00:22 He's the ambassador of China, so he will always take the Chinese position.
00:27 It doesn't serve any purpose for us to lose our temper or to overreact.
00:32 I think Ambassador Huang is just doing his job.
00:36 He's just doing his job. He's continuing to state the Chinese narrative.
00:40 Of course, we don't agree with that narrative.

01:19 Before we start our program, let me just acknowledge our guest.
01:23 As a celebration, the Supreme Court visited the grave of Associate Justice Maydas Marquez.
01:29 Aside from the donations, basketball players and judges played the persons deprived of liberty by the medium security compound.
01:39 Chief Justice Alexander Guzmundo said that it's better to visit the prisons of judges like him.
01:46 To understand the status of the accused, to understand if they need to be released or not,
01:53 the Supreme Court has been doing this for a long time. But we will strengthen that so we can ensure that the process of releasing the prisoners is fast if they need to be released.
02:06 At the National Jail Decongestion Summit, the possibility of lowering the reduced bail was discussed,
02:13 which was reduced to P10,000 for the poor accused.
02:18 But even if it is lowered, the accused still cannot afford it.
02:23 I learned that when I was a court administrator. Sometimes, even if the bail is P3,000, they cannot afford it.
02:33 Because if they don't have money and you're an accused, who will lend you? Even if it's just P3,000.
02:40 The court is closely coordinating with the Department of Justice to revise the guidelines on bail.
02:45 We can lower it further by exploring and revising the guidelines on bail ban so it will be lighter and more affordable.
02:55 The Supreme Court is also cooperating with the legislature in the creation and strengthening of the laws.
03:01 If the law is changed, there will be many cases where the plaintiff will not need to pay.
03:08 They will strengthen the law on recognizance that the accused does not need to pay.
03:16 There will be one or two people who will guarantee that he will be charged in each hearing of his case.
03:23 The Supreme Court will also strengthen the two mechanisms for the swift justice in the country
03:30 through electronic filing system and the creation of laws that will go around the places where the caseload will be heavy.
03:39 This is the first news in Nymara, Frank for GMA Integrated News.
03:44 First news this Tuesday morning.
03:51 The 2023 Miss Universe Philippines Michelle D. was in the intense action scenes in Black Rider.
03:58 On the Instagram of GMA Network, Michelle's arrival was spotted for her shoot for the Kapuso Action Drama Series.
04:05 On her IG broadcast channel, Michelle shared the throwback picture of her appearance as Freya in the drama fantasy series, Mga Lihim ni Orduha.
04:14 MMD said a new assassin is about to emerge in Black Rider.
04:19 Nice, can't wait.
04:21 Man, I'm such an adrenaline junkie. I was like, I want to be on that show.
04:24 But of course, we fought for it. We fought for the Philippines.
04:28 I'm so excited for my role.
04:31 She's waiting for it.
04:32 Igan, not only on the streets, the holiday rush is felt, but also in the airport.
04:37 The arrival of the people of the Philippines who will celebrate Christmas here in the Philippines is ongoing.
04:42 Live from Naia, we have the first news, Niko Wahe.
04:45 Niko.
04:51 Igan, good morning. It's only been six days since Christmas,
04:54 that's why our countrymen are coming home to celebrate Christmas.
05:01 There are even people who came from other races to experience the Filipino Christmas.
05:05 A tight hug, sweet kisses.
05:12 That's what Leia's mother gave to him when they met again after 11 months.
05:18 Leia went to Canada to study and return to the country to celebrate Christmas here.
05:24 I'm excited for Christmas here in our country because it's a different Christmas here compared to other countries.
05:29 Their preparations are very different from ours.
05:33 Leia will return to Canada on January 7 to continue her studies.
05:38 Nerissa, who is an OFW, brought her employers from Kenya to experience the holiday in the Philippines.
05:45 The employers said that they are the ones who presented Christmas here.
05:48 You're happy because they are from different races,
05:51 they know your feelings that you need your family, that you're with them for Christmas.
05:56 She will make sure that the first time her employers experienced Christmas will be memorable.
06:02 Does her family know that she is coming home?
06:05 No. That's why I said it's a secret.
06:08 That's why I'm not going to let my family in Laguna.
06:14 Cheryl has a different plan for Christmas.
06:17 She came home not to celebrate Christmas here.
06:20 Actually, I will fetch my children for vacation. I will bring them to Singapore.
06:25 Her children haven't been with her for four years.
06:29 So wherever they celebrate, as long as they are with each other, there will be no problem.
06:34 The Filipino Christmas is truly memorable.
06:37 What I miss is that my father is here, the children, the in-laws, but the children are also with me.
06:46 Even though it's a low-pressure area, there is no cancelled flight, domestic or international.
06:59 Live from Pasay City, I'm Nico Juaje for GMA Integrated News.
07:06 Some of our province's citizens are starting to go home for Christmas.
07:11 Are they still in their vehicles?
07:14 Let's find out in the first news live of James Agustin.
07:17 James?
07:18 Susan, good morning.
07:23 To avoid traffic jams, we have citizens who have decided to go home early in their province.
07:31 They will spend their vacation with their families this upcoming Christmas and New Year.
07:37 The bus terminals here in Cubao are ready to accommodate the passengers.
07:42 Some of them applied for special permits in LTFRB to add more bus units that are traveling.
07:48 It's only now that Jerry and Gemalyn, the couple from Nagasiti, Camarinasura, are going home.
07:57 They said they left work to make the vacation in the province worthwhile,
08:01 with their families this holiday season.
08:03 It's really hard.
08:05 That's why we decided to go home early so that we won't be affected by traffic.
08:15 We will make the New Year with our family and our whole family.
08:21 So that next year, we will have memories to look back on.
08:28 Ms. Milagros and her grandchildren traveled from Daet, Camarinas Norte.
08:34 They have been here in Metro Manila until the new year.
08:37 It's really hard because when you're in a standing position,
08:43 you're standing from Daet to here.
08:47 It's really hard. A lot of people are traveling to Manila.
08:53 According to the terminal's management, they expect more passengers the next days.
08:58 That's why they added more bus units that are traveling.
09:02 We got special permits for our other routes.
09:06 You expect more passengers?
09:08 Yes, we expect more because we prepare for every peak season.
09:13 Security personnel of the bus terminal are on duty as security guards.
09:18 In this bus terminal, passengers are only inspected at the entrance.
09:23 Some are going home early from their province.
09:26 Jane Rose is a student who traveled to San Jose Nueva Ecija.
09:31 I came early so that I can go home early and my vacation won't be wasted.
09:37 Because next year, I will be back here.
09:40 So I will make the most of it.
09:42 The bus terminal is ready for the arrival of passengers, especially those going home to Bulacan and Nueva Ecija.
09:48 They also applied for special permits in LTFRB to add more passengers to San Jose Nueva Ecija.
09:54 Passengers may arrive on Friday because we know that Monday is Christmas.
10:01 Our buses and units are on regular general check-up almost weekly.
10:06 We do a general check-up to prepare for the upcoming peak season, Christmas and New Year.
10:13 While we are here at the bus terminal in Cubao, the other routes to Nueva Ecija and Bulacan,
10:22 there are a lot of bus units so they only applied for special permits for a few routes.
10:27 Even though the queue of passengers is so long,
10:31 we expect that the bus terminal will be ready by Friday night.
10:38 They will add more bus units and extend the time of their operation
10:45 so that passengers can ride in the terminal.
10:49 That is the latest from Cubao, Quezon City.

