00:18out of the 161,000 who left and arrived, the number of domestic passengers increased.
00:23We deployed more people.
00:26We deployed more than 30 immigration personnel to help line up.
00:34We have also in place our mobile counters.
00:38The people of the Bureau of Immigration can now say Merry Christmas to the passengers.
00:43But there are some reminders.
00:44Let's show our hospitality.
00:46But it is prohibited to receive gifts.

00:50Batangas Port was temporarily closed yesterday after the earthquake.
00:55We stopped and closed it because it was really full.
00:57We filled it up.
00:59We put a barrier so that it can be seen.
01:02Some were proud because they were the first ones to ride.
01:05But there are a lot of people who missed their schedules.

01:29The average daily food traffic here in Batangas is 6,000.
01:33So last Friday, we have 20,000 plus.
01:36Saturday is 25,000.
01:38Yesterday, Sunday, is 26,000 plus.
01:41If there are this many passengers, the boat is not enough.
01:44According to the Philippine Ports Authority,
01:46it is good if the online ticketing system is made mandatory.
