00:00The electric vehicle was parked outside the hotel when it suddenly exploded.
00:09It happened at the Trump International Hotel in Las Vegas, Nevada, in America.
00:14The driver, who was inside the vehicle at that time, was killed while there were seven wounds near the area.
00:20Based on the investigation, it is possible that the driver, who was a soldier of the U.S. Army, died
00:26before the explosion because the bullet hit his face.
00:31It is also possible that the vehicle was planted by a bomb that was rented in Colorado.
00:36The Federal Bureau of Investigation or FBI is still investigating if this is considered an act of terrorism.
00:44It is possible that there are four impeachment complaints that will be filed against Vice President Sara Duterte next week.
00:51According to the House Secretary General Reginald Velasco,
00:53several congressmen were asked to wait for the fourth complaint
00:57before he went to the office of the House Speaker the first three.
01:00The office of Velasco is still verifying the three impeachment complaints that were filed last December.
01:06The origin of the impeachment complaints is the violation of the confidential funds of the Office of the Vice President
01:12and the Department of Education where VP Duterte used to work.
01:16The GMI Integrated News is trying to get a new statement from the Vice President
01:21but he used to say that there is nothing wrong with spending on confidential funds
01:25and that he is ready to face the impeachment complaints.
01:32It's a beautiful day, right?
01:35Yes, it's beautiful.
01:36Together with Kapuso Siris, who were meant to be in 2017,
01:41Nobar B. Forteza and Jack Roberto.
01:44Even though they are not the endgame of the series,
01:47they are like those who are meant to be off-screen.
01:50Jack B's on-screen chemistry became real life.
01:55The passing of the year became a witness
01:58and different encounters in their relationship goals.
02:02I feel like he is my lucky charm
02:05because ever since we became a couple,
02:11my good opportunities continued.
02:16They are very supportive of each other's achievements.
02:21I even messaged them and congratulated them.
02:24They were the ones who suddenly skyrocketed.
02:27I support them.
02:29They also talked about getting married.
02:33Have you talked about getting married?
02:35Yes.
02:37When I have a house.
02:39But like other relationships,
02:41they also faced challenges.
02:44What was the most challenging?
02:46If there was any.
02:48Quality time.
02:50This December, they celebrated Jack's birthday together.
02:56But in an Instagram post,
02:59Barbie confirmed Jack's breakup.
03:03The message was bittersweet.
03:05Barbie said,
03:07their 7-year relationship is full of happiness, love, and romance.
03:13She also called Jack's love exceptional.
03:18But there are things that need to be done
03:22to give way to good things.
03:25Barbie thanked Jack
03:28and said,
03:29may you find the love you deserve.
03:31She asked the public to understand their situation.
03:36Jack did not respond.

03:46Super Election Year 2025
03:52Comelec is calling for a super election year 2025
03:56because of the three elections in the country.
03:59And regarding the preparations,
04:01we will talk to Comelec Chairman George Erwin Garcia.
04:04Good morning and welcome to Balitang Hali.
04:07Good morning, Ma'am Connie.
04:09And to our fellow countrymen,
04:10good morning and happy new year.
04:12Happy new year to you too, sir.
04:14Comelec is preparing three election events for this year.
04:18How are your preparations?
04:21Ma'am Connie, we still have a lot to do
04:25because we still have a lot to do regarding our preparations.
04:30But the good thing is,
04:32last December, we reached 110,000 machines.
04:36Actually, that was a month early.
04:39And now, we are testing it.
04:42We are testing it in all the barangays across the country
04:45because this will last until January 30.
04:48So more or less,
04:50we are also doing the testing of international entities
04:54at the moment.
04:56And later on, we will finalize the list of voters.
05:00Yes, sir.
05:01And we heard that even the repair of our broken counting machines
05:08has already been placed in different places
05:12so that it will not be transported if there are damages.
05:15Is that right?
05:16That's right, Ma'am Connie.
05:17In the first place,
05:19in the history of our automated election system,
05:23we have 110 repair hubs across the country.
05:27So in every province,
05:29and here in Metro Manila,
05:31in every city,
05:32there are repair hubs
05:36where if there is a problem with the machines or USB,
05:41it will automatically be brought to those repair hubs.
05:45Unlike before,
05:46even if it was damaged in a faraway province,
05:49it will still be brought to Santa Rosa,
05:51our repair hub.
05:53So this is already spread across the country.
05:55And in our testing now,
05:58among the candidates,
06:00did they disqualify?
06:03And to what extent can this still be disqualified?
06:06There are less than 300 who were disqualified by the Comelec,
06:10including all the nuisance candidates,
06:13national and local.
