00:00Live from the GMA Network Center,

00:0420 years of news, 24 Hours.

00:10Along with the rains in a large part of the country,

00:15our countrymen are continuously preparing for Noche Buena.

00:21There's no end to the GMA Integrated News coverage

00:24on the latest situation on the main roads outside of Metro Manila.

00:30We've also been able to monitor the various terminals, crossings, and roads

00:33where passengers are still rushing to catch their flight to Noche Buena.

00:37We'll also be visiting some families and streets,

00:40not only in Metro Manila, but also in the province.

00:46Good evening, Luzon, Visayas, and Mindanao.

00:50It's the first day of Christmas, and there are a lot of motorists traveling.

00:55That's why it's important to remind everyone to be extra careful,

00:59especially during this time of Christmas.

01:04In Enlex, more than 30 people were injured in the collision of a minibus

01:08that lost control in the middle of the journey.

01:11The driver of the seven passengers in South Cotabato was also lost.

01:18And from Enlex, Balintawak, Jonathan Handa is live.

01:22Jonathan.

01:25Mel, Emil, Vicky, of the 31 people injured,

01:29one of them is a critical, a grandmother who is in the ICU of JBL Hospital

01:35according to the San Fernando Police.

01:37The police talked to us, and we might be able to identify the critical grandmother

01:42because until now, they haven't been able to contact her children.

01:47This is Teresita Garcia Xiong.

01:49Aside from the elderly, there were also many children who were victims of the accident earlier.

01:54The youngest of them was 10-year-old Sanggol.

01:59Sanggol.

02:10The children were screaming and crying.

02:13In this accident, when Christmas was still in full swing,

02:17a minibus full of passengers crashed in the middle of Enlex, San Fernando, Pampanga

02:22around 9 a.m.

02:29What's happening?

02:36The head of this female passenger is bleeding,

02:39as well as the small children.

02:41Some of the elderly seem to have a bruise on their head, and it's hard to stand up.

02:48Sister, don't move.

02:52Don't move.

02:55In the hole in the back of the minibus, the injured passengers were able to get out.

02:59It was not seen in the video, but there were still two elderly inside the minibus

03:03who were unable to get out.

03:05One of them had a bruise on his head.

03:07According to the video, the first person to respond was Oliver Gervasio.

03:12The bruise on the elderly's head, I covered it with a t-shirt

03:18I covered it with a t-shirt.

03:20The elderly was not able to move.

03:23But he was able to stand up.

03:26According to Enlex, according to their initial investigation,

03:30the minibus and the AUV followed the innermost lane.

03:34The minibus lost control, turned around in front of the AUV,

03:37collided and hit the tree.

03:40It's like a self-accident.

03:42Allegedly, the driver, according to the initial investigation,

03:46heard a loud noise in the car.

03:49I'm not sure if it was on the engine, but it was loud.

03:52And then suddenly, he lost control.

03:55Going north, when he lost control, he turned around and faced south.

04:00So towards the head on with the INOVA, that's what happened.

04:04Enlex found the injured victims, all of whom were 31, according to the PNP.

04:10Twenty-eight people were in the minibus, two from an AUV.

04:15They were rushed to the JBL Hospital in San Fernando.

04:18We're going to the JBL Hospital.

04:22The bus will leave later.

04:25But according to the San Fernando Police,

04:27there are different versions of the driver of the minibus and the AUV.

04:30It's like they're going to file a complaint against each other.

04:33And they were both arrested by the police.

04:36The version of the INOVA, the jeepney was lost control.

04:43That's why he got hit.

04:45The car mix, the minibus,

04:48he said there was a strong impact on his back,

04:52that's why he lost control, sir.

04:54According to the San Fernando Police,

04:56the minibus was not overloaded,

04:58but it had more than 28 passengers.

05:01It also had maximum capacity.

05:03The accident caused two and a half kilometers of traffic

05:07that lasted for two hours before the traffic returned to normal.

