00:12 (Bus Terminal News)
00:15 Yes, Emil. A while ago, the bus terminal workers were already on their way home
00:21 before the new year.
00:23 Just a while ago, there were no more bus terminals in Edsa, Quezon City.
00:34 The official said that the workers wanted to go home early
00:38 but they were hoping to have a chance to pass because the bus terminal is fully booked.
00:43 We miss our family because we are doing an internship here in Manila.
00:48 We want our family to be together this new year.
00:54 Aileen is a dietitian. She already finished her regular trip to Bicol.
00:59 I don't have any problem even if it's just an ordinary or air-con.
01:03 I don't have any problem because I have an emergency.
01:06 My husband died. I just want to leave now.
01:11 We also have a lot of chance passengers who reached the Victory Liner Terminal in Edsa, Camias.
01:17 Most of them are going to Tuguegarao and Isabela.
01:21 We don't have any plan.
01:23 My son and I just got here.
01:25 A while ago, we were already there.
01:27 It's our first time to go home from a vacation like this.
01:33 It's hard to ride a bus.
01:36 Mommy, just wait there. We will go home soon.
01:40 When the bus company is about to leave,
01:42 they have enough bus to serve the passengers who are waiting for the bus.
01:47 We got special permit so we can add more passengers.
01:53 For the volume of passengers, the chance passengers,
01:58 those who have special permit can go to their destination
02:03 so that they can also carry the chance passengers.
02:05 Because we really expect a lot of passengers.
02:08 There are still no passengers from other bus terminals in the area.
02:11 But tomorrow, they are expected to arrive.
02:14 There are still a lot of buses going to Batangas and Mangasinan,
02:17 as well as buses going to Olongapo City, Baguio City and Bulacan.
02:22 It's not ending. The traffic is being delayed.
02:26 But we have a lot of buses deployed in each terminal.
02:30 Meanwhile, at 4 in the afternoon,
02:34 the number of passengers in PITX has reached 87,000.
02:38 It's possible that it will reach up to 150,000 today.
02:43 The travel expenses are fully booked.
02:47 Again, passengers are being reminded
02:50 not to use prohibited items such as butane, gasoline,
02:55 fireworks, and other things.
02:58 Until a while ago, there are still a lot of passengers in PITX.
03:03 Butane, firecrackers, and kuchilyo are the most.
03:06 Emil, the LTFRB has confirmed that there are enough buses to carry the public.
03:14 They have issued more than 1,000 special permits
03:18 so that more people can travel. Emil?
03:21 Thank you very much, Oscar Oida.