06:14You know, Ma'am Connie,
06:15we are proud that for the first time in the history of our election system,
06:20here in our country,
06:21we no longer have pending nuisance cases in the Comelec.
06:25This means that all nuisance cases have been resolved
06:29up to the level of the NBank.
06:32And therefore,
06:33we are sure that there will be no confusion
06:36or confusion that can be included in the ballot
06:38unless we issue a temporary restraining order
06:41by the Supreme Court.
06:43But the so-called nuisance candidates,
06:46is that not allowed?
06:48Because whenever there is an election,
06:50they also look familiar,
06:52right?
06:53Sometimes they still run, right?
06:55Isn't that if you declare them as nuisance candidates,
06:59will they still be able to run in the next elections?
07:01That's why, Ma'am Connie,
07:03that's our proposal to our Congress,
07:05if it's possible,
07:06to make them criminals.
07:07Make sure,
07:08because once we declare them,
07:10what will happen is,
07:11Ma'am Connie,
07:12they will run and run.
07:13The others,
07:14they sell their running,
07:15they pay,
07:16and the others,
07:17they just threaten the candidate
07:19and they even pay the opponents.
07:21So in our opinion,
07:22to stop this,
07:23we should impose a higher penalty
07:28or even a higher fine
07:31so that we can discourage the others
07:34to run even though they are being declared
07:37as nuisance candidates.
07:38And also,
07:39so that it won't be hard for the Comelec,
07:41they should be disqualified again and again,
07:43isn't that right?
07:44A waste of time and effort on your part.
07:46That's right.
07:47Because if Ma'am Connie makes that decision,
07:49it will take a long time.
07:50Yes, sir.
07:51And of course,
07:52they hire lawyers
07:54or they force them to hire lawyers.
07:56They also have expenses on their part.
07:57All right.
07:58President Bongbong Marcos has already
08:00ordered the decision
08:01to continue the first-ever BARMM elections.
08:04What can you say about that?
08:07We are attending the hearings
08:09of the Senate and the House of Representatives.
08:11You're right, Ma'am Connie,
08:12the House of Representatives said
08:14that the Moro Parliamentary Election
08:16is postponed.
08:17But the Senate,
08:18until now,
08:19has not taken any corresponding action
08:21on that matter.
08:22They held hearings,
08:25but they have not yet approved
08:27the proposed law
08:28on the postponement of elections.
08:30As for us, Ma'am Connie,
08:31we will prepare for that,
08:33whether it will continue or not.
08:34Because it's hard to go back to the streets,
08:36especially if this is just a proposed law.
08:38All right.
08:39Thank you very much
08:40for your updates
08:41on our news this afternoon, sir.
08:44Thank you very much, Ma'am Connie.
08:45Long live.
08:46Happy New Year.
08:47Happy New Year as well.
08:48This is Cominec Chairman
08:50George Erwin Garcia.
08:52We hope that today,
08:53the number of passengers
08:54will reach more than 100,000
08:55in Paranaque Integrated Terminal Exchange
08:57this first weekend of the year.
08:59Our first guest on the spot
09:00is Oscar Oida.
09:02Oscar.
09:05Yes, Raffy,
09:06in these moments,
09:07we are here at the entrance
09:08of Paranaque Integrated Terminal Exchange
09:10or PITX,
09:11where we can see
09:12that the number of passengers
09:13is still increasing.
09:15To be honest,
09:16the line is a bit slow,
09:17but there are chances
09:19that the line reaches
09:20outside the terminal.
09:22Raffy,
09:23as of 11 a.m.,
09:25the number of passengers
09:26has reached 64,000
09:29or more
09:30who are arriving
09:32or traveling
09:33here in Paranaque Integrated
09:34Terminal Exchange.
09:35And the reason is
09:36that PITX continues
09:38to monitor
09:39the terminal security
09:41here at the entrance
09:42to make sure
09:43that no contraband
09:44can enter.
09:45It's also a bit tight
09:46in these moments
09:47in the waiting area.
09:49But if we compare
09:50the past few days,
09:51particularly before Christmas,
09:53the line is no longer
09:54a blockbuster
09:56for ticket booths.
09:58For now,
09:59it's not that difficult
10:01to get tickets.
10:03We talked to the people there
10:04and according to them,
10:05most of the passengers
10:07are from the provinces,
10:09just like the provinces
10:10in Bicol.
10:11Meanwhile,
10:12PITX is hoping
10:13that the number of passengers
10:14can reach
10:15up to 170,000
10:17today.
10:19The majority of the passengers
10:20are expected to arrive
10:21this weekend
10:22until Monday.
10:24Raffy?
10:25Thank you very much,
10:26Oscar Oida.
