00:00First, let's take a look at the traffic on the holiday rush on the NLEX Balintawak.

00:05Ian Cruz is on the spot.

00:12Yes, Rafi, in these moments, the direction of the North Luzon Expressway is still wide.

00:17Rafi, what we are seeing here is a wide Balintawak toll plaza.

00:21The scene now is almost the same on the various toll plazas along the length of the NLEX and the SCTEX.

00:28But Rafi, of course, if you will travel to the North during Christmas,

00:32it is expected that from later in the afternoon until December 24, the number of vehicles will decrease.

00:41But before we got here, we also saw the high volume of vehicles going to Manila, to South Bound of the NLEX Valenzuela.

00:50That is why there is a slowdown in the traffic of vehicles there.

00:53As for the NLEX, it is also expected that the following weekend, December 27 to 29, there will also be a high traffic volume.

01:02It is also expected that many vehicles will travel in the new year or from January 3 to January 6.

01:11The NLEX's advice to motorists is to travel in non-peak hours so as not to be disturbed.

01:18It is estimated that 1,500 NLEX people are deployed for their traffic and toll systems this Christmas

01:25so as to ensure a safe trip along the length of the NLEX.

01:29That is the latest news from the NLEX. Back to you, Rafi.

01:34Thank you very much, Ian Cruz.

01:36Provincial buses are allowed to pass through EDSA in a limited time starting today.

01:41According to the MMDA, provincial buses can pass through EDSA from 10pm to 5am starting today.

01:49They are also allowed to pass through EDSA from December 26 to January 2 due to the wide range of traffic.

01:57According to the MMDA, more than 2,000 provincial buses will benefit from this law.

02:04Travelers returning to Visayas and Mindanao are also arriving at the pier in Manila.

02:10Let's hear from Joe Marapresto.

02:15After more than two years, the brothers Michael, John, and Jen are finally reunited.

02:23Their jobs will be separated in Baguio City, Laguna, and Cavite.

02:28And because it's Christmas, they will go home together to their parents in Butuan.

02:34We haven't seen each other for a long time. It's nice because we haven't been together for a long time.

02:40Charisse is a second-year college student.

02:43It's her first time to go home by boat.

02:45She will go home to her house in Bukidnon.

02:47She also has gifts for her seven siblings.

02:51There are chocolates and spend time with family.

02:55That's what I look forward to.

02:57If there are a lot of people going home to the provinces,

03:00there are also a lot of people who will go on vacation in Metro Manila this Christmas.

03:04Just like 20-year-old Anela, who hasn't been home for more than 10 years.

03:09They are from Ozamis, her brother's hometown.

03:12They chose to bond with their father this Christmas.

03:16It's just a vacation.

03:19Wherever my father wants to go.

03:2322-year-old Jule is also from Ozamis.

03:27It's her first time to celebrate Christmas in Metro Manila.

03:30She will work here as a call center agent.

03:33Their office mates are Lina and Divina.

03:36They will attend their Christmas party in Metro Manila.

03:40They are one of the top employees of their recruiting agency.

03:45We will go to Tagaytay.

03:47Hopefully, after the Christmas party.

03:50We will go home on the 23rd. We already have tickets.

03:53The Philippine Ports Authority said that it is possible to reach 4.5 million passengers in the provinces

04:01from December 15 until the end of the Christmas season on January 3.

04:05The majority will go to Batangas Port where the Roribuses will pass to Visayas and Mendanao.

04:11The PPA also said that three new X-ray machines will be placed here at the terminal of Manila North Port

04:17to speed up the inspection.

04:19They also arranged other facilities to help the women, senior citizens and PWDs.

04:26They are also chasing to finish their new air conditioning system for the infected passengers.

04:33It will be faster to place the luggage there.

04:38Our luggage X-ray operators will be able to see if there are any prohibited luggage.

04:48If there are any, you will be able to confiscate them.

04:51Jomer Apresto reporting for GMA Integrated News.

04:56News in Luzon from GMA Regional TV.

04:59The trip to Bicol is problematic due to heavy traffic in one part of Camarina Sur.

05:04Chris, how is the situation in Cam Sur?

05:07Bumper-to-bumper traffic was experienced by some motorists and travelers on the Andaya Highway in Lupi, Camarina Sur.

05:15Only one lane was crossed on the highway in Barangay Cabotagan after the road was damaged by a landslide.

05:22The road was very bumpy and the vehicles were counter-flowing.

05:28Motorists said that most of them will go to Bicol and Visayas.

05:31The distance between Bicol and Visayas is now five hours on the so-called highway compared to just one hour before.

05:38The Highway Patrol Group, Land Transportation Office and Department of Public Works and Highways are helping in controlling the traffic.

05:46The repair of the entire Andaya Highway has also begun.

05:50Beep, beep, beep.

05:57Motorists are now hoping for an increase in the price of oil products next week.

06:03The Oil Industry Management Bureau of the Department of Energy estimates that based on four-day trading,

06:08the price of 1 peso and 10 centavos to 1 peso and 40 centavos per liter of diesel is increasing.

06:1635 centavos to 70 centavos per liter of gasoline.

06:20While 90 centavos to 1 peso per liter is the possible increase in the price of kerosene.

06:26This number may change based on the trading results this Friday.

06:31Since Tuesday is usually the day that changes the price,

06:35the oil price hike will be on the eve of Christmas.

06:40As one of the reasons for the increase in the price of oil products,

06:43the dollar is getting stronger against the peso and the decrease of crude oil stocks in America.

06:53There is still a chance for another typhoon to pass through the low-pressure area in Mindanao,

06:57the former Kirubin Typhoon.

06:59The last one to pass was 35 kilometers northeast of Dipolog City in Zamboanga del Norte.

07:04It is possible for another typhoon to pass through the West Philippine Sea, based on the forecast.

07:09For now, the LPA will still bring rain to Palawan, Visayas, and Mindanao.

07:14It will also bring rain to other parts of Luzon due to the shear line

07:18or the accumulation of cold and hot Easter Leaves.

07:22Metro Manila and other parts of Luzon will be affected.

07:27For today, we expect heavy to intense rains in Catanduanes,

07:31Albay, Sorsogon, Northern Samar, Eastern Samar, Samar, Biliran, Leyte, and Southern Leyte.

07:39Heavy to intense rains will be experienced in some provinces in Southern Luzon,

07:44Central and Western Visayas, and Mindanao.

07:48Tomorrow, there will be intense rains in Quezon and other parts of Bicol and Mimaropa Region.

07:54Expectations for Quezon and other parts of Bicol will be high again.

07:58Residents in Bantanang Baha or Landslide are warned.
