00:00This is Philippine Government.
00:05We are the government. We are just money.
00:08We are the government. We are just money.
00:1321 horas.
00:17Good evening, Luzon, Visayas and Mindanao.
00:21Each and every house has been destroyed,
00:23and the President of the Philippines, Marcos, has lost his life
00:27in his aerial inspection earlier in the province of Catanduanes.
00:32The residents of the province were the first to be hit by a typhoon.
00:36They are calling for help to recover the houses that were destroyed by the typhoon
00:41from the province of Catanduanes.
00:43Live and exclusive, Joseph Morong.
00:46Joseph.
00:51The President of the Philippines, Emil, has lost his life
00:54in his aerial inspection earlier in the province of Catanduanes.
00:58He is calling for help to recover the houses that were destroyed by the typhoon.
01:10The President of the Philippines, Marcos, along with the Governor of Catanduanes, Joseph Cua,
01:14carried out an aerial inspection in order to see the area
01:17and not to leave a trace of the super typhoon Pepito.
01:20The President of the Philippines, Emil, saw the destroyed houses in the air
01:24including the establishments, houses, and gardens.
01:28It shouldn't be surprising that it reached 230 kilometers, right?
01:32It reached 350.
01:34The glass?
01:35Yes, the glass.
01:36It reached 300.
01:37We have to rebuild, rehabilitate.
01:40In other places, we were able to provide construction materials,
01:44such as iron, and other materials,
01:48so that the houses can be stacked.
01:51Of course, we have stacks of damaged and fully damaged houses.
02:00The President of the Philippines, Emil, was able to visit several towns
02:02other than Panganiban, such as Karamoran, Pagamanok, Viga, and Higmoto.
02:07At the moment, President Marcos is inspecting the extent of the damage of the super typhoon Pepito.
02:15And so far, the President's impression is that the impact of the wind was really strong,
02:20especially the super typhoon Pepito.
02:22That's why most of the problems of the residents here in Catanduanes
02:28will start again, especially the construction of their houses.
02:34I'm inspecting the infrastructure.
02:36The infrastructure is not good.
02:39Usually, it's because of landslides, erosion, and strong winds.
02:45But if we look at the main roads, the main thoroughfares,
02:49there is also damage.
02:51But the cemented areas seem to have survived.
02:57There was no night in the province,
02:59even with the super typhoon Pepito,
03:01that landfalled here last Saturday night.
03:04According to the President, the pre-emptive evacuation helped.
03:07It's hard to convince people to leave their homes.
03:14But naturally, it's the kill.
03:17It's going to be our standard now.
03:19It has been our standard since the very beginning.
03:22I think all local government officials will have learned that.
03:29It's hard for the residents to leave their homes.
03:33They don't know how they will start again
03:35with the destruction of their houses
03:37if the wind didn't blow their roofs away.
03:42Landslides and landslides have been reported.
03:45Their houses were also not saved from the strong winds brought by the typhoon.
03:49We don't know where we will be able to build a house again.
03:54We are really having a hard time right now.
03:56Even if we are forced to leave our homes.
04:02I am calling for the help that they will give to our country.
04:08I hope that they will be able to recover our countrymen.
04:15With the help of Governor Cua and the mayors of the province,
04:19the government will provide water first
04:21because there is no water in the province yet.
04:23Water filtration devices will be sent.
04:26Construction materials and food will also be sent.
04:29The DSWD and the Office of Civil Defense.
04:32Only 13 out of 315 barangays have electricity
04:36so the government will borrow linemen from the provinces.
04:40Satellite communication equipment will also be sent to the villages without signal.
04:45Meanwhile, the President of the United States,
04:49President-elect Donald Trump,
04:51called President-elect Donald Trump to congratulate him
04:54on winning the U.S. elections
04:56and to strengthen the alliance between the Philippines and America.
