00:00A large part of the mountain rose up in the sea of Cebu following an unceasing rain.
00:12The road that crossed the other side of the city of Argao did not pass for a few hours.
00:17Immediately, cleaning operations were carried out in the area by the LGU, Municipal Engineering Office, and Disaster Team.
00:26PITX's second floor has already received a queue of passengers for Nay Cavite, a day before Christmas Eve.
00:34Due to the traffic in Camarines Sur, some buses from Bicol were delayed.
00:39Niko Wahe has a live report. Niko?
00:46Tom, the buses from Bicol are still delayed.
00:49That's why passengers have already bought new tickets from other buses that will be able to travel tonight.
01:00This escalator is not for them in PITX.
01:03It was intentionally not to be used to make a queue of passengers for Nay Cavite, which has already reached the second floor.
01:10It's annoying. Why?
01:12Because the queue is so long.
01:14I'm so stressed. Why?
01:16The queue is so long. There are so many queues.
01:18Mark, a student, is expecting a queue like this, especially when everyone is going home at the same time.
01:23It's a short day.
01:25Because he was the first one to travel, the queue reached the third floor.
01:29I expected the queue to be longer on November 1.
01:34I was surprised that it was only up to the second floor.
01:38It's not new to me anymore.
01:40According to the information desk in PITX, there are buses.
01:43It's intentional that many passengers go home at the same time to catch up on Christmas.
01:47In Pabicol, there are several buses that were delayed due to the traffic in Camarines Sur.
01:52It's a bit slow because there's a lot of traffic in Royal Lupe.
01:56The buses are really delayed.
01:58The schedule has been adjusted.
02:00Teresa, even though she booked online for November, she was not able to travel tonight because there's no bus.
02:07Our trip was supposed to be on the 23rd.
02:09They adjusted it to the 24th because of the traffic.
02:11They only gave feedback yesterday.
02:14We were not informed.
02:18So the remedy is to buy a new ticket from another bus that will travel tonight to catch up on Noche Buena tomorrow.
02:24We have a double payment so that we can go home.
02:27Geraldine's family was lucky that they were able to get a ticket for a walk-in so that they can travel early tonight.
02:33We are still thankful because even though it's already 12 o'clock, there's still a bus.
02:37We thought it would be tomorrow or the day after because there are already a lot of passengers.
02:47At this time, there are already a lot of people here in PITX.
02:52Even though the long line of passengers earlier was already delayed.
02:59And for the security here in PITX, there are a lot of policemen walking around here and there are also K-9 units that are ensuring that the passengers are safe.
03:09Atom.

06:39to the passengers.
06:41But there's a reminder.
06:43Let's show our hospitality.
06:45But it's not allowed to receive gifts.
06:47Batangasport
06:49was temporarily closed yesterday
06:51after a traffic jam.

07:21Batangasport's chief explained
07:23that the sale of tickets is not continuous
07:25so that it won't disturb the schedule.

07:33Saturday is 25,000.
07:35Yesterday, Sunday,
07:37it's 26,000 plus.
07:39If there are this many passengers,
07:41the boat is not enough.
07:43According to the Philippine Ports Authority,
07:45it's better to make the online ticketing system mandatory.
07:47Cars are also lining up
07:49in Matong Ports in Sosugon.

09:05to protect himself
09:07and his companions

11:25The court also removed the request

12:03pregnant woman,
12:05three men recognized her son
12:07at a party in Oslob
12:09who forced her to drink.
12:11Meanwhile, the victim

12:15One day after she reported to the police
12:17that Dalaguita was found dead,
12:19four of the 13 suspects
12:21were arrested in Dalaguit,
12:23Cebu.
12:25They were positively recognized by the witnesses.

12:45The Central Bank of the Philippines

12:51Not for the heroes,
12:53but for the animals and plants
12:55that are about to run out.
12:57Maki Pulido has a report.
13:01The timing for those
13:03who are planning to give
13:05burnt papers, especially two days
13:07before Christmas,
13:09the Central Bank of the Philippines
13:11has already issued new money.
13:13But if Ninong and Ninang
13:15still want to give a quiz
13:17on who has the money,
13:19don't ask the heroes
13:21because they already left.
13:23Instead, the animals and plants
13:25that are about to run out
13:27can be found in the Philippines.
13:29For the historian,
13:31Professor Ferdinand Llanes,
13:33during times when our heroes
13:35were the ones who founded
13:37our country,
13:39we should do it.
13:41Instead of our heroes,
13:43the Philippine Eagle,
13:45Visayan Spotted Deer,
13:47Palawan Peacock,
13:49and Visayan Leopard Cat,
13:51some of the 700 endemic
13:53animal species
13:55that are in the category
13:57of endangered species.
13:59We are highlighting
14:01the conservation needs
14:03of our threatened species
14:05so that our attention
14:07can be directed
14:09and our programs can be helped.
14:11Llanes said that there are two sides
14:13to the money.
14:15That's why the heroes should
14:17not be excluded from the money.
14:19On one side,
14:21we have Manuel Quezon.
14:23On the other side,
14:25we have the Asian Palm Sea Vet.
14:27So why not a compromise?
14:29According to the BSP,
14:31the new design raises awareness
14:33of endangered animals and plants.
14:35Macky Pulido reporting
