00:00Many families are gathering this Christmas Eve for food for Noche Buena or Churches for the traditional Christmas Eve Mass.
00:10But for other Filipinos in Bicol and Southern Luzon, the rain and flood are prohibited during Christmas.
00:17And for others, on the streets of Noche Buena, while traveling, they are allowed to go home to their provinces.
00:24This is the situation of some passengers in the Paranaque Integrated Terminal Exchange or PITX.
00:29And the other passengers are from other countries.
00:32Watch out! This is Niko Wahe.
00:35Niko?
00:39Pia, Christmas Eve is over but many of our countrymen are going home to their provinces.
00:46Some of them even finished their work yesterday.
00:53Many are busy preparing for Noche Buena during this time.
01:00But some of our countrymen are still traveling to their provinces and on the streets during Christmas.
01:07Like Emerson, who is still here in the PITX at 5 p.m. and is waiting for the 7 p.m. flight to Albay.
01:14He had to finish his work as a surveyor in Tagaytay yesterday.
01:18I was supposed to go home yesterday at 11 p.m. but our bus didn't allow me because we have to go to Bukasan by bus.
01:27And it's already late. So I went home yesterday.
01:32But he said it's okay because he can still go home and his loved ones will be with him until January 5.
01:39My children, I'm already here at the terminal and I'll go home tomorrow.
01:45The reason why the technician, Christian, is going home early is also a reason for his work.
01:51I'm really busy with my work and I can't leave the area that is not yet finished.
01:59I have to finish everything before Christmas and New Year.
02:04He is sure that he will arrive tomorrow.
02:07The bus ride to Pio Duran in Albay is 12 hours and the boat ride to Masbate is 3 hours.
02:13How will he spend his night later?
02:15I'll just have a midnight snack on the road.
02:17And if others are chasing Christmas in the province,
02:20JC, the son of his father, wants to reach Magsaysay Occidental, Mindoro.
02:25He took an emergency leave from his job in Saudi Arabia to be able to bring his father's last gift.
02:30This is his saddest Christmas.
02:33I talked to them. I said, as long as I can't make it,
02:36I'll just extend my last gift so that I can reach my father until his last moments.
02:42It's hard to accept that you put a lot of effort to support them
02:49and then you'll be told that you're not with them anymore.
02:54The problem is, it looks like he can still eat his time waiting for the bus because he didn't make it on time.
03:01Our next trip is tomorrow morning.
03:03We need to make it through the night.
03:06You know, it's raining now.
03:10My father got hit by a car.
03:11We were really chasing the trip.
03:13He said that he will ride in a Batangas sport.
03:15And if there is a trip to Calapan and home of his hometown,
03:20JC is one of the more than 140,000 passengers who went to PITX this Christmas Eve
03:26to be able to catch their way home.
03:28That number is as of 5 p.m.
03:30That number is lower than the 232,000 passengers who went to PITX yesterday.
03:36Although there are fewer people, the security of PITX is still tight today.
03:45PIA, as of 9 p.m., 186,390 passengers went to PITX today.
03:53Until now, there are still passengers who want to catch their way home and celebrate Christmas.
04:03And live from PITX for GMA Integrated News,
04:07Merry Christmas, Kapuso!
04:09I'm Nico Jae, your witness.
04:12Kapuso, be the first witness.
