00:00This is the first news, Darlene Cai.
00:25This is what the ballots will look like in the election of 2025.
00:30The font style of the names of the candidates is bold to make it easier to see.
00:34The colors are also more harmonious compared to what was used in the election of 2022.
00:38There are also security marks.
00:40The Commission on Elections has selected one of the 1,667 ballot face templates
00:46that will be the basis for printing the ballots.
00:49After the Law Department, within the day, finish everything.
00:53They will check and return it to our ITD group.
00:57So what is the next step that they will do?
01:00They will implement everything, encode everything.
01:04After that, they will serialize it.
01:07That is the serial number.
01:09There is a distinct and specific serial number for each ballot.
01:13All of that can be seen on the official website of the Commission
01:16for all candidates and voters to check.
01:18You can also see on the ballot face template
01:20that the names of the disqualified or declared nuisance candidates
01:25as long as the decision of the Comelec is final and executory.
01:28But what about the candidates who will just come out of the decision in their case?
01:33We will prioritize overseas and local absentee voting.
01:37The Law Department has sufficient time to implement.
01:40What will we do if the TRO can get it?
01:42It will stay in the ballot.
01:44What will we do if there is a case where the MR is pending?
01:48The Comelec has not decided yet.
01:50And bang, it will still stay in the ballot.
01:52From here at the Comelec Minion Warehouse,
01:54they will bring to the National Printing Office
01:56the hard drives containing the serialized ballot face templates.
02:00The Comelec's target is to print 1 million ballots a day.
02:04The Comelec assures that the exact number of ballots will be printed
02:08based on the exact number of voters.
02:10They are also preparing the 4,000 automated counting machines or ACM
02:15that will be brought to different places in the Philippines
02:17for the training of all poll workers.
02:20They will not be able to finish the training
02:22because each member of the Electoral Board needs to be DOSD certified.
02:26They are being tested and examined.
02:28And then and only then, when they pass,
02:30they will be allowed to serve.
02:32This is the first news.
02:34Darlene Cai for GMA Integrated News.
02:38Manila is one of the few provinces in the NCR that was hit by garbage
02:42after the flood in the new year.
02:45The former garbage collector of Lunsod did not return.
02:49We have with us Mayor Honey Lacuna.
02:53Mayor Lacuna, good morning.
02:55Good morning, Igan. Good morning to all of you.
02:59How will it be if the garbage collected in Lunsod is collected?
03:05We will continue to collect garbage from all over Manila.
03:11Why did that happen, Mayor?
03:14According to our recent report from our DPS,
03:21the former service provider did not collect garbage in other places before the new year.
03:30That's why the amount of garbage collected by the new service provider did not double when January 1 came.
03:42When did the former waste management collector finish his contract?
03:49December 31, Igan.
03:51December 31?
03:53Yes.
03:54Were the new contractors not able to collect garbage?
04:00They were the ones who collected garbage since January 1.
04:04However, those who were left behind on December 30 and 31, they were the ones who collected garbage.
04:12That's why four times the amount of garbage was collected by them.
04:19When did they stop collecting garbage until December 31?
04:26There are places that do not collect garbage until December 31.
04:31That's why we have countrymen who are calling us,
04:36they were not able to pass by the former service provider since December 31.
04:41That's why they are taking out their garbage on the streets,
04:48which was collected by our new service providers on January 1.
04:53But Mayor, is that the system?
04:56I will just throw the garbage outside my house.
04:59Are we not going to a collector?
05:03That's what we are calling on our countrymen.
05:07While the garbage collector is not passing by, they should not go outside.
05:15We cannot blame them if they have a lot of garbage inside their homes.
05:22That's why, maybe they want to collect garbage on the streets.
05:30I am asking for an amendment to the problem of our garbage, to our countrymen.
05:38We will do our best to finish all our garbage collection this week and we will return to our regular collection.
