00:00The 17 Filipinos were released after being hostaged by the Huri group for more than a year.
00:21From Yemen, they were turned over to the government of Oman along with the other crew of the MV Galaxy Leader.
00:27According to Huri Media, they released the hostages as part of a ceasefire between Israel and Hamas.
00:35President Bombom Marcos was pleased with the release of the Filipinos who were under the care of our embassy in Muscat, Oman.
00:43They were allowed to return to the Philippines.
00:46The President also thanked the Omani government.
00:49On November 2023, the MV Galaxy Leader was hostaged by the Huri group for more than a month after a war broke out between Israel and Hamas.
00:59Foreign Affairs Undersecretary Eduardo de Vega said in an interview with Unang Balita,
01:04the ship was targeted because it was owned by an Israeli company.
01:09The controversy in the 2025 national budget will be brought to the Supreme Court.
01:15A congressman and a group of people requested to cancel the budget due to the illegal addition to the BICAM report after the ratification of the Congress.
01:26Meanwhile, Senate President Chester Escudero did nothing wrong in the process.
01:31We have first news from Joseph Morong.
01:35A group of people requested to cancel the 2025 national budget due to the illegal addition to the BICAM report after the ratification of the Congress.
01:52A group of people requested to cancel the 2025 national budget due to the illegal addition to the BICAM report after the ratification of the Congress.
02:08For me, this is uncharted waters because you can only have a reenacted budget if there's no approved budget.
02:17If there's an approved budget, it will be declared invalid.
02:21The Congress will be able to pass the budget again. It's possible because an error in legislation can be corrected only with another legislation.
02:35President Blanco refused. He signed the General Appropriations Act.
02:39This is the law that will pass the budget of the government for this year.
02:43But Ungab said, it's right that there's no blank on the enrolled bill.
02:47This is the copy that was removed from the BICAM report that was ratified by the Congress and signed by the President.
02:53The problem is, what the Congress ratified is the BICAM report that has blanks that became complete in the enrolled bill.
03:00This is wrong and illegal because whatever was added to the enrolled bill, it didn't follow the ratification.
03:07Who's the magician? Someone did magic.
03:09The seeing it after, it's not there. It wasn't ratified.
03:13Ungab showed in the GMA Integrated News the e-mail of the House Secretary and the copy of the BICAM report to more than 300 congressmen last Saturday night of December 11.
03:25Around 7 p.m. last night, the camera ratified the BICAM report of the 2025 budget.
03:31The same document. Why was it ratified? It was ratified because no one saw it.
03:38Senator Amy Marcos was the first to say that there are blanks in the BICAM report that's why she didn't sign it.
03:45She was surprised.
03:47I was shocked. I was really shocked because I was afraid of the blanks and the lack of data.
03:56There are two different documents that they're targeting.
03:59One is the BICAM report that is really blank and has a lack of data.
04:04The other one is the GAA. It's already full of numbers. It's complete.
04:10It's not blank. The GAA itself was signed.
04:15I was shocked by the BICAM report. Why was it ratified that there are blanks?
04:22Do you know the enrollment? Did you see the BICAM report?
04:25Of course.
04:26It's not there anymore.
04:27It's not there anymore because the one that was signed is already full.
04:30The Congress ratified the budget on December 11.
04:35On December 20, it was submitted to President Bongbong Marcos.
04:39On December 30, the President signed the national budget.
04:43According to the GMA Integrated News Research,
04:46the value of the blanks in the BICAM report is not less than Php138.36 billion.
04:55Php110 billion is for the programs of the Department of Agriculture and the rest are subsidies for government corporations.
05:03There's nothing wrong with the process of the budget of Senate President Francis Chiza Escudero.
05:08The first copy that I signed, the Committee on Appropriation and Finance was authorized to correct and fill it.
05:16It was also stated in the last paragraph of the BICAM report.
05:20If there's a difference in the GAA in the BICAM report, the next will be the GAA, the enrolled bill of the GAA.
05:31According to our Supreme Court, in many decisions, the next will be the enrolled bill.
05:39The signed version of the law will govern.
05:43Now, if there's a lack there, it's right to question it.
05:47Or if there's a release because the blanks were filled, it's right not to release it.
05:54That's what the congressman knows when he's complaining about his points in this matter.
06:01Escudero thinks...
06:02The election is near, the color of politics is too bright for now,
06:07and maybe in the next few days, let's not be surprised by additional stories, attacks, or violations like this.
06:16We're listening to the statement of House Speaker Martin Romualdez.
06:20This is the first news, Joseph Morong for the GMA Integrated News.
06:25The substitute bill was passed by Senator Arisa Conteveros on the issue of prevention of adolescent pregnancy.
06:33This is in accordance with the law of the Filipino senator that was first signed and supported in the committee report.
06:39They need additional dialogue with the stakeholders.
06:43The first news is from Mackie Polido.
06:47This senator suddenly returned their signature in the committee report in Senate Bill 1979,
06:54or an act providing for a national policy in preventing adolescent pregnancies.
06:59This is in accordance with the statements of President Bongbong Marcos against Panukala,
07:03that he will veto if it passes in the current version.
07:07You will teach four-year-olds how to masturbate.
07:11It is a travesty of what sexual and sex education should be to the children.