05:12It wasn't until Christmas that the seven family members

05:15were allowed to return to Polomolok, South Cotabato

05:18after being tortured.

05:19Suddenly, the driver of their utility van suddenly disappeared

05:23and collided with a tree on the side of the road.

05:26The two were dead on the spot.

05:28While at the hospital, five others were taken care of.

05:30The two victims were minors.

05:33The driver was hit in the body.

05:36A van fell on the road in Bontoc, Baguio yesterday.

05:40The BFP officers took care of the injured driver

05:43who was recovering at the hospital.

05:45Authorities are still investigating the cause of the accident.

05:52Vicky, we have a traffic update on our location

05:54at Enlex, Balintawak.

05:56The traffic is still on its way,

05:58even to other parts of Enlex.

06:00Meanwhile, from 10 p.m. until 6 a.m. tomorrow,

06:04the toll holiday,

06:06or the non-payment of tolls

06:08at Enlex, Enlex Connector, Esitex, Calax, and Cavitex.

06:12This is the latest from Enlex, Balintawak.

06:14Back to you, Vicky.

06:16Thank you very much, Jonathan Andal.

06:19There are still many who are in a hurry to go home

06:22and are in a hurry to get a ticket

06:25to Paranaque Integrated Terminal Exchange, or PITX.

06:29Let's see how the situation is there

06:31when Oscar Oida will talk live.

06:34Oscar?

06:38Yes, Mel.

06:39There are a lot of delays on the trip.

06:41It seems that some of our colleagues

06:43have already accepted that they are on a trip.

06:45Good night.

06:51Noel and Christine's husband

06:53went to PITX early in the morning

06:55so that they can have a good time on their trip.

06:58But it's already 11 a.m.

07:00and their bus is still not here.

07:02We came from Antipolo.

07:04We arrived here early,

07:07around 7 a.m.

07:09Our trip is at 11.30 a.m.

07:13Basbate City.

07:15We waited there.

07:17When I went to the ticket booth,

07:21it was cancelled

07:23because our bus will arrive later.

07:25It's still early in the morning.

07:27In anticipation of the passing of Christmas Day

07:30in their province,

07:32they decided to buy a new ticket.

07:36There's a trip to Putchow,

07:38Putchow, Sursugon.

07:41We rode a bike,

07:43a jeep,

07:45and we went to Basbate City.

07:47We went to Aruroy, Basbate,

07:49in our area.

07:51But it seems that they are already on the bus.

07:53Good night.

07:55It's a good thing that

07:57Mrs. has adobo.

07:59It's sad

08:01because our trip was delayed.

08:05We don't have anything to do.

08:07We just stay at home.

08:09Just like a married couple,

08:11it seems that they are also on the bus to Noche Buena,

08:13to go home to Denmark.

08:15She said that she arrived early

08:17at the terminal,

08:19but based on the information she received

08:21from her acquaintances,

08:23she was the first one to travel.

08:25The traffic was really bad.

08:27There was a lot of traffic.

08:29She said that

08:31there was a lot of traffic here.

08:33They were still there until 23.

08:35They were able to hide

08:37until yesterday.

08:39They arrived there yesterday.

08:41Even so,

08:43the important thing is that

08:45they will arrive there

08:47on Christmas Day.

08:49To be honest,

08:51it was not difficult to get a ride

08:53today.

08:55The lines in the ticket booths

08:57are not easy to blockbuster.

08:59Aside from the additional trips,

09:01a lot of passengers

09:03canceled their tickets.

09:05The number of passengers

09:07also decreased.

09:09Yesterday afternoon,

09:11the number of passengers

09:13reached 104,000.

09:15A while ago,

09:17the number was only 86,000.

09:19But still,

09:21a lot of people are still coming

09:23because the security

09:25at the terminal is still tight.

09:31Tomorrow,

09:33the PITX will not expect

09:35that many passengers.

09:37It is possible that

09:39the number of passengers

09:41will decrease again

09:43after the new year.

