00:00Many were rushed to the hospital yesterday, on the first day of the new year.
00:05These included those who were hit by gunpowder, and those who were shot.
00:12That's what I witnessed.
00:17Until then, this 13-year-old man lost both of his hands.
00:21He also has a hole in his jaw, eye wounds, and other parts of his body.
00:27He was shot in the chest, according to the medic who brought him to the hospital.
00:33I asked him, how big was the bullet?
00:34He said, it was like a grenade.
00:35That's what his friend's mother said.
00:38The mother of the child refused to give her consent, due to heavy emotions.
00:43She is in mourning for the victims of the gunshot that was fired at the East Avenue Medical Center today.
00:49This 11-year-old woman, who was hit by a drunken rider, was injured in her back.
00:56You should be careful, because there are a lot of young people.
01:00But for those who are drunk, they run faster.
01:05She is one of the victims of a vehicular accident in the hospital,
01:09while celebrating the new year.
01:11There were also victims of gunshots.
01:14In Quirino Memorial Medical Center, 17 firecracker-related injuries were reported since yesterday.
01:21The victim of the gunshot was brought to Jose Arellas Memorial Medical Center in Manila.
01:29The hand of a patient in Tondo Medical Center was also injured by a gunshot.
01:35In Tindinan-Tinabang, Pinzala, his hand was completely cut off.
01:39The patient was heavily intoxicated.
01:41He didn't know what was shot at him.
01:43But most likely, he was touched by a powerful gunshot.
01:47He was one of those who were rushed to the hospital because of the gunshot,
01:50which reached almost 40 people this morning.
01:54But this afternoon, he was added to the group.
01:59He had a second-degree burn on his face and hand,
02:02after the gunshot exploded at 8 a.m. this morning.
02:07When the child was about to explode,
02:09he suddenly looked at him and the gunshot hit him in the face.
02:14They said it was a pountain of gunshots.
02:19The child also collected gunpowder from the used guns,
02:23along with a friend.
02:25He got a goodbye Philippines.
02:29He put the gunpowder in his abs.
02:33He signed a post-mortem.
02:35The one who died in the post-mortem was still alive.
02:39He was taken to the hospital.
02:41He was rushed to the hospital.
02:42Two men of the same age were the victims of the goodbye Philippines,
02:48which exploded near them.
02:50A child was hit by a lightning,
02:53and his right eye was injured.
02:56A man's lips were also injured after he was hit by a lightning.
03:00According to Dr. Bolseco,
03:02if you were hit by a lightning,
03:04it's better to go to the hospital to get a blood test,
03:08to avoid infection,
03:09and to get vaccinated against tetanus.
03:15Because of the prohibited fireworks,
03:17some friends played a game
03:19where half of the body of a 10-year-old man in Cavite was exposed.
03:23They thought there was no fire left inside the fireworks.
03:27They put a switch.
03:28When they put it in the club,
03:30it caught fire.
03:31At that time, I was at work.
03:33I was on duty.
03:34The child was rushed to the hospital,
03:36but even though a week had passed,
03:38he was still in pain.
03:40Tomorrow, when we go back,
03:42he won't be able to go in for the follow-up check-up
03:44because it's prohibited to expose his wounds to other things.
03:47He might get infected.
03:49Based on the monitoring of the Department of Health,
03:51the number of firecracker-related injuries in Bisweras in 2025
03:56is lower than in 2024.
04:00But it's possible to add if there are late reports.
04:04The number is also lower from December 22 to January 1,
04:08which is more than 300
04:10compared to more than 500 in the past year.
04:13The number of indiscriminate discharge of firearms
04:17or those firing a gun in Lubong in 2025 is higher.
04:21This is 27 compared to 20 in the past year.
04:26Five were injured there.
04:27It's lower than seven in the past year.
04:30Aside from the 21 arrests,
04:33we have 20 at-large suspects,
04:37even though they are identified.
04:40Three were injured in the six incidents of firecrackers.
04:44The three reported injured as a result of stray bullets
04:48were brought to the hospital
04:50and were treated by Lunas.
04:52So they are out of danger as reported to us.
04:57Some parts of Metro Manila were covered in smog or mixed with smoke and fog
05:03following the flood in Bagong Taon.
05:06The celebration was also left with a heap of garbage.
05:10This is Bernadette Reyes.
05:16Left and right garbage are piled up on the streets
05:19following the flood in Bagong Taon.
05:21Like Taft Avenue in Pasay earlier
05:23where the people of City Hall cleaned up early.
05:26In some parts of Pasig, garbage was also piled up on the streets.
05:30We even passed by the City Hall trucks.
05:34Even in Manila, the garbage was piled up in the mountains.
05:37That's why it was helped to be cleaned using broomsticks and tractors.
05:41There's a lot of corn husks.
05:44It's also the usual garbage.
05:46It's only natural that there's a lot of garbage in Bagong Taon.
05:50On the first day of 2025,
05:52this is how much garbage was piled up on Recto Avenue.
05:56According to the Department of Public Services,
05:59this is how much garbage was piled up from yesterday until earlier this morning.
06:03Aside from the garbage,
06:08some parts of Metro Manila were also covered in smog or mixed with smoke and fog.
06:13It was observed in Manila like P. Burgos, Jones Bridge and Divisoria.
06:18Even until 2 p.m.,
06:20smog was still visible in Kuhang in Mandaluyong and San Juan.
06:25The D.E.N.R. continued to investigate,
06:28but according to the Swiss research firm IQ Air,
06:31the air quality in Manila reached an unhealthy level today.
06:35The air quality index is more than 15 times higher
06:40than that of the World Health Organization.
06:43It is also recorded as the 16th most polluted air in more than 100 cities on the list.
06:49This is the air quality monitoring equipment used by the D.E.N.R. EMB
06:54to measure air pollutants in the environment,
06:57just like the smog.
06:59Not only in the environment does this air have an effect,
07:02because according to experts, it may be harmful to the human body.
07:06These fine particles may reach our bloodstream and our respiratory system.
07:14And in the case of smog,
07:18there are toxic substances that can cause cancer.
07:25It is more prone to myco-morbidities,
07:28such as asthma and cancer,
07:30so they are advised not to go out or wear a face mask.
07:34For GMA Integrated News, Bernadette Reyes, your Saksi.
07:40Along with the change of year,
07:42there will also be additional costs for consumers,
07:46such as the rise of smog in the water of Manila and Manila Water.
07:50But there is good news for households and some minimum wage earners.

08:29In the upper bayarins,
08:30the smog in the water has not yet been paid by Marites since November.

09:02if the current is high.
09:05That's more than P3 billion that will be paid to electricity consumers
09:09for three to six months.
09:11If you increase it, we will be pitied.
09:13We will be pitied.
09:15According to the Toll Regulatory Board,
09:17there is something wrong with their petitions
09:19on the increase of toll fees.
09:21They don't want to say the details of this,
09:23but if this continues,
09:25Antonio said that vegetables travelers,
09:27consumers will be affected.
09:29Of course, our costs will increase a little
09:32because of what we are going to sell.
09:38Starting today,
09:40the SSS contribution will increase by 15%.
09:4310% of this will be paid by employers
09:45while 5% will be paid by employees.
