00:00Tomorrow, the Commission on Elections released a list of national and local candidates for the election of 2025.
00:17The Commission was disappointed because before the election period, the promotional materials of their chosen candidates were already out.
00:24Darlene Cai was chosen.
00:30There was no campaign period yet, but wherever you look, the faces and names of the aspirants or candidates for the upcoming election have already spread.
00:38The Commission on Elections is not happy about that.
00:42The Commission on Elections is saddened. We would like to express that because we know that we will be affected by the law and the decision of the Supreme Court.
00:52It is very heavy for our situation and our citizens will be blamed because their faces have spread.
00:58But the Commission on Elections' hands are tied regarding this.
01:01They are not yet considered candidates, so the Commission on Elections has no power to sue the aspirants or to remove any of their promotional materials.
01:10The official election period will start on January 12, while on February 11, the campaign period of senatorial candidates and party list groups will start.
01:20They are only candidates on the first day of the campaign period.
01:23It means that everything they are doing now, there is no election law that will govern them.
01:28There is no prohibition, there is no violation.
01:31For now, the Commission on Elections will talk to those who want to run for the election.
01:35Slowly but surely, you know, let's not underestimate the intelligence of our countrymen.
01:42The Commission on Elections reminded us about the prohibition of the government to issue funds to projects related to public works and social services,
01:5045 days before the election, in accordance with the Omnibus Election Code.
01:54But if they clarify...
01:56The Commission on Elections does not allow those exemptions.
01:59In our opinion, it is not a political issue if it is not a project that is included in our budget and has been planned for a long time.
02:08The most difficult project is the one that the politician just thought of because it is running.
02:14It was said in an agreement of Camarines Sur representative Elrey Villafuerte
02:19that residents who live in places where calamities have occurred may be put in danger if some infrastructure projects are stopped,
02:27including roads and other infrastructure that was damaged by the past typhoons.
02:31But according to the Omnibus Election Code, calamities are automatically exempted from emergency work.
02:38The Commission on Elections will not stop providing assistance, but there should be no politician in the distribution itself.
02:44Your comelet will not be a bulwark in providing assistance to our poor countrymen.
02:50In the study of poor people, there are scholarships.
02:52There are benefits for families.
02:55There are benefits for the poor.
02:57There are burial services.
02:59There are burial services.
03:01We will not stop them.
03:03It just needs to be clear.
03:06What we are asked for is an exemption on how this will be done,
03:11who is the beneficiary, how much will be used, and the politician should not be present in the distribution.
03:18Tomorrow, the final list of candidates for the midterm elections will be released by Comelec.
03:23On Monday, January 6, the printing of balotas will start.
03:28For GMA Integrated News, Darlene Cai, Tutok 24 Horas.
03:32The monster ship of China, Coast Guard, according to security analyst Ray Powell, is getting closer to Luzon.
03:39In his post on social media, he said that the monster ship of China is only 50 nautical miles away from the mainland of Luzon.
03:49That is closer to the Philippine coast compared to Powell's first guess that the ship was at 120 nautical miles on the first day of the year.
03:58Those distances are within the 200 nautical mile exclusive economic zone of the Philippines.
04:05According to National Security Council Assistant Director General Jonathan Malaya,
04:09it is not surprising that the monster ship of China is getting closer to Bajo de Masilok because the ships of China have been occupying the area for a long time.
04:17Even though it is close, the Philippine coast is still getting closer.
04:22He will continue to deliver BFAR and PCG of crude oil and other supplies to the Philippine coast as support for their activities in the area.
04:34We are still trying to get the permission of the Chinese Embassy this year.
04:38A patent has been achieved by a company in Iloilo City for their scientific discovery.
04:45Isabella was asked about the process of breeding goats.
04:49That scientific breakthrough was made by Jonathan Andal.
04:55Meet these five growing kids.
04:59They are young goats that are the product of the process helped by the Department of Science and Technology at Isabella State University.
05:07That is the Embryo Transfer and Artificial Insemination that is also done to humans.
05:13The embryo is collected from a superior female goat donor and transferred to a surrogate that will give birth.
05:20The project team has completed the embryo transfer three times and the goats are safe to grow.
05:27The DOST is now targeting to teach embryo transfer to veterinarians in Region 2 so that the production of goats can be accelerated.
05:36It is a proud moment for a private university in Iloilo City that has used a pioneering patent for their scientific discovery.