09:45Thank you very much,

09:47Oscar Oiga.

09:49At the same time,

09:51the number of passengers

09:53decreased,

09:55there was a lot of emotion.

09:57If there are happy reunions

10:00and sad reunions

10:02where the family cannot be together

10:04during Christmas,

10:06the situation there is

10:08being discussed live

10:10by JP Soriano.

10:30In the greeters area

10:32of IA Terminal 1,

10:34I met Jason

10:36while he was waiting for

10:38his wife Anne,

10:40who is a nurse in Saudi Arabia,

10:42to board the airplane.

10:44Jason is with his three children

10:46and their pet dog, Oreo.

10:48Jason used to be an OFW in Sudan

10:50but after his contract,

10:52his wife found an opportunity

10:54to work

10:56and earn more

10:58in other countries.

11:00They are able to video chat

11:02almost every day with Anne

11:04but it is still difficult for her

11:06to get along with her children.

11:08It feels different

11:10when you are not together

11:12especially when the mother is not there.

11:14It is more difficult, not just for me,

11:16but for all of them.

11:18That is why sometimes,

11:20it is a rare opportunity

11:22especially when their mother

11:24will celebrate her 18th birthday.

11:26It is really worth it

11:28because it is not just Christmas

11:30that I can spend with my mom

11:32but also with my devils.

11:34Later on,

11:36they got to see Anne.

11:40Christmas in the Philippines is different

11:42compared to abroad.

11:44I am excited to celebrate Christmas

11:46and New Year's holidays with them.

11:48It is a different feeling

11:50because I am with my three children.

11:52Oh my God!

11:54Many Filipinos came to IA

11:56to join the OFWs

11:58like Irene,

12:00who was missed by her mother.

12:02Like many Filipinos

12:04who are working abroad,

12:06her grandparents

12:08raised Irene's children

12:10in the Philippines.

12:12Of course,

12:18her children grew up with me.

12:21I took care of them.

12:23I did not take care of them.

12:25That is why

12:27I am happy

12:29because they went home

12:31and had a vacation.

12:33But it won't last long.

12:35It is hard to have an OFW.

12:37It is not that easy.

12:39Especially,

12:41I am a single mom.

12:43But not only OFWs,

12:45there are also Filipino-Americans

12:47who came back to the Philippines

12:50just in time for Christmas.

12:52Their grandmother in the Philippines

12:54has a welcome home tarpaulin.

12:56And the Filipinos

12:58have already arrived.

13:06Ate was so happy

13:08to be back in the Philippines.

13:10She even danced.

13:16If there are Filipinos

13:18in the Philippines this Christmas Eve,

13:20there are also those who left.

13:22The first time OFW,

13:24Julian,

13:26was visited by his mother,

13:28siblings, and friends

13:30before his flight to Taiwan.

13:32For the first time,

13:34Julian could not be with his family

13:36and friends

13:38whom he spent his whole life with

13:40during Christmas.

13:42I will miss the moments here.

13:44I will not be able to follow

13:46their moments.

13:48It is sad, but I can do it

13:50as an OFW.

13:54It is hard.

13:56I really need it.

13:58I miss my son.

14:00It is the first time he left.

14:02I am not used to it.

14:04I told him that he will be 26 years old.

14:06He will take care of himself

14:08because his mother passed away.

14:10And, Vicky,

14:12every year,

14:14that is what we witness

14:16in the story of our OFWs

14:18who need to leave

14:20to help their families

14:22and return to the Philippines

14:24to experience the Filipino Christmas.

14:26That is the latest.

14:28Back to you, Vicky.

14:30Thank you very much, JP Soriano.

14:32The penitence of some passengers

14:34who are still waiting

14:36to board the Batangas Port is too early.

14:38The question is,

14:40will they make it to Christmas?

14:42Let's find out live

14:44in the story of Marisol Abduraman.

