NewsTranscript
00:00It's still far away, but it's already far away.
00:06Many netizens are proud to share their small to big achievements on social media.
00:15Let's listen to your voice in supporting Darling Kai.
00:21Many netizens are using the hashtag feelingblessed right now.
00:25It's a viral trend where people are sharing stories of their small wins or simple dreams that are slowly coming true.
00:32For example, they don't put a lot of water in their instant noodles anymore.
00:37Another story is that they don't wear flip-flops anymore.
00:41They are craving for sardines instead of daily food.
00:45Their parents are also not pretending to be full just to feed their children.
00:50Jessica is a 36-year-old vegetarian.
00:54Because of her difficult life when she was growing up,
00:57they can't eat three times a day.
01:00They say that their daily necessities come from relief goods from the church.
01:05Because her mother's income is not enough for her to sell snacks and her father is a construction worker.
01:10I've experienced salting rice,
01:13frying soy sauce,
01:15and cooking rice so that we can eat.
01:17Once there's something left in our store, we sell it.
01:20That's what we eat at night.
01:22What if there's nothing left?
01:23There's nothing left.
01:24Even though she didn't finish her studies,
01:26she got a good job as a sales representative.
01:29So now, she can eat the food that she dreams of tasting.
01:34One day, I'll be able to buy that.
01:38And now?
01:39I'll be able to buy that.
01:40I'm happy.
01:41Because that's where I got my inspiration from.
01:45It's simple for some,
01:47but for those who grew up in life,
01:49it's a big deal.
01:51In those times,
01:53even if it's only 7 pesos,
01:57it was hard for us.
01:58But as time went by,
02:01now, we're on the rise.
02:06We're within reach now.
02:12When I was young,
02:13I used to borrow cellphones.
02:15Now, I have a job.
02:16I can buy a cellphone.
02:18I used to buy things,
02:19but now, I'm broke.
02:21Based on the data of the Philippine Statistics Authority or PSA,
02:24the number of poor people in the last few years has decreased.
02:28The total number of poor Filipino families
02:32or those who earn less than the poverty threshold of 13,873 pesos per month has decreased.
02:38But that still means that
02:40almost 18 million Filipinos or almost 3 million families are poor.
02:45That's why Jessica can say that life is still hard.
02:48If I had to say,
02:50it's just a little.
02:52Because if I had to say,
02:54I've been through a lot.
02:56But until now,
02:57we're still struggling.
02:59I still dream of buying our own house.
03:02Now,
03:03Inusan is already big.
03:05And that's what she's most thankful for.
03:08So,
03:09even if it's far,
03:11it's already far.
03:13My message to those like me,
03:16don't give up.
03:17Don't give up.
03:18Just go for it.
03:19Work hard in life because you're not permanent.
03:23For GMA Integrated News,
03:25Darlene Cai,
03:26for 24 Hours.
03:29And now, let's listen to what our online viewers are thankful for.
03:34The far,
03:35but far away moment of a netizen,
03:38who doesn't need to borrow rice for food
03:42or doesn't need to buy corn for school.
03:47Also,
03:48some don't need to wait for a birthday celebration
03:52just to eat spaghetti,
03:54Shanghai,
03:55or cake.
03:56If before,
03:57food is a problem for some netizens,
03:59they don't think about it anymore,
04:01like asking a neighbor for food
04:03or budgeting a can of sardines
04:06for a family with six members.
04:09Of course,
04:10helping the family financially is an achievement for some.
04:14There's also going strong in their fitness journey
04:17and a dream of traveling that is coming true.
04:21But more than all of that,
04:23for a netizen,
04:24every waking up is a blessing
04:27that should be thanked every day.
04:30My dears,
04:31you can also let your voice be heard on social media accounts
04:35for 24 hours.
04:38The Senate Committee is currently investigating
04:41the spread of fake PWD cards
04:45that are being allocated and sold online.
04:49Aside from the millions of pesos that the government is losing,
04:52it is also affecting the income of the establishments
04:56of its victims.
04:58Ma'am Gonzalez is on the case.
05:00Ma'am Gonzalez.
05:03Establishments don't get a small discount
05:06using a person with disability card.
05:08But businessmen say
05:10it's becoming an abuse
05:12because of people who just pretend to have a disability.
05:16It is not uncommon for us to have a table of 10 people,
05:20everyone will have a PWD card.
05:22It's very regularly seen,
05:24100% PWD card usage.
05:28We've had cases where husband and wife
05:31have the same serial number with their PWD card
05:34and they claim it's a conjugal disability.
05:36There are also cases of pilots who have a PWD card
05:39because of eye problems.
