00:00Buses in PITX are already crowded, especially those going to Bicol.

00:06But some passengers are still hesitating to get a ticket to go home before Christmas.

00:13Oscar Mayland is live on the news.

00:16Oscar, are there still long queues for passengers?

00:21Melsa, more than 183,000 passengers are already queuing at Panayake Integrated Terminal Exchange or PITX as of 6 p.m.

00:3412 P.M.

00:42At 12 p.m., this woman fell asleep while waiting in line to buy a ticket.

00:50Her cell phone was in her bag.

00:54There was no one to help her.

01:00Fortunately, she was able to get through and the patrolmen woke her up.

01:04Take your cell phones. Be careful.

01:07That's why she was already in line before 7 a.m.

01:11She was waiting in line to buy a ticket for her trip to Bicol.

01:16I was waiting in line for a long time.

01:19Judit is not alone.

01:21She is one of the people queuing in the black-buster line since this morning.

01:28Most of the people who travel to Bicol, especially those who travel by air, are already fully booked.

01:34Some of them want to go home early.

01:38We have work. We are busy with work.

01:40The company is not allowing us to go out early.

01:45The PITX was the first to confirm that they are ready to add more buses.

01:51They are just sure that passengers will be able to travel to their terminal.

01:57Actually, sir, our fully booked trips are advanced booking.

02:01Those who want to walk today can still do so.

02:04At the same time, we are adding more trips.

02:07For the others, we will just wait for our buses to come back here.

02:11Despite the recommendation of the authorities,

02:14until a while ago, there are still some things that are prohibited,

02:19such as petrol, gasoline, butane, and here, gasoline.

02:25Hopefully, for the others, we will not bring flammable items,

02:28especially firearms and firewoods.

02:31The K-9 units will return later to make the security more secure.

02:37Just this afternoon, almost 100,000 passengers have already arrived here at the PITX.

02:43That is why it is crowded, especially in the waiting areas.

02:47Some of them are already waiting in line.

02:50It is fun to go home even if we don't have money.

02:54It is fun to be with our family.

02:57For the others, they have already been here for two days.

03:00They are sure that they will be able to go home.

03:03It is hard.

03:05I am at the entrance of the ticket gate,

03:09and my brother is at the exit gate.

03:12We are forced to go home during the summer.

03:15We really need to go home.

03:16We can only go home once in a while.

03:20Last year, on December 23,

03:22the number of passengers was recorded as more than 204,000.

03:32Meanwhile, Mel, the PITX is expecting that

03:37they will continue to bring passengers until tomorrow.

03:42But compared to today, it is not that crowded.

03:46Mel?

03:47Good bye, dear Oskar!
