00:00Disgraceful for motorists and cyclists, the loss of Center Island and the scattered concrete block on the separated road in Quezon City.
00:12These complaints were solved by your Kapuso Action Man.
00:20The loss of Center Island on Colonel Bonicerano Avenue in Quezon City
00:25was solved by your Kapuso Action Man in DPWH, Quezon City.
00:292nd District Engineering Office, March this year.
00:32Instead of holding the end of the road widening project,
00:37the middle part was scattered, the plant was planted, and there was debris of cement.
00:44Our lens has been hit several times.
00:48It counter-flowed to not being lame.
00:52My concern is the length of Bonicerano Avenue.
00:55There was an expansion recently and there was no follow-through.
01:00According to the District Engineer, the agency started the road widening project in 2018.
01:05The projector has 4 phases, worth P170 million.
01:10And this March 18, the 4th or last phase, 564 meters long, was started.
01:18Once we complete the widening of Bonicerano and remove the obstructions there,
01:25that will be the next thing we will do.
01:28On our return to the place where the last phase of the project was completed,
01:31which is currently located in Center Island.
01:38We also have good news regarding the length of the bike lane in East Avenue, Quezon City.
01:42The concrete blocks that are being complained for were brought by your beloved action man
01:47to the DPWH, Quezon City, 2nd District Engineering Office this June.
01:51It's scattered. It's like that. The placement is uneven.
01:56At night, when there's no light, we can't notice it.
02:01We can pass through it. It's simpler.
02:03Like some of our countrymen, when the pandemic hit,
02:07cycling became an alternative transportation.
02:11But if you ask me, and let me pass through East Avenue,
02:15the bike lane here in East Avenue, due to the condition of the concrete barriers,
02:20it's dangerous to pass through here.
02:23The concrete blocks that are being complained for were brought by your beloved action man
02:27to the DPWH, Quezon City, 2nd District Engineering Office this June.
02:30It's scattered. It's like that. The placement is uneven.
02:33Like some of our countrymen, when the pandemic hit,
02:36the concrete blocks that are being complained for were brought by your beloved action man
02:39to the DPWH, Quezon City, 2nd District Engineering Office this June.
02:43It's scattered. It's like that. The placement is uneven.
02:47Like some of our countrymen, when the pandemic hit,
02:50the concrete blocks that are being complained for were brought by your beloved action man
02:53to the DPWH, Quezon City, 2nd District Engineering Office this June.
02:57It's scattered. It's like that. The placement is uneven.
03:00Like some of our countrymen, when the pandemic hit,
03:03the concrete blocks that are being complained for were brought by your beloved action man
03:06to the DPWH, Quezon City, 2nd District Engineering Office this June.
03:09It's scattered. It's like that. The placement is uneven.
03:12Like some of our countrymen, when the pandemic hit,
03:15the concrete blocks that are being complained for were brought by your beloved action man
03:18to the DPWH, Quezon City, 2nd District Engineering Office this June.
03:21It's scattered. It's like that. The placement is uneven.
03:24Like some of our countrymen, when the pandemic hit,
03:27the concrete blocks that are being complained for were brought by your beloved action man
03:30to the DPWH, Quezon City, 2nd District Engineering Office this June.
03:33It's scattered. It's like that. The placement is uneven.
03:36Like some of our countrymen, when the pandemic hit,
03:39the concrete blocks that are being complained for were brought by your beloved action man
03:42to the DPWH, Quezon City, 2nd District Engineering Office this June.
03:45It's scattered. It's like that. The placement is uneven.
03:48Like some of our countrymen, when the pandemic hit,
03:51the concrete blocks that are being complained for were brought by your beloved action man
03:54to the DPWH, Quezon City, 2nd District Engineering Office this June.
03:58It was immediately notified to the municipality.
04:01That's why the local police started the investigation.
04:03The EOD team sent the PRO-5 for us to see the fishermen,
04:08who are 2.72 meters long from the nose to the tail.
04:12It's shaped like an explosive, sir. It's shaped like it's not working anymore.
04:19But there are indicators that the tip of the fish is an antenna.
04:23It has a hole, sir. That's what it's eyeing for, for its viewing.
04:29In the initial investigation by the police...
04:31The very visible marking, sir, the HY-119,
04:36our police searched the Internet and it came out, sir,
04:40that this refers to Chinese underwater navigation and communication system.
04:45That's what pushed us to turn it over to our brother, the Philippine Navy.
04:50According to a security analyst,
04:52if the so-called submarine drone is in China, it's not surprising why it's in this country.
04:57It's for military purpose, sir.
04:59Maybe for operations.
05:01Maybe they're looking at the underwater terrain for submarine operations, sir.
05:05For submarine warfare.
05:07I'm not surprised, sir.
05:09But China's head is really hot for us.
05:12Upon the recovery of the underwater drone,
05:15underwater drone led by China in Masbate,
05:17Rep. Ace Barbers said,
05:19that China is not far from conducting a long-term intel gathering inside the Philippine waters.