14:50Emil, the penitence of some passengers

14:52who are still waiting

14:54to board the Batangas Port

14:56is too early.

14:58They have already traveled

15:00back to their province,

15:02but it seems like the penitence

15:04of some passengers

15:06who are still waiting

15:08to board the Batangas Port

15:10is too early.

15:12This is the situation

15:14inside the passenger terminal

15:16of the Batangas Port,

15:18far from the situation yesterday

15:20where the passengers were still waiting.

15:22Sir Erwin, who was stranded yesterday,

15:24has just entered the terminal.

15:26Nothing like this happened

15:28last year, just this year.

15:30After 10 years,

15:32this is what I experienced

15:34yesterday.

15:38After 24 hours,

15:40he will finally be able to travel

15:42to Rojas, Mindoro.

15:46Other passengers were also happy

15:48to board earlier.

15:54Cheryl, on the other hand,

15:56is mixed with sadness and sorrow.

15:58Why are you sad?

16:00Because

16:02we have a death.

16:04You have a death?

16:06Yes.

16:08Why?

16:10Because

16:12we have a trip.

16:14But not only the passengers

16:16are happy.

16:18These siblings were also happy

16:20to arrive at the Batangas Port

16:22for their reunion in Lipa.

16:24We are only two siblings,

16:26but we were united there.

16:28At 2 p.m.,

16:30more than 10,000 passengers

16:32arrived here in the province.

16:34Last night, we closed at 20,000.

16:38But those who were in line

16:40with a car, Calvario arrived.

16:42Michael Hernandez,

16:44who was in line since 2 p.m. last Sunday,

16:46arrived here at 11 p.m.

16:48I'm tired.

16:50Jose Espera,

16:52who was in line for 16 hours,

16:54is already saving the biscuits.

16:56There's no food.

16:58Of course, if you leave your car,

17:00you'll be in trouble.

17:02They were supposed to go home this year,

17:04but this Calvario happened just now.

17:06Last Sunday afternoon,

17:08the situation is still the same.

17:10These are not parking lots,

17:12but a line of cars

17:14that will enter Batangas Port.

17:16The Batangas Port Director expected

17:18more passengers this Christmas,

17:20but they did not estimate

17:22that this many

17:24private cars will arrive.

17:26It's our first time in a long time.

17:28So what happened?

17:30There are a lot of them.

17:32I told them that our countrymen

17:34have a lot of money.

17:36Before, it was a bit high.

17:38Definitely, it was not enough

17:40because of the volume that arrived.

17:42The ship was not enough.

17:50Here at Passenger Terminal Emil,

17:52some of our countrymen

17:54are still waiting for their

17:56Noche Bena tonight.

17:58But Emil,

18:00there are still a lot of cars

18:02waiting to arrive

18:04at Roro

18:06to be able to travel tonight.

18:08In total,

18:10more than 11,600 passengers

18:12have already left Batangas Port.

18:14More than 1,300

18:16cars have already

18:18arrived at Roro.

18:20Thank you very much,

18:22Marisol Abduraman.

18:24Christmas is coming

18:26to their homes.

18:28Some in Luzon and Visayas

18:30due to non-stop rains,

18:32there are landslides

18:34while a town in the

18:36state of Calamity,

18:38Oriental, Mindoro,

18:40was hit by a landslide.

18:46A large rock fell

18:48on this road

18:50in Barangay Dumalan,

18:52in the town of Dalaget, Cebu last Sunday.

18:54As a result of the landslides,

18:56due to non-stop rains,

18:58the road was closed

19:00to motorists for several hours.

19:02Immediately, a clearing operation

19:04was carried out.

19:06Some houses in

19:08Eastern and Northern Samar

19:10were also flooded.

19:12This child was already

19:14wearing a life jacket.

19:16The flood also reached

19:18some places,

19:20so they had to swim.

19:22This is how heavy

19:24the flood was in Lopez, Quezon

19:26this Christmas Eve.

