00:00Live from the GMA Network Center,
00:0420 years have passed since the pandemic started.
00:11Good evening, John Visayas and Mindanao.
00:15The number of terminals that will travel for Christmas and New Year is increasing.
00:19It is expected that it will increase in the next few days,
00:22but for now, many are already full.
00:25The security of many terminals has also been tightened,
00:29just like in Paranaque, where passengers are usually dropped off.
00:33Let's take a look at the situation there in the live coverage of Oscar Oida.
00:37Oscar.
00:40Yes, Mel, Emil, Vicky, compared to yesterday,
00:43there are more passengers here in Paranaque Integrated Terminal Exchange
00:49as of 6 p.m.
00:50The number has reached more than 146,000.
00:54It is hard to believe that Ms. Merlyn is the one we saw earlier here at PITX.
01:03It's not even 9 a.m. yet, and she's already here.
01:06But it will be daybreak in the afternoon.
01:08She still hasn't gotten a ticket to Sursugon on December 28.
01:13Most of the trips today are already fully booked.
01:18If it's hard, it's really hard.
01:20You have to work hard to go home.
01:23Because it's for the family.
01:25Why 28?
01:26Because it's our vacation with my husband.
01:29I'm going home.
01:31But Ms. Merlyn is still lucky,
01:33because there's also a vacant seat in the afternoon.
01:37If PITX is going to be full,
01:40passengers will still be able to drive to their terminal.
01:46They just need to be patient in queuing.
01:49Because we've already estimated this through the years.
01:52We have data to base this.
01:54That's why we have additional units on standby
01:57in case this is needed in a particular destination.
02:00At the same time, we talked to DOT and LTFRB
02:03to issue special permits if necessary.
02:06Right there and then.
02:07So that our countrymen won't be hindered in their travel.
02:10Compared to yesterday, there are more passengers here now.
02:14It's possible that the total number will reach 200,000 today.
02:19The waiting areas are now full.
02:23Of course, that's how it is.
02:27It's important because it's Christmas.
02:30It's important to be together.
02:33All in all, from December 20 to January 6,
02:36at least three million passengers
02:39are expected to pass through PITX.
02:42This afternoon, security inspection was conducted here at PITX.
02:46NCRPO Chief Police Brigadier General Anthony Averin
02:50to make sure that the police deployment is in order
02:53at the said terminal.
02:55We saw that they are ready.
03:01The full deployment of our police is already underway.
03:05The manager said that there were no reported crime incidents
03:09within the day and the past few days.
03:13Passengers also arrived at the bus terminal in Daguban City
03:16for Christmas and New Year's greetings.
03:20The situation at the bus terminal in Cebu City is not far away
03:24where the number of passengers is also decreasing.
03:28At Davao City Overland Transport Terminal,
03:31the inspection of passengers and luggage is tight.
03:36The terminal manager reminded us to be careful of the modes.
03:41We should be careful of the mode of intercepting
03:44passengers and luggage.
03:46For example, they will pretend that they have luggage
03:49and then they will bring or take it.
03:55Meanwhile, according to NCRPO,
03:57if they need to add more police here at PITX,
04:02especially in the next few days,
04:04more passengers are expected to arrive.
04:07Back to you, Vicky.
04:09Thank you very much, Oscar Oida.
04:12And the ship's trip to Manila North Port is also fully booked.
04:17In Naia, the visitors will start arriving.
04:21And Joseph Moro is live there.
04:24Joseph.
04:28Vicky, more passengers are arriving at our airports
04:32and here at Naia Terminal 3,
04:34there are scenes of reunions
04:36that we have witnessed for a long time.
04:42The scenes at the airport are full of love
04:45whenever Christmas comes.
04:47Parents who come home from abroad
04:49for even a short moment,
04:51they can be with their loved ones again.
04:53This is Jonathan, who works in Taiwan.
04:56He changes with the child who is waiting for him
04:59until...
05:02...
05:04Jonathan has only been with him twice,
05:08the 4-year-old child since he was born.
05:11I was also in Taiwan when he was born.
05:14Did you see him there?
05:16Yes, for a month and now again.
05:18How do you feel?
05:20I'm happy.
05:21This year, Liza is in the Philippines
05:23to celebrate Christmas even though
05:25her vacation is only for 17 days.
05:27I'm happy.
05:29I'm with my family, of course.
05:31If there are people coming,
05:33there are also people leaving.
05:35Like Mang Boy, who is out of the country
05:37to celebrate Christmas
05:39because his son will be free
05:41in Macau for his vacation.
05:43Vacation in Macau.
05:45According to MIA,
05:47they are expecting the peak
05:49or the largest number of passengers
05:51at the airport on December 22,
05:53this Christmas holiday.
05:55If you have a trip this Christmas holiday,
05:57MIA recommends 2 hours before your domestic flight.
06:00For international flights,
06:023 hours before your domestic flight
06:04is what you need.
06:06Now, it's 4 hours.
06:08According to MIA,
06:10baggage systems and aircon have been repaired
06:12to avoid accidents,
06:14especially during this peak season.
06:16We have not received any reports
06:18of breakdowns
06:20or any issues
06:22surrounding the baggage handling
06:24systems in all terminals.
06:26As of now,
06:28the average number of passengers
06:30at the airport is 4.3 million.
06:32For the entire holiday season,
06:344.3 million passengers
06:36will be expected
06:38to use flights.
06:404.5 million passengers
06:42are expected by the Philippine Ports Authority
06:44or PPA
06:46to the ports throughout the country
06:48until January 5.
06:50In Manila North Port,
06:52the provinces will be returning
06:54to the province for Christmas.
06:57That's where it's forbidden.
06:59It's an area.
07:01According to PPA,
07:03they are not cancelling flights
07:05to the provinces
07:07in the face of a low-pressure area
07:09in Mindanao.
07:11Our flights to the provinces are still ongoing.
07:13Of course, the suspension
07:15is made by announcements
07:17by the Philippine Coast Guard.
07:19They are also expecting a peak
07:21in December 22.
07:23According to the shipping company
07:25until December 24.
07:27There will be no flights
07:29until December 25.
07:31They will return to operation
07:33on December 26.
07:35Vicky,
07:37in these moments,
07:39as you can see,
07:41our countrymen have no choice
07:43but to travel out of Manila.
07:45December 22 will be even worse.
07:47It will be difficult
07:49for you to choose a flight.
07:51Remember, Vicky,
07:54you have 3 hours to choose
07:56and 4 for international flights.
07:58Thank you very much,
08:00Joseph Moro.

