01:00Bon!
01:04The Christmas rush in Metro Manila is already felt.
01:08Because tonight, the traffic was reduced in some parts of EDSA
01:12in front of the big malls in Quezon City and Mandaluyong City.
01:20Past 6 p.m., the traffic in EDSA Northbound Lane was slowed down in front of two malls.
01:25This part of EDSA becomes a bottleneck because of the vehicles coming out of the mall.
01:31Mall-goer, Myla, had a hard time riding.
01:34It's hard because I've been booking for an hour and there's still none.
01:37Now, it has arrived.
01:39At 7 p.m., the traffic in EDSA Cubao Southbound Lane was more crowded.
01:43There were also some provincial buses coming out of their station.
01:47In EDSA Ortigas, the traffic in front of a mall, especially in EDSA Northbound, was also slowed down.
01:52But after this, the traffic was allowed, but again, it was slowed down when EDSA Santolan arrived.
01:57In Kuha ng Drone, you can see the look of EDSA Northbound, which is red because of the heavy traffic.
02:03According to the MMDA, the volume of vehicles from work and malls is at the same time.
02:09Even the motorcycle taxis that are in the middle of the traffic, it is also difficult for passengers to pick up.
02:15It is difficult because of the traffic.
02:18And it is small.
02:20When it comes to the pick-up point, the passengers will also cancel because we arrived late because of the traffic.
02:30According to the MMDA, the traffic in EDSA Northbound is still slow.
02:34Because of the heavy volume of vehicles in EDSA, it is at the same time with the vehicles coming out of the mall.
02:42Here in EDSA, in Quezon City.
02:46Thank you very much, Vaughn Aquino.
02:49The air-conditioned buses that traveled to Bicol are now fully booked.
02:53Some people queued to get a ticket today.
02:56It took 8 hours.
02:58Let's talk about the situation in PITX in the live report of Jamie Santos.
03:03Jamie.
03:05Tom, this last Friday before Christmas, the PITX passengers are already full.
03:12They will go home to their provinces this Christmas.
03:18Queued up to buy tickets to different provinces in Bicol.
03:23Some of them will only buy tickets to go home today.
03:27There are also early birds who booked online.
03:29There are also early birds who booked online.
03:32Like Aldric who bought a ticket to go home to Daraga Albay on November 20.
03:37My system, one month before, I already planned everything so that I won't be hassled to book.
03:48He already has food so he is ready to face the heavy traffic.
03:53From Agusan to Bicol, this family will celebrate Christmas.
03:56It's just 10 am and they are already here in PITX.
04:01It's been more than 8 hours.
04:04We can still ride but it's still 8 pm.
04:08According to the PITX, some air-conditioned buses that traveled to Bicol are now fully booked.
04:14But there are still non-air-conditioned buses that can be ridden.
04:18They also checked the buses.
04:20There was a problem on the way back to the terminal due to the traffic in Bicol.
04:24It's a big help for the passengers who already have LRT station in PITX.
04:29It's very convenient.
04:31It's fast. There's no traffic.
04:33It's just one-way and the bus will go to us.
04:36The security is tight in the whole terminal and there are police guards.
04:41But a female passenger fell asleep in the police station because she lost her wallet.
04:46That's why the authorities remind us to be alert and not to be complacent.
04:54Atom, until tomorrow, the PITX expects that there will be more passengers in the terminal.
05:01It expects that there will be 200,000 passengers today.
05:05As of 10 pm, there are already 196,893 passengers in the food traffic.
05:12And live from Paranaque, I'm Jamie Santos reporting for Jimmy Integrated News.
05:18Thank you very much, Jamie Santos.
05:21The Christmas rush in the North Luzon Expressway has passed due to the early travel to the province.
05:27In Naia and Manila North Port, the peak of passengers is expected on Sunday.
05:33Joseph Moro has a report.
05:38The number of passengers in Naia has increased.
05:40Among them is Mang Boy who is going abroad for vacation this Christmas.
05:43Vacation in Macau.
05:45Go there first. It's delicious.
05:47But some returned to their hometowns and were forced to spend Christmas here in the Philippines.
