking alcohol and stress.

18:39See your doctor immediately if you experience chest tightness or difficulty in breathing.

18:45Maintain proper blood pressure and be active in physical activities.

18:51See if you experience weakness or weakness in your body.

18:56Avoid things that can cause asthma such as sneezing and coughing.

19:00Maintain a clean environment and make sure that you always bring your inhaler and medicines.

19:07Meanwhile, President Bongbong Marcos passed the national budget for 2025, which is P6.326 trillion pesos.

19:16That is lower than approved by the Bicameral Committee because some projects were left under the DPWH,

19:22as well as the part of the unprogrammed appropriations.

19:26Here is my first news.

19:28The approved 2025 General Appropriations Act or the budget for the next year is P6.326 trillion.

19:40P6.326 trillion is lower than the approved budget by the Bicameral Committee of the Senate and the House of Representatives.

19:45The President did not approve P6.326 trillion pesos under the DPWH,

19:52which was added by the Congress in their version.

19:55The unprogrammed appropriations is now P168 trillion.

20:00After an exhaustive and thorough review, we have directly vetoed over P194 billion worth of the line items

20:08that are not consistent with our program priorities.

20:11These include allocations for certain programs and projects of the Department of Public Works and Highways

20:17and those under the unprogrammed appropriations which increased by 300%.

20:23Under the approval of the DPWH, it is now clear that the allocation of funds for the education sector is the largest according to Palacio.

20:32This is one of the reasons why the Bicam budget was approved.

20:36This is contrary to the Constitution which states that the budget for education should be the largest.

20:43According to the P6.326 trillion budget,

20:46P1.055 trillion or 16.69% is for education,

20:51including the funds of CHED, TESDA, state universities and colleges,

20:56and the division of the funds for the high wages of teachers and the construction of classrooms.

21:01More than P10 billion was allocated for the computerization program of the DepEd,

21:05and it was not returned.

21:07But according to the DBM, this is one of the priorities for the allocation of funds under the unprogrammed appropriations.

21:13As long as we have additional revenue from the DOF,

21:17we can actually increase the budget of DepEd, specifically for computerization.

21:24P1.007 trillion or 15.93% is the largest budget for the DPWH.

21:30The projects that have been vetoed are actually some of the projects that we consider

21:37that are not totally supportive to the eight-point socioeconomic agenda of the government,

21:45of this administration.

21:47And besides, I think many of these projects are projects that need to be scrutinized

21:54and ready for implementation.

21:59These are some of the projects that are not ready for implementation.

22:02It was not vetoed, but the conditions for the allocation of funds for the controversial fund of ACAP

22:08or aid for low-income households included DSWD, DOLE and NEDA,

22:13which was allocated P26 billion.

22:15I applaud this because the aid should not go to the congressmen

22:19and their pork barrel can only be used.

22:22Who will really go to this ACAP?

22:26The services should be increased in exchange for the workers' aid.

22:34We can check that.

22:36Those people who notice that, they can complain.

22:40And then we will go to investigate.

22:43You see, we cannot just...

22:45You know, our law presumes good faith in everyone.

22:50All actions in good faith.

22:52If you are in good faith, that's when you come now.

22:54Your religion or the people you agree with.

22:57Aside from ACAP, there are 11 other projects that need to be implemented.

23:01The Zero Subsidy in PhilHealth,

23:03which was also one of the projects that the BICAM budget cut,

23:06has not been returned and remains zero.

23:08But there is nothing to worry about,

23:10because PhilHealth's services will not only continue, but will expand

23:14in exchange for the government's Zero Subsidy.

23:17Congress did that.

23:19Because the budget for the corporate operating budget of PhilHealth is sufficient.

23:26So they have reserved funds of roughly P280 billion.

23:30We in the Department of Finance, next year, we will focus on PhilHealth.

23:34We will make sure that we spend the budget better.

23:40Maybe we should concentrate on the top 10 illnesses.

23:43I don't think you have to increase 9,000 case rates.

23:46The budget of the Office of the President includes P5.2 billion.

23:49But this is just the beginning of the preparations

23:52for the hosting of the ASEAN Summit of the Philippines in 2026.

23:56The increase in the budget was accompanied by a wave of protests.

23:59According to the black people, they should have brought this whole.

24:02That's what they are thinking. Let's transfer this here.

24:05Let's transfer this. Let's add this.

24:07So that the people won't be exasperated.

24:09If you just bring a few line items, what they need is a surplus.

24:12It should have been done. This should have been brought back to Congress.

24:14So that the funds can be added for public services.

24:19And not for patronage, politics, and pork barrel.

24:23The palace is confident in the budget set by the President.

24:26But he admitted that the black people here cannot be stopped.

24:30We are confident but we cannot prevent.

24:33If there will be challenges that will be mounted by any quarter,

24:38who might still find this present budget as approved,

24:43worthy of the challenge.

24:45Said Senate President Chiza Escudero,

24:47even if it will take a long time,

24:49it is important to sign the 2025 GAA before the year ends

24:53so that there won't be a reenacted budget.

24:55Now that the budget has passed,

24:57the government's programs should be implemented immediately.

25:00According to House Speaker Martin Romualdez,

25:02the budget reflects the commitment of the President and the Congress

25:06to improve the lives of Filipinos.

25:08This is the first news.
