00:00There are 21 new cardinals in the Catholic Church.
00:05They were formally inaugurated by Pope Francis in St. Peter's Basilica.
00:09Among the new cardinals are Bishop Pablo Virgilio Davi.
00:15In the court of cardinals or College of Cardinals of the Church,
00:19it is traditional to choose the next Holy Father.
00:23In the ceremony, it is noteworthy that the Holy Father has a big cross at the bottom.
00:27According to the Vatican, the Holy Father fell and hit the bedside table.
00:33Thank you to all the friends, acquaintances, and fellow Filipinos who joined me in this journey.
00:42Thank you very much. I look forward to seeing you again.
00:45I'm looking forward to my return home in the Philippines and in the Philippines.
00:51It's not just the happiness of the people this Christmas,
00:55but also the traffic and the difficulty in riding.
00:58The commuters are in a hurry.
01:00And from Quezon City, we are joined by Jamie Santos.
01:05Jamie?
01:09Pia, the Christmas season is really in full swing because of the left and right parties
01:14and the lighting of the Christmas tree.
01:16But aside from that, the Christmas rush is also in full swing because of the traffic.
01:24It's 1.30 p.m. when we started our journey in EDSA.
01:28When it comes to Cubao, there is already a build-up,
01:31especially when it comes to U-turn slots towards the malls located along EDSA.
01:36First, the MMDA said that the traffic load is expected this December.
01:41And they expect 500,000 vehicles to pass through EDSA,
01:46which is higher than the daily average of 421,000.
01:51Although some commuters understand that many will go to malls and parties,
01:55they can't avoid the stress of traffic.
01:58It's hard to book and get a taxi sometimes.
02:01It's really hard, especially rush hour.
02:04It's hard to book because everyone is busy.
02:08According to the taxi drivers we talked to, they don't choose passengers.
02:13Sometimes, they have to refuse to travel because of the heavy traffic.
02:18In such a tight traffic, you won't earn anything for two hours.
02:22The gas price is high.
02:23But the LTFRB repeatedly reminded that passengers are not allowed to refuse.
02:29According to the LTO, they will spread personnel who will guard the roads during the holiday rush,
02:35especially to the truck crowds when the truck-van leaves.
02:43Pia, we saw MMDA personnel deployed this week.
02:48Some of them were placed in malls to avoid the build-up of traffic.
02:54And that's the latest. Back to you, Pia.
02:57Thank you very much, Jamie Santos.
03:00To the unfortunate deaths,
03:03the trucks that are said to have lost their brakes are involved.
03:07Those who are working hard to make these accidents happen,
03:12let's find out from Joseph Moro.
03:18Anthony Erinco's family can't accept the death of his car in Karambola on Wednesday in Quezon City.
03:25Anthony is the eldest of two siblings.
03:27He is a motorcycle delivery rider who is expected by his family.
03:31There are four of us now. Now, there are only three of us.
03:34For me, it's painful.
03:37But there's nothing I can do.
03:40But I have to answer for what I did.
03:43Anthony was still able to call his brother,
03:46so his family thought that he was only involved in a simple accident.
03:50He was immediately taken to the hospital.
03:52I immediately saw my brother outside the ER.
03:55He was not with anyone.
03:56No one was looking at him.
03:58There was a nurse and a doctor there.
03:59He looked different.
04:00I was very surprised because in the video call, he was still fine.
04:03Then when we got closer,
04:05they just let him in the ER.
04:07When they saw him, they thought that he might have a relative.
04:10Anthony was one of four who died when the truck he was driving lost its brakes.
04:14Richard was the one who crashed and crashed the cars in the Aurora flyover.
04:1935 people were injured, including an 8-year-old boy.
04:24Yesterday, the Quezon City Traffic Enforcement Unit, Sector 3,
04:28filed a complaint of reckless imprudence resulting in multiple damages to properties,
04:32multiple physical injuries, and multiple homicide against the driver.
04:36I am asking for a dispense for the casualties
04:39because I don't want that to happen again.
04:44It was an accident.
04:45There was a car.
04:47When I hit the brakes, it was gone.
04:50The brakes were gone.
04:51But the victims are looking for the owner of the truck
04:54who did not show up at the inquest yesterday.
04:57I hope they can help.
05:00They have lost a lot of lives.
05:03The Land Transportation Office, or LTO, issued a show-cause order
05:06for the driver and the owner of the truck for clarification.
05:10Last night, a wing van that was also damaged
05:13by another vehicle on the Skyway Atgrade in Paranaque.
05:17One died and five were injured.
05:19The driver of the truck also said that he did not have a brake.
05:23According to the MMDA, which was covered by GMA Integrated News Research,
05:27of the more than 55,000 vehicular accidents this year until this September,
05:31four were caused by a broken brake.
05:35The MMDA will now call the haulers and truckers
05:39for the next accidents that they were involved in.
05:42We remind the members to maintain their vehicles in good condition
05:51and we will consider the drivers when driving.
