00:00Let's all become a TAXI!
00:15The construction of the Biliran Bridge in Biliran Province in mainland Leyte is not yet common.
00:22In another video, you can see the arches going up and down.
00:27It is not yet clear why this is happening in Tulay.
00:31In DPWH, heavy equipment vehicles are not allowed to pass through Tulay due to the strong wind and traffic.
00:38Only light vehicles are allowed, such as passenger vans and SUVs.
00:43And for the buses, passengers have to get off first before they can pass.
00:48They advise the public to be careful while crossing one by one.
00:53And when will Christmas come again?
00:56It's raining again and landslides hit some parts of the country.
01:02In the newspaper, a patient in Lulan, Balsan, who was hit by a heavy rain, witnessed it.
01:14The landslide in Sitio Calawilaw, Dalag, and Cebu stopped yesterday.
01:18Trees and big rocks also fell on the side of the road.
01:22According to the Dalaget MDRRMO, aside from the landslide prone area,
01:26it is possible that landslides could have caused the next rains.
01:30The road was flooded again, but the engineering team continued to guard it.
01:36Eastern and Northern Samar also experienced heavy rains.
01:40Some houses were flooded.
01:42Based on the OCD-8 monitoring, Hipapad, Dolores, Maslog, Arteche, Taft, Canavid,
01:50and Borongan City experienced flooding in Eastern Samar.
01:53So did the towns of Katarman, Katubig, Mondragon, San Roque, and Bobon in Northern Samar.
02:06In Libakawaklan, a patient in Lulan, Balsang, was hit by a heavy rain.
02:11Residents hurried to rescue the patient and took him to the hospital.
02:16This truck fell when it gave cement for the next rains in Kalibo.
02:21Two people were injured. They were rushed to the hospital.
02:29In Puerto Princesa City in Palawan, a bakery, houses, and roads were flooded.
02:36Flooding in 8 barangays added to the garbage collection in the canals.
02:43There were landslides in some places.
02:45More than 500 families were evacuated to Lungsud and Pagasa Island.
02:49Some of them are staying in evacuation centers.
02:53There was also no sign of flooding in this area in Tacorong City, Sultan Kudarat.
02:59In Coronadal City, heavy rains caused strong winds.
03:03That's why the roof of two pop-up stalls was damaged.
03:06Some roads in Digo City, Davao del Sur were flooded.
03:09That's why some motorists were running slowly.
03:12Traffic was slow and many stranded due to flooding in the town of Bansalan.
03:17Northeastern Monsoon or Amihan is in effect in a large part of Luzon, according to the forecast.
03:22The Shirline or warm and cold winds in Southern Luzon and Visayas are also causing rain.
03:28In the rainfall map of Metro Weather, you can see that it will rain all over the Philippines tomorrow, Christmas Eve.
03:34There are yellow and red colors on the map, indicating that the rainfall is strong.
03:39It's possible that the rain will continue until Wednesday, Christmas Day.
03:43Amihan, Easterlies, and Shirline will still be affected by the rain like Metro Manila, Central and Southern Luzon, and Eastern Visayas.
03:50Easterlies will be affected in some parts of Mindanao.
03:54Prepare for the possibility of localized thunderstorms in other parts of the country.
03:58For GMI Integrated News, I am Rafi Quimang.
04:02Saksi!
04:04The purchase booklet of senior citizens was removed as a requirement to get a discount on the medicine they will buy.
04:11It is based on the administrative order issued by the Health Department.
04:15Before that, the printed booklet must be shown in pharmacies with a valid ID and doctor's prescription.
04:22Under the Expanded Senior Citizens Act of 2010, there is a 20% discount and senior citizens will be exempted from VAT if they buy medicine.
04:33Passengers heading to Bicol via PITX will have their own discount.
04:37Travel is still affected due to heavy traffic in Camarines Sur.
04:41Saksi Live! This is Niko Wahe.
04:45Niko?
