00:00State of the Nation
00:30Over-excited?
00:34Maybe she's already excited.
00:42When we arrived at Soekarno-Hatta International Airport,
00:46Mary Jane thanked President Bongbong Marcos and Indonesian President Prabowo Sobyanto.
00:52She couldn't help but be emotional while talking on the phone with her parents and children.
00:58Mary Jane also told her family that she was in Soekarno-Hatta earlier.
01:03Her family said that they will wait for Mary Jane.
01:07Our authorities also said that she is now with the doctor of our Bureau of Corrections.
01:12Mary Jane will board a commercial flight.
01:15While facing the press conference of Mary Jane in Indonesia,
01:19her family is watching her from the office of a group of migrants.
01:29Thank you very much to all of you.
01:34What would you like to say to the President of Indonesia?
01:37Thank you very much, Mr. President.
01:42To President Marcos, please.
01:44President Marcos, President Marcos, President Marcos.
01:52Mary Jane Veloso is being directed and quarantined at the Correctional Institute for Women.
01:57When she arrived here in the Philippines, her family,
02:01on the eve of her return, asked to hug Mary Jane even for a moment.
02:06Joseph Moro has the report.
02:13Following Mary Jane Veloso from Yogyakarta to Jakarta,
02:17she was transferred to the Women's Correctional Facility in Kabiseran, Indonesia.
02:21There, she talked to the GMA Integrated News, her lawyers and members of the NGO
02:26that helped her since she was imprisoned in Indonesia in 2010.
02:29It is very happy for me, myself and for our organization,
02:33because it's 10 years already with her.
02:37It's really touching me.
02:41Because every year, I visit her in Yogyakarta.
02:46This evening, Mary Jane waited at the Jakarta airport.
02:49According to the Bureau of Corrections, this morning.
02:52Mary Jane's parents are eager to see her again.
02:55I can't sleep anymore, I can't eat anymore.
02:58We hugged her, kissed her and especially the two children.
03:03According to the Bureau of Customs, when Mary Jane arrived,
03:06she will be quarantined for five days at the Correctional Institution for Women.
03:10Her lawyer appealed to the Justice Department to let her see her family and hug them even for a moment.
03:16Especially in the situation of Mary Jane,
03:18she hasn't been seen in the Philippines for almost 15 years.
03:23If they see her, they will tell her that it's only for a moment,
03:27and that it's only occasional for those 15 years.
03:31So that's important.
03:33Mary Jane's parents are thankful for the government's support.
03:36They were able to celebrate Christmas together.
03:38But they have one more request.
03:40I hope that when 2024 comes, our President will immediately give a clemency
03:44so that she can go home.
03:46There's nothing yet to be said about Executive Secretary Lucas Bersamin.
03:50President Bongbong Marcos said that it's a priority for him to let Mary Jane go home.
03:56Joseph Morong reported for GMA Integrated News.
04:00In other news, PhilHealth approved their future fund next year
04:05in the middle of removing their fund from the 2025 national budget.
04:10Congressmen asked how the agency spent their fund.
04:15Jonathan Andar has a report.
04:19In the proposed 2025 national budget,
04:21they did not remove the fund for PhilHealth.
04:23President Marcos himself is in favor of this.
04:26However, their reserve fund was left in the bank,
04:29which is more than half a billion pesos.
04:31Even the health department said that PhilHealth has a lot of money.
04:35But where does PhilHealth bring the subsidy to them?
04:38We include two things.
04:42Benefit payment for our benefits.
04:45If we cannot use it, Mr. Chair,
04:48of course, we have also a collection from the direct contributors.
04:51We include this in our investment.
04:54The House Committee on Good Government and Public Accountability continued,
04:58why does it seem that the fund is being invested first instead of helping the members?
05:02You don't know how to run a health insurance program.
05:07That is our problem.
05:09And that is the reason why you have a zero subsidy.
05:13I'm sorry.
