00:00Let's first take a look at the situation in Paranaque Integrated Terminal Exchange or PITX.
00:06Where the buses are fully booked until December 31.
00:10Oscar Oida is on the spot.
00:14Oscar!
00:20Paranaque Integrated Terminal Exchange or PITX.
00:23And as you can see behind me, there are no more passengers coming to this terminal.
00:30This is compared to the tight security of the terminal.
00:35As we can see, every item that is brought in here is thoroughly checked
00:40to make sure that they will not be robbed by any smugglers.
00:44There is no doubt that in the past few days,
00:46there were still a few smugglers who took the security of the PITX,
00:50such as small items like scissors.
00:53There were even firecrackers.
00:55This is a warning to our fellow countrymen.
00:58This is a warning to our fellow countrymen.
01:00This is a warning to our fellow countrymen.
01:02As of 10 a.m., more than 67,000 passengers arrived here at the PITX.
01:08And I can also say that on December 23 last year,
01:12it was reported that the maximum number of passengers in the PITX reached 204,000.
01:17So it won't be long before that number will reach more than that.
01:20In fact, in the queues of tickets, the line is now a blockbuster.
01:26Bung Chagang, Puhi Pila, our fellow countrymen are in a long line
01:30waiting to get an ordinary ticket.
01:34Because most of the air-conditioned buses are already fully booked.
01:40The PITX leadership said that they are ready to add more flights.
01:45We are sure that our fellow countrymen will be able to travel to the PITX this Christmas.
01:51Rafi, Connie?
01:52Oscar, if there are no additional flights,
01:55what is the alternative for those who have run out of tickets?
02:02Well, if you ask the PITX leadership,
02:08they are sure that there will be more.
02:11But you have to be patient in the line
02:14because the situation will be like a walk-in Rafi.
02:17Meaning, every day that you arrive, you will be in a line.
02:22When a bus arrives, you will ride it.
02:25It's not like a reservation where you are already checking your tickets.
02:30Here, you have a ticket.
02:32The question is, when?
02:34That's why the passengers here are rushing to get a seat
02:39so that they can arrive on Christmas
02:42and be with their loved ones this year.
02:45Rafi?
02:46And there are no people who are tired of it, Oscar,
02:48who are still bringing tickets.
02:50Do you still have fellow countrymen?
02:55Well, as of this moment, Rafi,
02:57we still don't have data on that.
02:59But previously, this December 21 and 22, if I'm not mistaken,
03:03there are still people who are bringing things,
03:06like butane, and firecrackers.
03:10That's why we are worried that there will be no one to accompany you on your trip.
03:15It's really hard because there are so many people.
03:17It's hard to ride a bus.
03:19You have to bring things that are prohibited.
03:21You will really be worried.
03:23Not only you, but other people here will also be affected
03:26if you bring these things.
03:28So, as much as possible, let's avoid that
03:31so that everyone can travel properly this Christmas.
03:34Rafi?
03:35Thank you very much, Oscar Oida.
