NewsTranscript
00:00Let's first take a look at the situation in Paranaque Integrated Terminal Exchange or PITX.
00:06Where the buses are fully booked until December 31.
00:10Oscar Oida is on the spot.
00:14Oscar!
00:20Paranaque Integrated Terminal Exchange or PITX.
00:23And as you can see behind me, there are no more passengers coming to this terminal.
00:30This is compared to the tight security of the terminal.
00:35As we can see, every item that is brought in here is thoroughly checked
00:40to make sure that they will not be robbed by any smugglers.
00:44There is no doubt that in the past few days,
00:46there were still a few smugglers who took the security of the PITX,
00:50such as small items like scissors.
00:53There were even firecrackers.
00:55This is a warning to our fellow countrymen.
00:58This is a warning to our fellow countrymen.
01:00This is a warning to our fellow countrymen.
01:02As of 10 a.m., more than 67,000 passengers arrived here at the PITX.
01:08And I can also say that on December 23 last year,
01:12it was reported that the maximum number of passengers in the PITX reached 204,000.
01:17So it won't be long before that number will reach more than that.
01:20In fact, in the queues of tickets, the line is now a blockbuster.
01:26Bung Chagang, Puhi Pila, our fellow countrymen are in a long line
01:30waiting to get an ordinary ticket.
01:34Because most of the air-conditioned buses are already fully booked.
01:40The PITX leadership said that they are ready to add more flights.
01:45We are sure that our fellow countrymen will be able to travel to the PITX this Christmas.
01:51Rafi, Connie?
01:52Oscar, if there are no additional flights,
01:55what is the alternative for those who have run out of tickets?
02:02Well, if you ask the PITX leadership,
02:08they are sure that there will be more.
02:11But you have to be patient in the line
02:14because the situation will be like a walk-in Rafi.
02:17Meaning, every day that you arrive, you will be in a line.
02:22When a bus arrives, you will ride it.
02:25It's not like a reservation where you are already checking your tickets.
02:30Here, you have a ticket.
02:32The question is, when?
02:34That's why the passengers here are rushing to get a seat
02:39so that they can arrive on Christmas
02:42and be with their loved ones this year.
02:45Rafi?
02:46And there are no people who are tired of it, Oscar,
02:48who are still bringing tickets.
02:50Do you still have fellow countrymen?
02:55Well, as of this moment, Rafi,
02:57we still don't have data on that.
02:59But previously, this December 21 and 22, if I'm not mistaken,
03:03there are still people who are bringing things,
03:06like butane, and firecrackers.
03:10That's why we are worried that there will be no one to accompany you on your trip.
03:15It's really hard because there are so many people.
03:17It's hard to ride a bus.
03:19You have to bring things that are prohibited.
03:21You will really be worried.
03:23Not only you, but other people here will also be affected
03:26if you bring these things.
03:28So, as much as possible, let's avoid that
03:31so that everyone can travel properly this Christmas, Rafi.
03:35Thank you very much, Oscar Oida.
03:39Some passengers were chosen to sleep in the terminals in Quezon City
03:44to wait for their trip to Bicol.
03:47That was followed by a delay in their trip
03:49due to heavy traffic in Camarina Sur.
03:52This is the news of James Agustin.
03:56In this bus terminal in Cubao, Quezon City,
03:58some passengers passed by.
04:00They were allowed to return to Bicol Region
04:02due to a few hours delay in their bus trip.
04:04Like Arwin, who arrived here at 8 in the morning.
04:07He will now return to Camarines Norte after 3 years.
04:11It's really hard.
04:12We just have to wait.
04:14We have to travel again to Capalonga.
04:18I'm really excited, sir.
04:19I don't want to go home because we have to wait for a 30-month pay.
04:23It didn't go through.
04:25We have a salary.
04:26We just went on vacation.
04:28I really want to go home.
04:30It's been a long time.
04:32That's also the situation of Junjun, who is on a diet.
04:35He took a day off from work so that he can ride early.
04:38But he didn't expect to pass through the bus terminal.
04:41What's important to us is that we can all go home.
04:44Even though it's still raining there.
04:48It's almost foggy again.
04:50There's still no bus passing by.
04:52Argelie is from Pangrizal.
04:54She will be on vacation in Camarines Norte for 10 days.
04:57Of course, I want to ride early and avoid the traffic jams.
05:00The traffic that we're going through will take a long time.
05:06I'm really excited because I'll be able to see my children, my grandchildren.
05:11The bus terminal driver explained to the passengers
05:15that the trip will be delayed for a few hours
05:17because the Andaya Highway is still part of the Camarines Norte.
05:21We're still experiencing heavy traffic there.
05:24Because it's still a one-way road.
05:26The road is still in bad condition.
05:29So now, we're re-routing.
05:31We're going through Camarines Norte to Maharlika Highway
05:35so that our buses can travel faster.
05:38The air-conditioned buses for Camarines Norte are fully booked until December 31.
05:44Until December 29, the buses for Camarines Sur and Legazpi City are fully booked.
05:49But the chance passengers can still ride.
05:52We have extra ordinary buses.
05:55First-come, first-served.
05:59We have a lot of ordinary buses.
06:02In this bus terminal, the air-conditioned buses for Baguio and Zambales are fully booked until December 31.
06:09But they were delayed for extra trips
06:12because of the expected increase in passengers this holiday season.
06:16Josephine is from Pangolonga with her three children.
06:19They will spend Christmas here in Quezon City.
06:22We're very excited because we don't want to see them again after six years.
06:27It's a bit traffic if we're late.
06:30It's already 23 now.