04:47Pia, the buses from Bicol are still delayed.
04:51That's why some passengers heading to Bicol have already bought new tickets from other buses that will be able to travel tonight.
05:03This escalator in PITX is not broken.
05:06It was intentionally left unattended so that it can be used as a queue for passengers to Panay-Cavite.
05:11The long queue has already reached the second floor.
05:14It's annoying because the queue is so long now.
05:19I'm so stressed. The queue is so long. There are so many passengers.
05:24Mark, a student, was expecting a long queue especially since everyone is going home at the same time.
05:29It's even shorter.
05:31Because of his early trips, the queue reached the third floor.
05:35I expected that the queue will be longer on November 1.
05:41I was surprised that the queue is only until the second floor.
05:45It's not new to me anymore.
05:47According to the information desk of PITX, there are buses.
05:50It was intentionally left unattended so that passengers can go home at the same time to catch up on Christmas.
05:54In Bicol, some buses have already been delayed due to traffic in Camarines Sur.
05:59It's a bit slow because there's a lot of traffic in Riallope.
06:04The buses are really delayed.
06:06The schedule has been adjusted.
06:08Teresa, even though she booked online tickets for this evening's trip on November 1,
06:12she was not able to go home because there were no buses.
06:15Our trip was supposed to be on the 23rd.
06:17They adjusted it to the 24th because of the traffic.
06:19They only gave feedback yesterday.
06:21But we were about to go home.
06:23So we were not informed early.
06:26So the remedy was to buy a new ticket for the other buses that will travel tonight
06:31so that they can catch up on Noche Buena tomorrow.
06:33We will double-pay so that we can go home.
06:36Geraldine's family was lucky to get a walk-in ticket so that they can travel early tonight.
06:42We are still thankful because even though it's already the last two minutes, there are still buses.
06:46We thought it would be tomorrow or the day after tomorrow because there are already a lot of passengers.
06:52Bert is going to Mindoro.
06:54He will sleep here at PITX for his 5 p.m. trip tomorrow.
06:58He will pass through his agency tomorrow.
07:01It's okay. Just wait for us so that we can go home to our family.
07:08Two days before Christmas, there was still heavy traffic in some parts of Andaya Highway in Lupica, Marina Sur.
07:14A portion of the number of vehicles was reduced, but the traffic was still slow.
07:19Heavy traffic is starting in the areas that are controlled by the DPWH.
07:24There will be more vehicles going to Bicol.
07:30That's what we are monitoring.
07:32It's improving. It's light to moderate.
07:37From Bicol to Manila, it's also light to moderate.
07:47At this time, the number of people in PITX is increasing.
07:51The number of passengers in PAKAVITE is also decreasing.
07:55The long queue that we reported earlier is also decreasing.
07:58In terms of security, we saw some policemen circling PITX.
08:03There are also canine units circling to ensure the safety of the passengers.
08:10And live from Paranaque, for GMA Integrated News, I am Niko Aje, your witness.
08:17In Batangas Ports, the number of travellers returning to their provinces has reached its peak.
08:24The terminal was temporarily closed yesterday due to heavy traffic.
08:29From Batangas Ports to Xilat, this is Marisol Abdurrahman.
08:34Marisol?
08:38Pia, this is not the parking lot that we are seeing right now.
08:41If you can see, there are a lot of cars in a line.
08:45These are the people in a line to enter Batangas Port.
08:48Most of them are here at night.
08:50And earlier, there were people in a line early in the morning just to enter Batangas Port.
08:55In fact, Pia, some of the people we passed earlier were already sleeping in their cars.
09:01But others, like those who rode a motorcycle, are really sleeping on the side of the road.
09:07According to the security guards who are watching Pia, the number of cars in this line has reached 5.5 kilometers.
09:19The number of passengers in Batangas Port has increased since yesterday.
09:22Some of the passengers were in a state of panic after they were forced to enter.
