00:00We'll be together in a moment.
00:08Taxi!
00:16The warehouse of FD Harrison in Pasay City was heavily flooded.
00:20According to the workers in the warehouse,
00:22they heard an explosion after getting stocks.
00:25Some residents are asking for help before the fire.
00:28The investigation continues to find out the cause and importance of the fire.
00:35Many families are gathering this Christmas Eve
00:38for food for Noche Buena,
00:40or in churches for the traditional Christmas Eve Mass.
00:44But for other Filipinos in Bicol and Southern Luzon,
00:48the rain and flood are pernicious when it's Christmas.
00:51And for others, on the streets of Noche Buena,
00:54while traveling, they are sent home to their provinces.
00:59This is the situation of some passengers in Paranaque Integrated Terminal Exchange, or PITX.
01:04And the other passengers are from other countries.
01:07Witness, Niko Wahe.
01:10Niko?
01:14Tia, it's already Christmas Eve,
01:16but many of our countrymen are going home to their provinces.
01:21Some of them even finished their work yesterday.
01:29Many are busy preparing for Noche Buena at this time.
01:33But some of our countrymen are still traveling to their provinces
01:37and on the streets where Christmas is approaching.
01:40Like Emerson, who was still here at PITX at 5 p.m.
01:44and is waiting for his 7 p.m. trip to Albay.
01:47He had to finish his work as a surveyor in Tagaytay yesterday.
01:51I should have finished at 23 p.m.
01:54I should have finished at 23 p.m. yesterday.
01:57But our bus didn't let me because we have to go to Bukasan tomorrow.
02:02And it's already dawn.
02:04So I went home yesterday.
02:07But he said it's okay because he can still go home
02:10and his loved ones will still be with him until January 5.
02:14My son, I'm already here at the terminal.
02:16I'm also going home, Niko.
02:18So tomorrow, I'll be there.
02:20The reason why Masbate's technician, Christian, is going home is also a work.
02:26I'm really busy with work.
02:28And I can't leave the area that I haven't finished yet.
02:34I have to finish everything before Christmas and New Year.
02:39He's sure that he'll be there tomorrow.
02:42The bus trip to Pio Duran in Albay is 12 hours long
02:45and 3 hours by boat through Masbate.
02:48How will he watch Buena later?
02:50I'll just have a midnight snack on the way.
02:52And if others are chasing Christmas in the province,
02:55JC is eager to reach Magsaysay Occidental, Mindoro.
03:00He took an emergency leave from work in Saudi Arabia
03:02to be able to attend his father's funeral.
03:05This is his saddest Christmas.
03:08I talked to them.
03:09I told them that as long as I can't make it,
03:11they should extend the delay so that I can reach my father
03:15until his last moments.
03:17It's hard for me to accept that I was burdened with tiredness
03:22so that I can support them.
03:24Then you'll hear that you're not with them.
03:29The problem is, it looks like he can still eat his time waiting for the bus
03:33because he didn't make it to the bus stop.
03:36The next trip is tomorrow morning.
03:38We need to make it through the night
03:41because you know, it's Buena now.
03:44My father was injured.
03:46We were really chasing the bus.
03:48He'll just ride the bus to Batangas Port
03:50and if possible, if there's a trip to Calapan
03:53and to their hometown.
03:55JC is just one of more than 140,000 passengers
03:58who went to the PITX this Christmas Eve
04:01to catch the bus home.
04:03That number is as of 5 p.m.
04:05That number is lower than more than 232,000 passengers
04:09who came here yesterday.
04:11Although there are fewer people,
04:13the PITX is still safe today.
04:19PIA, as of 9 p.m.,
04:21186,390 passengers came to the PITX today.
04:27And until now,
04:29the number of passengers who wanted to catch their home
04:35and celebrate Christmas is still increasing.
04:38And live from the PITX,
04:40for GMA Integrated News,
04:42Merry Christmas, Kapuso!
04:44I'm Nico Jae.
04:45Your witness.

04:51the Peruvian flood that swept the shire line
04:53in some parts of Southern Luzon and Bicol Region.
04:56Some barangays in Camarinas Sur were isolated
04:58while a town in Oriental Mindoro
05:00was in a state of calamity.
05:02Our witness.
05:07Whenever Christmas Eve comes,
05:09it's a heavy downpour in Del Gallego, Camarinas Sur.
05:12Two large spillways were flooded,
05:15which is why five barangays are isolated.
05:17According to the forecast,
05:18the shire line,
05:19or the collision of hot and cold air,
05:22is what causes flooding in some parts of Bicol Region.
05:28The shire line also caused flooding in Southern Luzon.
05:31In Peras, Quezon,
05:32the water level is up to 5 in some places.
05:35Many houses were flooded.
05:37A rope was used to evacuate residents in a barangay.
05:41Some parts of Lopez were also flooded.
05:44Also in Atimonan and Tagkawayan.
05:48The National Highway of Northern Oriental Mindoro
05:50was also flooded.
05:51According to MDRRMO,
05:53the river overflowed in the neighboring town of Victoria
05:56after the earth dived,
05:57in the middle of the rain,
05:59and the water level was very high.
06:01All barangays were affected because of the flood.
06:03At the same time,
06:04the state of calamity was affected
06:05because of the heavy flooding.
06:06It has been two weeks now
06:07that there is almost non-stop rain.
06:09If the rain continues,
06:11the flood may last up to four years.
06:14Almost all barangays were affected by the flood
06:16because of the continuous rain.
06:19If you look closely,
06:20you can see that it is still affected.
06:22The deepest part,
06:23as you can see now,
06:24there are probably 15 barangays.
06:30The rescue of Red Cross
06:32from the troughs
06:33in almost four areas of flood

