00:00How many OFWs went home to be with their families this Christmas?
00:05Let's take a look at the situation in Naia Terminal 1
00:08with JP Soriano's On The Spot.
00:11JP?
00:16Connie, kapuso, the situation here in Naia Terminal 1 is fine.
00:19But we witnessed the reunion of our countrymen who are returning to the Philippines
00:25when they landed here in the Naia Terminal 1 Arrival Area
00:29and Connie, we witnessed the embrace, the kissing,
00:34the embrace of our countrymen OFWs
00:37when they were greeted by their relatives
00:41who are waiting for them here in the greeters area
00:44in the arrivals of Naia Terminal 1 this Christmas Eve.
00:47Most of the flights that arrived here, Connie,
00:50came from the Middle East.
00:51That's why the OFWs arrived just in time for Christmas Eve.
00:55Just like an OFW from the United Arab Emirates
00:58who was greeted by his mother, children, and siblings.
01:02The OFWs told us that there is no happiness
01:05or there is no happiness and it's nice to feel the embrace
01:08of the loved ones in life this Christmas.
01:10Even though they often video chat,
01:13the families in the Philippines are still different this Christmas
01:16and it's a different Christmas in the Philippines.
01:18Most of the people we talked to,
01:20they really went home on Christmas Day
01:24to be with their families in the new year.
01:27The leave or the number of days of vacation
01:30that was given to them by their employers is limited.
01:32Of course, if there are people arriving,
01:35we also saw people leaving
01:37and we witnessed that in our fellow Filipinos
01:40who will leave the Philippines this Christmas Eve
01:43to return to their jobs abroad.
01:46Even though the arrival and departure of the flights are continuous,
01:49we noticed that there are not that many passengers
01:53and visitors here in Naia Terminal 1.
01:56We will visit other terminals here in Naia
01:59to see the situation of our fellow Filipinos
02:02who go home and leave this Christmas Eve.
02:06That's the latest from Naia.
02:08Back to you, Connie.
02:09Thank you very much, JP Soriano.