05:51There are complaints from the establishments and businesses that are affected, especially those who are sick.
05:58Is the LGU able to help them?
06:00First of all, we are prioritizing these establishments, especially our countrymen.
06:08We are prioritizing them to collect garbage.
06:13Our health centers are also open to help those who are sick because of the garbage.
06:24Our collection will start on January 1.
06:29We have been doing this for 24 hours.
06:33Will this not affect the route, Mayor, of the translation?
06:38No. We have ensured that before the translation arrives, the route of the procession will be clean.
06:49Meanwhile, there are two pistas, San Tonino, Sotundo and Nazareno.
06:54That's right.
06:55How is the LGU's control of these pistas in Lungsod?
07:00Like in the past years, drinking is prohibited in these places.
07:08The police is working together to maintain the order in these places, in the upcoming pistas.
07:20Lastly, is there any compensation for the former garbage contractor in the prison?
07:27That's what we are studying right now.
07:30We will surely find a solution to this problem.
07:38Thank you very much, Manila Mayor Hanny Lacuna.
07:40Be careful. Happy Fiesta.
07:41Happy Fiesta. Thank you very much. Good morning.
07:46Before the long-awaited feast of Jesus Nazareno,
07:49there are devotees who attended this morning in the Minor Basilica and National Shrine of Jesus Nazareno in Manila.
07:57We have live news, James Agustin.
08:00James.
08:05Good morning.
08:06The feast of the Minor Basilica and National Shrine of Jesus Nazareno in Quiapung, Manila continues this Monday.
08:16Early in the morning, the devotees of Quiapung, Manila attended the feast of the Minor Basilica and National Shrine of Jesus Nazareno in Manila.
08:20At his homily at 5 a.m. this morning, Reverend Father Robert Arellano said,
08:26that every feast of Jesus Nazareno is the love of God.
08:30The call of Jesus Nazareno is for us to return to the Kingdom of God.
08:34And we can do that if we will return.
08:37There are not that many devotees this morning.
08:40And Plaza Miranda is very clean.
08:43There are teams of the Philippine Coast Guard who are going around here for inspection,
08:47including the K-9 unit, not only in the vicinity of the Church, but also in the nearby establishments.
08:53Meanwhile, the third schedule of the feast of the Minor Basilica in Quiapung Church is ongoing.
08:58Until 10 a.m. this morning, the feast of the Minor Basilica will be held here.
09:02It will be followed at 5 p.m. and 6 p.m.
09:06That is the first news from Quiapung, Manila.
09:08I am James Agustin for JEMA Integrated News.
09:14And there are other preparations and activities for the feast of Jesus Nazareno.
09:19We will be joined by the speaker of Nazareno 2025
09:23and Minor Basilica and National Shrine of Jesus Nazareno, Father Robert Arellano.
09:28Good morning, Father Arellano.
09:30Good morning to all of you, to all of our listeners,
09:35and to all the devotees of our beloved Jesus Nazareno.
09:40Father, how was your last-minute preparation?
09:42Are you going to do anything else before this very feast?
09:46We can say that we are ready because, as I have always mentioned in the past,
09:54we started preparing last August.
09:58That is why, during these times, we are doing our best in every discussion and preparation.
10:05That is why we can say that, since we have been doing these activities for years,
10:11I am prepared for each and every committee and campaign
10:16for the celebration of the feast of Jesus Nazareno.
10:20Father Arellano, did you make any changes in the design of the altar?
10:24We did not make any total changes.
10:27For example, the altar that we see still has the same appearance.
10:32We made some improvements.
10:35For example, on top of it, we made a sunroof made of tempered glass.
10:42For them, the natural light enters the altar of our beloved Jesus Nazareno.
10:49And our brethren who are in the establishment,
10:53when they pass by our beloved Jesus Nazareno, they can also see it.
10:58We also strengthened the stainless metal that we can see on the altar.
