00:00After a long holiday break, many of our countrymen went back to work.
00:05Some of them, early in the morning, waited for their vehicles because the heavy traffic was expected again.
00:10Live from Quezon City, we have the first news, James Agustin.
00:15James, what is your location and how is the traffic there?
00:22Good morning. I am here now in the area of Commonwealth Avenue in Litex.
00:26And now, the road is still wide and there are not that many passengers this morning.
00:32But it looks like some of our countrymen still have a holiday hangover.
00:36But because it's back to work this morning, they need to go back to work.
00:40And some passengers traveled early here in Commonwealth Avenue so that they won't be late for their work.
00:48It's past 4 in the morning and there are a lot of passengers in this part of Commonwealth Avenue in the area of Litex.
00:54Our countrymen are back to work this morning.
00:57But are they ready to go back to work after a long holiday?
01:00We are ready. We need to go back to work.
01:03We need to rest. Our leave is over.
01:09We need to go back to work because our vacation is only for a short period of time.
01:15I am still lazy. I think we still have a lot of time.
01:18We need to go back to work because we have to go to work.
01:22It looks like some of our countrymen still have a holiday hangover.
01:25But they still woke up early to go back to work.
01:28Like Rose Ana Pauwi for Indang Cavite.
01:31She went back to work after her vacation with her cousin here in Quezon City.
01:34It's hard to go back to work at this time because some of our countrymen are already back to work.
01:40Rodrigo is a hard worker.
01:43He's used to driving public transportation.
01:46Sometimes it's hard and sometimes it's easy.
01:48It's hard.
01:50Yes. Especially when it's a holiday.
01:53SP is also waiting to go to North Avenue.
01:58It's hard to drive because there are a lot of people.
02:01It's the first day of the new year.
02:04You know, there's a lot of traffic. You need to go early.
02:08The first day of work feels like a new year.
02:11There are pedestrians who are just running around.
02:14There are already a lot of pedestrians in their buses.
02:17On the other hand, being on time is one of the goals of the pedestrians we talked to this year.
02:23I don't want to be late. I avoid being late.
02:27You need to go to work early to be on time.
02:31We don't want to be scolded.
02:37Meanwhile, Ivan, this is the situation here in the Commonwealth Avenue area of Litex.
02:42There are not that many pedestrians.
02:44They are being chased by the MMDA here in Mebandang Gili.
02:47Because earlier, they were blocking the first lane, which is near the bike lane.
02:51There are also people here by the MMDA who are on the side of the traffic.
02:55Let's take a look at the traffic situation.
02:57This is the Commonwealth Avenue, the westbound lane that leads to the area of Elliptical Road.
03:02It's very wide.
03:03You know, there's no work today.
03:06On the other lane, the eastbound lane that leads to the area of Fairview,
03:10the traffic situation is wider this morning.
03:13That's the first news.
03:14From Quezon City, I'm James Agustin for GMA Integrated News.