05:41We've had pilots who would give PWD cards for visual disability.
05:45In other words, they are legally blind pilots.
05:48The issue is being investigated by the Senate Committee on Ways and Means.
05:52Even its chairman, Senator Win Gatchalian,
05:55knows of a suspicious use of PWD card
05:58obtained by the LGU in a suspicious manner.
06:01I have experience to be honest about it.
06:03I have friends who drink but have PWD IDs.
06:07According to Gatchalian,
06:08in 2023 alone,
06:10the government lost P88 billion.
06:13The P88 billion is in the form of taxes
06:16because they don't pay VAT,
06:18lesser income tax
06:20because the businesses are filing deductibility.
06:25So P88 billion is forgone.
06:28It is lost to the government.
06:30In terms of discounts being given by establishments,
06:36it's P166 billion being given by establishments.
06:41The most affected here are the restaurants.
06:44I fail to see the significance of why a person with disability
06:48is allowed to claim a 20% discount for a P25,000 bottle of whiskey
06:54or a P6,000 steak.
06:56This inevitably will force us to raise prices.
06:59And when we raise prices,
07:01the effect will be to harm the persons with disabilities themselves.
07:06The Department of Finance also said
07:08that food prices will increase because of what is happening.
07:12If the system is abused with these discounts,
07:15then the only way to recoup those losses
07:17is by putting a higher price.
07:20According to the research of Gatchalian's office,
07:23more than P8.5 million use Pekin PWD cards in the country.
07:28In Valenzuela City,
07:29City Hall was the last to sell a Pekin PWD card.
07:33In other words, someone is selling fake PWD IDs.
07:38Yes.
07:39But their claim, they think it's true.
07:41It's true.
07:42Because the person who offered it,
07:45they know it's related to City Hall.
07:49From P500 to P2,500,
07:52the PWD card was sold in Quezon City.
07:56It was sold online.
07:57Facebook market and through the help of our PDAO officers,
08:02we inquired with them as to their PWD ID
08:08and we entrapped them upon delivering the fake ID.
08:13Supermarkets are also being attacked
08:15where PWDs have a 5% discount
08:18because it's hard to check if the PWD card is real.
08:21Establishments are asking
08:23to make the card look like one
08:26so that it's easy for people to get it.
08:28It's also hoped that there will be a digital registry
08:31so that you can check if a PWD card is real-time.
08:34For GMA Integrated News,
08:36Ma'am Gonzales,
08:3724 Hours.
08:40My fellow countrymen,
08:41the Kabi-Kabilang Handaan is now near.
08:43Be careful with the ingredients you buy for cooking.
08:46It's like the famous Pinekeng Seasoning Granules
08:50in Plaridel, Bulacan
08:51that has a positive effect on salmonella.
08:53John Consulta,
08:54Exclusive.
09:00Armed with a search warrant,
09:01the NPI Dangerous Drugs Division
09:04opened this warehouse in Plaridel, Bulacan
09:06before the Chinese national was cornered
09:08in his office.
09:10Upon entering the warehouse,
09:12a box filled with different kinds
09:15of Pinekeng Seasoning Granules
09:17was found.
09:18According to the NPI,
09:19these were made in China
09:21and were forced to enter the Philippines
09:23because the Pinekeng Seasoning Granules
09:25were hidden in the cargo of imported clothes.
09:28They were sent to small stores.
09:31However,
09:32when the NPI and FDA examined these samples,
09:35they discovered a danger.
09:38The initial finding is that
09:40there's a presence of salmonella
09:42which indicates that it's not fit
09:45for human consumption.
09:47So, if you eat this,
09:51or it enters your body,
09:53there is a danger that you're going to get sick.
09:55Salmonella is a type of bacteria
09:58that causes gastrointestinal illness
10:00and it can be found in contaminated food,
10:03drinks, and animal feces.
10:05It can cause nausea,
10:07vomiting,
10:08fever, and stomach aches.
10:10The NPI searched the Pinekeng Seasoning Granules
10:13while the Chinese negotiator
10:15was arrested.
10:17We're still trying to get the suspect's statement.
10:20NPI's reminder.
10:22We have reputable supermarkets
10:24working by these Seasoning Granules
10:29that are safe for you to buy.
10:34NPI Director Jamie Santiago
10:36ordered the follow-up operation
10:39to investigate the places
10:41where counterfeit Seasoning Granules are dropped.
10:44For JMA Integrated News,
10:46John Consulta.
10:48Tune in for 24 hours.
10:54One step forward and three steps back,
10:56the film singer Olivia Rodrigo
10:59is back in the Philippines for the first time.
11:02In the special snippet,
11:04Olivia says she's enough
11:06and loves Filo-Livis.
