00:00 As Christmas approaches, passengers are also increasing in their lines.

00:05 Others are ready to wait for 24 hours to be able to return home.

00:11 We have on the spot, Oscar Oida.

00:14 Oscar?

00:15 Oh my, Connie, it's been more than 24 hours.

00:21 Because even though tomorrow is the next day of the trip here to Northport,

00:27 particularly Cebu and Cagayan de Oro,

00:29 there are more than 100 passengers waiting for the concourse.

00:36 Most of them are just passing their time eating and resting.

00:44 According to Philippine Ports Authority General Manager, Atty. J. Santiago,

00:49 if the last few days were affected by the typhoon,

00:54 the operation of their ships would have been canceled.

00:57 In these moments, there are no stranded ships that are affected by the typhoon.

01:02 What is affected are the passengers who will be landing before the Christmas Eve.

01:11 Even though there are no canceled trips, they are not ignoring the possibility of this happening.

01:20 Connie said that even though there is no typhoon,

01:26 the so-called gale warning is common especially in areas of Matnog, Sur Sugon.

01:32 If this happens, they can't do anything but cancel their trips.

01:36 This will make the situation more difficult,

01:39 especially since the PPA admitted that there are still problems due to the lack of ships.

01:45 In Batangas Port last night, there were many passengers waiting for their turn.

01:50 That's why they decided to let the passengers inside the port to pass the time.

01:57 Because of the number of people who want to travel,

01:59 the PPA is now monitoring the possible overloading of the ships.

02:07 Even though the last few barangays and SK Elections were held,

02:10 many barangays were stopped from doing so due to the help of the Philippine Coast Guard and Maritime Industry Authority.

02:17 This is the most challenging challenge for the islands,

02:20 that's why they are double-time monitoring the situation.

02:23 Meanwhile, Connie, as we mentioned earlier,

02:26 we are now in the Concourse area of North Port

02:30 where we have received information that there are more than 100 passengers.

02:36 There are many who are still not ready to travel, but some have already moved their schedule.

02:42 Some are already here on December 20 because that's when they should have their schedule.

02:47 But some have already moved their schedule until tomorrow,

02:50 while others are still waiting to pass.

02:52 So they are using the time to rest.

02:56 Some are still talking via video call.

03:00 There are still charging stations here,

03:04 but they are still waiting because if the waiting continues,

03:07 you can expect to see the charge running out.

03:11 Despite this, they are hoping that their trip will be fine

03:14 and that they will be able to return to their provinces this Christmas.

03:19 Connie?

03:20 Thank you very much, Oscar Oida.
