00:00For those who are going to do a last-minute shopping for Christmas presents and for Christmas Eve,
00:06get ready for the rush of people and for the difficult booking of vehicles.
00:12Here's EJ Gomez with the breaking news.
00:17Filipinos are discarding their last-minute shopping last night before Christmas Eve this day.
00:23Operating hours of malls are extended during the holiday season.
00:27In a mall in Quezon City,
00:29a few people were discarded their last-minute shopping for the preparations they will do for Noche Buena later.
00:34Just like Christina's family who traveled from Tondo, Manila.
00:38There were a lot of people inside the mall.
00:41We bought Christmas presents for my two children.
00:44Shoes, clothes, and our husband's clothes.
00:49Kimbert, on the other hand, was discarded his last-minute shopping for groceries last night.
00:53Usually, we have menu for kare-kare, salad.
00:56That's what we usually prepare.
00:58There were a lot of people.
01:00The line was very long.
01:02And when he was about to go home,
01:03it was hard to book a vehicle.
01:06Harley and his friends only met at the mall to go to their Christmas get-together.
01:13But the joy of seeing each other again was mixed with stress because they don't have a vehicle.
01:19It's hard because there are a lot of people.
01:20If I can get a jeep, I'll just get one because there's no other choice.
01:26If I wait for the bus, I'll be late for my destination.
01:32The riders themselves were also affected by the heavy traffic.
01:35The rush hour was really heavy traffic.
01:38So what the riders and I were doing,
01:41we were just trying to get to our destination safely.
01:45We were being careful so that our passengers could get there safely.
01:50Although there are a lot of people booking motorcycles now,
01:54their income is almost zero
01:57because of the long rush hour on the road and the high consumption of gasoline.
02:02EJ Gomez, reporting for GMA Integrated News.