11:08We have a report from Yvonne Aquino.
11:19Filo-Livis, do you get deja vu?
11:22Two months after a successful
11:24God's World Tour Manila star show
11:26by Filipino-American singer Olivia Rodrigo,
11:33she returned to the Philippines
11:35for her memorable first trip.
11:38Olivia shared her side trip
11:40to Intramuros with her Pinoy dad.
11:42I've always been on my bucket list.
11:44I've always wanted to come here
11:45for as long as I can remember.
11:46Their father-daughter bonding,
11:48riding a bike.
11:49I'm just so happy to be here.
11:50It feels really awesome.
11:53The Pinoy food trip is also a part of her fun trip.
11:56When the food fight is ready,
11:58we say, attack!
12:01Of course, the meal can't be complete
12:03without...
12:04So basically, halo-halo is mix-mix.
12:10My favorite dessert is halo-halo.
12:13After the delicious meal,
12:15Olivia went straight to her chosen charity
12:18for her Silver Star show.
12:20This is where all the money she earned from the show went.
12:22Those tickets support this incredible charity
12:25in the Philippines called JEPAYGO
12:26that champions women and girls' health.
12:28Thank you very much, Olivia,
12:30for this visit.
12:31We're really very much honored
12:32to have you with us.
12:35The show day is new.
12:36I'm a little nervous,
12:37but I'm so excited.
12:39It's going to be so much fun.
12:42She felt the love and support
12:44of the Pinoy fans outside the arena.
12:51But after her rock and roll on stage,
12:54Olivia became emotional.
12:59I was just thinking about my family the whole time.
13:01I don't know.
13:02It's just beautiful.
13:04I'm so grateful.
13:05I'm so grateful that everyone came.
13:07It was so much fun.
13:09I just feel like the luckiest girl that I've ever met.
13:13For GMA Integrated News,
13:14I'm Bonaquino Nakatutok.
13:16Thanks for watching.
13:1724 Hours.
13:20A Vietnamese who used to be a Pogo employee in Pampanga
13:24is worried about the state of her daughter.
13:27Her documents are still not in order
13:30for her to be brought to Vietnam
13:32and not be left here in the country.
13:34This is what Sandra Aguinaldo is talking about.
13:39In the facility of the Presidential Anti-Organized Crime Commission or PAOC,
13:43there is a child who is being taken care of by employees.
13:48This is Yau Yau, a two-year-old girl.
13:51She doesn't have a real name,
13:53but this is the license given to her by her Chinese father.
13:58Sometimes,
13:59she is allowed by PAOC employees
14:02to use their gadgets to have fun.
14:06Because of Yau Yau,
14:08Ms. Tulan is also in jail
14:10along with her mother, Lucky,
14:12a Vietnamese
14:14who is waiting for deportation
14:16back to Vietnam.
14:18Lucky used to be a Pogo employee in Pampanga and Cebu
14:22until PAOC raids reached Fontana in Clark, Pampanga.
14:27Lucky is now in trouble
14:29because Yau Yau doesn't have enough documents
14:32for her to be brought to Vietnam.
14:35Yau Yau's Chinese father
14:37has been deported to China
14:39seven months ago.
14:41What's certain is that
14:43Lucky will do everything
14:45so that they won't be separated from their child.
14:48If she is here, I am here.
14:50If I leave, she will leave.
14:53If Yau Yau leaves, she will leave.
14:56And if Yau Yau stays here, she will stay here too.
14:59PAOC has insisted
15:01that Yau Yau's documents should be arranged
15:04so that she won't be left in the Philippines
15:07and become stateless or without a country.
15:10If the embassy in Vietnam allows her
15:13to go to Vietnam with Yau Yau,
15:15then that's okay.
15:16That's better for us.
15:18Because she really needs her mother's care.
15:20Lucky said that she will be separated
15:23from her Chinese partner before she is deported.
15:26That's why she will raise her child as a single mom.
15:30But for now,
15:32the mother is hoping for PAOC's help.
15:36How are you taking care of your child
15:38here in this facility?
15:47In here, PAOC will provide the food
15:51and then provide the diapers
15:53and the drink of the milk.
16:00This is Yau Yau's world
16:02within 6 months.
16:04The playground is a hallway.
16:06The classrooms are offices.
16:09Her mother said
16:11that if Yau Yau grows up in Vietnam,
16:14she will tell her story
16:16that she was born in the Philippines
16:19and experienced care
16:22from the Filipinos.
16:26For GMA Integrated News,
16:29Sandra Aguinaldo,
16:30for 24 Hours.