19:28Due to heavy rains,

19:30some houses were flooded.

19:34Some parts of the road

19:36were guttered.

19:38The National Highway

19:40of Oriental, Mindoro

19:42was also flooded.

19:44According to the MDRRMO,

19:46the river was flowing

19:48near the area

19:50because of the gutter.

19:52Also because of the

19:54rainy days in Baco,

19:56some residents

19:58were drowning in the flood.

20:00Calvary was still possible

20:02until the new year,

20:04so the State of Calamity

20:06declared the municipality.

20:08Almost all barangays were affected

20:10by the floods

20:12in Baco.

20:26The local government

20:28and DSWD immediately

20:30provided assistance.

20:34These rescuers

20:36from Red Cross

20:38risked their lives

20:40to rescue the residents

20:42who were trapped

20:44in the flood.

20:46They used flashlights

20:48to ask for help.

20:52The Philippine Coast Guard

20:54also rescued some barangays

20:56in Puerto Princesa City, Palawan

20:58because of the heavy rains.

21:00The Pomeruissio

26:46Aside from ham, lechon is also a staple of the Ilan people every Christmas Eve.

26:53It's now being sold in La Loma in Quezon City.

26:56But the health department has a reminder.

26:59From there, Raffi Quima is live.

27:03Raffi?

27:07Despite the rain and storms,

27:10people are still buying from La Loma.

27:13People are rushing to buy from those who are waiting for Christmas Eve.

27:17Lechon is not expensive,

27:19and there are a lot of people selling it.

27:21So there are a lot of choices.

27:26Like expected,

27:27lechon is a blockbuster here in La Loma.

27:30The line of golden crispy lechon

27:33doesn't take long to be sold.

27:35This lechon will be revealed on their display later.

27:38It's not that expensive.

27:40Although, lechon is a bit expensive,

27:42the price is still the same.

27:45We still have around 8,000 to 10,000 lechon.

27:49This family has been selling lechon for more than two decades.

27:54They prepare it every Christmas Eve.

27:56Before, they could only buy 6,500 lechon.

27:59And now, the price has doubled.

28:01For 25 lechon, we need lechon.

28:05So even if lechon is expensive,

28:07you will continue this tradition?

28:09Yes.

28:13To be honest,

28:14lechon is already cheap

28:15because most of the pork comes from backyard hog raisers.

28:18But because it's well-prepared,

28:21it's really expensive once it's cooked.

28:24From the cutting that is done in this part of the establishment

28:28until the lechon is cooked,

28:30it takes up to 6 to 8 hours,

28:33depending on the size.

28:34These are already cooked.

28:36It's been cooking for two hours

28:38and it's almost done.

28:39They put secret ingredients in it.

28:42That's what they put in here

28:43to make the lechon more delicious.

28:46But DOH reminds us

28:47to be careful when eating fat people like lechon.

28:51Even if there are a lot of preparations,

28:53our diet should still be balanced.

28:55So our plan is

28:56we should have half fruits and vegetables,

28:58only one-fourth carbohydrates

29:00or rice and pancit,

29:02and one-fourth lechon, ham, etc.

29:05Chito, who buys lechon in La Loma,

29:07admitted that he knows people

29:09who avoid lechon.

29:11My stomach hurts.

29:13That's why you should be careful

29:15when eating skin.

29:22Many of the stores here

29:23will close at 10 p.m.

29:24But there are also 24-hour stores open tomorrow.

29:27And tomorrow, early in the morning,

29:28they will return to selling lechon

29:30because many people are still hoping to buy

29:32until the end of the new year.

29:35For the latest news from La Loma,

29:37Mel?

29:38Raffy, please help me with this.

29:40There's a piece of skin that's still twitching.

29:43Thank you so much, Raffy Tima!

29:48It's not just cars

29:50that are following the Christmas rush in S-Lex.

29:53There's also a group of goats.

29:55It's also going to rain,

29:56so let's check out the traffic

29:58during John Corcina's talk.