05:01I expressed to him our continuing desire to strengthen that relationship
05:10between our two countries,
05:12which is a relationship that is as deep as can possibly be
05:17because it has been for a very long time.
05:20I also reminded the President-elect
05:23that the Filipinos in America overwhelmingly voted for Trump.
05:36It is currently raining here in the area of Virac and Anduana.
05:41It is still difficult to get signal here
05:46but the President-elect said that he is confident
05:48that telecommunications companies will be able to return the signal here, Emil.
05:53Thank you very much, Joseph Morong.
05:57Now that Christmas is coming,
05:59President-elect Bongbong Marcos called government agencies
06:03to avoid the Christmas party.
06:07This is to help those who have been affected by the next typhoon
06:12and no longer have a home or livelihood.
06:15Ivan Mayvina is in touch.
06:20In less than two weeks, December will come
06:23and Christmas parties will be held for many years.
06:27At work, at the office, at family and friends' reunions.
06:31Why not?
06:32The crowds are already gathering.
06:34You can still win the games or win a prize at the raffle.
06:38But he called government agencies
06:42to simplify the parties.
06:45This is in line with what the President-elect said yesterday.
06:48Anything that can be saved in a simple party,
06:50give it to those who are in need.
06:52This does not mean that it needs to be written in an official memo
06:55because Malacanang believes in the goodwill of government agencies
06:59and is willing to save in their efforts.
07:02Malacanang was not wrong in his belief,
07:04not only in government agencies but also in the private sector.
07:08Some of them were proven right,
07:10like Bagyong Christine.
07:11She even made a donation drive
07:14to give to those in need.
07:17To the students of this international school in Manila
07:20who came up with the idea of participating in a party,
07:22they made a fundraising to give to those in need.
07:25Kindness begets kindness.
07:27And the best thing we can do this Christmas
07:30is to help one person.
07:32If you feel like a person who has lost everything,
07:35you will realize that there is hope that you can stand up again.
07:39The private sector is not lacking in helping in times like this.
07:44The Philippine Chamber of Commerce and Industry
07:46does not yet have an official position.
07:48But according to their chairman,
07:49it is good that this is the government's priority.
07:52It would be good if the government officials set the example.
07:56We know very well that they have their own discretionary fund
08:01and they would say, okay, we will also give so much for this calamity.
08:05That would be nice and it would be good for the private sector to be inspired
08:10by what our government and legislators are doing.
08:14For GMA Integrated News, Ivan Mayrina for Tutok, 24 Hours.
08:20The Department of Education issued a memorandum
08:24regarding the simple Christmas celebration
08:28to all their offices and schools
08:30in order to give donations to the victims of the calamity.
08:36When a man in Caloocan City,
08:38whose cell phone was in the pocket of the authorities in Pampanga,
08:40and who was the suspect in the shooting,
08:44here is my exclusive report.
08:49Before the house was forced out by the civilian police,
08:53this man was the one who was caught in Mabalak and Pampanga last night.
08:58He's outside. He's outside.
09:02The man who was arrested was violent and shouted first.
09:07He was the suspect in the killing of a man in Dagat-Nagatan, Caloocan last night.
09:11According to the police, he was the man who was riding a motorcycle
09:15that was caught by the CCTV and was hurriedly leaving the crime scene.
09:19I thought it was just a breeze.
09:21I didn't notice it. I just heard it.
09:23Then I sat down again and took a selfie.
09:26When I looked at him, he suddenly fell down.
09:28That's when he was shot.
09:30The suspect was traced with the help of the locator of his cell phone.
09:34He ran to Mabalak and Pampanga.
09:37Based on our inquiry,
09:40that's where our suspect really went home.
09:45We cannot know exactly where the man was shot.
09:50But due to his social media account,
09:53we traced it to his Facebook account.
09:56That's where his brother lives.
09:58According to the police, the cause of death is alleged to be drugs.
10:02Revenge.
10:03Because the victim said,
10:05our suspect said that you won't make it to Christmas.