05:55The LTO also ordered enforcers to conduct surprise inspections
06:00to ensure the safety of the truck and bus passengers, especially during the holiday rush.
06:06For GMA Integrated News, Joseph Morong, 24 Hours.
06:14The rebels in Syria rebelled after they captured and controlled Damascus.
06:20It was announced by a group on state TV,
06:23as well as their successful assassination of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad
06:28for more than two decades.
06:31According to Reuters, Assad fled Syria
06:34and it is not yet known where he is.
06:37But the Syrian army said that their operation is still ongoing against their terrorists.
06:42Our Department of Foreign Affairs is aware of the situation
06:45and avoids chaos among our countrymen.
06:49According to the DFA, 1,126 Filipinos are in Syria as of June 2023.
06:58To direct the impeachment against Vice President Sara Duterte,
07:03the signature campaign of Makabayan Blak was launched.
07:06Jonathan Andal was on the scene.
07:10The House Committee on Good Government and Public Accountability
07:15will not call Vice President Sara Duterte
07:17because they will end their hearings tomorrow
07:20on the confidential funds of the Vice President.
07:22There is an impeachment complaint against her
07:25that one of the reasons is confidential funds.
07:28If the impeachment is successful,
07:29the Committee on Justice will conduct the hearings.
07:49Because the military is also investigating,
07:51the Committee will not investigate Colonel Raymond Dantel Atchika
07:55and Colonel Dennis Nolasco,
07:57security officers of the Vice President
07:59who were given millions of pesos in confidential funds.
08:13At the end of the hearings,
08:14the Chairman of the Committee believes
08:16that Vice President Duterte did something wrong with the funds.
08:22It should have started long time ago.
08:24All of them have not changed.
08:26Why do they need to be condemned?
08:29In the last information,
08:30the Secretary General's office has the impeachment complaint
08:33against Vice President Duterte.
08:34This will be passed to the office of the House Speaker
08:36to be brought to the plenary and passed to the Justice Committee
08:39to be heard.
08:40But the Justice Committee Vice Chairman Representative Keith Flores
08:44believes that they are running out of time
08:46if the impeachment will continue
08:47because the 19th Congress will be held until June.
08:50That's why the Signature Campaign was launched.
08:53The countrymen blocked
08:54that the Congressmen will not be able to get 106 votes
08:59to direct the impeachment to the Senate
09:01and it did not go through a long process in the House.
09:04I don't know that the campaign is to secure the signatures.
09:08In Cebu City,
09:09the supporters of Vice President Duterte gathered in Plaza Independencia
09:13about the impeachment.
09:15For GMA Integrated News,
09:17I'm Jonathan Andal.
09:18Stay tuned for 24 Hours.
09:24It's emotional that Heart Evangelista
09:26shared the latest episode of Heart World
09:28the experience of her first miscarriage.
09:32It was very traumatizing for me.
09:34After that,
09:35I didn't want to have a baby for a long time.
09:38It was also a long time before she recovered
09:41and she found out that she couldn't get pregnant.
09:44Senator Cheese tried again
09:46but after a week,
09:47she couldn't get pregnant.
09:49On the other hand,
09:50Heart is grateful to her stepkids,
09:52Chessie and Kino.
09:58It's been 17 days since Christmas.
10:00Do you have a gift, Ivan?
10:03It's so hard.
10:04This is what some people are discarding.
10:06Christmas White Elephant.
10:07Or give gifts to others
10:09to those who didn't use it or didn't receive a gift.
10:12That's what Dano Tingcunco is talking about.
10:16If Christmas is a day of giving,
10:19can you receive a gift
10:21that is considered a White Elephant?
10:23It's okay for me.
10:25I appreciate it anyway.
10:27White Elephant is called a gift
10:29that has no benefit to the owner
10:31or even in giving.
10:33It's usually expensive or hard to maintain.
10:36It's based on the literal meaning of White Elephant
10:38or White Elephant
10:40that is usually taken care of
10:41but has no benefit to the owner.
10:43So, are you a G?
10:45I can take that.
10:47I'll just keep it.
10:49What if we go back?
10:51Did you recycle a gift?
10:53I did this to my mom and dad.
10:55Someone gave me a gift once.
10:57It's like a baby boy.
11:00When I was 13 years old,
11:02they thought I was still a baby.
11:04I gave it to my mom and dad first.
11:06My grandmothers gave it to me.
11:08It's a gift from my mother.
11:10Maybe it's from your mother's heart.
11:12No.
11:14Instead of throwing it away,
11:16we just gave it to her.
11:18According to psychiatrist Dr. Bernadette Arsena,
11:20it's okay to recycle a gift
11:22because
11:24it's the thought that counts
11:26and that you are part of those people
11:28who remember
11:30and give something as a gift.
11:32A gift is actually
11:34an extension of yourself.
11:36There's no right or wrong way
11:38to give a gift.
11:40But to appreciate Christmas more,
11:42this Christmas,
11:44make sure you give a gift.
11:46For GMA Integrated News,
11:48I'm Dana Tingcun,
11:50for Tutok 24 Hours.