11:42It's just that we have to implement

12:08How was your trip?
12:10We just woke up.
12:12It's okay, he's already leaving.
12:14If not, you can go.
12:16He was given a license by the enforcer.
12:18But the reasons
12:20for the illegal parking
12:22were not satisfied.
12:24You are not allowed to park here
12:26even for a moment.
12:28This is a lay-by.
12:30Do you have a license?
12:32If you have a license,
12:34you should be allowed to park in a lay-by.
12:36Even during Christmas or New Year,
12:38MMDA enforcers will not be allowed

12:42For GMA Integrated News,

13:30Mapua will enjoy their victory
13:32but is determined to prepare
13:34for the next NCAA season.
13:36Congratulations to you,
13:38Mapua University!
13:44More than a decade has passed
13:46since the construction
13:48of the GMA Capuso Foundation
13:50of the Capuso Schools in Rizal.
13:52Many calamities
13:54have happened
13:56to these schools
13:58and they cannot be hidden.
14:00This Christmas,
14:02we have a beautiful gift
14:04for teachers and students.
14:10Leticia is taking care
14:12of her eight-year-old grandson,
14:14Denden, while her father
14:16is working.
14:18There is a rumor that
14:20there is a Capuso School
14:22that will not be difficult
14:24to bring your grandson to school,
14:26especially when he is old.
14:28I am thankful to the Lord God
14:30and to the GMA Capuso Foundation
14:32because the GMA Capuso
14:34is really reliable.
14:38The storms
14:40that hit our schools
14:42also helped.
14:44But there are also
14:46Capuso Schools
14:48that cannot be saved
14:50like the Matagbak Elementary
14:52School in Pililya.
14:54We were hit by a storm
14:56that hit
14:58half of the doors
15:00of our GMA building
15:02that was hit
15:04by water.
15:06The windows were damaged
15:08and the doors
15:10were also painted.
15:12The building was not
15:14repaired.
15:16Although it looks strong,
15:18it is old.
15:20That is why this Christmas,
15:22we have a gift for teachers
15:24and students in Rizal.
15:26Because of the help
15:28that we have accumulated,
15:30we will do
15:32a large-scale
15:34rehabilitation project
15:36here in our
15:38Capuso Schools
15:40in Rizal.
15:42As part of the
15:44Capuso Schools in Rodriguez,
15:46Tanay, and Pililya,
15:48we also gave
15:50give-a-gift bags
15:52to 2,855 students
15:54including Deng Deng.
15:56Our GMA Capuso
