00:00Meanwhile, our countrymen here, aside from Divisoria,
00:06we have a lot of countrymen who went up to Baguio
00:10to celebrate the new year.
00:13Let's find out the situation there through our guest,
00:16EJ Gomez, who is live in Baguio City.
00:20EJ?
00:21Susan, it's been a few hours and it's already the new year here in Baguio City.
00:32Each of us has our own way of celebrating the new year.
00:37It's the official start of the year 2025.
00:41There are some who, even though it's still early and cold,
00:45are already going to different tourist spots like this ride park right in front of the mansion.
00:56Last hurrah for 2024.
00:58As the new year approaches,
01:01Filipinos have their own way of spending the remaining time of the year.
01:06Here in Baguio City, there are a lot of visitors to different tourist spots.
01:12In Minds View Park,
01:13there are a lot of people taking pictures of the famous St. Bernard's dogs and colorful horses.
01:19There are also a lot of people spending time with loved ones in the mansion,
01:23ride park, and botanical garden.
01:26And because there are a lot of kids,
01:28the Bernham Park is full of visitors who go biking and boat riding.
01:34For many, the Baguio experience is not complete if you don't go to the night market.
01:39Those who choose to go to the night market are the ones who save on the cheap prices.
01:43The businessmen, on the other hand,
01:45earn up to triple or more every holiday season.
01:51For my own, I have two jackets and one trouser.
01:55And her two jackets, about 1,000 pesos.
02:01We are winners in quality.
02:03We are just able to get our sales back.
02:05There are a lot of visitors now from Christmas until the new year.
02:09Later at 6 p.m.,
02:11the free concert of Baguio City LGU will be held in Bernham Park.
02:15It will be followed by the 2025 countdown
02:18for everyone who will be alone in the city to celebrate the new year.
02:22Those who will be playing musical renditions during the concert would be local bands.
02:28And heading towards the countdown, we will be expecting our grand fireworks display.
02:35The local government and the police are on full alert for the new year festivities in Baguio City.
02:40The command center of the LGU is also on 24-7.
02:44We can say that the Baguio City Police Office is prepared.
02:49Around 85 PNP personnel will be deployed.
02:55They will be deployed in Bernham because it is located in Salung Bukin.
02:59The public was also reminded to avoid using any kind of fireworks,
03:03especially when the total ban on fireworks in Baguio City is being implemented.
03:07According to police records,
03:09there are more than 2,000 registered fireworks.
03:20Susan, the temperature here in Baguio City is around 16 degrees Celsius.
03:26The Baguio City Tourism Office is expecting more people to visit the City of Pines on the last day of 2024.
03:34That is why the Baguio City LGU is advising the public,
03:38those who will be going and those who will be staying until the new year festivities are over,
03:42to be patient.
03:46Be patient with the traffic, parking and queues in the places that they will be going.
03:52Happy New Year!
