00:00In Batangas Ports, a queue of hungry and sleepy people are on their way home to their respective provinces.
00:08The terminal had to be temporarily closed yesterday because of the heavy traffic.
00:13From Batangas Ports, Marisol Abdurrahman is live.
00:18Marisol?
00:21Pia, this is not the parking lot that we are going through right now.
00:25If you can see, there are a lot of cars lined up.
00:28These are the queues that will enter Batangas Ports.
00:31Most of them are here at night.
00:33And earlier, there were queues early in the morning just to enter Batangas Ports.
00:38In fact, Pia, some of them that we passed earlier were already asleep in their cars.
00:44But others, just like those who went to Ciclo, are really sleeping on the side of the road.
00:50According to the security guards who are watching this, Pia,
00:53the queue of cars is already 5 kilometers long.
01:02The queues of passengers in Batangas Ports were full yesterday.
01:05Some of the passengers got confused and got stuck after trying to get in.
01:09That's why they stopped because it's really full.
01:12We tried to get in, we put up a barrier so that the queues that are in demand could pass.
01:21Today, there are still a lot of passengers who are going to enter the port.
01:25The queue of cars is still long.
01:28Inside the terminal, there are already a lot of passengers waiting in line for the ticket.
01:33Here, they are already sleepy and hungry.
01:36I'm not sure yet what time the trip will start.
01:40There are a lot of people in line.
01:42It's already full.
01:44Ma'am, we will only see each other from 12 to 13.
01:48It's just now, ma'am.
01:51It's hard, ma'am.
01:53There are a lot of people.
01:55We can't get in because it's too slow.
01:58According to the leadership of Batangas Port,
02:00the sale of tickets is not continuous so that it won't disturb the schedule of the trips.
02:05If there are this many passengers,
02:07the boat is not enough.
02:10There are three long-haul boats.
02:15For this period, there are only long-haul boats.
02:17In Matug Ports in Sor Sugon,
02:19outside the terminal, there are also a lot of cars passing by in the summer.
02:23But what is slow is the difficult transportation in Roro
02:26because of the strong waves of the shoreline.
02:29In the middle of the crowd of passengers,
02:31the Philippine Ports Authority suggests that the online ticketing system should be mandatory
02:37so that the trip will be fast and people will know what to expect every day.
02:42In Niaya, the record-breaking number of passengers arrived this Saturday.
02:46According to the MIAA,
02:48more than 160,000 passengers left and arrived on December 21.
02:54There are more domestic passengers.
02:56This is part of the decline yesterday.
02:58Manila to the provinces, this is the majority.
03:01The boat of passengers should have left already.
03:04But we are still waiting and trying to see if the 23rd,
03:09if there will be some movement.
03:12In Niaya Terminal 2 and 3 yesterday,
03:14there were also no passengers arriving.
03:17The Bureau of Immigration of the People added
03:20to process the arrivals of passengers.
03:23In Iloilo International Airport,
03:25the runway was temporarily closed after a pothole was found in the runway.
03:30According to the Civil Aviation Authority of the Philippines,
03:33some flights were affected.
03:35Flight operations returned to normal after almost four hours.
03:44As of 8 p.m., almost 19,000 PIA arrived.
03:48The number of passengers who crossed from Batangasport
03:51will go to their destinations.
03:53That's more compared to 6 p.m. with more than 16,000 data.
03:58This PPA is expected to increase
04:01the number of passengers who will fly to Nechebuena.