06:32If we're late tomorrow, we'll be in a lot of traffic.
06:38James Agustin reporting for JMA Integrated News.
06:43For the viewers from Manila, we apologize.
06:46The 8 to 12-hour normal trip was also added
06:50because of the heavy traffic on Andaya Highway in Lupe, Camarines Sur.
06:55According to some bus drivers, they were stuck in traffic for five to six hours.
07:01In some parts of the highway, the lanes that can be passed were reduced
07:04because of the road construction on the sides of Baguio Road.
07:09In the middle of the heavy traffic,
07:11a man was hit in the right side of the head by a motorcycle.
07:16He got out of the bus to get some fresh air when the motorcycle passed by.
07:21He was given an ambulance but it was delayed before he could be taken to the hospital
07:25because of the heavy traffic.
07:27The police already held the injured rider.
07:30Some parts of Palawan and Mindanao were flooded
07:39because of the trough or extension of Baguio-Romina.
07:42This is the news of Bam Alegre.
07:47Some barangays in Puerto Princesa City in Palawan were flooded
07:50because of the heavy rain.
07:51The traffic on the road was slow because of the water.
07:54Some houses and mansions were flooded
07:57just like this panaderian where the water reached their equipment.
08:01According to the city information officer of Puerto Princesa,
08:04the rain in the city was not ordinary.
08:07Aside from this, the flooding added to the garbage disposal in the waterways.
08:12The local government is monitoring the situation.
08:15In Asa Island, which is also part of Palawan,
08:18more than 50 families were evacuated to the evacuation center.
08:21They experienced heavy rain and strong wind.
08:24Food packs were prepared for them.
08:29Along with the strong wind and rain in Coronadal City in South Cotabato,
08:33the roof of some shops in Lungsol was broken.
08:37The shopkeepers put a trap to cover their shop
08:41but some shops were still wet.
08:43That's why it can't be sold anymore.
08:45Some parts of Digos and Tavao del Sur were flooded.
08:47Some were forced to travel but the water reached their tricycle.
08:52Some residents did not wait in their houses
08:54that's why they were forced to carry the flood.
08:56Bam Alegre reporting for GMA Integrated News.
09:02There are no more high wind signals in other parts of the country
09:05because of the Tropical Depression Romina.
09:07According to the weather forecast,
09:09the storm that passed by last night,
09:11165 kilometers north of Asa Island, Calayaan, Palawan,
09:15will be far away.
09:16The strong wind will reach 55 kilometers per hour.
09:20This weekend, the local name of the storm, Romina,
09:23was given hope even though it did not enter the Philippine Area of Responsibility.
09:27The agency explained that the storm affected Calayaan Islands
09:31during those moments.
09:33Now, the storm is hitting Vietnam
09:35but its trough or extension is still in Palawan.
09:39It will reach Visayas, Bicol Region, Calabarzon,
09:43and many parts of the Mimaropa Region.
09:46Meanwhile, the strong wind is affecting Metro Manila
09:50and other parts of Luzon.
09:52Local thunderstorms are expected in Mindanao.
09:56Northern Samar is prepared for heavy rains.
10:01It is expected that there will be heavy rains
10:03in some parts of Calabarzon,
10:05Mimaropa, Bicol,
10:07and in Eastern and Central Visayas.
10:09Residents are being alerted from flood or landslide.
10:15This Monday, a minimum temperature of 16 degrees Celsius was recorded in Baguio
10:19while the temperature was 23.6 degrees Celsius here in Quezon City.
10:29The truck that was loaded with canned goods
10:32inside the city of Ilocos Norte caught fire in the middle of the road.
10:34According to the driver, the 12-wheeler's tire exploded
10:37until the car caught fire.
10:39The fire got worse when he poured water on it.
10:42Another tire also caught fire.
10:44Some of its canned goods were burned.
10:48It was said that it came from a flower truck
10:50that was supposed to be delivered to a warehouse in the town of Bacara.
10:54No one was injured in the incident.
10:59For those who are in a hurry to do last-minute shopping
11:01in Divisoria, Manila,
11:03be alert, especially to the thieves.
11:05A store owner was the victim of a landslide
11:10and the victim pretended to be a customer.
11:12Jomer Apresto reports.
11:17Inside a store in Divisoria, Manila,
11:20a man in black entered the store and seemed to be looking for something to buy.
11:26But when the woman in blue left her seat,
11:29the man just grabbed a broom
11:31and quickly stole the victim's cell phone.
11:35The woman in the video is the owner of the store.
11:39I left my cell phone here.
11:41I went online.
11:42The woman was careful because her baby was crying.
11:45She forgot where she left her cell phone
11:48because she was really busy.
11:50Their problem now is how to access their accounts
11:54that they use to shop online.
11:57Don't just trust the buyer.
12:00Because it's different now.
12:02Especially now.
12:03Yes, especially now that it's Christmas.
12:04You might need money.
12:06The owner is hoping to get his cell phone back
12:09because there are important documents inside.
12:12The first-time shopper in Divisoria, Fernando,
12:16was extra careful.
12:17He put his bag in front of him so he wouldn't get robbed.
12:20I have a bag.
12:22The bag is in front of you
12:24so that you can see if you get robbed or not.
12:28According to the Manila Police District,
12:31more than 3 million people visited Divisoria
12:35since December 15.
12:37And because more people are buying here
12:40a few days before Christmas,
12:42they are asking people to be more careful.
12:45We have more than 1,200 MPD personnel
12:48so that we can spread our message
12:50to the people around us
12:52and to the people around us.
12:54We should also avoid bringing large amounts of money
12:58and wearing expensive clothes.