10:10The suspect denied the charges.
10:12I hope the real culprit will be caught.
10:15I didn't do it.
10:16Just a while ago, he was very cooperative.
10:20Suddenly, when you were here, he was different.
10:23We can see the personality of a professional.
10:28He was involved in murder and drugs.
10:32Of course, it's just justice.
10:34He's our father.
10:35There's nothing we can do but support this case.
10:40For GMA Integrated News, I'm Emil Sumangyo.
10:43He was shot.
10:4424 hours.
10:46It's like a drone flying not in the air but in the sea.
10:51That's the new equipment that the Philippines bought in America
10:54and inspected by U.S. Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin
10:58and Defense Secretary Gilbert Chedoro in Palawan,
11:01live from Puerto Princesa City.
11:04Ian Cruz was shot live.
11:06Ian?
11:08Mel, the U.S. Department of Defense believes that the Philippines
11:13will still be important for their country in the future.
11:21At the headquarters of the AFP Western Command in Palawan,
11:24U.S. Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin and Defense Secretary Gilbert Chedoro were there.
11:30Here, they inspected the new T-12 Unmanned Surface Vessel or USV
11:36that the Philippines bought in America.
11:39It's like a drone but instead of flying in the air, it's flying in the sea.
11:43All of this is a help to our operational commanders
11:48to increase their technological capacity.
11:53Because the battle is mostly based on what we want to happen
12:01and also for the safety of our people.
12:04T-12, as you know, a fundamental part of that is the ability to command and control that
12:11using cyber capabilities.
12:14We have to protect those capabilities.
12:16We have to ensure that also as we acquire more of these systems.
12:23On the last visit of Austin and Secretary of State Antony Blinken in July,
12:28the U.S. announced half a billion dollars of military aid for the Philippines.
12:33And while Trump's administration is about to enter the U.S.,
12:37what else can the Philippines expect from our allies,
12:42especially in defending the territory in the West Philippine Sea?
12:45I won't speculate on any changes in policy or anything that the new administration may bring on board.
12:55What I will tell you is that this is an important country,
12:58not only to me but to people in both parties back in the United States of America.
13:03We consider you to be more than just allies.
13:06We're family.
13:07And I cannot imagine a day when the United States of America and the Philippines aren't closely aligned.
13:18Mel, from the Philippines, there is another country in our region that Secretary Austin will visit next
13:25to show the importance of the U.S. to the security of the Indo-Pacific region.
13:31Back to you, Mel.
13:32Thank you very much, Ian Cruz.
13:36Because of the recent typhoons that accompanied the close fishing season,
13:40the price of fish in some places in the country has risen.
13:43So the Department of Agriculture possibly asked to increase the addition of 8,000 metric tons of fish,
13:50including vegetables, if necessary.
13:52Bernadette Reyes is on the scene.
13:58This fish farm in Kamaligan, Camarinesur and Kasiguran, Aurora became like a fishpond.
14:04The next typhoons swept away the crops in Balatan, Camarinesur and Bagao, Cagayan.
14:10The Department of Agriculture estimated that the cost of the next typhoons,
14:16from the typhoon Christine to the typhoon Ophel, is more than 10 billion pesos.
14:19Not including Pinsalang, Dulot, and Super Typhoon Pepito.
14:23The areas that are our agri-area are supposed to be able to recover after some deluvio.
14:34They find themselves having a hard time recovering.
14:38The damage is severe.
14:40This is historical.
14:42What happened is extraordinary.
14:44Extraordinary circumstances.
14:47The D.A. asked for an additional 1 billion pesos quick response fund
14:51to help farmers and fishermen by distributing rice and insurance.
14:57But the government said that it is hard to recover from the next typhoons.
15:03This year, the imported rice in the country was estimated to reach a record high of 4.5 million metric tons.
15:10In spite of the higher importation now,
15:12it helped to have a sufficient supply and a stable price.
