00:00 Yesterday, a police officer was arrested after he was asked to shoot a restaurant bar in Quezon City.
00:08 The arrested police officer is still active in the service even though he was fired from his job.
00:13 He was called a hit and run.
00:16 Sandra Ginaldo was shot.
00:18 Police officers stopped the car that their new police lieutenant colonel Mark Julio Abong was driving.
00:29 He was trying to get out of the car even though there was no clearance
00:32 after he was arrested in a restaurant bar in Quezon City.
00:35 Allegedly, the waiter was being valued by a PNP member.
00:39 And there was a reason for the loss.
00:46 The police officer got out and was suddenly fired twice.
00:51 Abong was shot.
00:54 This is not the first time that Abong was arrested.
00:57 He was the chief of the QCPD Criminal Investigation and Detection Unit.
01:01 But he was fired after he was caught in a hit and run that was committed by a tricycle driver in August 2022.
01:09 He was found guilty by the People's Law Enforcement Board or PLEB for the incident.
01:15 That's why he was dismissed from the service.
01:17 But based on the initial investigation by the QCPD,
01:21 Abong is still an active member of the PNP in the Legal Service Department in the PNP National Headquarters.
01:28 According to the QCPD-CDU, they are related to Abong's mother unit and are related to his status.
01:34 We also asked for permission from the PNP but they have not yet agreed.
01:39 We tried to get Abong's file but we were not allowed to meet his partner.
01:45 For GMA Integrated News, Sandra Aguinaldo, Tutok, 24 Hours.
01:51 DILG Secretary Benjur Abalos is investigating the PLEB for being active in the legal service
01:58 where Lieutenant Colonel Mark Julio Abong was arrested.
02:01 And if he was a member of the PLEB.
02:03 A judge recommended that the sale of eggs should be per kilo.
02:09 The early party list representative and chairman of the Group of Egg Council of the Philippines, Nicanor Briones,
02:15 has a standard gram to determine the size and price of the eggs.
02:20 So it's better to weigh the eggs with the families so that the price of the eggs will be more reasonable.
02:27 The recommendation is that the Department of Agriculture should allow the sale of eggs
02:33 because there is no way to know the size and price of the eggs.
02:40 The DFA has confirmed that the Filipino PIN will celebrate Christmas in the Philippines
02:46 and that it was the birthplace of Hamas, Jimmy Pacheco.
02:48 He also promised Israel that he will receive a long-term benefit.
02:53 Sandra Aguinaldo is in the loop.
02:57 After being released from the hands of Hamas in Gaza City, Israeli Foreign Minister Eli Cohen brought the OFW,
03:04 Guillenor Jimmy Pacheco, to the hospital where he was being checked up.
03:10 According to Philippine Ambassador Pedro Lailo Jr.,
03:13 Cohen said that it was a happy day for the Philippines and Israel for Pacheco to be released
03:19 and to receive a long-term benefit from Israel.
03:23 Lailo thanked Israel.
03:26 According to the Israeli Embassy in the Philippines,
03:29 Pacheco was welcomed by his family when he was taking care of a senior citizen who was killed by Hamas.
03:35 In the pictures, Pacheco was smiling, which is a big compliment compared to his pictures before he was hostage.
03:43 He had emotional trauma.
03:45 Wherever they were hidden, underground or what, they will not remember.
03:50 I don't know where they were. It was dark, they were taken care of.
03:56 Maybe in time, he will open up more.
04:01 OWWA said that they will try to bring Pacheco back to the Philippines next week.
04:07 The good news is that according to the DFA, he will be able to celebrate Christmas in the Philippines.
04:12 Now, we will arrange for them to come back to Manila to visit his wife.
04:20 We will also arrange for the repatriation.
04:23 Like Pacheco, his father held a tight hug to his 11-year-old daughter,
04:30 who was one of the 13 Israelis released by the Hamas group on the second day of the four-day ceasefire of the two sides.
04:38 The four Thai nationals, who were also released, held a tight hug for exactly 50 days in October.
04:46 The DFA also assured that the relationship between Israel and other friendly countries will continue
04:51 for another Filipino who was accused by Malacanang as Nora Lynn Babadilla.
04:57 For GMA Integrated News, Sandra Aguinaldo, KTL 24 Hours.
05:03 Merry Christmas to all of you. Merry Christmas.
05:08 Christmas is early in Palacio.
05:11 Earlier, the Malacanang Freedom Grounds became a big playground for almost 2,000 youths.
05:18 Most of them are now adults, but some of them are with their parents.
05:22 I am very happy here.
05:24 As a parent, I am really happy for my child.
05:27 President Bongbong Marcos and First Lady Lizaraneta Marcos were playing.
05:32 They were also given food and gifts.
05:35 We all know that Christmas is really about the children.
05:40 This is the second year of the Nationwide Gift Giving Day of the Marcos Administration.
05:45 17,000 children from different regions of the country are included here.

06:04 The fields are now Christmas-like in Laguna.
06:11 To feel the Christmas spirit,
06:13 the lights of the giant Christmas tree are being lit in an amusement park in Santa Rosa.
06:19 And that's what Katrina Song is talking about live.
06:22 Katrina!
06:27 PIA is now lighting a Christmas giant Christmas tree in an amusement park here in Laguna.
06:35 They are also lighting their Christmas tree to mark the start of Christmas.
06:41 This is the giant Christmas tree that will be lit in an amusement park in Santa Rosa, Laguna tonight.
06:48 The tree is 22 feet high and was made by the famous lantern maker of Pampanga, Eric Bondoc Kiwa.
06:55 We wanted to really build this lantern to really make sure that we can extend that magic of Enchanted Kingdom
07:02 and create a very traditional Filipino experience of the holiday season.
07:09 The lights of the lanterns are also accompanied by the sound of the Christmas carols.
07:13 That's why it's so powerful and beautiful.
07:18 After the giant Christmas tree lighting, there will be a parade where the theme park characters will dance.
07:25 The fireworks display is also waiting to end the program.
07:29 Pia, any minute now, the giant Christmas tree behind me will be lit.
07:39 That's why everyone here is excited and waiting. Pia?
07:46 Thank you so much, Katrina Son.
07:48 The rain didn't stop the support of Miss Universe Top 10 finalist, Michelle Marquez D.
07:58 She was so excited to return to the Philippines.
08:02 That's what Bon Aquino is talking about.
08:10 Miss Universe Top 10 finalist, Michelle Marquez D. was warmly welcomed by her fans
08:16 at Naya Terminal 1 last night with her mother, Miss International 1979 Melanie Marquez.
08:22 Michelle Marquez D.
08:25 Philippines!
08:28 Thank you so much.
08:30 Thank you so much. My heart is so full.
08:32 We can't show ourselves in this bar.
08:37 She won four special awards as the best national costume.
08:41 That's a testament to how prepared the Philippines was, to how much dedication, creativity and passion.
08:48 Michelle's close relationship with Miss Universe 2023 first runner-up, Antonia Porcild.
08:55 Both of us have created such good friendships. Of course, there are things that are still pending.
09:01 Even though she will be returning to the country, Michelle will be working hard.
09:05 I hope that Michelle will have a motorcade as a thank you.