05:14The point of Antipolar Representative Romeo Acop,
05:16within a year, PhilHealth earned almost 10 billion pesos
05:21from the entire interest of their investments.
05:24What I see is that you are already a business.
05:27The money of PhilHealth should be used to increase the package
05:31or to decrease the contribution.
05:34We have already begun to change our policy.
05:37So yes, it is showing that our investments are increasing,
05:41but again, I'm humbly asking this honorable committee
05:46to give us just a little more patience.
05:48PhilHealth said that they don't have the power to decrease the contribution of their members,
05:53but they promised that they will recommend this to the Congress.
05:57They are also aggressive in expanding the benefits,
06:01like the 30% increase of some benefits packages.
06:04Next year, it will be 50%.
06:07Now, they have a total of 150 billion pesos surplus or extra,
06:13281 billion pesos reserve,
06:16and 489 billion pesos investment fund.
06:20For the next year, PhilHealth Board approved their 2025 Corporate Operating Budget
06:25which is 284 billion pesos.
06:28271 billion pesos is for the beneficiaries.
06:31The budget is the fifth in the zero subsidy in the 2025 national budget.
06:36Jonathan Andal reporting for JMA Integrated News.
06:40We are here.
06:41One, two.
06:42One, two.
06:43The house that was helped to escape after being discovered by the online scammer of Dayuhang Amo
06:58was found in the house of an exclusive subdivision in Paranaque.
07:03When I suddenly climbed up there, I saw that their job is like that.
07:07When I found out that I was not allowed to go up,
07:10I was not allowed to go out because I might tell a story outside.
07:14I was not allowed to clean the third floor.
07:16I was scared.
07:17Seven Chinese nationals were arrested.
07:20Computers with scripts for online scams were discovered.
07:26Some Filipinos were the victims.
07:29They came from a big POGO organization.
07:34Because our president stopped POGO,
07:40they divided into smaller groups and continued their scams.
07:47The biggest POGO hub in the Philippines, located in Cavite, was closed.
07:53The closure of POGO is in accordance with President Bongbong Marcos' order.
07:58Pagcor said that POGO is no longer in the country
08:01but the PNP is watching over the successful small-scale POGO.
08:08The creation of the local source code of voting machines for the election of 2025

12:29According to the police, they pretended to want to adopt a baby
12:33after the suspect abducted her own child online.
12:37The child was 13 days old.
12:39We were undercover police.
12:43That was our way to entrap the seller.
12:49Due to the sudden sale of the child,
12:51the suspect was faced with violation of RA 7610,
12:55or Child Abuse Law and Human Trafficking.
12:57According to the PNP, those who want to have their child abducted...
13:00Actually, we are discouraging them to end up in illegal adoption
13:07because according to the DSWD,
13:09the process to adopt a child is already a bit hard.

13:46Can you achieve your travel goals this 2024?
13:50Climbing a mountain and snorkeling in Combo Adventure in Zambales,
13:54in the report of Rafi Tima.
14:02Now that the year is ending, why not reach for the skies?
14:06Include in your travel goals the mountains that can be found in Cabanggan, Zambales.
14:11Mount Mariglum
14:16At an altitude of 573 meters above sea level,
14:19it will take 2 to 3 hours to reach the tuk-tuk or summit.
14:23One of the unique features of Mount Mariglum is its open trail.
14:27Due to the limited darkness,
14:29the sun is strong even though it is important to start early
14:32in order to avoid the intense sunlight on the trail.
14:35Therefore, it is better to start early.
14:38In order to avoid the intense sunlight on the trail,
14:41you will definitely feel tired when you reach the summit.
14:45You will be greeted by a panoramic view of Zambales.
14:49But the tuk-tuk of Mariglum is just the beginning of the adventure.
14:55Because the campsite is located below,
14:57there are 3 rivers that can be crossed in exchange for your tiredness and sweat.
15:04You can also swim to cool down.
15:07Aside from the clear water,
15:08you will feel the unique coolness that gives you energy after a long climb.
15:17Combo adventure at its peak!
