00:00Our countrymen are slowly returning home from their respective provinces.
00:05For this, let's find out the update on the situation in one of the bus terminals in Cobao.
00:10This is Denis Osorio of PTV in Balitang Pambansa Live.
00:13Denis.
00:15It's just the end of a long weekend for most of our countrymen.
00:20And since last night, the number of people fleeing or returning to Manila from their respective provinces has increased.
00:27Some experienced a hard time in traveling due to the large number of people.
00:33Some also experienced a quick trip.
00:36Like Josephine Castillo, she usually travels for 7 hours a day from Pangasinan.
00:44But it only took 4 hours.
00:47It's fast, there's no traffic.
00:50But for Jomar Ospil, the trip took longer.
00:54He also had a hard time because of the large number of people, even if it was a night trip.
01:00It's hard, there's a lot of people.
01:02And it's tiring, there's a lot of hassle in the queue.
01:07Now, it's 6 hours.
01:09The trip is 5 to 6 hours from Pangasinan.
01:11But if there's no traffic, the regular trip takes 4 to 5 hours.
01:18According to Marlene De La Cruz,
01:20nothing has changed because the passengers are still the same.
01:24And there's a queue as long as there's a bus coming.
01:28The authorities are expecting 12,000 to 15,000 people to arrive today.
01:36That's for the whole day here in Manila.
01:39And because of that, let's look at the traffic situation this morning.
01:45Let's start here in El Zafubao, where the traffic is bumper to bumper from Southbound Lane
01:50to Quezon Avenue, all the way to Anapolis.
01:56The traffic is fast, but before it reaches Boni Avenue,
02:00it's already busy until it reaches Buentia Avenue.
02:04Meanwhile, the traffic is more relaxed in Northbound Lane,
02:09but there's a bit of slowdown when it comes to May Araneta.
02:13The farmers market passed until Aurora Boulevard,
02:17but the traffic continues until Cloverleaf.
02:21If it rains in Pasay or Makati,
02:24the traffic from Guadalupe to Guadix Drive to Ortigas Avenue is still slow.
02:31That's the latest news from El Zafubao.
02:35We'll be back, Ace.
02:37Thank you very much, Denise Osorio of PTV.
