00:19Ivan, here in Paranaque Integrated Terminal Exchange or PITX,
00:23we have a few relatives who are here to travel to their respective provinces
00:29to celebrate the holiday season.
00:32They are now in a hurry to avoid the expected crowds of travelers,
00:37especially since Christmas is just around the corner.
00:45After six months, Jimuel's family will be reunited.
00:49He accompanied his mother, who came from Buryas Island in Masbate,
00:53to join him in the celebration of Christmas this year.
00:56I accompanied them from PITX to Cavite.
00:59They will celebrate Christmas and New Year here.
01:01We are just in a hurry to go to Tagaytay.
01:05His mother, Pilar, came from Puerto Princesa in Palawan
01:08and will go home to her family in Bicol.
01:11She is the only one who is traveling, so she is in a hurry to avoid the expected crowds of travelers.
01:16I already booked a ticket. It's 6.30 now.
01:19I didn't queue up.
01:20When I arrive, I'm lucky that no one is buying yet.
01:24Lani and Alexandra, who are aunties, arrived at PITX last night.
01:28They will go home to Iriga City in Bicol.
01:31I accompanied her because it's her first time to celebrate Christmas here in Manila.
01:36We went to PITX last night.
01:40That's why we didn't get a ride.
01:43We just got a reservation.
01:47When we arrived here, there were a lot of people.
01:50The safety here in the terminal is good.
01:55They also bought Christmas decorations in Divisoria.
01:59Here in PITX, there is a help desk that travelers can go to for any assistance they need.
02:06They can also check the luggage that is being brought to the terminal.
02:14Ivan, as of past 7 a.m., this is the situation here at the entrance of the terminal.
02:21There are people queuing up because it's rush hour.
02:25There is also a time when our passengers who brought luggage or boxes to the terminal
02:32are being inspected by our security personnel here at PITX.
02:40That's the latest news from Paranaque City.
