02:32His journey starts from 5 o'clock in the afternoon until 5 o'clock in the early morning.
02:37He avoids the heat.
02:39Now that the weather is getting colder, his puffer jacket is his partner in Pamamasada.
02:44I already feel it. That's why I put on a jacket because in the early morning, it's already cold.
02:50It's very cold.
02:52When we have passengers, they say it's very cold here.

04:11we can see that there is still a lot of activity during this time.
04:16Earlier, we saw a lot of people wearing jackets and long sleeves.
04:22Some of them are wearing them while jogging.
04:26I think it's just right and proper to ask you, Igan,
04:29are you also wearing a jacket now that the weather is cold?
04:33That's the first news from Antipolo, Rizal.
04:36EJ Gomez for GMA Integrated News.
04:42Some congressmen are calling on Vice President Sara Duterte
04:46to step into the House of Representatives to use confidential funds of her office.
04:52According to the House Committee on Good Government and Public Accountability Chairman Joel Chua,
04:57it's not enough for Vice President to step in because they have a lot of things to clarify.
05:01VP Duterte insisted that he will not step into the hearing
05:05because his time was wasted during the previous hearings.
05:09As expected, Mary Grace Piatos signed the receipts
05:14to explain the spending of the OVP on confidential funds.
05:18According to Congressman Chua,
05:20he will ask the Philippine Statistic Authority to provide information to Mary Grace Piatos.
05:30President Bongbong Marcos is hastening the approval of the 6.352 trillion budget for 2025.
05:40In a letter to Senate President Chisa Escudero,
05:42the President said that the 2025 General Appropriations Bill must be approved immediately
05:48to ensure that the government's programs and services will continue.
05:52As for the Senate Committee on Finance Chairperson Grace Poe,
05:56the plenary debates of the 2025 budget were concluded yesterday.
06:00But this cannot be included in the second reading
06:04because the senators need to prepare their amendments based on the debates in the plenary.
06:11President-elect Donald Trump is planning to deport unauthorized immigrants to the United States.
06:20According to Trump, he will declare a national emergency and will use his military to implement it.
06:26According to the U.S. Homeland Security, led by GME Integrated News Research,
06:31there are more than 300,000 unauthorized Filipino immigrants in the United States.
06:37The Philippine Ambassador to the U.S., Jose Manuel Romualdez, said that it is better for the unauthorized immigrants to leave the country
06:45so that they can apply and enter the country legally.
06:48If they are deported, they will have no chance to return to the United States.
06:52President-elect Bongbong Marcos talked to Trump yesterday.
06:56President-elect Imelda Marcos, the former First Lady of the United States,
07:01and the President-elect of the Philippines and the United States also talked to Trump.
07:04According to the President, they did not talk about the issue of mass deportation, but our government is already preparing.
07:14We didn't talk about that. It was just a congratulatory call.
07:17But of course, our ambassador is already working on that.
07:23As the change of administration in the United States is approaching,
07:26U.S. Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin believes that the strong relationship between the Philippines and the United States
07:34will be affected by the changes in the administration of U.S. President-elect Donald Trump.
07:39If Austin confirms, the United States will remain committed to the mutual defense treaty of the two countries.
07:45Before the U.S. presidential elections,
07:48other U.S. officials said that the alliance between the Philippines and the United States will not change.
07:56This is an important country, not only to me, but to people in both parties back in the United States of America.
08:03We consider you to be more than just allies. We're family.
08:06And I cannot imagine a day when the United States of America and the Philippines aren't closely aligned.
08:14The House approved the proposal to give senior citizens the opportunity to work.
08:20What can the senior citizens of Street Heerit know about this?
08:27Ma'am?
08:31Good morning!
08:33For active senior citizens, there is a law that will give them access to work.
08:40Here on Street Heerit.
08:42The senior citizen, Maribel Oronos, worked hard to get this position in San Juan Market.
08:47She's been selling since 1986.
08:49She took good care of it because she knows it will be hard for her to get a job when she gets old.
08:55It's a big thing, really, because first of all, when it comes to the Philippines, seniors are out.
09:02For senior citizens who can still work, this House Bill 10985 is a big help.
09:09House Bill 10985.
09:11It's been approved in the third and final reading in the House of Representatives.
09:15This will give senior citizens the opportunity to work in the government and private sector.
09:22The private sector will also be incentivized to have a 25% deduction in their gross income tax if a senior citizen is employed.
09:30Under the Panokalam Batas, DOLE and TESDA are mandated to conduct training programs for senior citizens.
09:36This is a good opportunity for Roberto Oria, a tricycle driver, who will also be a senior citizen in his next term.
09:42But he should also be mindful of his health, especially when his body is aching.
09:47I can't do it anymore. Even if I'm a senior, I can't work anymore.
09:52I'm already 59. I can't work anymore.
09:57I'm dizzy.
09:59Will I be able to work properly?
10:02Before a law is passed, there should be a version of the Panokalam Batas in the Senate, or it will be adopted by the Senate.
10:09It will be passed by the Bicameral Conference Committee and the President's signature.
10:18Yes, this is also a benefit to not have to collect fees or pay for senior citizens who are applying for job requirements.
10:26I'm Street Heroic from San Juan, Bava Legre for GMA Integrated News.
10:33She was the one who revealed the newest character in the GMA Prime series, Widow Swar.
