00:08in the terminals and crossings of Undas.
00:11The details are brought to you by Bernard Ferrer of PTV Manila.
00:17Ray and his cousin went home early to Magallanes, Cavite for Undas.
00:22They are trying to avoid heavy traffic, especially since many are already returning home to the provinces.
00:28How long will your trip take to Magallanes, Cavite?
00:31About 5 hours.
00:33At the entrance of Paranaque Integrated Terminal Exchange or PITX,
00:37the line of passengers is getting longer.
00:39It is estimated that 1.4 million passengers are expected to arrive at the terminal of Undas.
00:45In the visit of Transportation Secretary Jaime Bautista,
00:48he spotted a wrong bus route.
00:51Although the bus company has a permit,
00:54it is not the right route.
00:56But we need to fix it.
00:58If it is not fixed,
01:00if there is an accident,
01:03they might not be able to claim the insurance.
01:06As of now, almost 800 buses have been given a special permit
01:09by the Land Transportation Franchising and Regulatory Board
01:12to be able to travel to Undas.
01:14The Land Transportation Office in Roadworthiness
01:17has already inspected the traveling buses
01:19and the bus drivers have also been drug tested.
01:22Secretary Bautista was pleased with the level of security in PITX.
01:26We have PNP personnel,
01:29we have Coast Guard,
01:31the LTO is here,
01:33and the operators of PITX also have their own security personnel.
01:39So far, everything is fine.
01:41Even on the flight,
01:43Bautista assured that their off-land trip will be carried out properly.
01:48Early morning, I called an area meeting
01:52for all the managers of the 12 areas
01:56where they reported their plans,
02:00their preparations.
02:02The DOTR also reminded passengers
02:04to follow the instructions given
02:06to the terminal buses
02:08and fly them to make their trip proper.
02:11It is also better to avoid prohibited items
02:15such as flammable materials.
