00:00That Dredger Vessel in Manila Bay was on fire earlier this afternoon.
00:08You can see the thick smoke on one side of it.
00:11According to the Philippine Coast Guard, it was burned by MB Hinds 31.
00:16Two PCG ships, BRP Sindangan and BRP Suluan, were immediately damaged.
00:22The fire was red until 4.30 p.m. this afternoon.
00:26There is no detail on the cause of the fire and if anyone was injured in the incident.
00:33Six days before Christmas, many passengers were asked to return home early to their provinces.
00:39Let's look at the situation in PITX with the live report of Vonn Aquino.
00:44Vonn.
00:46Later in PITX, passengers will return home to their provinces to celebrate Christmas.
01:03Alma Relyon was asked to return to Marines Sur early so that she won't have a hard time on the weekend when the passengers are expected to arrive.
01:12The OFW Richard from Taiwan will now travel to Quezon.
01:17As the number of passengers increases, the security inside the terminal will also be tightened.
01:21The luggage will be inspected and K-9 units will also be inspected.
01:25According to the PITX, until Monday, they are expected to pick up the passengers who will travel to the province for Christmas.
01:36So that the flow of passengers won't be tight when they return home.
01:43Atom, according to the PITX, as of 8 p.m., the foot traffic in the terminal has reached more than 160,000.
01:50As of now, the passengers are not yet fully booked. Atom?
01:55Thank you very much, Vonn Aquino.
01:58A reminder to the passengers of Roro-Pavisayas, pork products are prohibited in the provinces there as a precaution against African Swine Fever.
02:07As usual, the queue for check-in counters is getting longer.
02:13Chino Gaston has a report.
02:18Three new X-ray machines were installed in the North Port Passenger Terminal to speed up the inspection.
02:25Other facilities are also being repaired.
02:28The new centralized air conditioning system is also being finished.
02:32It will speed up the installation of baggage.
02:36Our baggage X-ray operators will be able to see if there are any prohibited baggage.
02:46Because it's expected to be more comfortable in the terminal, even if Jocelyn has time to wait, it's okay for her to go back to Bacolod City.
02:55We are early because sometimes there's traffic. It's better to be early.
02:59According to the Philippine Ports Authority, the number of passengers will reach 4.5 million from December 15 until the end of the Christmas season on January 3.
03:11The majority will be in Batangas Port, where Rore buses will pass to Visayas and Mindanao.
03:17We expect that the number of passengers will increase compared to November because the number of passengers will decrease.
03:27A reminder to Rororos, do not bring pork products because it is prohibited in the provinces of Visayas due to the concern of the African Swine Flu.
03:36In IA-3, there is heavy traffic of vehicles in the departure area of the terminal.

04:03Who's up to the news for GMA Integrated News?
04:07Some of the 20 kids who were involved in the ramble in Sampaloc, Manila came from the church last night.
04:14Jomer Apresto has a spot report.
04:21Those kids were seen running on CCTV in Lakson Avenue in Barangay 411, Sampaloc, Manila.
04:27Later, some of them threw Molotov cocktails and rocks.
04:31They ran and ran.
04:33The kids were like young brothers.
04:36The cars were not random.
04:39There were 20 involved in the riot.
04:41And some of them were still in the church last night before the ramble.
04:46The riot and gang war is our assessment on them.
04:50The kids, minor, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12.
04:53The others came from the church last night.
04:55And some cars were hit.
04:57The parents are saying that their children were taken to jail and they will not be paid for the damage done to the cars of our barangay.
05:08The Manila Police District immediately responded to the riot.
05:12We put our police there to guard.
05:15Some of the kids who were involved in the riot were turned over to the Manila Department of Social Welfare.
05:21The others were returned to their parents.
05:23Because the kids are minors, the MPD said, it is possible that their parents are facing a complaint.
05:29In Iloilo City, there were several rambles at the same time as the church last night.
05:34Two minors were repeatedly stabbed.
05:37Because of this, the deployment of guards at churches and plazas will be restricted by the authorities.
05:44Jomer Apresto reporting for GMA Integrated News.
05:53Aside from the misuse of confidential funds,
05:57the impeachment complaint filed against Vice President Sara Duterte was followed by the arrest of several deputy officials.
06:05Tina Panganiban-Perez reports.
06:10Comrades, lawyers, and members of the NGO are filing a complaint for the third impeachment complaint filed against Vice President Sara Duterte.
06:22They say that the reason why Vice President Duterte should be removed from office
06:28is because of their culpable violation of the Constitution and betrayal of public trust.
06:33Just like the first two impeachment complaints,
06:36this is due to Vice President Duterte's misuse of confidential funds.
06:41The disbursements were not properly done.
06:44The use of fictitious individuals.
06:48It was also mentioned in the third complaint filed by Vice President Duterte
06:52to several deputy officials who were accused of eavesdropping on the camera.
06:56This is due to the allegation that they received a large amount of money from Vice President Sara Duterte.
07:17It has now become their moral obligation to do so.
07:24We believe Vice President Sara Duterte committed something illegal and something immoral against the Filipino people.
07:32For us, thou shalt not kill, thou shalt not steal, thou shalt not bear false witness.
07:39The third impeachment complaint was endorsed by Rep. Gabriel Bordado of Camarines Sur 3rd District
07:47and by Ms. O.A. Partylist Rep. Lex Anthony Cris Colada.
07:52GMA Integrated News is still trying to get hold of Vice President Duterte.
07:58But he has repeatedly denied that there was nothing wrong with the use of confidential funds by the OVP.
08:04He has also previously denied the allegation of espionage.
08:08He also called a disgruntled employee of DepEd one of those who accused him.
08:15According to House Secretary General Reginald Velasco,
08:19he has not yet transmitted the first two impeachment complaints to the Office of the Speaker.
08:24And like the first two impeachment complaints,
08:27the third complaint will be reviewed by the legal department of the camera.

