00:00We will be together, Saksi!
00:12The actress, Nery Naig Miranda, was chosen to play the role of Saksi.
00:15The case of violation of the Securities Regulation Code is against her.
00:20That's why the court decided to let her read the script.
00:23Our Saksihan.
00:26From the Pasay Regional Trial Court,
00:28the negotiator and actress, Nery Naig Miranda, was brought back to Pasay City Jail.
00:33The arraignment of the case of violation of the Securities Regulation Code
00:37did not proceed after the motion to quash the actress was filed.
00:42The court first submitted a statement to the Prosecution and the Securities and Exchange Commission
00:48regarding the motion.
00:50The arraignment was filed on January 9.
00:53Nery did not give a statement.
00:57Chito Miranda first defended his wife,
01:00who claimed that she was not a fraud and that Nery was not the culprit.
01:05In Chito's post, he mentioned a wallet owned by Dermacare.
01:11He said that all the money went to him,
01:14He said that all the money went to him,
01:16along with the fact that Nery did not get any money from other people.
01:20Chito also split the cash from a wallet and a coin.
01:25It was addressed to Nery, but there was no receipt and no signature.
01:31He asked for compensation for the issues faced by Dermacare.
01:36According to the cash,
01:37no one was able to distribute the share of Dermacare to their investors.
01:43They are now solving the problem.
01:46In the Sec's advisory in September 2023,
01:50the Chief Operating Officer of Dermacare Beyond Skin Care Solutions
01:55slash Beyond Skin Care Solutions was named Chanda Atienza.
02:00It states that the company is not authorized to solicit investments
02:05because it is not registered and there is no license for it.
02:09In the same advisory,
02:11the commission also stated that salesmen, brokers, dealers, agents, promoters,
02:17influencers and endorsers of Dermacare may be accused
02:21of soliciting investments from the public.
02:24In a post in September 1, 2023,
02:27Nery stated that he is no longer affiliated with Dermacare
02:30and that any transaction using his name is not authorized
02:35or that it was done without his permission.
02:39GMI Integrated News is still trying to find Atienza
02:42in order to get his share.
02:44We will receive his statement tomorrow.
02:48For GMI Integrated News,
02:50I am Ian Cruz, your witness.
02:54Aside from the committee in the camera,
02:55they also heard about the confidential funds
02:58to give way for Vice President Sara Duterte
03:01in the investigation of NBI.
03:03The NBI is also one of the leaders in the Zoom meeting
03:06where the Vice President called his controversial statements.
03:12Witness, Raffy Tima.
03:17Tomorrow, the National Bureau of Investigation will hold a meeting
03:20to explain Vice President Sara Duterte,
03:22her statements against the President, First Lady and House Speaker.
03:26But in Zamboanga City yesterday,
03:28VP Sara said that she asked the NBI to reschedule this.
03:32She conflicted with our schedule
03:35in the hearing of the House of Representatives
03:39in the Good Governance Committee.
03:41So they have two conflicts.
03:43But to give way for the NBI,
03:45the House Committee on Good Governance and Public Accountability decided
03:49to exclude their hearing regarding the confidential funds of the OVP.
03:53So we are not using it as an excuse
03:56to answer the complaint here
03:59because we believe that this issue in the NBI is very important
04:05and it concerns national security.
04:10The chairman of the committee also clarified that
04:12they did not lift the contempt order
04:14against the Special Disbursement Officer of the OVP, Gina Acosta.
04:17It was a furlough or temporary like what was given to the other three officials.
04:21The NBI has not yet received an abuse from the Vice President
04:25if it will be rescheduled tomorrow.
04:28It will be considered as waiver on her part to explain her side.
04:50We will just proceed with our report.
04:57We will proceed.
04:58We will submit the case to the Prosecutor's Office of the DOJ.
05:05Sabpina was given the visa for the possible complaint of grave threats
05:08and fighting the anti-terror law.
05:10Aside from VP Sara, another member of the NBI,
05:13as well as the other members of the Zoom meeting
05:15where VP Sara said her statements,
05:18we are still trying to get VP Sara's statement
05:20regarding the statements of the House Committee and the NBI.
05:23An official of the Department of Justice clarified
05:26that VP Sara has no right to be designated as a terrorist.
05:29She's not being designated as a terrorist.
05:32She's not doing anything to the Vice President.
05:35She's not the head of the government.
05:37She's not doing anything.
05:38The act of her threat, that's what she was responsible for.
05:42The Philippine National Police said that they are ready to face
05:45the anti-demand plan of the Vice President
05:47following the commotion last Saturday
05:49regarding the transfer of Atty. Zulay Calopes to his Chief of Staff.
05:53They have the right to face the PNP.
05:56We will wait for the official copy of the cases
06:00that they filed against our police force.
06:02We believe that the actions of our police force
06:06last Saturday,
06:08this is also a response to the request of the House of Representatives
06:14and we have not violated any law.
06:17Today, VP Sara went to Pangasinan
06:19where they received their gift packs
06:22as part of their anniversary.
06:24There, Duterte called for every voter to be respected
06:27and not to go against the promises of politicians
06:30in the upcoming 2025 midterm elections.
06:33We should not go against the purchase of votes.
06:39Now, buying votes is legal.
