00:00Good morning, Atty. David. This is Maris and we are live at Unang Balita.
00:29Good morning, Ms. Maris and to all the listeners and viewers.
00:35Alright, first of all, how many passengers are traveling daily in Naia?
00:40We're averaging around 140,000 to 150,000 per day.
00:47Alright. When do we expect the peak number of passengers and how many? How many do you estimate?
00:55Well, we are forecasting by December 22, which is the appropriate time before Christmas, which would be around 156,000 passengers.
01:08By December 22, right? How is Naia preparing for this? Do you have additional personnel? Do you need additional manpower?
01:19Yes, ma'am. In fact, in coordination with NNIC, because the operations and maintenance have been turned over to the new Naia Infrastructure Corporation,
01:28in this regard, they instituted sufficient manpower, which would be accomplished by not allowing any leaves during the most important period,
01:44which is our peak season, suspension of infrowerks. And of course, the renovation works or rectification works for those machineries,
01:59I mean terminal works, they finished them yesterday.
02:05We don't see any other incidents like power interruption that happened in the past?
02:11None, ma'am. As you can see, NNIC just had a signing with Miralco. So, in this regard, they are really taking time and focusing on the essentials of the maintaining and operating the airport.
02:27And one of that is, of course, sufficient and reliable power.
02:31Do you have any reminders for passengers? Now, we are expecting a lot of passengers.
02:38Yes. It's very important that we always remind them, if possible, to arrive early at the airport. If it's a domestic flight, we expect a lot of passengers.
02:54So three hours before, if it's a domestic or international flight, at least four hours before your flight, you should be in the airport already.
03:03One of the important things is, if someone is sending a package to Suyo, you should receive it.
03:16All right. Thank you very much Atty. Manuel Jeffrey David, the head executive assistant of Manila International Airport Authority. Good morning to you. Happy Holidays.
03:26To those who are planning to travel back to their provinces this Christmas, they are already in a hurry because some bus terminals are already fully booked.
03:34Live from Quezon City, we have the first news, James Agustin. James?
03:40Van, good morning. We have passengers who are traveling back to their provinces to avoid the rush at the bus terminals, especially since Christmas is just a few days away.
03:54Many air-conditioned buses are already fully booked, but our passengers can ride ordinary buses.
04:02Many air-conditioned buses are already fully booked for their trip to Bicol from this terminal in Quezon City.
04:12For example, to Camarines Norte, which is already fully booked from today until December 30.
04:18Paligaspi buses are already full until tomorrow, December 29.
04:22There are already a lot of reservations because we opened our reservations on November 15.
04:28That's why there are already a lot of people who reserved.
04:30Those who don't have a reservation, they can ride first-come-first-served on ordinary buses only.
04:35It is expected that the trip will be longer because only one lane is used on the Andaya Highway in Camarines Sur, which is heavily flooded due to heavy rain.
04:44The traffic is slow there.
04:46It has a big effect, sir, because the trip takes a long time.
04:50Instead of making the trip faster, it's slower because there's a lot of traffic.
04:56Sir, there's a one-way and there's a road where there's no ground beneath.
05:03It's because of the heavy rain.
05:08Robert and his wife and children are early in the bus terminal.
05:11They will stay in Naga for Christmas.
05:14We're trying to avoid crowding because we're going to be chased this Christmas.
05:20So we're going to be together there, especially for Christmas.
05:24Are you excited for Christmas?
05:26Yes.
05:27Ms. Iden just arrived at the bus terminal from Camarines Norte.
05:31She resumed her vacation for a week.
05:33She said that she and her children celebrated Christmas first because she still has work here in Metro Manila.
05:39There were a lot of passengers on the trip.
05:45My daughter-in-law gave birth, so I went home.
05:49On this bus terminal, passengers are expecting heavy rain until the weekend.
05:54They added more trips to Bulacan and Nueva Ecija.
05:58The OFW Marifeca will arrive in the country on December 14 from Saudi Arabia.
06:03She will spend Christmas in Nueva Ecija with her entire family after three years.
06:09I'm very excited.
06:11Of course, I left my children.
06:15They're still small.
06:17Now, they're a bit big.
06:19I put them in traffic so that they can arrive in the country soon.
06:25Thank you, Ivan.
06:26On our tour of the bus terminals in Cubao this morning,
06:29there are still not a lot of passengers, but they're expecting heavy rain.
