00:00President Bongbong Marcos and former Vice President Lenny Robredo met in Sorsogon.
00:08In his message, the President emphasized the importance of unity in this time.
00:14Jonathan Andal has a report.
00:19Bongbong Marcos, Lenny Robredo, Cheese Escudero,
00:23fought for the Vice President during the 2016 election, where Robredo lost.
00:29And in the Presidential Elections in 2022, Marcos and Robredo fought again, where Marcos won.
00:38Earlier, at the inauguration of Sorsogon Sports Center, the three met again.
00:43President Marcos and former Vice President Lenny Robredo shook hands and smiled.
00:48Robredo invited President Cheese Escudero to the inauguration of Sorsogon Sports Center.
00:55For Escudero, the reunion of Robredo and Marcos was symbolic.
01:01The three of us have a history.
01:03It's symbolic because in the sports arena, we are an odd trio, right?
01:09In the career of politics, let's remember being a sportsman,
01:14and accepting freely who will win the medal or in this case, the election.
01:22Former Senator Bam Aquino also met with the President,
01:25who became Robredo's campaign manager during the 2022 election.
01:28And the nephew of former Senator Ninoy Aquino, who became a supporter of the politics of the President's father.
01:34I think this is the first step towards healing any wound.
01:41Remember, any debate or difference of opinion is political, not personal.
01:48According to Escudero, Marcos and Robredo should be together in Entablado to watch a dance performance.
01:54But Robredo had to leave for his appointment in Naga, which is three hours away from Sorsogon.
02:01In fact, he just waited for President Marcos to arrive before he went back to Naga.
02:06He doesn't have an airplane or chopper, so he just took a car.
02:09In President Marcos' speech, he emphasized the importance of unity.
02:14Unity is my desire for a more peaceful and effective government.
02:20We may have differences in beliefs and opinions,
02:25but I know that we are united in our desire for a higher standard of living for every Filipino.
02:36Robredo refused our interview about their meeting with the President.
02:40But according to Robredo's spokesperson,
02:42I just want to say that she was there for the event.
02:45And when the President arrives, of course, he will welcome her.
02:50VP Lenny has been very, very clear.
02:52Any healing or reconciliation should be based on justice and principles.
03:00Jonathan Andal reporting for GMA Integrated News.
03:06A woman who was killed in a stabbing in Mauban, Quezon is being sued.
03:11According to the police, Michelle Pajarillo is a victim of a lending business.
03:15She hired a live-in partner whose house is a collateral.
03:19But when she went to the house of the live-in partner to be sued,
03:23she was raped and stabbed in the chest.
03:26The suspect ran away, but he also surrendered to the police.
03:30They were charged with murder.
03:34The Office of the Vice President spent Php 16 million in confidential funds
03:41to rent 34 safe houses in just 11 days in 2022.
03:47According to the OVP Accomplishment Report,
03:50there are 2 safe houses that were paid Php 1 million.
03:54Some safe houses were also paid Php 250,000 and Php 500,000 each.
04:01The funding is part of the Php 125 million confidential fund
04:06spent by the OVP within 11 days.
04:09OVP will only submit acknowledgment receipts to the Commission on Audit
04:14and some have no name of those who received the payment.
04:18Some names are not readable and some are not signed.
04:22The COA said they have no other details about the safe houses.
04:26According to the OVP Accomplishment Report,
04:29the safe houses were paid for the implementation of OVP Initiatives and Confidence Building.
04:35In 2023, the OVP spent Php 37 million in safe houses.
04:42The OVP's 6 officials were already sued for not attending the hearing.
04:48In a statement, the OVP argued that there is no need for a hearing
04:52because it was not paid in aid of legislation.
04:55Because of that, the OVP officials did not need to attend the hearing.
05:00They also submitted their complaint to the Committee.
05:09Application for the Jeepney Consolidation Program.
05:12Reopened due to the Senate's consultation.
05:15Until November 29, the application allows the unconsolidated jeepney driver and operator to submit.
05:22Asked for house arrest by Pastor Apolo Quibuloy, he was not given by the Passing Regional Trial Court.
05:29According to Quibuloy's lawyer, the court said that if there is a health emergency,
05:33there is a general hospital inside Camp Krame where Quibuloy can be admitted.
05:38The decision was appealed by Quibuloy's camp.
05:43PNP-CIDG filed a complaint of sedition and inciting to sedition
05:48against Quibuloy's lawyer, Atty. Israelito Torreon,
05:52Kingdom of Jesus Christ Executive Secretary Eleanor Cardona,
05:57former NDFL-CAC spokesperson Lorraine Badoy and others.
