00:00It's almost Noche Buena Sa Daan.
00:03Some of our fellow countrymen have just traveled to celebrate Christmas in the province.
00:07From PITX, we have a live report from Niko Wahe.
00:10Niko?
00:15Ato, we have a lot of fellow countrymen who are just about to return to their provinces to celebrate Christmas.
00:21The difference with them is that they finished their work yesterday.
00:25Yesterday.
00:29There are a lot of people who are busy preparing for Noche Buena.
00:33But some of our fellow countrymen have just traveled to the province and are on their way to celebrate Christmas.
00:39Emerson, who is busy, had to finish his work as a surveyor in Tagaytay yesterday.
00:45I was supposed to be back yesterday at 23.
00:48But our bus didn't allow us because we have to take a bus the day after tomorrow.
00:54And it's already late.
00:56So I'm just going home now.
00:58But he said it's okay because he can still go home and his loved ones will be with him until January 5.
01:04My children, I'm already here at the terminal.
01:07I'm also going home by vehicle.
01:09So tomorrow, I'll be there tomorrow.
01:11It's also a job, that's why the technician, Christian, is going home early.
01:15I'm really busy with work.
01:18And I can't leave the area that's not finished.
01:23Before Christmas and New Year, I have to accomplish everything.
01:29The bus ride to Pio Duran in Albay is 12 hours.
01:32And it's 3 hours by boat to Masbate.
01:35It's just a midnight snack on the way.
01:36For some, Christmas is what they're chasing.
01:38For JC, it's just a busy day for him to go to Magsaysay Occidental, Mindoro.
01:43He took an emergency leave from his job in Saudi Arabia to be able to go to his father's funeral.
01:48It's hard to accept that you've worked hard to support them.
01:55And then you'll hear that you're not with them anymore.
02:00The problem is, he didn't make it to the bus ride.
02:04The next trip is tomorrow morning.
02:06He'll ride to Batangas Port and Babacasakali if there's a trip to Calapan and home to their hometown.
02:12JC is the only one out of more than 140,000 passengers who went to PITX this Christmas Eve.
02:19As of 5 p.m., that number is lower than more than 232,000 passengers yesterday.
02:25Yesterday.
02:30Atom, as of 10 p.m., the number of passengers who went to PITX is 190,133.
02:38And it's increasing because there are still passengers who want to go home to their families and celebrate Christmas.
02:48Merry Christmas, Atom.
