NewsTranscript
00:00And for those who want to relax during this holiday break,
00:03the fresh air and beautiful scenery in some parks in Manila,
00:07Malv Gonzales was able to do it.
00:12Unlike last Christmas,
00:14today is sunny in Luneta Park in Manila,
00:16but there are still a few people walking around.
00:18That's why the display is full of people taking pictures.
00:22Even Rizal's monument is still full of flowers
00:25after the Rizal Day celebration yesterday.
00:28Most of the people we talked to
00:30visited from the provinces,
00:32like Jello, who's visiting Luneta for the first time,
00:35and Vacacion En Grande before the year ends.
00:37I'm from Buscalan because I joined the Union,
00:40and I just did a side trip here
00:43before going back to Cebu.
00:45It's nice here.
00:46It's really rich in history and culture of the Philippines.
00:50Because there are a lot of displays,
00:52the kids are having fun walking around.
00:54It's fun.
00:56What did you do today?
00:58We just took pictures of Rizal's monument.
01:00You can have a picnic here,
01:02but there are still no people this afternoon,
01:04unlike last year,
01:05when there were almost no people sitting on the grass.
01:08Another attraction in Manila
01:10that doesn't have a lot of people,
01:13is Arroceros Forest Park,
01:14which is located near Manila City Hall.
01:17Metro Manila only categorized
01:18this more than 2-hectare park.
01:21But you won't only see trees here,
01:23because on the other side,
01:25you have a view of the Pasig River.
01:27And you can enjoy all of this for free.
01:31Patrick comes here every day
01:33since he discovered Arroceros.
01:35Why are you here on New Year's Eve?
01:37I want to relax.
01:39I want to think about the plans for the next year.
01:43Aside from the fresh air,
01:44there's also a fountain,
01:46meditation area,
01:47koi pond,
01:48and picture-perfect walkways
01:50for people who are on a date.
01:52The park is open from 7 in the morning
01:54until 5 in the afternoon.
01:56You can go to the park 24-7
01:59outside with a fountain
02:01and a view of the Metropolitan Theater.
02:03To remind visitors of the parks,
02:06clean as you go.
02:07But if you can't leave trash in the parks,
02:10the people who come here
02:12have something they want to leave in 2024.
02:15Aside from the problems,
02:17the negative vibes.
02:18The failure,
02:19the struggle,
02:21the anxiety,
02:22and the family problems.
02:25We're in the online business
02:27so there's a lot of rejection
02:31and problems.
02:35So we'll leave it in 2024.
02:37A more positive outlook in 2025.
02:39Yes.
02:40It's like love life.
02:41Love life? Leave him.
02:43Let's leave him.
02:45It's just like that.
02:46And the people who have no purpose in life.
02:50That's all.
02:51Let's not name them.
02:53There's none.
02:54It's just a happy life.
02:55It's a happy life.
02:57And I wish good health for everybody.
03:02And peace.
03:03For GMA Integrated News,
03:05Mav Gonzales,
03:06for 24 Hours.
03:09The Bureau of Immigration
03:11asked the Pogo workers
03:13who are still here in the country
03:14to voluntarily leave
03:16so they won't be blacklisted and deported.
03:19It's the last day
03:20of their trip abroad
03:22and they won't be allowed to leave.
03:24Jonathan Andal is live.
03:30The Pogo workers
03:32chased the December 31 deadline.
03:34Until today,
03:35they were only given
03:36the government's permission
03:37to leave the Philippines.
03:39There's no extension.
03:41No extensions for this deadline.
03:43Anyone who will be left in the country
03:45after the December 31 deadline
03:47will be blacklisted
03:49and deported from the Philippines.
03:52In the last few days,
03:53we monitored
03:54big groups of foreign nationals
03:56that were leaving
03:57used to be working
03:59in online gaming companies.
04:01Maybe now,
04:02on the last day,
04:03only a few thousand are left.
04:05According to the Immigration,
04:06the Pogo workers
04:07can return to the Philippines
04:09if they voluntarily left the country
04:11and worked legally.
04:13If they have a legitimate reason
04:17to come back to the Philippines,
04:19just like what we heard
04:21from the families here in the Philippines,
04:23then they may do so.
04:25They can consider returning
04:27to the Philippines
04:28because they are not blacklisted.
04:30On December 15,
04:31all Pogo licenses were cancelled.
04:33But the Presidential Anti-Organized
04:35Crime Commission said,
04:36there are still Pogo workers
04:38who are running
04:39small-scale operations.
04:41That's why,
04:42when January comes,
04:43the Pogo workers
04:44will return to the country
04:45for a re-raid.
