00:00It's still a problem for passengers going and returning from Bicol, the delay of some bus trips.

00:07Meanwhile, the number of passengers in PITX has decreased,

00:11along with the return of work and classing today.

00:15Isaiah Mirafuentes on Seto ng Balita, live.

00:21You're right Angelic, the holiday season is over,

00:24but the bus trips are still delayed,

00:27particularly those going to Bicol.

00:31Jinky is 7 months pregnant,

00:33she's still with her 2-year-old son.

00:36They're going to the province of Masbate,

00:38because that's where she wants to be with her family.

00:41The problem is, the bus she's going to ride is delayed.

00:46The bus has been delayed for more than 5 hours.

00:49It's hot because there's a child.

00:51When will we be able to leave later?

00:54Aside from having a lot of luggage,

00:56they're also enduring the heat in the terminal.

00:58The terminal is next to EDSA,

01:00that's why the passengers are enduring the heat.

01:03There are still many bus trips from and to Bicol,

01:07here in a terminal in EDSA Cubawa.

01:09The previous 10-12 hour trip,

01:11is now reaching 17-20 hours.

01:14There's a lot of traffic now,

01:17because of the one-way traffic on the road.

01:19There's a lot of traffic on the road that we're passing through.

01:22That's why the passengers are rushing,

01:24especially those waiting in the terminal.

01:27While the passengers are riding the bus,

01:29their bodies are aching because of the long trip.

01:32What's more, the terminal is fully booked until January 10.

01:37That means, it's just a matter of time

01:39before the people in the ticketing booth can get a ticket.

01:42Most of the people returning from Bicol,

01:44are there celebrating Christmas and New Year.

01:47While in PITX,

01:49today, only a small number of passengers are entering PITX.

01:54Many passengers are getting off the bus from the provinces.

01:58From December 20 until yesterday,

02:01the number of passengers in PITX reached 3,027,966.

02:09I'm here at a bus terminal in EDSA Cubawa.

02:12As you can see behind me,

02:14there are still a lot of passengers here.

02:16Most of them have been waiting for the bus for 7 hours

02:21because of the long delay in Bicol Region.

02:24But the people here are already celebrating

02:27because of the hot weather.

02:29That's all for the update here in Cubawa.

02:31Angelique, let's go back to you.

02:32Yes, Isaiah.

02:33Is there no plan for the management of the bus terminals

02:38to increase the number of passengers?

02:40For instance, instead of waiting for 5 hours

02:45because of the long delay,

02:47it's better to wait for 2 hours

02:49if the number of passengers will increase

02:52in between the previous schedule.

03:01Angelique, I've talked to the management of the bus terminal.

03:06They said that during the holiday season,

03:10December 20,

03:11they are increasing the number of buses for Bicol Region.

03:17But they are saying that it's not possible

03:20because of the high number of passengers

03:22and the heavy traffic in Southern Luzon,

03:27particularly in Bicol Region,

03:29even in Quezon Province.

03:31Angelique.

03:32Alright, thank you very much, Isaiah Mirafuentes.
