00:23Good morning. The situation in some bus terminals in Cubao and Quezon City is still calm.

00:32But this morning, some of our countrymen have decided to travel back to their provinces.
00:41Joseph has been at the bus terminal in Cubao for the whole night.
00:44He traveled via Marinas Norte for Ondas.
00:47He said that he left his job today to avoid the passing of passengers.
00:51We thought that there will be a lot of passengers today.
00:54That's why I came here early in the morning.
00:57So that I can get a seat.
01:00Last year, there were a lot of passengers.
01:04Bong has been in Quezon for a few months without his children.
01:08He said that he will enjoy his five-day vacation.

01:23Albay and Camarines Sur are not full yet.
01:25There are also ordinary buses that passengers can ride.
01:28It's almost afternoon because of the passengers here at the bus terminal.
01:32We are directly traveling via Camarines Norte, Camarines Sur, Albay, and in the mountains of Quezon Province.
01:42At this bus terminal, the trips to Pangasinan are not full yet.
01:46But some trips to Baguio are fully booked.
01:48Bella and her niece are traveling to Pangasinan early in the morning.

01:54But now, it's cloudy.
01:56We are trying to avoid the traffic and the crowds.
02:02Tomorrow is Friday.
02:07We are going to Pintura.
02:09That's where my husband died.
02:12It's hard for our commuters, the trans passengers.
02:15That's why we have extra buses for the walk-in passengers.
02:19This bus terminal also has extra buses for the trips to Bulacan and Nueva Ecija.
02:23Later in the afternoon, the passengers are expected to arrive early.
02:26Some passengers chose to travel early to avoid the crowds.
02:29To avoid the crowds.
02:33How long have you been there on vacation?
02:36About a week.
02:39In the past, we had a long queue.
02:43It was hard for us.
02:45But now, it's not that hard.
02:47We wake up at 2 AM.
02:54Meanwhile, there are police assistance desks here at the bus terminals that we visited.
02:58They can go to the passengers if they have a problem.
03:02They don't have to call the police.
03:05Aside from the patrols that we saw at the bus terminals,
03:08the MMDA also added more forces because they are allowing the provincial buses
03:13to pass through the EDSA bus terminal.
03:15That's the first news from Cabao, Quezon City.
03:17I'm James Agustin for GME Integrated News.