04:46One of the first ones
04:47are Pogo workers
04:48who are hiding in resorts
04:49according to a recent report
04:50from PAOC.
04:51Sometimes,
04:52they will occupy
04:53the entire resort.
04:54They will operate
04:55a large amount,
04:56if possible.
04:57And they will occupy
04:58for 6 months
04:59up to 1 year.
05:00Yes,
05:01those are on our priority list.
05:03They also received a report
05:04from government officials
05:06in the provinces
05:07that there is a noticeable
05:08indication of Pogo
05:09in their area.
05:10There is in the north.
05:11There is also here
05:12in Region 4A.
05:14Because they can see
05:15a lot of sun-tracked computers,
05:18equipment,
05:19cables.
05:20And what they are showing
05:22is that there will be
05:23call centers,
05:25but actually,
05:26there are no permits.
05:27So,
05:28we are asking
05:29local government officials
05:31on what to do.
05:34For GMA Integrated News,
05:36Jonathan Andal
05:37reporting for 24 Hours.
05:40Friends and relatives
05:41are now together
05:43for the cold welcome
05:44of the new year
05:46in the City of Pines.
05:47The situation there,
05:49let's find out
05:50in the live coverage
05:51of EJ Gomez.
05:52EJ.
05:57Emil,
05:58we are getting closer
05:59to the official
06:00start of the year 2025.
06:03And here in Baguio City,
06:04it's already dark
06:05and it seems
06:06that it's getting colder.
06:07The excitement
06:08in our hearts
06:09will be greater
06:10in welcoming
06:11the new year
06:13here
06:14in the summer capital
06:15of the Philippines.
06:20This New Year's Eve,
06:22the number of tourists
06:23in Baguio City is increasing.
06:25Most of the hotels
06:27and transit homes
06:28in the city
06:29are almost full
06:30according to the Baguio City
06:31Tourism Office.
06:32We've seen full capacity
06:33for many of these.
06:35Our total capacity
06:37for one night
06:38for all of these
06:39accommodation establishments
06:41can reach up to 80,000.
06:43According to the Baguio LGU forecast,
06:45the temperature in Baguio City
06:47will reach up to 15 degrees Celsius
06:49on the last day of 2024.
06:52Since last night,
06:53the streets in the central business district
06:55of Baguio City
06:56have been lively.
06:58There are people shopping,
07:00playing,
07:01bonding with family and friends,
07:03and food trips.
07:06For many,
07:07the Baguio experience
07:08is not complete
07:09if we don't come here
07:10to the night market.
07:12Many are saving
07:14because of the cheap prices.
07:16The additional income
07:17of the vendors
07:18can reach up to triple
07:20or more
07:21during the holiday season.
07:23For my own,
07:24I have two jackets
07:25and one trouser.
07:27And her,
07:28two jackets,
07:30about 1,000.
07:321,000 pesos.
07:33We are the winner
07:34in terms of quality.
07:35We can only recover
07:36our sales.
07:37There are a lot of visitors
07:38from Christmas
07:39until now,
07:40New Year.
07:41For now,
07:42no major incidents
07:43have been reported
07:44related to the fire
07:45according to the
07:46Disaster Risk Management Office.
07:48We have,
07:49I think,
07:50three or five
07:51firecracker-related
07:53incidents.
07:54But so far,
07:55it's a generally peaceful one.
07:57So basically,
07:58we haven't had a heavy incident
07:59that responded.
08:00Earlier this afternoon,
08:01there was a ceremonial destruction
08:03of the Baguio City Police Office
08:05of the fires
08:06that reached
08:07almost 5,000.
08:09More than 150 of these
08:11are full of
08:12improvised firecrackers.
08:14We showed that
08:15these will be destroyed
08:17to discourage
08:19our countrymen.
08:21Other preparations are being made
08:23for the long-awaited
08:242025 countdown
08:26in Baguio City.
08:32According to the Baguio City Police,
08:34the number of PNP personnel
08:36deployed in the entire city
08:39is to maintain
08:40the order
08:41in welcoming
08:42the new year.
08:43Meanwhile,
08:44the fireworks display
08:45of Baguio City
08:46is not yet ready.
08:47It's already noisy
08:48here in Rose Garden
08:49at Burnham Park
08:50because
08:51the DJ party
08:52has already started.
08:54Behind me,
08:55the kids
08:56and some of the
08:57vacationers
08:58are already
08:59dancing.
09:00And of course,
09:01we also saw
09:02some people
09:03making noise
09:04with their
09:05torotos.
09:07Happy new year
09:08to our
09:09fellow citizens
09:10and to you
09:11in the studio.
09:12Emil?

09:14Ma'am Vicky,
