00:00Meanwhile, for those who are going to do Christmas shopping today,
00:04please be patient, be patient, and be disciplined
00:09because the traffic is getting heavier.
00:12Unlike here, in other places, the traffic is getting heavier.
00:17So, it will be hard to book a ride-hailing app.
00:21And we have first news, EJ Gomez.
00:24But it's not light, it's heavy.
00:27Filipinos are doing their own shopping in their last-minute shopping last night
00:31before Christmas Eve this day.
00:33Operating hours of malls are extended during the holiday season.
00:37In a mall in Quezon City,
00:39some have already set aside their time last night
00:41for the preparations they will do in Noche Buena later.
00:44Just like Christina's family who traveled from Tondo, Manila.
00:48There are so many people inside the mall.
00:51We bought Christmas gifts for my two children.
00:55Shoes, clothes, and our husband's clothes.
00:59Kimbert, on the other hand,
01:00spent several hours in the mall to buy groceries last night.
01:03Usually, the menu for kare-kare, salad,
01:06those are the usual things that we prepare.
01:08There are so many people, the line is so long.
01:12And when he was about to go home,
01:13it was hard to book a ride-hailing app.
01:16Harley and her friends
01:18just met at the mall to go to their Christmas get-together.
01:23But the joy of meeting again
01:25was mixed with stress because they don't have a car.
01:29It's hard because there are so many people.
01:30If I could just get a jeep,
01:34I don't want to fill it up because there's no other choice.
01:36If I wait for the bus,
01:40I'll be late for my destination.
01:42The riders themselves were also affected by the heavy traffic.
01:45During rush hour, there's a lot of traffic.
01:49That's why we, the riders,
01:51we're just trying to make it to our destination safely.
01:55We're being careful
01:57so that our passengers can get there safely.
02:00Although there are a lot of people booking a motorcycle ride,
02:05they say that their income is almost the same
02:07because of the long hours on the road
02:09and the high consumption of gasoline.
02:12This is the first news.