05:26Barbers again emphasized that they will make EDCA site their northern coast guard
05:32to protect the country's eastern seaboard against foreign intruders and smugglers.
05:37The Philippine Navy has yet to say if the so-called submarine drone is in China.
05:43We need to do further analysis on it
05:46so that we can say for sure where it came from, what it was used for, and what it does.
05:51But if it's color will be determined, it's not a military drone.
05:55By the initial description, and we saw its color,
06:00something like yellowish, yellow.
06:02Usually, bright colors like yellow, red, orange,
06:06these are for scientific research or for fish use,
06:10like tracking of schools of fish for fishing purposes.
06:14They are designed to be seen from the air, that's why the color is bright.
06:17So, it's not alarming.
06:19We are still trying to get the statement of the Chinese embassy about the submarine drone.
06:24Meanwhile, other security analysts,
06:28who were in Bajo de Macinloc on the first day of 2025,
06:33the monster ship of the China Coast Guard,
06:36which was accompanied by the other ships of the Coast Guard and the militia vessel there.
06:41Based on our monitoring on the 31st of June,
06:44we did not monitor any activity in the vicinity of Bajo de Macinloc.
06:48So, we are still corroborating the reports of other sources to really check.
06:52For GMA Integrated News, Ian Cruz, for 24 Hours.
06:57The DSWD assures that the ACAP or Ayuda Para sa Kapos Ang Kita program will not be used in politics,
07:05especially now that there will be elections.
07:07That is part of the question of a group in the 2025 National Budget.
07:13Tina Pangniban-Perez has the answer.
07:16Almost 5 million Filipinos who are considered near-poor or low-income
07:23have benefited from the ACAP or Ayuda Para sa Kapos Ang Kita program of 2024
07:29according to the Department of Social Welfare and Development.
07:32More than 26 billion pesos were distributed,
07:36less than more than half a billion in allocation.
07:40The beneficiaries received 5,000 pesos that can be used as medical assistance,
07:46food, shelter, or cash.
07:49To be included in the program, the income should be below the poverty threshold
07:54but it is not yet a beneficiary of any government program.
07:58But for the many who will benefit,
08:00there are those who ask if it is possible to use it in the upcoming elections.
08:05According to ACT Teacher's Party List,
08:07the funds for social services should be added
08:11as well as for education and health.
08:14This budget, as we said, is like a pile of pork.
08:23The budget removed from PhilHealth,
08:26the funds should be immediately received,
08:30including for the DepEd and other education sectors.
08:37But for the House Appropriations Committee,
08:40ACAP is showing that it can use the funds of the government without doubt.
08:47The DSWD, Department of Labor and Employment,
08:53and National Economic and Development Authority
08:55are working to pass guidelines for the issuance of funds for ACAP.
09:00DSWD is now insisting that the program cannot be used in politics.
09:07Social workers and non-politicians are the ones who blame the applications
09:13of those who want to join the program
09:15and say how much the beneficiaries will receive.
09:20The DSWD does not have an allocation for ACAP.
09:25For GMA Integrated News, Tina Pangaliban Perez,
09:29NAKA TUTOK 24 HORAS.
09:36Now in 2025, another mantra is in vogue.
09:39This is the You Know or You Only Need One.
09:43But what can our stars let go of this year for a minimalist life?
09:50Let's talk to Nelson Canlas.
09:55In the past few years, YOLO or You Only Live Once has become a mantra of millenials.
10:01Take risks and enjoy life.
10:04It's now or never.
10:08But this year, another movement is getting stronger.
10:11From YOLO to You Know or You Only Need One.
10:16It's like being minimalist.
10:17Simplicity of life.
10:19Just leave the needs aligned to the long-term goals.
10:23Sounds easy?
10:24Power bank.
10:25I won't give you the gadget.
10:27Just give me my power bank.
10:29But it's hard for other Gen Z and Millennial celebrities
10:32on what they will let go of for 2025.
10:37Material thing that I would let go.
10:40What is it?
10:43It's hard.
10:45It's hard.
10:46Games are not allowed.
10:50But not Isabel Ortega.
10:52From five black shirts and ten stickers,
10:55she's allowed to wear only one item.
10:58That's why her add-to-cart will be reduced this year.
11:01Actually, I do this yearly.
11:03I do close and clean-out.
11:05So, I take off clothes that I don't use much.
11:10Then, I donate others.
11:12It's like, in a way, giving back.
11:15Because of YOLO,
11:16the useless things in life should say goodbye
11:20so that they won't be a nuisance in the house.
11:22The perfume bottles that my mom doesn't throw away
11:27because she will keep it because she still has something to use.
11:30And not only material should be let go.
11:33Maybe the negativities in our lives,
11:36you need to let them go.
11:39In YOLO,
11:40we need to realize that the real thing that will make us happy
11:44is not the sudden decision and the collection of many.
11:48It can be in a few or even in just one.
11:52You know?
11:54Nelson Canlas, updated in Showbiz Happenings.