08:41The price of pork, fish, vegetables and other good night snacks skyrocketed the day before Christmas.
08:47The price of rice in some families skyrocketed.
08:53President Marcos denied the provisions in the 2025 national budget.
08:57That's why instead of passing it tomorrow, the President will review it first.
09:02The insertion was not included in the budget request.
09:09So what is that now?
09:12The President assured that the budget will be approved before the new year.
09:17Regulatory reset fees of private power utilities were collected,
09:22like Meralco, and the Energy Regulatory Commission will review it.
09:25The total refund that should be given is estimated at Php1.1 billion.

09:46Pandi Bulacan Mayor Enrico Roque and two other accused are being blamed for the rape and arrest warrant against them.
09:55They filed a motion in the Caloocan Regional Trial Court, which they are working on.
10:00The court has a biased policy.
10:03The accused were not given a chance to speak about the case against them.
10:09They are fighting for their rights.
10:11They asked the court to return the case to the prosecution for further investigation.
10:22There is a chance that the low-pressure area of former Baguio-Querubin will erupt again in the next 24 hours.

10:36It can also be crossed by Visayas and Mindanao tomorrow.
10:39It will be flooded by heavy rains.

12:39The oldest Ten Commandments tablet in New York was auctioned in America.
12:44It was bought for more than 5 million dollars or almost 300 million pesos.
12:49The 1,500-year-old marble tablet was discovered in 1913 in Israel.
12:55The Ten Commandments were engraved in the Paleo-Hebrew alphabet used by the Jews.
13:04New Year, New 50, 100, and 500 polymer bills can be held.
13:10Let's take a look at the design and find out where we can exchange it in Marie Zumal's report.
13:15Marie Zumal's report.
13:18Some people, when asked what they want to receive this Christmas,
13:22cash or money is the answer.
13:24That's why the Central Bank of the Philippines just saw new money.
13:29BSP recently presented to President Bombo Marcos the Polymer Bank Notes.
13:34This is what the new Polymer Bank Notes looks like.
13:37This is the money that we will see in circulation starting next week.
13:41Aside from the 1,000 pesos where the Philippine Eagle was found,
13:45the Siam Spotted Deer, Palawan Peacock Pheasant, was found in the 500-peso bill,
13:52for 100 pesos, and the Siam Leopard Cat for 50 pesos.
13:57The first Philippine Polymer Bank Note series is smarter, cleaner, and stronger.
14:05Smarter because they have advanced anti-counterfeiting features and a smaller carbon footprint.
14:13Cleaner because viruses and bacteria do not survive on polymer as long as they do on paper.
14:22And stronger because they last longer than their paper counterparts.
14:27It can be obtained from banks and used starting December 23,
14:30but it is limited to the Greater Manila area.
14:33Starting in January, it is expected to circulate throughout the country.
14:37But even if there is a change in money, old paper can still be used.
14:41But because it is stronger, Polymer Notes are said to be more practical.
14:45Polymer Bank Notes can last up to seven and a half years, five times longer.
14:49And that means that we no longer need to replace them as often,
14:53saving money, cutting down on waste, and making a meaningful contribution to protecting the environment.
14:59This can be used as a pet. It is not allowed to plant it. It is plastic.