06:44It is hidden in the name of voting,
06:46it is hidden in the name of voting,
06:48it is hidden in the name of action.
06:50And that is what politicians use
06:54to give to their supporters.
06:58For GMI Integrated News,
07:00I am Rafi Pima, your witness.
07:04I saw Chinese militia vessels
07:07near Pagasa Island in the West Philippine Sea.
07:10It is based on the satellite image.
07:12But according to the Philippine Navy,
07:13no one should be concerned.
07:15Witness, Chino Gaston.
07:21This is a satellite image of Pagasa Island
07:23on November 25,
07:25part of the Kalayaan Island Group in Palawan.
07:28Near the island,
07:29you can see a fishing fleet
07:31and according to Reuters,
07:33this is a part of the Chinese maritime militia.
07:36In social media posts,
07:38security analyst Ray Powell also pointed out
07:41that more than 80 Chinese vessels
07:44were spotted near Pagasa Island this Tuesday.
07:47And according to the source of GMA News,
07:49last week, there were no Chinese ships,
07:52but yesterday, they returned.
07:55The AFP confirmed that
07:56there are more Chinese fishing militia vessels
07:59in Pagasa Island,
08:00but this should not be alarmed.
08:03According to the Philippine Navy,
08:04these could be from the Subi or Zamora Reef
08:08where they came from during the typhoons.
08:11Within the territorial sea of Pagasa is Subi Reef.
08:14Subi Reef, Johnson, Mischief,
08:16these are bases of the PLA
08:19where their PLA Navy, Coast Guard,
08:23and the maritime militia
08:25came to a particular place at a particular time.
08:28So it's nothing to be alarmed
08:29because as we said,
08:31all over the South China Sea,
08:32there could be as many as 250
08:34of these maritime militia vessels.
08:37We are still waiting for the reaction
08:38of the Chinese Embassy about this.
08:41For GMA Integrated News,
08:43who do you want?
08:44Saksi.
08:46Earlier, the Senate and the House of Representatives
08:49laughed at their version
08:51of the so-called 2025 National Budget.
08:54One of the arguments is the controversial program
08:57for aid.
08:59Saksi, Simal Gonzales.
09:04The House of Representatives wants to give P39 billion
09:07in funds for ACAP
09:08or aid to the Kaposangkita Program
09:10for the next year.
09:12But some Senators rejected it
09:13because they insisted that it was led
09:15by Congressmen
09:16in the final version of the budget
09:18that they did not know about.
09:20The Senate and the House of Representatives
09:22did not raise funds for 2025.
09:24This is the difference
09:25between their version
09:26of the so-called 2025 National Budget
09:29targeted by the Senate and House of Representatives
09:32In the Bicameral Conference Committee,
09:34they formed a Joint Technical Working Group earlier.
09:37Let's keep things practical and straightforward.
09:40We don't need to overcomplicate this.
09:43My only plea is for us, conferees,
09:46not to take ourselves too seriously.
09:49If the discussion is too heated,
09:52we may need to have a coffee break
09:54to settle our differences.
09:56Some Senators insisted
09:57to give them time to review
09:59the final version of the budget.
10:01Before we sign the Bicam report,
10:07please give us enough time
10:09to read over again
10:11and check for everything, Madam Chair.
10:14Before we sign.
10:15So that we won't look stupid.
10:17Yes, Senator De La Rosa,
10:19this has been the commitment
10:21of your Chairman of Finance
10:24as well as our Senate President.
10:26It is also possible to discuss in Bicam
10:28the reduced budget
10:29of the Office of the Vice President.
10:30Actually, there are just a few
10:32major differences there.
10:34You heard about ACAP, for example.
10:38We agreed on different initiatives as well.
10:44So, for now, let's just wait
10:46for what will be the differences.
10:50Because, of course,
10:51you will have a fight.
10:53Senate President Cheese Escudero assured
10:56that before the Christmas break of the Congress,
10:58they will give the President
11:00the final budget.
11:01It's a long and complicated issue.
11:03I expect that in the coming weeks,
11:06before we adjourn
11:08for the Christmas break,
11:09it will be completed.
11:10The conference panel
11:12will be able to hold their meetings.
11:14For GMA Integrated News,
11:16I am Mav Gonzalez, your witness.
11:19For GMA Integrated News,
11:21I am Mav Gonzalez, your witness.
11:29In order to get information online quickly,
11:31the spread of false information
11:33and fake news is also spreading fast.
11:36It affects the lives, health,
11:38and freedom of people.
11:41How can the truth and fake news be shared?
11:44I am Mackie Polido,
11:46fake news.
11:49Because of technology,
11:50information is at your fingertips.
11:55With just one click,
11:56the information is already there,
11:57whether you are looking for it or not.
11:59But even if the information is instant,
12:01it doesn't mean that you will be fooled instantly.
12:08Professor JM Lanusa said,
12:10he is one of those who studies
12:11the spread of fake news.
12:12Whether you believe it or not,
12:14it depends on your beliefs, experiences,
12:16biases, or weaknesses.
12:18Those are the things that will be
12:20followed by those who want to be fooled.
12:21Behind this are the social media experts,
12:25marketing experts, and scammers
12:27who will look for your weaknesses,
12:29just believe it.
12:30Designed to be convincing,
12:32no matter how determined you are to be against it,
12:35if it exploits your weaknesses,
12:39your cognitive weaknesses,
12:40or your biases,
12:41it's hard to question.
12:45Fake news has a direct side effect
12:48that sometimes,
12:49money or almost life is the alternative.
12:51Life is the alternative.
12:53In 2016,
12:54Mary Ann Obnamia was diagnosed