11:57Two people were arrested for stealing motorcycles.
12:02Motorcycles in Quezon and Laguna.
12:05One of them is just a minor.
12:08John Consulta was arrested.
12:10Exclusive!
12:15According to the CCTV footage of December 17,
12:18a man crossed the road in Quezon
12:20to get his food on the other side of the road.
12:23That's when a motorcycle stopped
12:26that he simply drove
12:27and quietly crossed the road.
12:31Usually, when they see a motorcycle,
12:33they will take it.
12:34They will look around first.
12:36It's just a motorcycle.
12:37Three of them were driving there.
12:39And then a suspect came down
12:41to get a motorcycle parked on the road.
12:45Almost two weeks later,
12:47he was arrested and one more
12:49at the border of Louisiana and Cavinti in Laguna
12:52when barangay tarot and police arrived
12:54while escaping
12:55after they caught another motorcycle in Cavinti.
13:00The police discovered
13:01that they were also the ones who stole the motorcycle
13:03that was caught in Quezon.
13:06The motorcycle that got away
13:07was the one that was stolen in Bilao.
13:09One of them is just a minor.
13:12When they called and reported
13:14that the motorcycle was stolen,
13:15they identified that the motorcycle that was stolen
13:18was the motorcycle that was stolen
13:21from two men they knew.
13:24Cavinti Police turned over the minor
13:26who was arrested by the DSWD
13:27while another suspect was arrested
13:29who was denied an allegation.
13:32That motorcycle was bought by me.
13:35I had nothing to do with it.
13:37We were just at the bypass.
13:40A reminder from Laguna PNP to motor riders.
13:43Don't leave your motorcycles.
13:46Put locks on them
13:48to avoid taking advantage of these carnappers.
13:54For JMA Integrated News, John Consulta,
13:5724 Hours.
14:00More than 500 victims of gunshots
14:03have been reported in Lubong since 2025.
14:07Although the number is lower than last year,
14:10the number of victims is high
14:12and most of them are children.
14:15Maki Pulido was shot.
14:20Back then, it was like there was a war
14:22because many patients were shot
14:24in the emergency room of PJH.
14:27Now, it's not as quiet anymore.
14:29There are only 17 cases since December 21
14:32out of more than 500.
14:35In the whole country,
14:36534 firework-related injuries
14:39were reported,
14:40which is less than 10%.
14:41Many of the cases are related to illegal gunshots
14:44such as boga and quitis.
14:46The health department also confirmed
14:48the death of one in Nueva Ecija
14:50due to a heart attack.
14:52Although there are three others
14:53who were killed by the JMA Regional TV
14:55in other provinces,
14:56and the number of gunshots is decreasing,
14:58there is a lot of blame on the victims.
15:00Most of them are children
15:02who were not shot but were just injured.
15:05That's why Health Secretary Ted Herbosa said
15:07that there is a need for a fireworks ban
15:09or a more strict implementation
15:11of community fireworks
15:12where only experts will hold the gunshots.
15:16Eye injuries and amputations are permanent
15:18and if they happen to a 10 to 14-year-old child,
15:22that is for life.
15:23That is for life.
15:24So that should be prevented.
15:25That should be zero.
15:27In Tondo, Manila,
15:28most of the victims of gunshots
15:30are drunk men.
15:31Due to drunkenness,
15:32one of the patients of Tondo General Hospital
15:35cut his hand.
15:36He was drunk.
15:37He probably forgot that he was holding a gun.
15:41So, eventually,
15:43the gunshot hit his hand.
15:45His entire hand had to be cut.
15:48Two were reported as victims of illegal gunshots.
15:51There were 30 cases of indiscriminate discharge of firearms.
15:5424 were arrested by the PNP.
15:57If the number of fireworks-related injuries decreases,
16:00the so-called Holiday Heart Syndrome
16:03or the increase of cases of stroke or heart attack
16:06during Christmas time increases.
16:08There were 146 cases of stroke
16:10from December 23 to January 2.
16:12Two died.
16:14There were 74 cases of acute coronary syndrome.
16:17One of them got sick.
16:19Once a year,
16:20the people who are high-risk decide
16:22once a year, I'll decide
16:24to violate my rules,
16:26to eat lechon,
16:27to eat fatty foods,
16:28to eat salty foods,
16:29and they end up in the emergency department
16:32as a stroke case.
16:34That's why the New Year's resolution
16:36is to eat right,
16:37exercise,
16:38and not to drink menthol
16:40as a maintenance medicine.
16:41For GMA Integrated News,
16:43Mackie Pulido,
16:44for 24 Hours.
16:50My fellow countrymen,
16:51the cold weather is expected

17:21the cold winds
17:23and hot easterly winds

17:43There will be heavy to intense

17:46that may flood
17:47or cause landslides.
17:49The rain will spread
17:50in Visayas and Mindanao.
17:51There is also a chance
17:52that it will rain in Metro Manila,
17:54especially by the afternoon.
17:55Meanwhile,
