00:00Even though this mother avoided a fight, she was hit by a bus.

00:09The stroller of her two-year-old son also collided.

00:13Fortunately, the child's head did not roll.

00:15The mother immediately went to the hospital, even though she was a little dizzy.

00:19The bus driver and conductor apologized.

00:22But according to the grandmother of the child,

00:24her grandson seemed to be traumatized,

00:26that he is afraid whenever he sees a car.

00:29The company of the bus also asked for compensation,

00:31and said that the driver will be penalized under the Defensive Driving Lessons Act.

00:42It is a pleasure to see the rise of a mountain in Ifugao.

00:46And if you look back,

00:48this is where Yamashita and the Japanese fought during World War II.

00:53Let's go there with Marizo Mali.

00:55Wanna go hiking?

00:57Somewhere up,

00:59on the summit.

01:01Up, up, up,

01:03with the ULAP.

01:11See that sea of clouds?

01:13That's also what Lester Jimeno, a mountaineer, saw and felt.

01:17On Mount Pulauan, in the hill of Ifugao,

01:20it's said that you feel like you're in heaven

01:23because of the mesmerizing view from the difficult hiking.

01:27We camped at the summit.

01:29Going up to the summit,

01:31it took us around 7 to 8 hours.

01:34Going down, it's faster.

01:36Lester's group started climbing,

01:39so the trail is said to be twice as difficult.

01:41But thanks to that, they passed through the mossy forest.

01:44It's like being in the world of Encantadia.

01:47I was amazed, actually,

01:49because the mossy forest of Pulauan

01:51is very enchanting.

01:53The mossy forest is beautiful.

01:55But even now,

01:57it's still difficult

01:59because you have to go through steep trails.

02:03The history of this place is also full of mystery.

02:06During World War II,

02:07it's said that the Japanese general, Tomoyuki Yamashita,

02:11climbed up to the summit of Ifugao.

02:15Because Mount Pulauan is considered a major hike,

02:18it's not just for beginners.

02:20There's also the Bantanang Linta Volumatic

02:23and the chilling cold when it comes to Tuktuk.

02:28But it can't be compared to the sunset

02:31that can be seen in Bukang Niwayway.

02:35Mariz Umali reports for GMA Integrated News.

02:40Not only is Binondo the center of celebration

02:42for Chinese New Year,

02:44in Quezon City, there's a line of food

02:46for the Chinese food crowd.

02:48Let's take a look at Katrina Son's report.

02:54Just a few sleeps and it's already the Year of the Wood Snake.

02:57And in Plaza San Lorenzo Lumis in the heart of Binondo,

03:00this Prosperity Tree has already been lit.

03:03Every Chinese New Year,

03:05there's already a line of food trips

03:07to the Chinatowns in Binondo.

03:10But heck,

03:12you can't miss out on the food

03:14in Banawe, Quezon City.

03:16Here in Quezon City, Chinatown,

03:18there's a lot of food that we visited.

03:22First on the list is Dim Sum Mai

03:24with beef soup.

03:26It's a perfect combo to make it more delicious.

03:29The taste is different.

03:31When you taste it, it's like you're in another country.

03:35In this restaurant,

03:37they're serving Chinese Fresh Lumpia.

03:39Their oyster cake and kikyak are also a must-try.

03:42For our Lumpia, we have 11 kinds of ingredients inside.

03:47So it's complete.

03:50To pair this Braised Pork with Egg,

03:52the shaved ice dessert is a partner.

03:56This restaurant's main dish is Kwa Pao.

03:58If you're a rice person,

04:00the Golden Crispy Pork Chop is a must-try.

04:03Boneless, crunchy on the outside, soft on the inside.

04:06The food is worth a try

04:09in more than 50 stalls in Banawe

04:11that are open for the busy Chinese New Year.