30:01John!

30:05Vicky, it's going to rain later

30:07on different parts of the South Luzon Expressway

30:09today.

30:10But despite that,

30:11the traffic is still light

30:13this Christmas Eve.

30:20The road is wet on most parts of S-Lex

30:22from Magallanes to Calamba

30:24because of the heavy rain.

30:26That's why the towing and emergency units

30:28of S-Lex and HPG are on standby

30:30to assist the motorists

30:32in case they need it.

30:34The roads are very wide.

30:36We have to be careful

30:38not to get caught

30:40especially during this time.

30:42There are areas where it rains

30:44and the roads are slippery.

30:46It's 11 o'clock this morning

30:47when S-Lex Traffic Monitoring Center

30:49was able to transfer the goats

30:51that entered the expressway

30:52that they immediately took action on.

30:54Less than three minutes ago,

30:55a motorcycle unit of S-Lex arrived

30:57that quickly chased the goats

30:59out of the expressway

31:01to avoid danger

31:02to passengers.

31:04The SMC also announced

31:06to our motorists

31:07the free toll or free use

31:09of the Skyway system

31:11that is X, South Zone Expressway,

31:13Star Tollway, and T-PLEX

31:15from 10 p.m. December 24

31:17until 6 a.m. tomorrow,

31:19December 25.

31:29Vicky, there are people

31:30in the S-Lex Traffic Monitoring Center

31:32who were in an accident

31:34in the area of Santa Rosa

31:36and Calamba yesterday.

31:38So, as a reminder,

31:40be careful for our motorists.

31:42That's all from S-Lex.

31:44Back to you, Vicky.

31:45Thank you very much, John Consulta.

31:49Let's take a look

31:50at the situation in Divisoria

31:52where there are people

31:53who are running to buy

31:55a motorcycle.

31:56It's broadcast live.

31:57This is Bob Gonzales.

31:58Bob.

32:01Emil, until now,

32:03it's still raining here

32:04in Divisoria, Manila,

32:05but the crowds

32:06did not stop

32:07for the last-minute

32:08Christmas shopping.

32:14Because of the rain,

32:15some stores were forced

32:16to close down.

32:17But when the rain stopped,

32:18the stores were open again.

32:20Mami Mili did not stop the rain.

32:22There are still people

32:23who came here

32:24to Divisoria, Manila

32:25for Christmas shopping

32:26this Christmas Eve.

32:29We got money

32:30from the bonuses.

32:32The price is good.

32:33It's just low

32:34compared to the normal days.

32:39It was just too busy

32:40in the past,

32:41so now it's free.

32:43Beng-Beng

32:44has been shopping

32:45for 24 days.

32:47Unlike before,

32:48there are a lot of people.

32:50It's really crowded.

32:51That's why

32:52whenever we shop,

32:54there are not many people.

32:57It's cheaper here

32:58compared to the market.

33:00We almost have to pay

33:01the same price.

33:03For those who are in a hurry

33:04to buy gifts,

33:06you can buy

33:07dresses and ornaments

33:08for kids.

33:09If you want an all-out Christmas,

33:11there's a Santa costume

33:12for kids.

33:13You can also sell

33:14assorted toys.

33:15There are also

33:16gift packages

33:17like tumblers,

33:18towels,

33:19and sleeping bags.

33:20Stores like Rita's

33:21are in a hurry

33:22to sell

33:23so they can go home

33:24before Christmas.

33:25Last year,

33:26there were more people

33:27than there are now.

33:29Because now,

33:30it's still a bit crowded.

33:33It's crowded.

33:34When is Christmas?

33:35Sometimes,

33:36we also close.

33:38Yes.

33:39As long as you can make money.

33:42According to the police,

33:43no petty crimes

33:44have been reported

33:45like the theft

33:46until yesterday.

33:47But they repeatedly

33:48remind people

33:49to be careful

33:50and to be careful

33:51with personal belongings.