09:26The terminal was temporarily closed due to heavy traffic.
09:29We were forced to get in.
09:31We put up a barrier so that the passengers who were in demand could get in.
09:38Today, there are still a lot of passengers entering the port.
09:42The line of cars is still long.
09:45Inside the terminal, there are already a lot of passengers waiting in line for the ticket.
09:50They were already sleepy and hungry here.
09:53I'm not sure yet what time the ticket will arrive.
09:57There are a lot of people in line.
09:59It's already full.
10:01Ma'am, we only see people here from 12 to 3.
10:07It's just now, ma'am.
10:09It's hard, ma'am.
10:11There are a lot of people.
10:13We can't get in because it's too slow.
10:15According to the leadership of Batangas Port,
10:18the ticket sales will continue so that the schedule of the trips will not be disturbed.
10:23If there are this many passengers,
10:25the boat will be short.
10:27Maybe there will be three long hauls.
10:32For this period, there will only be two.
10:34In Batang Ports in Sorsogon,
10:36outside the port, there are also a lot of cars passing through Samar.
10:40But what's slow is the difficulty of riding in Roro
10:43due to the strong waves of the shear line.
10:46In the midst of the large number of passengers,
10:48the Philippine Ports Authority suggests
10:50that the online ticketing system should be mandatory
10:53so that the trip will be fast
10:55and people will know what to expect every day.
10:59In Niaya, the record-breaking number of passengers arrived this Saturday.
11:03According to the MIAA,
11:05more than 160,000 passengers left and arrived on December 21.
11:10There are more domestic passengers.
11:13This is part of the decline yesterday.
11:15Manila to the provinces, this is the majority.
11:17The boat of passengers should have left already.
11:21But we are still waiting and trying to see if the 23rd,
11:26if there will be still movement.
11:29In Niaya Terminal 2 and 3 yesterday,
11:32there were also no passengers arriving.
11:34The Bureau of Immigration of People added
11:37to process the arrivals of passengers.
11:40In Iloilo International Airport,
11:42the runway was temporarily closed after a pothole was found in the runway.
11:46According to the Civil Aviation Authority of the Philippines,
11:49some flights were affected.
11:51Flight operations returned to normal after almost four hours.
12:00As of 8 p.m., almost 19,000 PIA arrived.
12:04The number of passengers who crossed from Batangas Port
12:08will go to their destinations.
12:10That's more if compared to 6 p.m. with more than 16,000 data.
12:15And the PPA is expected to add more PIA
12:18for our countrymen who are chasing for Chibuena.
12:21Live from Batangas Port for GMA Integrated News,
12:25I am Marisol Abdurrahman, your eyewitness.
12:30The public authorities are being careful
12:32with those who are going to celebrate Christmas.
12:35According to the Divisoria,
12:36where a customer pretended to be the owner of a cell phone
12:40in a store.
12:41And in Pasig, there was also a victim of a burglar.
12:44Our eyewitness, Jun Veneracion.
12:50Early in the morning of December 16,
12:52it seems that this man is wearing a different uniform in Pasig City.
12:56In the CCTV of a residential building in Barangay Santa Lucia,
13:00he can be seen walking in front of the house.
13:04In another angle,
13:05he can be seen slowly climbing up.
13:08When he reached the second floor,
13:10he turned around, brought his bag,
13:12and peeped into the rooms.
13:15Only the screen door of the room was locked.
13:20Later, he also went out of the room
13:22and it seems that someone was arranging his bag.
13:25And he went out to the place where he also climbed up.
13:28Early in the morning,
13:29the resident, I.S. Kevin, was surprised
13:32that his wallet was already in the hallway
13:34and it was empty.
13:44Aside from the contents of his wallet,
13:45he also took other things.
13:48In 2019,
13:49he also climbed into his room.
13:52That's why they installed the CCTV.
14:00One of the men in Divisoria, Manila,
14:02entered the store where he was looking for something to buy.