12:56with stage 2 breast cancer.
12:58At that time,
12:59Mary Ann was afraid of doctors' recommendations
13:01on chemotherapy.
13:02That's why she looked online
13:04for alternative medicine against cancer.
13:06The products called natural chemotherapy
13:08came out of her timeline
13:11and she was hooked on their promises.
13:13I was shocked by the information
13:15that they said that
13:16there's a natural content of chemotherapy
13:19that you don't need to go to the doctor
13:21once you drink these.
13:24They said that you don't need to go to the doctor
13:27you don't need to go to the hospital
13:30you don't need to go to the doctor
13:32because there's a natural content of chemotherapy.
13:35So I believed it
13:37since I don't want to go to the doctor.
13:41After drinking it for more than 4 years,
13:44the lesion on Mary Ann's breast came out
13:46and her stage 2 cancer
13:48became stage 4.
13:50She went to the doctor again
13:51and underwent chemotherapy
13:53and now, she's cancer-free.
13:55In hindsight,
13:57I thought
13:58why did I believe it?
14:00Maybe in my part,
14:02the hope that I'm looking for
14:05for another alternative
14:07is hope.
14:08It's up to you.
14:09You have to risk it.
14:11Because you don't want this kind of medicine.
14:16Aside from the direct risk
14:18like what happened to Mary Ann,
14:20Professor Lanuza said
14:22in a broader or macro level,
14:24society is the one at risk.
14:26What disables disinformation
14:28is the ability to trust,
14:30ability to dialogue,
14:31ability to debate.
14:32Our democratic institutions have no foundation.
14:35No one believes in the media,
14:37no one believes in schools.
14:39How can a fake be exposed?
14:43It's a mess,
14:44but this is still the advice
14:45of the Sigla Research Center
14:47to encourage verified online news outlets
14:50for information.
14:51Go to a news media
14:55that is well-known like GMA.
14:57Because there's accountability
15:00to these kinds of companies.
15:02Journalists can't just make
15:05content that can be spread online.
15:09Whereas if you send it to influencers,
15:12there are no accountability measures.
15:15So there's a tendency
15:17that no one is watching them.
15:20The fight against fake news and disinformation
15:23should be a fight for the whole society.
15:26Professor Edgar Belda
15:27of the UP Department of Family Life
15:29and Child Development
15:31created a digital book for children.
15:33Instead of banning the use of smartphones or computers,
15:37the current generation of digital natives
15:39is teaching children
15:41how to process information online.
15:44In the book we call it the red things,
15:46the red areas,
15:47the red flag.
15:48You shouldn't be watching this.
15:50This is the DMVCI.
15:53These are prohibited.
15:55And then the other one is agency building.
15:58Before they start accepting it as true,
16:01they should be able to stop, pause, breathe, and think.
16:05And then decide on what do I currently know
16:10and then how should I respond to this new information.
16:14Basically, that's debunking.
16:16Maybe you've heard of the concept of debunking.
16:18Parents need help.
16:19The digital book has a story guide
16:21for parents to guide them.
16:23Through that, they will also learn.
16:25This is a way to prepare the next generation
16:29that has awakened to the digital world.
16:33For GMA Integrated News,
16:35I'm Mackie Pulido,
16:36your Saksi.
16:39It's not just domestic workers,
16:41but professionals in different sectors
16:43that Singapore's employers are looking for.
16:46According to the Singaporean Ambassador to the Philippines,
16:49Filipinos can apply
16:51in the sectors of engineering,
16:53nursing, technology, and banking.
16:56In Canada,
16:571 million jobs are expected to be opened
16:59for foreign workers
17:01until 2033.
17:03More than 800,000 job openings
17:05are expected to be opened in Japan
17:07within 5 years.
17:09One of their new requirements
17:12is to have a Japanese Language Proficiency Certificate.
17:17KOREAN GIRL GROUP NUGENES
17:23KOREAN GIRL GROUP NUGENES
17:25signed an exclusive contract
17:27with their agency, Adore,
17:29a subsidiary of HYBE Corporation.
17:31It was announced at an emergency press conference
17:35by the members of the group,
17:37Minji, Hani, Danielle, Harin, and Hyein.
17:41They said on November 13
17:43that if Adore doesn't fix
17:46the significant breaches in their contract,
17:49within two weeks,
17:51they will continue to fire Adore.
17:53They said,
17:54HYBE has no plans
17:56and the current leader of Adore
17:59has fulfilled their requests.
18:02They will do everything
18:03to continue as a group
18:05without any complications.
18:08They also said
18:09that they may not use the name Nugenes,
18:12but that doesn't mean
18:13that they will give it up.
18:15They said,
18:16regardless of our name,
18:17just remember that Nugenes never dies.
18:20Adore said that Nugenes' announcement
18:22was very saddening.
18:23Despite the label,
18:24they did not violate the contract.
18:26They said that this is still valid
18:27so they are hoping to continue
18:29their scheduled activities as a group.
18:32They said that they will do their best
18:34to support the group.
18:37A vintage bomb was found
18:39on the side of a former Filipino woman
18:41in Pasay City.
18:42It was hit by a knife
18:43by a backhoe
18:44during a road widening operation
18:45of the New Naia Infra Corporation
18:47Skyway Tollgate.
18:49Because of that,
18:50the operation was stopped
18:51to avoid the possible explosion of the bomb.
18:55The PNP Explosive Ordnance Disposal Unit
18:57also responded to the incident.
19:00Vintage bombs will be brought
19:02to the PNP headquarters
19:03to be studied
19:04before being disposed of.
19:0727 days only,