11:07We also have a CCTV so that we can have simultaneous monitoring.
11:14Our command center is at the exact location of our procession.
11:20We also strengthened the wheels.
11:24But what we can see on the altar is still the same as last year.
11:29If you will notice, it is stronger and more beautiful.
11:34And it is more visible, Father.
11:37Yes, it is more visible because we also removed the curtains
11:43so that people can see our beloved Jesus Nazareno more clearly
11:48and to have light inside the altar.
11:52Do you think that the procession will be faster this year?
11:57This is really our prayer.
11:59Because when we say that the return will be fast, it means that it will be well.
12:06This is our dream.
12:09And as you can see, every translation is different every year
12:14because it depends on the nature of the person
12:16and it depends on the help of the devotees to see our beloved Jesus Nazareno in the Catholic Church.
12:24But what we are doing to prepare is to make the procession more organized,
12:29faster, safe, and blessed.
12:33This is our dream.
12:35And we hope that the devotees and those who attend the procession
12:39will also be able to help so that the history that was made last year will be more visible.
12:46Because last year, it took almost 14 hours to bring the procession.
12:55The procession that will start tomorrow, what time will it open to the public, Father?
13:02As early as in the morning.
13:04We are already prepared for the procession.
13:08When we see that there are a lot of people, maybe even earlier in the morning,
13:14the procession will start.
13:17Because we are saying that we want to be saved,
13:20so it depends on the nature of the person, perhaps it will be faster.
13:24We already said that we are already prepared for these activities
13:28and of course, we are making adjustments depending on the nature of the person.
13:34Thank you very much, Father Robert Arellano,
13:37Nazareno 2025 at Capuchin Spokesperson.
13:40Take care.
13:42Yes. Thank you very much.
13:44And we just have one important reminder to our viewers,
13:49especially those attending the procession.
13:52Worship is still prohibited.
13:55Because worship is first and foremost, not salvation.
13:59And in worshiping people, we are not given the opportunity.
14:03Other people are watching and waiting for the opportunity to see our beloved Jesus Nazareno.
14:10Thank you very much, Father. Take care.
14:13God bless you. And good morning.
14:16The Kirino Grandstand is also being prepared,
14:19where the procession of Jesus Nazareno will be held starting tomorrow.
14:23Live from Manila, we have first news from Bam Alegre.
14:26Bam.
14:29Igan, good morning.
14:31Tomorrow, the procession of Jesus Nazareno will be held here at the Kirino Grandstand.
14:35That's why, this morning, the stage is already prepared where it will be held.
14:41Full force, the local government of Manila,
14:44in cleaning the surroundings of the Kirino Grandstand this morning.
14:48Making sure that there will be no impurities in every corner.
14:51The MMDA is also a force multiplier that also helped in setting up the stage.
14:56It is a tradition to hold the image of the whole Jesus Nazareno.
15:02A mass will be held first for the volunteers before the kiss.
15:08Igan, the PNP also watched the security of the religious gathering.
15:12The NCRPO said that more than 14,000 uniformed personnel will be assigned to the Nazareno.
15:20This is the first news from the Kirino Grandstand.
15:22Bam Alegre for GMA Integrated News.
15:26While still preparing for the Jesus Nazareno,
15:29we will be joined by the officer-in-charge of the Regional Public Information Office of the NCRPO,
15:35Major Mirna Diploma.
15:38Good morning.
15:41Good morning, Igan.
15:42Good morning to all of you.
15:45How many policemen are deployed in the field of the whole Jesus Nazareno, Major?
15:54More than 2,000 policemen will be deployed from other government agencies.
16:03That will be more than 14,000 personnel.
16:06We will add more policemen depending on the situation.
16:11Are we monitoring any threats to the public?
16:17As of now, we are not monitoring any security threats here in Metro Manila.
16:23However, your police will remain alert and ready to respond to any time and situation, Igan.