07:08For GMA Integrated News,
07:10Marisol Abduraman
07:12is your witness.
07:16A tragedy happened
07:17to seven children
07:18who were killed
07:19after they fell off a tree
07:20while riding
07:21a utility van

07:23And in Enlex, Pampanga,
07:24more than 30 people were injured
07:26after they lost control,
07:27rolled around,
07:28and a minibus fell.
07:30Witness,
07:31Jonathan Andal.
07:40In the middle of Enlex,
07:41the children of this minibus
07:43were injured
07:44while crying.
07:46They were in an accident
07:47last night at 9 a.m.
07:49Sit down first.
07:56Children,

08:04Sit down.
08:06Sit down.
08:08Passengers saw
08:09a hole in the back
08:10of the minibus.
08:18Help!
08:19Help!
08:20Help!
08:21Help!
08:23The elderly
08:24was crying.
08:26I just rolled the tissue
08:27earlier
08:28and rubbed it
08:29on him.
08:30The elderly
08:31couldn't move.
08:33But
08:34he was able
08:35to open his eyes.
08:36One of the severely injured
08:38in the minibus
08:39is a one-year-old child.
08:41According to Enlex,
08:42in the initial investigation,
08:43the minibus
08:44and an AUV
08:45were following
08:46in the innermost lane.
08:47The minibus
08:48lost control,
08:49rolled around
08:50in front of the AUV,
08:51collided,
08:52and the minibus
08:53fell off the tree.
08:54It was like a self-accident.
08:55Allegedly,
08:56the driver
08:57in the initial investigation
08:58heard a noise
08:59in their vehicle.
09:02I'm not so sure
09:03if it was on the engine,
09:04but there was a noise.
09:05Then suddenly,
09:06he lost control.
09:07He was going north.
09:08When he lost control,
09:09he turned around
09:10and was facing south.
09:12So,
09:13towards
09:14head-on with the Innova
09:15is what happened.
09:1731 people
09:18were rushed to
09:19JBL Hospital

09:24who is now critical
09:25in the ICU.
09:26A 10-year-old
09:27was the youngest
09:28among the injured.
09:29My back
09:30hurt so much.
09:31I couldn't move
09:32my body.
09:35I couldn't move
09:36my entire body.
09:37I was shocked.
09:40Suddenly,
09:41someone shouted
09:42and suddenly,
09:44the bus
09:45started moving
09:46and then,
09:47I fell down.
09:48You fell down?
09:49Yes.
09:50Passenger
09:51Catherine Aragon
09:52was being
09:53massaged on her head.
09:54I did my best
09:55for my grandchild.
09:57I want him
09:58to be safe
09:59and I want him
10:00to be with me.
10:01But according to
10:02San Fernando Police,
10:03the version of the driver
10:04of the minibus
10:05and the AUV
10:06is different.
10:07The version of
10:08the Innova
10:09lost control
10:10due to the jeepney
10:11that's why
10:12it hit his head.
10:13The Rarmix
10:14minibus
10:15said that
10:16there was a strong impact
10:17on his back
10:18that's why
10:19he lost control.
10:20The minibus
10:21was not overloaded
10:22but it had
10:23a lot of capacity.
10:24Both were detained
10:25at the police station.
10:26Two drivers
10:27were filing
10:28complaints
10:29against each other.
10:30In Tupi,
10:31South Cotabato,
10:32seven children
10:33were killed
10:34after their
10:35utility van
10:36collided with a tree.
10:37Two of the victims
10:38were 6 and 7 years old.
10:39Due to the strong impact,
10:40some of the drivers
10:41of the van
10:42fell down
10:43and hit the road.
10:44According to the police,
10:45the victims
10:46came from Pasyala
10:47and the van
10:48was about to be
10:49taken home
10:50when the driver
10:51lost control.
10:52The driver
10:53was able to get
10:54out of the station
10:55by pulling off
10:56the handbrake
10:57but unfortunately
10:58the vehicle
10:59was swerved off
11:00and hit a tree.
11:01It's possible
11:02that the driver
11:03was facing
11:04reckless imprudence
11:05resulting in
11:06homicide
11:07when he was