05:52Like Jonathan who is an OFW in Taiwan.
05:54He was repressed by his son for a month when he was last seen with him.
05:57How do you feel?
05:59Happy.
06:01According to MIA, they expect the peak or the most number of passengers in the airport on December 22, this Christmas holiday.
06:07If you have a trip this Christmas holiday, MIA recommends 2 hours before your domestic flight.
06:13If you have a domestic flight, add one more and make it 3 hours.
06:16But for international flights, it's only 3 hours before your flight.
06:21Now, it's 4 hours.
06:23MIA also recommends a proper baggage system and air conditioning system in Naia.
06:28In Manila North Port, there are also a lot of passengers.
06:31The peak of passengers is expected on Sunday.
06:34A shipping company here is fully booked for flights until December 24.
06:38There are no flights on December 25, so their return operation is on December 26.
06:43Shipping companies in Pier 1 in Cebu City are also fully booked.
06:47According to the Philippine Coast Authority, the number of passengers in the country will reach 4.5 million until January 5.
06:56In North Luzon Expressway, the traffic is heavy.
07:00According to NLEX, passengers will travel in non-peak hours.
07:03The traffic situation in the Expressway and their social media platforms can also be known.
07:08Also be alert to the traffic jams and overpasses,
07:12like what the former Kapuso reporter, Cedric Castillo, said in the NLEX Tabang Square Road.
07:18NLEX is in cahoots with PNP and LGU.
07:23For flights to Camarines Sur, there is a long wait.
07:27For several days, there is a problem with the low-kilometer traffic on the Andaya Highway due to the roads being built.
07:32The DPWH said that the traffic will be lightened at around o'clock.
07:37In Tagupan City, Pangasinan, passengers already feel the difficulty of traveling in bus terminals.
07:43Passengers are expected to be more anxious tonight, especially those who will travel to Bales, Baguio, and Isabela.
07:49Joseph Morong reporting for GMA Integrated News.
07:53Now is the time for meetings and parties,
07:57where the law is being criticized for punishing those who are drunk, even if they are tipsy.
08:04Tina Panganiban-Perez has a report.
08:09According to the World Health Organization,
08:12road traffic crash is the primary cause of death of 15 to 29-year-olds.
08:19Of the more than 18,000 road crashes in the country from 2015 to 2019,
08:26more than 5,000 are connected to alcohol.
08:29Three out of ten road-related accidents that result in death are due to drunkenness and intoxication.
08:40There is an Anti-Drunk and Drug Driving Act
08:43that punishes those who are drunk or drugged.
08:48The ACT-Bayan Party-List adopted a bill to restrict the law,
08:53and even if they are tipsy, they are asked not to drive.
08:58The government is also encouraging the purchase of more breathalyzers.
09:04Designated drivers or alternative transportation for those who are drunk are also being criticized.
09:12Impaired driving is also being criticized for more severe penalties.
09:17From three months in prison and a fine of P20,000 to P80,000 for less serious physical injuries,
09:25this is being criticized for a year in prison and a fine of P50,000 to P100,000.
09:31A fine of P10,000 can also reach a longer imprisonment
09:36and a fine of up to P1,000,000 depending on the severity of the case.
09:40It is also possible to remove the license of the driver for life.
09:44Dennis is not a real name.
09:47He admitted several times that he was drunk when he was driving.
09:51But instead of stopping when he was drunk, he stopped when he was driving.
09:56Dennis is a favorite in Panukala.
09:58I'm okay there.
10:00In order to remove drivers like me, I will stop there.
10:06You will stop there and it will be heavier.
10:08Yes. Because now, even if I'm drunk, I can commute.
10:13The Panukalang Amiendahanang R810586, which is being discussed in the Senate Committee,
10:20is also pushing for more severe penalties against those who violate the law here.
10:25Tina Panganiban Perez is reporting for GMA Integrated News.
10:30Five days before Christmas, there are people who are chasing the beauty of the Christmas display.
10:37Like the unique Christmas tree in Palulayte made of bamboo.
10:41Let's take a look at Mark Salazar's report.
