00:00For those who are planning to travel back to their provinces this Christmas,
00:05they are already in a hurry because some bus terminals are already fully booked.
00:09Live from Quezon City, we have the first news, James Agustin.
00:13James?
00:18Good morning.
00:19We just received news that some of our fellow countrymen are already traveling back to their provinces
00:23to avoid being stuck in the bus terminals,
00:26especially since Christmas is just a few days away.
00:28Many air-conditioned buses are already fully booked,
00:32but some of our fellow countrymen are still able to ride ordinary buses.
00:41Many air-conditioned buses are already fully booked at this terminal in Cubao, Quezon City.
00:46For example, Patungong Kamarines Norte is already fully booked from today until December 30.
00:52The same goes for the trips to Legazpi, tomorrow until December 29.
00:56There are already a lot of reservations because we opened our reservations on November 15.
01:01That's why there are already a lot of people booking their reservations.
01:04For those who don't have a reservation, they can ride first-come, first-served ordinary buses.
01:10It is expected that it will be a longer trip because only one lane is used on the Andaya Highway in Kamarines Sur,
01:16which is affected by heavy rain.
01:18The traffic is slow there.
01:20This is a big effect, sir, because the trip takes a long time.
01:24Instead of making the trip faster, it's taking longer because there's a lot of traffic.
01:30Sir, there's a one-way and there's a road where there's no ground beneath.
01:38It's because of the heavy rain.
01:43Robert and his family were born early in the bus terminal.
01:46They will celebrate Christmas in Naga this year.
01:49We're trying to avoid crowding because we're going to catch up on Christmas.
01:54We're going to celebrate Christmas together.
01:58Are you excited for Christmas?
02:00Yes.
02:01Ms. Ide just arrived at the bus terminal from Kamarines Norte.
02:05She resumed her one-week vacation.
02:07They were the first ones to celebrate Christmas with her children because she still has work here in Metro Manila.
02:13The trip was very busy.
02:15There were a lot of passengers.
02:19My daughter was born, that's why I went home.
02:23In this bus terminal, passengers are expected to arrive tomorrow until the weekend.
02:28They added more trips to Bulacan and Nueva Ecija.
02:32The OFW Marifeca will arrive in the country on December 14 from Saudi Arabia.
02:37She will celebrate Christmas in Nueva Ecija with her entire family after three years.
02:43I'm very excited.
02:46Of course, I left my children because they're still young.
02:51Now, they're a bit older.
02:53There's a traffic jam so they can arrive early in the city.
02:58While we're touring the bus terminals in Cubao this morning,
03:06there are still not a lot of passengers, but they're expecting more.
03:10From tomorrow afternoon, it will continue from the weekend until Christmas Eve.
03:15That's the first news.
03:16From Quezon City, I'm James Sabustin for JEMAI Integrated News.