16:30We have an estimate. How many people will participate in the day of the translation?
16:36Last year, 6.5 million people were transported in the procession.
16:44We expect that more people will arrive on January 9,
16:49who will join the 5.8-kilometer procession from Kirino Grandstand to Quiapo Church, Igan.
16:56And to those who will go, what should they not do?
17:00Yes. To those who will go in the procession, don't push so that you won't get hurt during the procession.
17:12You are not allowed to jump in the crowd.
17:14To our countrymen who are sick, with feelings or disabled, senior citizens, pregnant women, and small children,
17:24you should not join the procession.
17:27We are also reminding everyone not to forget to be careful so that no one will be harmed
17:33and we can avoid any casualties or injuries in the translation of Nazareno 2025.
17:40Do not bring important things or wear protective equipment that can be used by thieves or bad people, Igan.
17:48Will the cell phone signals be turned off on the same day?
17:55Regarding that Igan, correction on my statement earlier on the other channel about the signal jammer.
18:02What was discussed is that the church will request to the DICT.
18:06But we will check with the church the status of the request Igan.
18:11Okay. So there's no penalty.
18:13Be careful. Police Major Mirna Diploma of NCRP, Original Public Information Office. Thank you.
18:20Thank you Igan. Thank you very much.
18:24Here in Baudi, Mansingloc, in the West Philippine Sea is the so-called China Coast Guard's monster ship.
18:30The Philippine Coast Guard named it because it is the home of the Philippine fishermen.
18:34First news, Chino Gaston.
18:39Using the Dark Vessel Detection of Canada, the Philippine Coast Guard detected the ship 5901
18:46or the so-called China Coast Guard's monster ship 54 nautical miles away from Capones Island in Zambales.
18:53Terrain. Terrain.
18:55That's why BRP Cabra was immediately sent with the Caravan Reconnaissance Aircraft to see what the monster ship is doing.
19:02At 5 p.m. this Saturday, the presence of the ship was confirmed in Baudi, Mansingloc.
19:07China Coast Guard, CD 5901. This is BRP Cabra, MRRV 4409.
19:15We are reminding you that you are inside in the Philippine Exclusive Economic Zone.
19:23Please leave this area immediately.
19:26According to the PCG, until now, the monster ship remains in the Philippine Exclusive Economic Zone.
19:31BRP Cabra did not leave the area.
19:35The Chinese Coast Guard's monster ship remains to be within the vicinity of Baudi, Mansingloc.
19:42But it moved further north.
19:44According to the PCG, the Chinese Coast Guard was sent by the Philippine fishermen.
19:48They want to legitimize their presence in the vicinity of Baudi, Mansingloc.
19:54I think this also threatens our Philippine fishermen so that they cannot fish in the area of Baudi, Mansingloc.
20:01June 2024, the monster ship near BRP Sierra Madre in Ayungin, Chol, was sighted.
20:07Compared to 2,265 tons of BRP Teresa Magbanua and Melchor Aquino,
20:13these are the largest ships of the Chinese Coast Guard,
20:16five times larger than the monster ship of China with a weight of 12,000 tons.
20:21This is the largest coast guard ship in the world.
20:24We are still trying to get the Chinese Embassy to declare its ownership.
20:28The Philippine Navy will continue to investigate where the underwater drone was found in San Pascual, Masbate.
20:34It is not yet known who owns it and what its capabilities are.
20:39But for the PCG, there used to be underwater drones used by China inside the EEZ of the Philippines.
20:46This has been going on for the past few years.
20:48We need a thorough evaluation of the data obtained.
20:55Obviously, this violates our sovereign rights.
21:00Military historian and defense analyst Jose Antonio Custodio
21:04is possibly looking for a route for their naval assets or submarines to leave the Pacific Ocean.
21:11If you look closely, you will see that the Chinese are sending probes to map the area so that their submarines can enter.
21:21You don't have to be a rocket scientist to understand that.