15:18But the price of fish is already rising due to the typhoons
15:22that followed the closed fishing season in some places.
15:25In the Litex Market in Quezon City, for example, fresh fish is rarely sold.
15:30It's unfortunate because of the typhoons, it's hard to get fish.
15:34It's all frozen, all imported.
15:36It's possible that additional 8,000 metric tons of fish will increase.
15:40Aside from the previous 30,000 metric tons that are slowly arriving in the country.
15:45We just want to assure that we won't have any problems later on.
15:49Because first, it's the closed fishing season.
15:51Second, the typhoons will follow.
15:55There are losses in the production of fish.
15:59Some fishponds were damaged.
16:04Some boats were damaged.
16:06Some accessories were damaged.
16:08It will take some time to recover.
16:10Aside from fish, according to the Department of Agriculture,
16:13they are also studying how to grow vegetables.
16:15There is no shortage of supplies now, but the price is high.
16:19It's okay.
16:21It's just that the price is high.
16:23Like carrots, eggplant, bitter melon, and bell peppers.
16:31On top of the vegetables, Letlet reduced the amount of vegetables in the pan so that there will be less expenses.
16:37We don't sell vegetables anymore because it's expensive.
16:40Our priority is to get the vegetables from other vegetable-producing areas and regions.
16:46If that would be enough to temper the prices.
16:50So we don't need to import anymore.
16:52But if there's a necessity to import, we will do that.
16:55For GMA Integrated News, Bernadette Reyes, Nakatuto, 24 Hours.
17:02The decision to ban fishing in the country is already in the House of Representatives.
17:08But it's not yet clear whether it will be included in the law.
17:11There is a new mode that is being investigated by the Bureau of Immigration.
17:17Jonathan Andal is on the case.
17:22The motion is approved.
17:25The House Committee on Games and Amusement approved the proposed laws that will ban fishing.
17:31According to the PAG-COR, there are already 27 fishing boats operating.
17:35But it's already in the process of closing.
17:37According to the DOLE, 30,000 Filipino pogo workers are affected.
17:41The DOLE has a program for them.
17:44Like this job fair earlier and tomorrow in a mall in Pasay.
17:47That has more than 12,000 jobs for the Filipino former pogo workers.
17:5320,000 foreign pogo workers have already been downgraded from working to being a tourist visa.
18:00According to the Bureau of Immigration, more than 10,000 of them have already left the Philippines.
18:05But a congressman reported that there is a new mode.
18:09There is a new mode in the BI.
18:13It's called back-to-back racket.
18:16The pogo workers who are leaving the Philippines are also returned when the papers are fixed.
18:22Is that report true?
18:25We have to consult on this, Mr. Chair.
18:29Actually, this is the first time we came across that report.
18:32According to the DOLE, they have already cancelled the 36,000 AEP or Alien Employment Permit in Pogo.
18:39And if there are still any left, it is considered expired.
18:42If a legislator wants to clarify,
18:44are the special class BPO, which are gaming companies, also included in the Pogo ban?
18:51As I mentioned, this is an emerging type.
18:55It is also an offshore type, but it is not like the current type of Pogo.
19:03So, where should we draw the line?
19:07What should be banned?
19:09What should not be banned?
19:10So, I think, Mr. Chair, that is one of the things that should be clarified.
19:15The bill against Pogo is now in the committee.
19:19It will be brought to the plenary for debate and voting.
19:23For GMA Integrated News, Jonathan Andal, for 24 Hours.
19:32It's time for the latest showbiz happenings.
19:37Our guest is none other than,
19:39in Balitanghali.

21:04I'm happy to celebrate it with all of them.
21:06Gabby just came from Singapore,
21:09where she attended an event
21:11of a top international fashion house.

21:17So, it's a one-of-a-kind experience.
21:20I've always wanted to attend their events.
21:24Finally, it happened in Singapore.
21:27I met so many people.
21:29I met Becky Arms,