16:27 Thank you very much, Alan Domingo of JEMA Regional TV, Balitang Bisdak.
16:33 Many are buying from Divisoria to save for their exchange gift and OOTD for Christmas.
16:41 We will announce the price live from Manila.
16:44 We have the first news, Darlene Cai. Darlene?
16:47 Good morning, Susan.
16:52 Have you already done your Christmas shopping?
16:54 If not, you should buy from Divisoria because you can buy things here at a cheap price.
17:01 People are buying here to do Christmas shopping.
17:05 It's already Christmas, and there are already 6 people sleeping.
17:11 That's why people are buying here at the night market on Ilaya Street in Divisoria, Manila.
17:17 Many of them are buying here after listening to the mass in the nearby Santo Nino Church, like this friend.
17:25 We came here last night.
17:27 And?
17:28 They invited me to buy a gift for the exchange.
17:32 If it's just a gift, there are many things you can choose here in Divisoria, like the clothes that you can buy for only P15.
17:42 It's available for sale especially this Christmas.
17:44 There are many things. If you're going to worship at night, it's easier to buy clothes at day.
17:48 There are also new clothes for children, T-shirts, sandals, blouses, dresses, shoes, and sombreros.
17:55 There are more people buying here than last year.
17:58 There are many people buying here especially for the worship service at night.
18:01 There are also many toys for P25 only.
18:05 If the North Pole has Santa Claus, Divisoria has Brian Claus.
18:11 But he doesn't give away the toys.
18:14 You can buy from his stores for P150 or more depending on the class.
18:19 There are dolls, cooking utensils, cars, action figures, and more.
18:24 But their sales are not that good.
18:27 It's not like last year. There are many people buying here.
18:33 We have online stores. Customers are buying from there.
18:38 That's why they hope that more people will buy this Christmas.
18:43 They don't have any plans to increase the price.
18:45 They hope that the buyers will forgive.
18:53 Susan, the stores are open 24 hours a day here at Kale, Ilaya, Divisoria.
18:58 It's all day everyday.
19:00 So, anytime, the buyers can come here.
19:03 That's the first news in Manila.
19:05 I'm Darlene Kai for GMA Integrated Loops.

20:39 Meanwhile, Mega praised Alden Richards' professionalism in the movie "Family of Two" which is already showing this December 25.
20:49 She found her role in "Maricar" easier because of their relationship.
20:55 It was easy for me because I think the relationship that developed between me and Alden,
21:04 he's really like my son in real life.
21:06 He's good. He's good. Very good actor.
21:09 Here, he was so natural and effortless.
21:11 My job was easier because he's my partner.