21:24The Philippine Navy has yet to respond to Custodio's statement.
21:27But a source of GMA Integrated News said that the drone should not be left to its own devices based on the initial investigation.
21:35This is the first news. Chino Gaston for GMA Integrated News.
21:40Let's do a price check on the items purchased in the market before you add to cart this first month of the new year.
21:46One of the surprising items is tomatoes that reached Php400 per kilo.
21:51Live from Marikina City, the first news is EJ Gomez.
21:57EJ!
22:01Egan, we are here in Marikina City to check the current price of some of the main items purchased after the holiday season.
22:12And here, the price of some vegetables is still high.
22:17Pork is still expensive while chicken is a bit lower than now.
22:27For those who plan to saute and need some vegetables like tomatoes, the budget must be checked.
22:33The price increased to Php360 per kilo for some items purchased in Metro Manila based on the monitoring of the Agriculture Department.
22:42That's higher than the price before the new year and the price of one kilo of pork is almost the same.
22:48Here in Marikina Public Market, tomatoes are sold for Php400 per kilo.
22:55Each kilo of chilies is sold for Php1,200.
23:00Green chilies are sold for Php600 while bell peppers are Php1,000 per kilo.
23:06Each kilo of carrots is now Php160 from the previous Php80.
23:12The prices of vegetables are getting higher and higher.
23:16There's a lot of time and there's a lack of time.
23:19Meanwhile, sayote is now Php80 lower than the previous Php120.
23:25The price of pork has increased from Php20 to Php70.
23:31Each kilo of pork is now Php360 to Php380.
23:36Ribs are now Php320 while pork chop is now Php320.
23:42For those who travel and use gasoline, the price of meat will increase automatically.
23:48They say that their income is affected because the buyers choose the cheaper frozen than the fresh meat.
23:55Ani said that the price of pork is now decreasing for their grilling business.
24:01It's still not decreasing. It's still high.
24:04It's really affected.
24:06The business?
24:07It's too much. They earn little.
24:10Meanwhile, there's a decrease of Php10 to Php20 in the price of each kilo of chicken.
24:16Whole breast chicken is now Php190 to Php220.
24:21Choice cuts are now Php220 to Php230.
24:27Because the holiday season is over, the supply is okay.
24:35For now, it's still low.
24:47Egan, we are trying to get the statement of the Agriculture Department about the increase in the price of some goods here in the market.
24:56According to the vendors we talked to, they can't say when their prices will start to go down.
25:04From Marikina City, EJ Gomez for GMA Integrated News.
25:16Shove it, Chika!
25:26This Monday morning, we are joined by a few singers from the musical Liyuanag sa Diliin.
25:31They are Queendom star Rita Daniela, pop rocker Anthony Rosaldo, and Khalil Ramos for his sophomore theater play.
25:41They are among the 23 artists who were revealed by 9Works Theatrical.
25:45Liyuanag sa Diliin is an all-new original musical starring OPM icon Rico Blanco.
25:52It will open on March 7.
25:55That's beautiful.
25:56And pure talent, of course, our GMA artists are there.
26:00Correct.
26:01I've seen Rita perform in a musical before.
26:03She was so beautiful. So clean.
26:05I saw Anthony in a play.
26:07You saw him in a play.
26:08And his solo concert as well.
26:09So you know that they will offer a vocal prowess.
26:13And of course, Khalil. He has other offers as well.
26:16Sophomore year, am I right?
26:18Yes, that's right.
26:19Congratulations.
26:20Congrats to GMA as well.
26:26Kapuso Actress and Forever Young star Nadine Samonte will throw back a lot in the makeup transformation video.
26:33Power of the sun and the moon.
26:37I wanna be a Super Twin.
26:41Super Twins.
26:42Super T will throw back the 2007 fantasy series of GMA, Super Twins.
26:47Heather, who played Tin-Tin, helped her.
