00:00Earlier, the traffic on the expressways started to get heavy and it is expected that it will get heavier until later tonight. Live from Balintawak, Mark Salazar, Mark.
00:14Emil, the motorists have been trying to get to the north for a while now.
00:24Their queue is really long. It should be even longer than this.
00:28More than one kilometer of this line of vehicles are just about to enter Balintawaktol Plaza.
00:39According to NLEX traffic monitoring,
00:41it was noticed since last night that the amount of vehicles traveling to the north is estimated to reach 400,000 vehicles.
00:49Because of the long queue, the traffic didn't get longer and it didn't take long.
00:55Some of the motorists we talked to said that they learned how to feel to avoid the exodus.
01:01When will you return?
01:03Maybe in two or three days.
01:06Maybe in two or three days to avoid the traffic.
01:11Many of the motorists said that their families will go out first.
01:15Then they will go to their relatives when the cemetery is already empty.
01:19How many of you are there? Why is your rice cooker so big?
01:22There are a lot. We are one family.
01:25Did all of you have a reunion? No one is absent?
01:29My older brother is the only one who is not here.
01:34When will you return to Patay?
01:37On Sunday so that there won't be a lot of people.
01:41What is your plan?
01:43Because there are a lot of people, we will also avoid the children.
01:48In Galan Aurora? Yes.
01:50Who is there?
01:51No one. Just a friend.
01:53You won't return to Patay?
01:54No.
01:55You won't return to Patay?
01:58We will bring an advance.
02:00It is always reminded that the condition of the vehicle and the driver should be safe, especially if it is a long drive.
02:07They say it is a matter of taste, according to those who are used to traveling.
02:10We need water. We always need water.
02:13And brakes. Brakes are important.
02:15And what else?
02:19Water and the needs of us, the families, so that there is no safety during the trip.
02:26What is the condition of the vehicle?
02:28The condition of the vehicle?
02:30Yes.
02:31It is safe?
02:32Yes. Just be careful. It is safe and fast.
02:34It is only 80-60 kmph.
02:35Of course, the condition of the motor should be good.
02:38How is the motor condition?
02:40It is just a chainsaw. It is clean. That is important.
02:43And PMS. Bring it to the service center.
02:47Oh, like that?
02:48Yes.
02:49Yes. PMS.
02:51Since 3 p.m., the line of Balintawak-Tol Plaza has not exceeded half a kilometer.
02:57When NLEX enters, the vehicle will only run at 40-50 kph because of the accumulated volume of people from Balintawak, Valenzuela and Mindanao Avenue.
03:09This volume sometimes reaches up to Kawayan.
03:13This situation will continue.
03:15We expect that this volume will reach us by 6 p.m. or before midnight.
03:25On the South Luzon Expressway, the traffic increased earlier.
03:29But at 4 p.m., the traffic in both southbound and northbound increased by more than one kilometer.
03:36On the southbound, the traffic increased from the off-ramp of Skyway.
03:40That is 3.5 kilometers of traffic up to San Pedro.
03:45While on the northbound, or back to Manila, the traffic increased by 1.5 kilometers before the Alabang Viaduct.
03:53Another warning for those who will pass through NLEX tomorrow, there will be a holiday event, the Iglesia Ni Cristo in the Philippine Arena.
04:07According to the NLEX, the traffic will increase from here in Balintawak to Bukawe Exit.
04:16Especially the early hours before the start of the event at 9 a.m.
04:22Emil
04:28Thank you very much, Mark Salazar.