05:45Dr. Dora Linda Lizay, Dr. Jonel Saludez, and Edna Sabido of the University of San Agustin discovered that some bacteria can be used as antibiotics in marine sand or sand in the sea of Iloilo.
05:59Under the patent, they have exclusive rights to develop, make, and sell the so-called antibiotics.
06:07For GMA Integrated News, Jonathan Andal for 24 Hours.
06:16Representation Matters.
06:18This is what some members of the deaf community did at the 50th Metro Manila Film Festival Best Picture, Green Bones, after watching the block screening.
06:27Here is my story.
06:32The 50th Metro Manila Film Festival Best Picture, Green Bones, was a block screening for some individuals who have difficulty hearing.
06:41The audience was excited not only for the story, but also for the representation of the deaf community in the award-winning film of GMA Pictures and GMA Public Affairs.
06:53Shena Stevens was born in Green Bones as a child who has difficulty hearing.
06:58Shena's historic birth gave her her first award, Best Child Performer at the MMFF in Parangal.
07:10One of the audience members, Camille, who is old and deaf, was given a cochlear implant to be able to hear.
07:18She was thankful and the production team thought of people who have difficulty hearing.
07:24Subtitles were a big help for the audience to understand the story.
07:33Without the subtitles, I don't think I would be able to understand the movie.
07:38But because of the subtitles, the expressions of the people, I'm able to understand it fully.
07:45So, if hearing alone, it's really hard.
07:50Maria appreciated a deaf individual whose representation of the deaf community is clear and inspiring,
07:58especially in the birth of MMFF 2024 Best Actor, Dennis Trillo.
08:03He was able to see himself in the movie, so his feelings became even stronger.
08:10Hearing the scene and all, it's really touching because we were there as a deaf representative.
08:21And then we saw how he signed, and we're really proud of him.
08:27And also the uncle, Dom. His facial expression was beautiful and his signing was wow.
08:33It's amazing.
08:42It's a trend to have a Lechon in Bohol because of its huge size.
08:47What's the occasion and why is there a Lechon Pajambo?
08:50Brother Kim, what's next?
08:53Just one look at this Lechon, and you'll fall in love with it.
08:58This Pajambo Lechon is really big.
09:01The viral Lechon, weighing 98 kilos, is ready to impress Roxanne and Bobby from Bilaran, Bohol.
09:08The occasion is to make you fall in love.
09:10Because of their huge size, it doesn't fit on their table.
09:13Don't be a pig. You're a calamity.
09:18We were really surprised because we didn't expect that the pig would reach that size.
09:27The pig that they sold as a Lechon, Bobby himself bought it for them to celebrate.
09:32He said that it should be roasted by October.
09:35Because supposedly, he said that it should be celebrated by us by October, but it was postponed.
09:45It reached December, that's why the pig that we raised was that big.
09:53Because of the size of the Lechon, the visitors didn't finish it.
09:56From December 27 until now, there's still a lot left.
10:03And it's in our refrigerator.
10:05And what we made as a dish was Paksiw, Pagpiprito.
10:10Kuya Pim, why do we Filipinos buy Lechon whenever there's an occasion?
10:15Kuya Pim, what is it?
10:17The preparation of Lechon whenever there's an occasion is already part of our culture and tradition.
10:21The preparation of Lechon is a symbol of hard work and enthusiasm.
10:25It's also expensive to make Lechon.
10:27That's why it's more special when it's ready.
10:30The word Lechon comes from the Spanish word Leche.
10:34It means milk.
10:36Back then, the Lechon was made by young pigs that were breastfed or breastfed by their mothers.
10:41Even the Spaniards named it Lechon.
10:43Did you know that before we were even in Cupi of Banyaga,
10:46our ancestors were already making Lechon.
10:50But did you know what is considered the Lechon capital of the Philippines?
10:54This is the Loma in Quezon City.
10:56This is Kuya Pim who's reminding us.
11:00Be careful when eating Lechon.
11:02So that we won't easily get high blood pressure.
11:08After preparing for the holidays, some Filipinos go straight to the gym to lose weight and extra calories.
11:15But according to a fitness coach, you should not surprise yourself in your fitness journey.
11:20The first thing you should do is to watch out for the return of Alindog 2025 in the game of Bonaquino.