06:33From tomorrow afternoon, it will continue on the weekend until the eve of Christmas.
06:38That's the first news from Quezon City.
06:40I'm James Agustin for JEMAI Integrated News.
06:44From the bus terminals, how are the conditions?
06:47Passengers are expecting heavy rain this holiday season.
06:51Let's talk to Eunice Samonte, spokesperson of the Philippine Ports Authority.
06:55Eunice, good morning.
06:57Good morning, sir Ivan.
07:00Eunice, how is the heavy rain in different parts of the country,
07:05especially six days ago before Christmas?
07:09Yes, sir Ivan.
07:10Actually, we're expecting more rain this December compared to November.
07:16Because in November, we had a decline in the number of passengers
07:21because of the next typhoon in November.
07:25So, this December, we're expecting that our passengers will be able to return home
07:30because they weren't able to return home last year.
07:32And this December, our forecast is at 4.5 million nationwide.
07:38Have we seen the peak, Eunice?
07:40Or are you expecting it to peak again?
07:42We haven't seen it yet.
07:43But our monitoring is from December 15 to January 5.
07:49And the peak is on December 22.
07:54Okay. So, our peak is just around the corner.
07:57How are we preparing for this, Eunice?
07:59How are we preparing for a safe trip to the ports?
08:05I mean, the convenience ports.
08:08Yes, sir Ivan.
08:09Actually, before December, we already booked some of our terminals.
08:14Especially, the new improvements in our terminals.
08:18For example, the passenger terminals are now expanded.
08:22We're thinking up to 50.
08:24And here in Maldives, for example, those who will return to the Philippines this Friday,
08:31like for example, the additional X-ray machines and our new dams there.
08:37So, we're planning to open all of our passengers' access,
08:43like water and electricity phones, and charging phones.
08:48And the areas will be expanded.
08:51So, we're planning to open all of our areas.
08:54Water and electricity phones, and charging phones.
08:58And the areas will be expanded.
09:01Not just the children's areas.
09:03And today, Eunice, will our countrymen be able to book their flights?
09:09Today, our countrymen will be able to book their flights.
09:14And for example, this Friday, we're hoping that it will start.
09:20This Friday, we're hoping that it will start.
09:25This Friday, we're hoping that it will start.
09:28This Friday, we're hoping that it will start.
09:32This Friday, we're hoping that it will start.
09:38Will the new facilities in Manila North Port, Eunice, be used for those who will travel today?
09:44Yes, that's right.
09:45Our new facilities in Manila North Port will be used.
09:49Because usually, our passengers stay in the concourse area.
09:56Starting this week, they will be used in North Port.
10:01Those who will return to the province from Manila will use our new...
10:08Eunice?
10:09Yes, our priority facilities.
10:13In terms of North Port, we also have coffee areas and vending machines.
10:19It will be opened from the city lines that are waiting for the passengers.
10:27I hope that our countrymen will be able to book their flights.
10:32Thank you very much.
10:33We talked to Eunice Samonte, spokesperson of the Philippine Ports Authority.
10:38Six other cases were investigated by Sandigan Bayan,
10:41including Coco Levy Funds against former President Ferdinand Marcos Sr.,
10:45former First Lady Imelda Marcos, and others.
10:48The Anti-Graft Court ruled that this was due to an inordinate delay
10:53or lack of hearing against the right of the accused for a swift trial.
10:59From one more case, almost four decades have passed,
11:03and the prosecution has yet to release the evidence and witnesses.
11:07Marcos was accused of misusing Coco Levy Funds
11:12for the development of the coconut industry in the country.
11:16The Presidential Commission Good Government, or PCGG,
11:19refused to give a statement regarding the merits of the case
11:23or the sub judice rule,
11:25but they will pass a motion for reconsideration in Sandigan Bayan.
11:29If it cannot be passed, it will be brought to the Supreme Court.
11:36The House Squad Committee recommended the filing of the complaint
11:39of Crimes Against Humanity against former President Rodrigo Duterte,
11:43Senators Sinabong Go and Ronald Bato de la Rosa,
11:46former and current high-ranking officials of the PNP.
11:50This is related to the incidents of killing during the War on Drugs.
11:53Rafi Tima has the first news.
11:56The Squad Committee's progress thus far...
12:19The investigations brought to light
12:22a harrowing narrative of abuse of power
12:26and institutional impunity during the Duterte administration.
