00:07 Live from the GMA Network Center, this is 24 Horas.
00:13 [Music]
00:17 It's the last Friday before the long Christmas weekend,
00:21 so there are more people who are chasing their loved ones to go home.
00:26 We will look at the situation in bus stations,
00:30 and the situation in airports and pantalones.
00:33 We will also look at the traffic in some main roads,
00:37 including expressways, entrances and exits of Metro Manila.
00:40 We will also look at those who are chasing Christmas shopping in Divisoria,
00:44 and those who are preparing for Noche Buena.
00:47 [Music]
00:50 Good evening, Zon Visayas and Ming Danao.
00:53 It's like a domino has fallen on the bus terminals,
00:58 the chaos of the passengers who are chasing on Christmas weekend.
01:03 After the heavy traffic on the roads,
01:08 the passengers are waiting for their vehicles to stop.
01:12 Let's start with some of the neighboring provincial bus terminals in EDSA.
01:16 Chino Gaston is live.
01:19 Chino!
01:20 [Music]
01:24 Emil, Adam and Mel, the passengers are arriving here at the bus terminals
01:29 in EDSA's long distance in Quezon City to chase on Christmas weekend.
01:34 [Music]
01:38 The passengers did not wait for their vehicles to stop while waiting for a bus to pass through a terminal in Quezon City.
01:46 But the problem is that they have already waited for several hours.
01:50 How long have you been waiting?
01:52 Three hours, sir.
01:54 Three hours.
01:55 Where are you traveling?
01:56 To Catitlan.
01:57 Are you still waiting for the bus?
01:58 Yes.
01:59 Where are you traveling?
02:00 Lilo.
02:01 For those who are traveling to North Luzon,
02:03 it's also a curse for this terminal in the city of Manila, Melicia.
02:08 She can't wait for her son Manuel Isabella to get home,
02:11 so she's with the whole family who will not just celebrate Christmas there,
02:16 but also to visit her grandson's grave.
02:18 My husband is from Isabela.
02:20 We will be celebrating Christmas there.
02:23 To make the bus trip faster,
02:25 from 10 p.m. later tonight until early January 2,
02:29 provincial buses from the North and PITX buses from the South can enter EDSA and C5.
02:37 But provincial buses are not allowed to pass the bus carousel.
02:41 If we allow them to pass EDSA,
02:44 the turnaround of the provincial buses will be faster.
02:47 But they cannot ride and get off because it will cause obstruction.
02:51 Emil is also with the bus terminals of the Philippine National Police,
03:01 not only to ensure security and order,
03:04 but also to provide assistance.
03:07 So to our fellow countrymen who will be traveling this weekend,
03:09 don't hesitate to approach them if you need anything.
03:14 Emil.
03:15 Thank you very much, Chino Gaston.