11:33After getting full from the preparations for Christmas and New Year, some go straight to the gym.
11:40So that I can burn the extra calories that I ate during the holiday season.
11:44I think it's very, very important to be healthy.
11:48For those who are having a hard time coming back from exercising,
11:51or those who want to start their fitness journey this 2025,
11:55according to fitness coaches, you should start slowly.
12:00Just 10 minutes of movement in the morning,
12:02then gradually it will build up until it becomes consistent.
12:05Maybe by March, the consistency will be 1 hour.
12:09The gradual exercise and movement should be done routinely and become consistent here.
12:14Have the right nutrition, manage stress, give priority to sleep and recovery.
12:21Rest is where the muscles build up.
12:25For example, on Monday you exercise, the next day you are sore.
12:29There is a science called micro-tear.
12:32So there are tears in the muscles.
12:33So to recover, you don't need to pound it.
12:36You just need to rest.
12:37And be realistic in setting your fitness goals.
12:41Don't pressure yourself like a beach body that should be in 3 months.
12:45Take your time.
12:46Just enjoy the process.
12:47We need to have motivation.
12:50That's our goal in the long term.
12:53It's a lifestyle.
12:54According to the Department of Health, avoid foods that are salty, fatty, oily and sweet.
13:03We control hypertension, possible cause of stroke and heart attack.
13:08Number 2 is diabetes, which is one of the top causes of kidney dialysis.
13:16Follow the Filipino saying that there are more vegetables and fruits.
13:20Drink enough water and reduce rice and noodles.
13:23The last is discipline in the body.
13:26Sleep, hydration, smoking, vaping, alcohol and of course drugs.
13:35For GMA Integrated News, Vonn Aquino reporting for 24 Hours.
13:40And because the holiday season is over, passengers in the Paranaque Integrated Terminal Exchange show PITX.
13:47Boots are constantly arriving at the loading and unloading dock where passengers are loaded and unloaded.
13:54We can also find MMDA around PITX where many drivers are stuck.
14:00And there's another one that can be reached while sleeping.
14:04Some vehicles were also hit along Andrews Avenue and in Bandang Tramo.
14:10The Provincial Government of Bohol is investigating the destruction of coral in Panglao Sea.
14:16According to Governor Errico Aris Omentado, the coral reef was destroyed yesterday.
14:25They know who gave the coral because of its age or it moved and destroyed it on purpose.
14:32Their plan is to temporarily close the affected coral reef while rehabilitating the damaged corals.
14:39Panglao is also known as one of the best dive sites in the world.
14:48New Year, new manifestation and mantra are some of the hearts from All Out Sundays.
14:53And because it's 2025, their performances will also level up in Kapuso Sunday Musical Show.
15:00Here's my take on it.
15:04Fiercer, bolder, and definitely leveled up.
15:09That's what some AOS Barcadas are manifesting in 2025.
15:15Like Julian San Jose who is planning concerts here and abroad.
15:20He's also planning to return to the series in 2025.
15:24But this year, Asia's Limitless star will focus more on her mental health.
15:31For this year, I want to focus really on my growth.
15:35And to calm my mind and peace of mind.
15:45Rita Daniela will also release her single this January.
15:49She will make her motherhood better.
15:52She learned a lot in 2024 that she will bring this year.
15:58We are on the right path.
16:00And whatever it is, I will bring it with all my heart.
16:08With love and trust in God.
16:11Rising up to every challenge is also what Kaileen Alcantara learned 100 years ago.
16:17But she didn't give up.
16:19That's why she appreciates herself more now.
16:22It was pretty rough at first.
16:24You know, rebuilding myself again as a person and as an actress.
16:29But throughout 2024, I felt that God was there with me.
16:34Mark Bautista will return to the stage this year.
16:38His mantra in 2025 is to do what he loves.
16:43What I'm thinking now is to work harder, travel more, and create more art.
17:05Watch out for 2025 because we're gonna do a lot of different things.
17:09So it's not gonna be your usual AOS.
17:11Watch out.
17:12And it's not gonna be the usual opening.
17:14It's not gonna be the usual production numbers.
17:16There will always be different flavors.
17:18One of my mantras is to be a better performer.
17:22So that we can do better.
17:23But definitely, there are a lot of challenges in the all-out song list.
17:27Especially now that it's the 75th anniversary of GMA.
17:30So we have a lot of challenges.