12:31Witness testimonies corroborated by evidence
12:36revealed a system that incentivized the killing
12:40of suspected drug personalities.
12:43In the case of the Drug War,
12:44the Squad Committee also found former PNP Chief Oscar Albayalde
12:49police colonels Ruina Garma and Edelberto Leonardo
12:52and former high-ranking official Herminia Mooking Espino.
12:56Some personalities were also charged
12:58with the possession of 360 kilos of shabu in Mexico Pampanga
13:03including Mayor Teddy Tumang and several Chinese nationals.
13:07This is also related to the killing of three Chinese nationals
13:11at Davao Penal Farm in 2016
13:13and Police General Wesley Barayuga.
13:16An additional investigation is needed
13:18for the personalities involved in the illegal drug operation
13:21including former Mayor Alice Guo
13:24and former presidential spokesperson Harry Roque.
13:40According to the investigation,
13:41a total of 30 articles of law were drafted
13:43to prevent such incidents from happening again
13:45including reparation or compensation
13:48to the victims of the EJK.
14:11The Squad Committee immediately adopted the plenary report.
14:14The report will be sent to the appropriate government agencies
14:17for the filing of the case.
14:20We are still trying to obtain the evidence of the former President Duterte
14:23and to investigate the possible case.
14:26This is the first news.
14:27Rafi Tima for GMA Integrated News.
14:32Senator Bong Go and Senator Bato de la Rosa
14:35responded to the recommendation of the House Squad Committee
14:37to file a complaint of Crimes Against Humanity
14:40known as the War on Drugs of the Duterte Administration.
14:43Mr. Goy will be brought to court
14:45in case they are convicted.
14:47At the same time, the Squad Committee
14:49because some people who were mentioned in the hearings
14:52are being called in
14:53even though they have no evidence against them.
14:55Ms. de la Rosa is ready to file a complaint.
14:58This is a weapon of destruction for the Dutertes
15:01and their allies.
15:03She has great trust in our courts
15:05and she will still ignore the justice.
15:10For a good night's sleep,
15:12buy an egg
15:13because the price will gradually increase
15:16as Christmas approaches.
15:18Let's talk about the prices in Marikina
15:20with the first live news of EJ Gomez.
15:22EJ.
15:27Ivan, during Christmas,
15:29Filipinos often eat breakfast
15:34such as leche flan,
15:36egg pie and yema cake.
15:38And ingredients such as eggs are needed.
15:42Let's see if there is a change in the prices
15:45this holiday season.
15:50At 5 am here in Marikina Public Market,
15:53an additional supply of eggs arrived
15:55at Tatay Jun's store.
15:57They say the supply is enough
15:58that they get from Pampanga, Batangas and Rizal.
16:01That's why the price now is a bit lower.
16:05But it's not lower compared to last year
16:08because it's still high.
16:10Maybe it's a bit lower
16:12because the demand,
16:14even though the demand is a bit higher,
16:17but the supply is a lot.
16:19That's why Tatay Dodo
16:20bought two trays of eggs
16:22that he will cook as a quick-quick
16:24and sell to his food cart.
16:26They can still increase.
16:28I hope it's always like that
16:32so that my price will be the same when I sell.
16:37According to the Philippine Egg Board,
16:39the price of eggs will gradually increase,
16:41especially since Christmas is just six days away.
16:43It's a time when many Filipinos
16:45are cooking potahe or food using eggs
16:48such as leche flan.
16:50But for now,
16:51the price of eggs is still a bit high,
16:53according to some vendors.
16:55It's not easy
16:56because people seem to be saving.
16:58It's very expensive.
16:59The price is high
17:00compared to meat, fish, and vegetables.
17:04The price is almost the same.
17:06Others are still like that.
17:08Instead of buying eggs,
17:10they just buy meat, fish, and vegetables.
17:13Here in Marikina Public Market,
17:15the smallest egg can be bought for P7 per piece
17:18while the jumbo is for P11.
17:21Each tray of eggs is sold from P210 to P285
17:27and the price of each egg depends on the class.
17:31Ivan,
17:32sellers here are advising the public
17:34to buy eggs
17:36that they need for Christmas,
17:38especially if they have a budget
17:40to avoid the expected high price
17:44for the next few days.
17:48And that's the first news
17:49from Marikina City.
17:51EJ Gomez for GMA Integrated News.