33:52Yesterday,

33:53there were reports

33:54of two missing children

33:55but no updates

33:56have been made yet.

33:57Police are also

33:58on the lookout

33:59to keep an eye on them.

34:00Be careful

34:01with your personal belongings

34:03like cellphones,

34:04wallets,

34:05and gadgets.

34:06Be alert.

34:07But remember,

34:08here in Divisoria,

34:09tomorrow,

34:10on Christmas Day,

34:11you can still buy

34:12when it's already Christmas

34:13for Ninong and Ninang Emil.

34:15Thank you very much,

34:16Mav Gonzalez.

34:19Find out

34:20if the rains

34:21have an effect

34:22on the traffic

34:23in Metro Manila

34:24like in EDSA.

34:25This is brought to you

34:26by Tina,

34:27Panganibal Ferro.

34:28Tina?

34:33Mel,

34:34we're used to

34:35the slow traffic

34:36in EDSA

34:37every day.

34:38But this Christmas Eve,

34:39it's faster

34:40for vehicles

34:41to pass

34:42even in the rain.

34:48Vehicles were traveling

34:49continuously

34:50this morning

34:51on the southbound lane

34:52of EDSA

34:53in EDSA Kamuning Flyover,

34:55Campo Krami,

34:56Ortigas,

34:57and Guadalupe.

34:59But the traffic

35:00on the southbound lane

35:01of Santolan

35:02was slow

35:03this morning

35:04because there were

35:05vehicles queuing

35:06to go up

35:07the flyover.

35:09When they went down,

35:10the vehicles

35:11were traveling

35:12continuously.

35:13On the northbound lane,

35:14there was no problem

35:15for the vehicles

35:16from Santolan Flyover

35:18to Cubao Underpass.

35:20But the traffic

35:21was slowing

35:22near Mega Q Mart

35:23because of the vehicles

35:24transporting passengers

35:26to the bus terminals.

35:28The northbound EDSA

35:29Kamuning Flyover

35:31and EDSA Quezon Avenue

35:32Flyover

35:33were slow.

35:34Vehicles were also

35:35traveling

35:36from the EDSA North Avenue

35:37intersection

35:38to Munoz.

35:40Some of the vehicles

35:41were traveling slowly

35:42from the U-turn slots

35:43because the U-turn slots

35:44were merging

35:45and the direct ones

35:46were traveling.

35:48This afternoon,

35:49it was raining

35:51but the traffic

35:52was traveling continuously.

35:53The vehicles were traveling

35:54fast from the southbound

35:55EDSA Kamuning Flyover

35:56but they were traveling

35:57slowly

35:58to Cubao Underpass.

36:00The traffic was traveling

36:01slowly

36:02to Boni Avenue

36:03and the southbound

36:04and the southbound

36:05Santolan Flyover

36:07and the southbound

36:08Shaw Underpass.

36:10Vehicles were also

36:11moving

36:12from the southbound lane

36:13to the Ortigas Flyover.

36:21Some accidents

36:22were recorded by the MMDA

36:23not only in EDSA

36:24but also in other roads.

36:27But even though

36:28some were injured,

36:30the MMDA assured

36:31that they were helped.

36:33And tonight,

36:34malls will close early.

36:37Closing time is 7 or 8 p.m.

36:39this Christmas Eve.

36:41To our Kapuso,

36:42Merry Christmas!

36:43And to you too, Mel.

36:45And to you too, Tina.

36:47Thank you so much.

36:48Tina Panganibon Perez.

36:51If in other parts of the country,

36:53Christmas Eve is rainy,

36:55it's like luck in time.

36:57Tourists go to Boracay

36:59and Kim Salinas

37:02is live there.

37:04Kim!

37:09Vicky,

37:10there's no cold Christmas

37:11here in Boracay.

37:12Especially earlier

37:13when there were

37:14a few people

37:15sunbathing.

