00:00Many passengers are still waiting for their bus terminal in Cubao to go to Bicol Region this holiday season live.
00:09From Quezon City, we have the first news, James Agustin. James.
00:16Susan, it's hard for passengers to go to Bicol Region.
00:20Aside from the fact that many trips are fully booked,
00:23buses are still being delayed here at the bus terminal because of the road that is being repaired at Camarines Surang.
00:30Other passengers have been here at the bus terminal since yesterday.
00:35At this bus terminal in Cubao, Quezon City, some passengers passed by early
00:40and were allowed to return to Bicol Region because the buses were delayed for several hours.
00:44Like Arwin, who arrived here at 8 in the morning yesterday.
00:47He will now return to Camarines Norte after 3 years.
00:51It's hard to wait, sir.
00:53We have to travel again to Capalonga.
00:57I'm so excited, sir. I don't want to go home because we have to wait for the 13-month pay.
01:02It didn't go through. We have our salary.
01:06We just went on vacation because it's been a long time since I went home.
01:11Junjun's situation is the same, he has to travel again.
01:14He took a day off from work so that he can ride early.
01:17But he didn't expect to arrive at the bus terminal.
01:20What's important to us is that we can all go home.
01:23Even if it's raining there, it's already foggy.
01:29There's still no bus passing by.
01:31Argelie is from Pangrizal.
01:33She will be on vacation in Camarines Norte for 10 days.
01:36Of course, I want to ride early and avoid traffic jams.
01:40I want to avoid the traffic that will take a long time.
01:46Of course, I'm excited because I will see my children.
01:49My grandchildren.
01:50The bus terminal manager explained to the passengers that the trip will be delayed for a few hours
01:56because the Andaya Highway is still part of the Camarines-Su.
02:00We are still experiencing heavy traffic there because the road is still one-way.
02:05The damaged road is not yet repaired.
02:08For now, we are having a rerouting.
02:10We are passing through Camarines Norte to Maharlika Highway
02:14so that our buses can travel faster.
02:18The air-conditioned buses for Camarines Norte will be fully booked until December 31.
02:23Until December 29, the buses for Camarines Sur and Legazpi City will be fully booked.
02:28But the chance passengers can still ride.
02:31We still have ordinary extra buses.
02:34First-come, first-served.
02:38We already have a lot of ordinary buses.
02:41For this bus terminal, it will be fully booked until December 31.
02:45The air-conditioned buses for Baguio and Zambales.
02:48But they were delayed for extra trips
02:51because of the expected drop in passengers this holiday season.
02:55Josephine is from Pangolonga with her three children.
02:58They will spend Christmas here in Quezon City.
03:01We are very excited because we don't want to see them again after six years.
03:06We are experiencing heavy traffic.
03:10It's already 23 now.
03:12If we go home late tomorrow, there will be a lot of traffic.
03:20Meanwhile, Susan, this is the situation in one of the bus terminals here in Cubao.
03:24Passengers are still arriving.
03:26Some of the passengers are still here yesterday.
03:30The bus terminal is being booked for passengers, especially the chance passengers.
03:34However, they are asking for an explanation especially to the passengers
03:38because the travel from Bicol Region is being delayed.
03:42Only ordinary non-air-conditioned buses can ride now.
03:47That's the first news from Quezon City.
03:49I am James Agustin for JMA Integrated News.