10:46There are no Christmas lights, no Christmas decor,
10:49but the bamboo Christmas tree in Palulayte looks beautiful.
10:55It was helped by the local government and the team of an architect.
11:00For its beauty, it was praised by the locals as the best Christmas tree in the Philippines.
11:07The Christmas light of the Tawi-Tawi Police Provincial Office is made of gallons of mineral water.
11:13There are a lot of beauties here.
11:15Especially since the police helped to recycle, it became an attraction in the area.
11:21The Dancing Fountain in front of the Archdiocesan Shrine and Parish of the St. Joseph the Patriarch in San Jose, Batangas is the highlight.
11:31The induction of water at the same time in the Christmas songs.
11:36You can watch the fountain show every night until December 24.
11:43The Christmas Concert of the University of Santo Tomas is full of music and dance.
11:51This is one of the highlights of their month-long Christmas celebration.
11:57In the safe aurora of the Calabasas, Santa Claus is riding.
12:02His unique Christmas gift delivery is really good vibes.
12:06Mark Salazar reporting for GMA Integrated News.
12:13Two trains in Texas were killed in an accident in America.
12:18According to the authorities, it was not clear what happened but the train collided with a tractor trailer that was at the crossing.
12:26The train was loaded with hazardous materials but nothing was damaged.
12:31Two trains were killed while three were injured.
12:35A house was also burnt.
12:37The investigation continues.
12:42Caroling is one of the things that gives life to the Filipino Christmas.
12:47But this tradition has a lot of benefits other than what Aguinaldo receives.
12:52Vona Kino has a report.
12:53Christmas song playing.
13:11The last part of the Filipino Christmas, young or old, is a game in singing Christmas songs.
13:19The Tamporeros of Ilocos Norte National High School are full force in caroling.
13:26They are able to save more than 10,000 pesos.
13:30They use it to buy new instruments.
13:34The senior citizens are members of the Catholic Women's League of Makati.
13:39Caroling is leveled up using anklets, bells, and keyboards.
13:43It uplifts the feelings of the seniors.
13:48At the same time, we sing for the Lord.
13:52We are all happy.
13:54But aside from money or Aguinaldo, Caroling also has other benefits.
13:58According to a musical director, singing helps the lungs.
14:03You expand your breathing.
14:06So a professional singer has longer phrasing.
14:10It is also a good exercise for the lungs.
14:13A psychiatrist also said that caroling or group singing has benefits for our mental health.
14:20It boosts oxytocin or bonding hormone.
14:24Because when we are in a group, we feel that we belong in a community.
14:31Especially when there is a bonding moment with friends or colleagues at work.
14:37It also lowers the stress level.
14:39Because we laugh and talk in between caroling sessions.
14:44It also lowers our anxieties.
14:47It helps us to be creative.
14:55Von Aquino reporting for GMA Integrated News.
14:59A student or several students tried to be the best in attendance in their class.
15:06Because their teacher has a heavy raffle as a reward.
15:11What is that? Let's see in the report of Ian Cruz.
15:15Don't underestimate the best in attendance.
15:19Because if you didn't skip this class, you will also be included in the raffle draw.
15:24Because if you didn't skip this class, you will also be included in the raffle draw.
15:29From 40 students of Teacher Shas of Recto Memorial National High School,
15:35only 6 are absent and no late.
15:42That's why they have a chance to be the winner of the lottery.
15:49I have experienced that there are students who are being mocked.
15:53It is really hard to control the late and absences.
15:57If I will be given a reward, maybe their late and absences will be minimized.
16:02To make it more exciting, the lucky winner is via elimination using the digital roulette.
16:12And the lucky winner is Harry.
16:15Harry has a reputation for being the best in attendance.
16:22Since elementary school, I have never been absent.
16:27Once I am absent, I feel that I will miss a lot of activities and performances.
16:36That is what I am afraid of.
16:38He deserves it.
16:40This is what we call positive reinforcement.
16:43If I am given something, I know that a person really needs it.
16:48Especially for students.
16:50Ian Cruz is reporting for GMA Integrated News.