07:16Among those who returned their signatures were Senators J.V. Ejercito, Nancy Binay, Cynthia Villar, and Bong Go,
07:23who wrote to Senate President Cheese Escudero.
07:26They believe that the issue of adolescent pregnancy is important,
07:30but they need additional dialogue with the stakeholders.
07:33But they need additional dialogue with the stakeholders.
07:36Senators Bong Revilla, Jingoy Estrada, and Loren Legarda followed them.
07:42Before they left, there were 18 senators who signed the committee report.
07:46They haven't gone to the President yet.
07:48He already has a pronouncement that he will veto.
07:51So why would we produce a committee report when we already know that the President will veto it?
07:57I am not in favor of Panukala,
08:00because it will damage the family's reputation and the reputation of our countrymen.
08:07Yesterday, Senator Risa Ontiveros, author of Senate Bill 1979,
08:11ate a manifesto in the plenary.
08:13She said that the discussion was disturbed because of the spread of misinformation.
08:17They said that the zero to four-year-old masturbation is in the bill.
08:23Anal sex, oral sex, and all kinds of concepts that are not suitable for children.
08:30The people are afraid.
08:33But I will repeat, none of these are in the bill.
08:38And this will never be included in any Panukala that I will propose.
08:46In the middle of this, she will ask for an amendment by substitution
08:49to answer the concerns of some senators.
08:52We have already removed the phrase, guided by international standards,
08:58because of the concerns of some.
09:02We have already limited CSE to adolescents or 10 years old and above.
09:10According to Senate President Cheese Escudero,
09:13because Ontiveros will amend the bill,
09:16he will study if he will return it to the committee or if it will be debated in the plenary of the Senate.
09:21This is the first news, Mackie Pulido for JMA Integrated News.
09:26Starting from the school year 2025-2026,
09:29the Department of Education will implement the revised curriculum for senior high school.
09:35According to Education Secretary Sani Angara,
09:37the implementation of the revised curriculum will be gradual so that it can be adjusted for schools.
09:42As for the revised curriculum for the reduction of core subjects,
09:46it will be five to seven from the current fifteen.
09:51According to Angara, communication, Philippine history, math, and science will be left out of the core subjects.
09:57Electives will also be added so that students will be able to choose subjects
10:02that are more in line with their interests or career plans.
10:06These changes will be supplemented by the study of the DepEd Task Force starting in 2023
10:11so that senior high school graduates will be more prepared for work.
10:17We really want our senior high school graduates to be very well-rounded individuals
10:23who are employable among other things, but who also fulfill their full potential as human beings.
10:31Love month is waving, Kapuso.
10:34That's why it's important to be careful with love scams
10:37or modes that scammers will use to get money.
10:43Here's the first news, Oscar Oida.
10:48Handsome, tall, rich, and above all, very sweet.
10:53That's just a few of the reasons why he quickly fell in love.
10:57The former OFW, Juliet, doesn't have a real name.
11:01She became Romeo Online when a Norwegian serviceman introduced her to a dating app.
11:21But as time went by, Juliet noticed that her online Romeo was becoming too popular.
11:32It seems that she's also allergic to calls or video calls.
11:46She became even more suspicious when it came to the point where she was asking for money
11:51and when she said that she didn't have money to give.
11:56At this point, Juliet realized that this is not a true love, but a love scam.
12:13Our Filipinos are often loved and worked hard,
12:16but they are often taken advantage of by those behind the scenes.
12:22Or the modes of dating online.
12:24You'll be loved, and eventually, you'll be robbed of money.
12:29Above all, we're always very emotional.
12:32And because of this attitude, you can be programmed to AI.
12:37How can I get a Filipino?
12:40We're already profiled, and they know that we're highly vulnerable.
12:44And they know that we're highly vulnerable.
12:47And they know that we're highly vulnerable.
12:50And they know that Filipinos are hardworking, that's why we have a lot of savings.
12:55That's why we're targeted.
12:57According to the Cybercrime Investigation and Coordinating Center, or CICC,
13:02every February, up to 15 Filipinos are victimized by love scams.
13:08That's why it's important that early on,
13:10red flags or signals that you're talking to a love scammer are detected.
13:17Red flag number one, the picture.
13:20Too perfect to be true.
13:22The type, the profile pic, is too aesthetic.
13:26And there are no tagged photos or friends that are real people.
13:31Red flag if it seems like he's allergic to video calls.
13:35He can't talk on the phone, and there's always a reason why he can't meet.
13:40And the most red flag of all, if he's asking for money.
13:46Even if there's an emergency or he's not willing to invest.
13:50That's why our profiles are very important.
13:55This is like a spot.
13:57Because the problem is that most of the love scams are LDR, foreigners.
14:03So there's no chance to meet.
14:06So guys, remember, love is real.
14:09But so are the scammers.
14:12So be extra careful.
14:14Protect not only your hearts, but also your pockets.
14:20This is the first news.
14:22Oscar Oida for GMA Integrated News.
14:25Show Miss Chika, setting the record straight.
14:27Kapuso global fashion icon, Heart Evangelista,
14:30about what's new about her face.
14:34It's just lips.
14:35I just did my lips.
14:37That's true.
14:39Heart clarified that she just changed her lips.
14:42Heart even posed next to a magazine cover of hers
14:45from year 2000 to prove it.
14:48There.
14:49She's in France now.