37:19There were a lot of tourists

37:21at the Jetty Port

37:22in Malayaklan

37:24They traveled to Boracay

37:26to celebrate

37:27Christmas

37:28at White Sand Beaches

37:29with their families.

37:31In Boracay,

37:32everything is already there.

37:33You just need to go out,

37:34the beach is already there,

37:35the food is already there.

37:37You don't need to be tired.

37:40because it's complete.

37:42The family,

37:43and there are a lot of activities

37:45that you can choose from.

37:48Some enjoyed

37:49sunbathing on the beachfront.

37:51In Germany,

37:52the weather is snow.

37:54That's why we like to go here

37:55and enjoy the sun.

37:57Almost 8,000

37:58tourists arrived

38:01according to the Malay Tourism Office.

38:03Security is tight

39:11Extra!

39:12Simuy Pasko in Tagaytay

39:14with Hamug

39:15as well as

39:16Jacket Weather.

39:17How was the trip

39:18of those who came there?

39:20Darlene Mical

39:21was there live.

39:23Darlene.

39:27Vicky,

39:28I can feel

39:29the cold breeze

39:30in Tagaytay City.

39:31That's why

39:32a lot of tourists

39:33came here

39:34to spend time

39:35with their families.

39:36However,

39:37the weather

39:38was bad

39:39all afternoon.

39:41Let's take a picture.

39:44Since they were young,

39:45Darlene and her family

39:46traveled for 5 hours

39:47to come here

39:48in Tagaytay.

39:49Here,

39:50they will celebrate

39:51Christmas later

39:52because of their

39:53celebration.

39:54First,

39:55the weather

39:56and our celebration

39:57of Christmas

39:58is different.

39:59Mostly,

40:00it's just at home.

40:01Then,

40:02the church.

40:03Then,

40:04now,

40:05we decided

40:06our neighbors

40:07and family

40:08are here.

40:09So,

40:10we can enjoy.

40:11Since morning,

40:12no one came

40:13to visit

40:14and bond

40:15with their families

40:16this Christmas Eve.

40:19Many of them

40:20are here

40:21in Picnic Grove

40:22where

40:23they can rent

40:24tables and chairs

40:25for P150

40:26to P600.

40:29Merry Christmas

40:30to everyone!

40:32The Panyoza family

40:33from Siaong, Quezon

40:34brought food

40:35to eat here.

40:37It's delicious

40:38when the food

40:39is hot.

40:40We can eat

40:41a lot of food.

40:42Now,

40:43we are happy

40:44because

40:45we are a complete family.

40:46The other saving mode

40:47is that

40:48their children

40:49will eat

40:50in their cars.

40:51Just like

40:52Jean from Lipabatangas

40:53that we met

40:54in Salosalong

40:55on Christmas Eve.

40:56A little bit

40:57because it's expensive

40:58and we have a lot.

40:59So,

41:00just a little bit.

41:01Instead of

41:02buying,

41:03just

41:04souvenirs

41:05for the children.

41:07The saving mode

41:08is that

41:09they can spend

41:10on different activities

41:11like horseback riding

41:12for P350

41:13per hour.

41:14That's what

41:15the Castillo family

41:16from Marilao,

45:24It's like you're in the clouds.

45:27Because it's so happy to see the new views.

45:33That's what I call city lights.

45:38Especially when I'm with them, my family.

45:42This family has been planning to go to Luneta for a year to have a reunion.

45:47So even though it rained a little, they were still happy to picnic under the tree.

45:52It's beautiful here.

45:54It's also our first time here.

45:57The surroundings are beautiful.

46:00That's why it's so happy to come here.

46:11Because it's less stressful.

46:15Vicky, it's the Holy Day of Obligation on Christmas Day.

46:18That's why it's obligatory to worship tomorrow.

46:20But the Catholic Church still doesn't believe that we should worship on Christmas Eve

46:24to follow the whole story of Christmas and to listen to the different liturgies.

46:29Now, Manila Cathedral 2500 is full.