06:01This is the result of their obstruction of serving Quibuloy's warrant.
06:05This is called a side-tracking issue by Torreon and it is not up to him.
06:10GMA Integrated News is trying to get hold of other complaints.
06:17Who are the reporters for GMA Integrated News?
06:20Senator Visa Ontiveros urged the Committee of the Whole or all senators
06:25to investigate the war on drugs of the Duterte administration.
06:29This is in accordance with Senator Bato de la Rosa's plan to conduct its own investigation on this matter.
06:34According to Ontiveros, war on drugs victims will be more alert and more likely to investigate if this is what will be done.
06:42For Senator Aimee Marcos, it would be better if the matter will be directed to the court.
06:47Senate President Cheese Escudero thinks that it is not a good idea
06:51to be the first to investigate de la Rosa, the former PNP chief, who was the first to conduct the war on drugs.
06:58Escudero will also discuss this with de la Rosa and Senator Bongo on the weekend.
07:05It is possible that the eyeglasses will be included in the PhilHealth coverage before the year ends.
07:11Reporting by Yvonne Aquino.
07:17The 31-year-old call center agent, Colleen Garcia, is nearsighted and has astigmatism.
07:22She spent P4,000 for prescription glasses.
07:26A large part of her budget, which is expected, she is spending on her five children.
07:31Jason Umali's co-worker also feels dizzy.
07:36There is also no budget, so the glasses she is using are not prescribed by the doctor.
07:40Prescription glasses, as needed by Colleen and Jason, are being studied and included in the PhilHealth packages.
07:47We are studying right now on the inclusion of prescription glasses
07:54in response to requests and clamor of our members and lawmakers.
08:00Hopefully, before the year ends, the police will release this.
08:06If I am a single mom, of course, I will save money before I can buy glasses.
08:11So if they have such a program, it is better.
08:14It can also help, especially if it is free.
08:17Based on the study of the World Health Organization, 50% of the world's population will be nearsighted by the end of 2050.
08:25Based on the 2018 Philippine Eye Disease Study, 1.98% of our population has visual impairment and more than 2 million are partially blind.
08:34The Integrated Philippine Association of Optometrists will help PhilHealth in making guidelines in the package.
08:41We can save more, especially PhilHealth, if diseases can be prevented by providing services that would prevent blindness.
08:53In Phase 1 of the package, the children will be the first, especially the students.
08:57The EOR for children, whether they are nearsighted or farsighted, it affects their academic performance.
09:04Before the end of the year, the target is to include dental services in the PhilHealth packages.
09:09Primary care when it comes to our dental hygiene, florification, cleaning,
09:16that is what we are looking to include in the dental package for outpatients.
09:21Von Aquino reporting for GMA Integrated News.
09:27How many nights have you wished the world would stay?
09:31One-direction member Liam Payne, aged 31, died in a car crash.
09:38Based on the investigation, Liam fell from the balcony of his third-floor hotel room in Buenos Aires, Argentina.
09:46Before that, the hotel reported that the man was aggressive and could be under the influence of drugs or alcohol.
09:54It is also known that the accident happened a few days before the week.
09:59Liam watched the concert of his groupmate Niall Horan in Argentina with his girlfriend.
10:05Good luck Mr. Horan, I'm very proud of you.
10:07A few hours before the news of his passing came out, Liam uploaded this video on Snapchat.
10:14It was taken in Argentina, but the British singer did not mention when it was taken.
10:20Morning everybody.
10:21Liam has always been open to struggles in mental health and alcohol to cope with the pressures of fame.
10:28Fame can mean a few things and I often think that people hold a certain light to it.
10:33He's the world celebrity.
10:36After 18 months, J-Hope was released from the military by BTS.
10:41He was joined by Jin and other ARMY.
10:45J-Hope thanked his supporters and waited for his return.
10:52Aubrey Carampeo reported for GMA Integrated News.
11:02The surprise for his mother was literally a blast.
11:06His birthday cake rained money.
11:09That's what Ian Cruz reported.
11:12It's real! It's real!
11:18This is not a jackpot in the game show.
11:20But the mother who has a birthday cake feels like it's a jackpot because money is raining.
11:31That's what his siblings literally threw for their mom's 51st birthday.
11:38The surprise is a bet.
11:40Aside from the money cake where money is being thrown,
11:44they can also see money shower cakes.
11:48That's why this was thought to be a birthday bash.
11:52But it's not just his mother who was surprised because they also made it.
12:01And the guests were shocked by the galanting cake.
12:06It was their first time to make a birthday cake.
12:11That's why the celebration was very happy.
12:14More money!
12:16Are you happy, mommy?
12:17Don't worry, I will put more money.