14:06But when the woman was away,
14:07the owner of the store was wearing blue.
14:09The man quickly stole the victim's cell phone.
14:12He was careful because his baby was crying.
14:15He forgot where he put the cell phone
14:17because he was really busy.
14:20According to the Manila Police District,
14:22more than 3 million people visited Divisoria
14:25More than 3 million people visited Divisoria since December 15.
14:30More than 1,200 MPD personnel
14:33to spread the message
14:35that we should be vigilant
14:36to the people around us
14:37and to the people we are looking for.
14:39The PNP was also involved in incidents
14:41like the robbery that happened during the holidays.
14:45Since December 15,
14:46the PNP has been on high alert
14:48even though there is no national security threat.
14:50At present, 37,000 policemen are deployed
14:54and if necessary,
14:55it is possible to increase the number
14:57so that you can be safe during Christmas and New Year.
15:01As part of our security deployment,
15:03we will deploy police officers
15:06to assist our barangay officials
15:08to guard the houses and establishments.
15:12The call of the PNP to the public is to be doubly vigilant.
15:15We will avoid the so-called at-the-moment calls
15:19because you have already announced to the public
15:22that you are not in your area.
15:24For GMI Integrated News,
15:26I am your Dune Veneration, Sak-C.
15:31The Christmas shoppers who are in a hurry
15:34to buy gifts and good night to the malls
15:36are still in traffic.
15:38Sak-C Live, EJ Gomez.
15:41EJ?
15:42EJ?
15:46Just a few hours before Christmas Eve this year,
15:50there are still a lot of shoppers
15:53who are doing last-minute Christmas shopping.
15:56Here in a mall in Quezon City,
15:58there are a lot of people going in and out of the mall.
16:02We talked to some of them
16:04and they said that they have set aside their time
16:07for the preparations they will do
16:10for Noche Buena tomorrow.
16:16Past 8 o'clock in the evening,
16:18there is still heavy traffic along EDSA
16:21on North Avenue.
16:23There are still a lot of people going to the mall
16:25for last-minute shopping.
16:26Some people bought clothes and shoes for Christmas.
16:29Some bought other gifts,
16:31like the family of Christina
16:33who is still traveling from Tondo, Manila.
16:35There are a lot of people inside the mall
16:38because this is the last time
16:40that children will buy for Christmas.
16:44We bought shoes, clothes,
16:49and our husband's clothes for Christmas.
16:51There are also a lot of things
16:53that they need to prepare for Noche Buena tomorrow,
16:56just like Kimber,
16:58who has been in the mall for a few hours
16:59to buy groceries.
17:00Mostly, the preparations for tomorrow,
17:03usually menu forks,
17:05kare-kare, salad,
17:07those are the usual things that we prepare.
17:09There are a lot of people,
17:10the line is very long.
17:12It's not like the normal time,
17:15the length of time for shopping,
17:18just like the usual days.
17:20Today, he went home.
17:22He said it's hard to book a car.
17:24Right now, we are waiting for a motorcycle.
17:28The waiting time is also long.
17:31No one is accessing.
17:36Tia and Kapuso,
17:39what you can see behind me
17:41is the traffic here in the length of EDSA,
17:44here in Maya North Avenue.
17:46If you go straight,
17:47it will go to Balintawak, Monumento,
17:50up to North Bullzone Expressway.
17:53Last night, Kapuso,
17:55the traffic of cars is heavy.
17:59For GMI Integrated News,
18:01EJ Gomez, your Saksi.
18:06An illegal fireworks warehouse in Bulacan
18:08was seen being sold online.
18:10The police have news about it.
18:12Saksi, CMU Sumangit.
18:18This is the warehouse in Santa Maria, Bulacan
18:20that was raided by PNP-CIDG.
18:23The contents are different types of fireworks
18:25that are prohibited from being sold in the market.
18:28He doesn't have a license or any permit
18:31from the government agencies concerned.