19:38Aside from the cold wind,
19:40the Christmas lights
19:42in Dasmariñas
19:44also added to the Christmas feels.
19:52The length of Congressional Avenue
19:54in Dasmariñas, Cavite,
19:55was illuminated.
19:57The trees and posts
19:58are full of colorful lights
20:00that look like stars and fireflies.
20:03The lights are also flickering.
20:07Aside from that,
20:08there are also Christmas decorations
20:10along Daniel Street.
20:12That's why this is a favorite destination
20:14for family and friends.
20:17It's fun and we get together.
20:20I'm with my grandchild
20:21and my niece.
20:22The wind is fresh,
20:23it's cold,
20:24and it's fresh.
20:25We only get together once in a while
20:27for this kind of thing
20:29every year.
20:31And the decorations,
20:33when I was young,
20:34the lights were different.
20:36In Dasmariñas Sports Complex,
20:39you can see a big Christmas tree
20:41surrounded by colorful lights.

21:34where you can go down
21:35and take a picture
21:37of a safe place
21:38that is not dangerous

21:49of Daniel Street
21:50until the end,
21:51it is full of people

22:02their motorcycles,
22:03their cars,

22:05to the sidewalk
22:06to take pictures
22:07of the beautiful
22:08Christmas decors

22:12And oh, Jamie,
22:13my mom said earlier
22:14that the weather
22:15is getting cold.
22:16Do you need to wear a jacket
22:18for the next few weeks?
22:20♪♪♪
22:24Pia, the weather
22:25is getting cold
22:26here in Dasmariñas, Cavite.
22:28If you can see,
22:29my mom said
22:30that the weather
22:31is getting cold
22:32because as the night
22:33gets deeper,
22:34the weather
22:35is getting colder
22:36here in Cavite.
22:37So, it looks like
22:38you need to wear a jacket.
22:39And Pia, around here,
22:40there are people
22:41selling coffee
22:42so that those who are getting
22:43cold
22:44can get warm.
22:45Pia.
22:46Oh, Jamie, thank you.
22:47And of course,

22:50while the cars
22:51are moving.
22:52Just park it.
22:54Thank you very much, Jamie.
