00:00The next drone strike hit two residential buildings in Kazan, Russia.
00:12In the Russian Defense Ministry, three waves of drone attacks hit the city.
00:17No one was injured and the windows were closed, but they were also opened temporarily.
00:23The Russian Foreign Ministry condemned the attack that they are blaming on Ukraine.
00:28Ukraine has nothing to do with this.
00:33Here is the latest news on the 24-hour weekend.
00:37Be careful, because in the middle of the Christmas rush, there is still a threat.
00:42In Divisoria, a businessman stole a cell phone in his own store.
00:47And Jumor Apresto was hit.
00:52Inside a store in Divisoria, Manila,
00:55a man in black entered the store and seemed to be looking for something to buy.
01:00But when the woman in blue left her seat,
01:03the man just grabbed the phone and stole the victim's cell phone.
01:10The woman in the video is the owner of the store.
01:13My boss is here.
01:15He was online.
01:16He was careful because his baby was crying.
01:19He forgot where he put the cell phone because he was really busy.
01:25Their problem now is how to access their accounts that they use to buy online.
01:31Don't trust anyone just because they think you're a buyer.
01:34Because it's different now.
01:36Especially now.
01:37Yes, especially now that it's Christmas.
01:38Maybe you need money.
01:40The owner is hoping that he can get his cell phone back because there is also an important document there.
01:47The first-time shopper in Divisoria, Fernando, was extra careful.
01:51He put his bag in front of him so that he won't be robbed.
01:55The bag is in front of you so that you'll be aware if you're being robbed or not.
02:03According to the Manila Police District,
02:05more than 3 million people have visited Divisoria since December 15.
02:11And because more people are buying here a few days before Christmas,
02:16they are asking more people to keep an eye on the area.
02:20For the GMA Integrated News, Jomer Apresto, 24 Hours.
02:26What is your wish this Christmas?
02:30When we were kids, there were things that we were asked to depict in our grown-up Christmas list.
02:38And that is what Vaughn Aquino is aiming for.
02:43When Marilyn was a kid, her Christmas wish was a new toy and clothes.
02:48Now, she wants her mother to be able to return to Palawan
02:52because of her illness that has not been cured for 10 years.
02:56But life is hard. There is no massage.
02:59So I just prayed that my mother will come back.
03:03Others are also familiar with the center's wish.
03:06Good health, especially for me, for my family.
03:10And we are complete together.
03:14Good health to all of us.
03:16My siblings, my mother, and my father are sick.
03:18Just a complete family.
03:20And I hope their health is okay.
03:23According to a psychiatrist,
03:25usually, when a person reaches the 40s or 60s,
03:29the grown-up Christmas list becomes simpler.
03:33It's not more of the financial capacity,
03:36but it's more on how you are able to touch lives and make the lives of your family better.
03:43But at a young age,
03:45this vendor of food at Plaza Miranda
03:48is selling to add to her grandmother's medicine.
03:52The deeper vision and wish for Christmas is also clear to the eye.
03:56I hope my grandmother will come back so we can be happy again.
04:01Be happy on Christmas.
04:04Yes.
04:05She is the one who buys milk for us.
04:11She is also the one who buys our food.
04:16While there are others who wish for the well-being of their loved ones.
04:20I don't want to see the old people with glasses in front of them.
04:28I don't want to see them.
04:31I want them to have a permanent place where they can live.
04:37Whatever the wish for Christmas,
04:39the important thing is to live up to the teachings of the Center of Christianity,
04:44which is Jesus Christ,
04:45to give, to love, and to be together.
04:49The material things, I can buy them.
04:52But my family, my companions in life,
04:55you will really feel different especially on Christmas.
04:58For GMA Integrated News,
05:00Von Aquino reporting for 24 Hours.
05:04Jesus Christ is the Center and Diwa of Christmas.
05:08And if you can talk to Jesus,
05:10what will you say to Him?
05:13The answer of some of us,
05:15let's find out in Sandra Aguinaldo's interview.
05:20It is typical that on Christmas in Pinoy,
05:22you will be left out of the party.
05:24You will be separated.
05:26But for some,
05:27the true Diwa of celebration is Jesus Christ.
05:31The most important thing for me is the birth of Jesus Christ.
05:36In the Archdiocese and Shrine of Santo Nino in Tondo, Manila,
05:40many people celebrate Christmas.
05:43It is a sign of the importance of the Pinoy in Christmas.
05:47When Christmas comes,
05:50or even December,
05:52this is the time when there are many people celebrating Christmas.
05:54In the whole Church,
05:55in the whole Archdiocese of Manila,
05:57Tondo is the breaker holder of the most banyag.
06:02There are those who pray to be thanked.
06:05All I can say is thank you
06:07because He becomes a provider to us every day.
06:10Thank you for inspiring us not to give up on our efforts.
06:15There are also those who pray to be healed.
06:19I hope that Christmas will be joyful
06:22and that people will be joyful on Christmas.
06:26Some say that if they can talk to Jesus,
06:29they have a few things they want to say and ask.
06:34How can He endure and love us people?
06:39I feel that it is very difficult to love people like us
06:44despite our daily sins.
06:48When will He come?
06:50For me, I am not afraid of that.
06:54I would like to ask for advice on how I can be a better person.
06:59I would like to thank the Lord.
07:01Secondly, I would like to ask,
07:04what is your Christmas gift for me?
07:06In other words, as Fr. Judy Banez said,
07:09the continuous love of Jesus is important,
07:12whether you are happy or have a problem.
07:16It is very difficult to live.
07:20But we should always remember
07:24that God will not give us heavy problems
07:29if we cannot solve them.
07:32For these kids, it is not difficult because
07:38He listens and He doesn't judge.