16:33The BRP Datu Pagbwaya passengers
16:36were safely returned to their home port in Bataan
16:40despite being hit by a ship
16:43by the China Coast Guard yesterday.
16:46Raffy Pima was live on the scene.
16:49Raffy?
16:53The BRP Datu Pagbwaya
16:55reached its home port in Orion, Bataan
16:57at around 5 p.m. yesterday.
16:59One day after experiencing harassment,
17:01the ship of the China Coast Guard
17:03and the ship of Scarborough Shoal
17:05was still in high morale
17:07despite the harassment.
17:13The BRP Datu Pagbwaya of BIFAR
17:15was far from being undamaged.
17:17The ship was hijacked by the China Coast Guard
17:19near Scarborough Shoal.
17:20But nearby,
17:21the wreckage of a 30-meter multi-mission vessel
17:24and UPA railings
17:26on the starboard side
17:27or the right side of the ship
17:28can be seen.
17:29In one of the lifecrafts,
17:30there was a crack and it was damaged.
17:32The navigation light of the ship was deformed.
17:34The fire hose box was damaged
17:36and there was air conditioning
17:37on the back of the ship.
17:39Three CCTVs were also damaged
17:41and the small water cannon of the ship
17:43had a deformation.
17:45In this video,
17:46you can see how small the ship of BIFAR is
17:48compared to the wreckage
17:50of the China Coast Guard ship.
17:52According to the crew of the ship,
17:53the BRP Datu Pagbwaya turned around
17:55almost 40 degrees
17:58If the China Coast Guard continued
18:00its attack,
18:01they would not be far away.
18:04According to BIFAR,
18:05the BRP Datu Pagbwaya was ordered in 2020
18:08and it was commissioned only in 2022.
18:10That's why it's sad
18:11that many of these were damaged.
18:13There are new ships ordered by BIFAR
18:16as an addition to their floating assets
18:18and to rotate the ships patrolling
18:20in the ocean of the country.
18:22If BIFAR checks,
18:23these ships will be stronger
18:25and ready to patrol
18:27and face the ships of the China Coast Guard
18:29in the West Philippine Sea.
18:31Hopefully, by next year,
18:32our floating assets will increase.
18:34In terms of quality,
18:36we are also making sure
18:38that the quality of the materials
18:41or the ship itself
18:44is strong.
18:46Until now,
18:47we are using it more efficiently.
18:55A while ago,
18:56BRP Datu Sanday arrived
18:58with Pagbwaya
18:59to patrol in Scarborough Shoal.
19:01In the next few days,
19:02the other ships of BIFAR
19:04that were also harassed
19:05by the China Coast Guard
19:06near Palawan will also arrive.
19:08According to BIFAR,
19:09they will be ordered by the DFA
19:11if the Philippines asks for damages
19:12because of the damage
19:14of their ships
19:15due to the harassment
19:16of the China Coast Guard.
19:17That's the latest
19:18from Orion Bataan.
19:19Mel?
19:20Thank you very much,
19:21Rafi Tima.
19:24Only a few weeks to go
19:25and we will be able to see
19:26on the big screen
19:27the new offering of
19:28GMA Pictures and Entry
19:29to MMFF, Green Bones.
19:32But before that,
19:33who else will be with
19:34Naruro Madrid
19:35and Dennis Trillo
19:36in the movie?
19:37Let's get to know them
19:39in Chica ni Larson Chops.
19:46After a long wait
19:48and a beating heart
19:49of many
19:50at the 2023
19:51Metro Manila Film Festival
19:54Best Picture, Firefly,
19:56this Christmas,
19:57their creators
19:58have a new gift.
20:01This is Green Bones,
20:02the official entry
20:04of GMA Pictures
20:05in the 50th MMFF.
20:08Earlier,
20:09the media conference
20:10was led by the lead stars
20:12Dennis Trillo
20:14and Naruro Madrid.
20:16Other cast members
20:17were also introduced
20:19including Iza Calzado,
20:21Alessandra De Rossi,
20:22and Sofia Pablo.
20:24The award-winning director,
20:26Zig Dulay,
20:27was also present on stage.
20:30The screenplay was written
20:32by National Artist,
20:34Reiki Lee,
20:35and GMA Public Affairs Senior,
20:37AVP, Ansh Atchensa.
20:40The emotions
20:41of Dennis and Naruro
20:42were almost felt.
20:45They were also very inspired
20:47by their characters
20:49in Green Bones.
20:51Very excited
20:52because this is my first ever
20:55MMFF project.
20:57I also went through a process
20:59where I looked for
21:01a different scent
21:03or fragrance
21:04so that when I use that,
21:06I'm already in character.
21:08I also changed
21:09the way I speak,
