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.

03:03especially when the total ban on fireworks in Baguio City is being implemented.
03:07According to police records,

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!