18:34So he can't show us any documents.
18:37Authorities raided this warehouse
18:39after the police were able to buy
18:41some illegal fireworks online
18:43that came from this warehouse.
18:46It's hidden in one place.
18:49There are many around it.
18:51The walls are very high.
18:53More than Php 200,000
18:55worth of illegal fireworks were found in the raid.
18:58It's strong.
18:59If it explodes, it's dangerous.
19:01Especially if it's aimed at a person or a house.
19:05Aside from the fireworks,
19:07there are other types of fireworks
19:09that are dangerous.
19:11What is this, Colonel?
19:13It's tuna.
19:14Tuna?
19:15Yes. It's called tuna.
19:17It's full of powder.
19:19It's strong. It really explodes.
19:21Especially this one.
19:23This is Goodbye Philippines, sir.
19:25It explodes.
19:26It means it's full of powder.
19:28Yes, sir. It's full.
19:29It's almost the size of a pinch.
19:31A pinch of water.
19:32It's big.
19:33How strong is it?
19:34It's dangerous.
19:35That's what we're talking about.
19:36Yes, sir.
19:37It's so big.
19:38The suspect who gave the panic
19:40was reminded by the police
19:41not to buy it online
19:42so that the quality is also good
19:44and not to be disgraced.
19:46We have stores
19:48in Maybukawe.
19:50There are many there.
19:51It's regulated.
19:52The sellers are licensed.
19:56They have permits and licenses
19:59from the government.
20:01Christmas and New Year are not yet here
20:03but the Department of Health
20:04has already reported
20:05some injuries because of the explosions.
20:07There are 17 already.
20:08As of December 23,
20:10the PNP has warned
20:11the sellers of illegal explosions
20:13in the stores.
20:14It's possible that the cancellation
20:17of their permits will result
20:19and, of course,
20:20the confiscation of their explosions.
20:23Our cyber patrolling
20:25and, of course,
20:26our random inspection
20:27in the physical stores
20:29that sell explosions
20:31should have PS marks.
20:33It means that it passed
20:34the quality check of DTI.
20:36For GMA Integrated News,
20:38I'm Emil Sumangil,
20:40your witness.
20:43Two hearts,
20:45just sleep,
20:46and it's Christmas.
20:48We're used to the dark
20:50and bright Christmas tree.
20:53Imagine the palm tree.
20:55Their old bamboo Christmas tree
20:58with no Christmas lights
21:00or any decorations.
21:02It's just made of holes
21:04and lighted with candles.
21:06Its symbol is deep
21:08because it's made of bamboo
21:10or bamboo only
21:12that was left in the town
21:13after the storm Yolanda
21:15in 2013.
21:17It's just a demonstration
21:18of their strength,
21:20the strength of bamboo.
21:29Two days left, Kapuso,
21:31and you can watch
21:32the official MMFF entry
21:34of GMA Pictures
21:35and GMA Public Affairs
21:37Green Bones.
21:38That's why one of its stars,
21:40Kapuso drama king Dennis Trillo,
21:43went to Cebu this weekend
21:45to promote the movie.
21:47There's an advance ticket selling
21:48where he sold it himself.
21:51For his guest earlier
21:53in Fast Talk with Boya Bunda,
21:55a game where an actor is split
21:57on how to pair up
21:59his characters
22:00as Colonel Yuta Saito
22:02in Pulang Araw
22:03and Domingo Zamora
22:05in Green Bones.
22:06It's easy for him to do this
22:08because he can switch off
22:10each character quickly.
22:12And when Dennis asked
22:13if he believed
22:14in the concept of Green Bones,
22:18I didn't really know
22:19the concept of Green Bones.
22:20This is what I learned.
22:21Whether it's true or not,
22:22it serves as a reminder
22:25to always choose
22:27to be a good person.
22:34I'm PR Kang Hel
22:35for a bigger mission
22:37and a wider service to the country.
