00:00And the ship's voyages to Manila North Port are also fully booked.
00:05In Naia, the return of the countrymen will start arriving.
00:09And Joseph Moro is live there.
00:12Joseph.
00:16Vicky, there are more and more passengers in our airports.
00:19And here in Naia Terminal 3, there are scenes of reunions
00:23that we have witnessed for a long time.
00:30The scenes at the airport are full of love whenever Christmas comes.
00:35Parents who are returning from abroad,
00:37for even a short moment, they can be with their loved ones again.
00:42This is Jonathan, who works in Taiwan.
00:45He changes first to a child who waits for him until...
00:53Jonathan has been with his four-year-old child
00:56for only two times since he gave birth to him.
00:59I was also in Taiwan when he was born.
01:02Did you see him there?
01:03Yes, for one month, and now again.
01:05How do you feel?
01:07Happy.
01:08This is Lisa, who has been with the Filipinos for Christmas
01:11for only 17 days of her vacation.
01:15Happy.
01:17With my family, of course.
01:19If there are people coming, there are also people leaving.
01:22Like Mang Boy, who is going to celebrate Christmas out of the country
01:26for his son who is in Macau to have a vacation there.
01:29Vacation in Macau.
01:31You go there first?
01:32Yes.
01:33Sounds good.
01:34According to MIA, they are expecting the peak
01:36or the largest number of passengers at the airport
01:38on December 22, this Christmas holiday.
01:41If you have a trip this Christmas holiday,
01:43MIA recommends two hours before your domestic flight.
01:47Add one, make it three.
01:49For international flights,
01:51three hours before your flight is what you need.
01:54Now, it's four hours.
01:56According to MIA, baggage systems and air-cons have already been repaired
02:00to avoid accidents, especially this peak season.
02:04We have not received any reports of breakdowns
02:09or any issues surrounding the baggage handling systems in all terminals.
02:14As of now, the average number of passengers daily at the airport is 150,000.
02:20For the entire holiday season,
02:224.3 million passengers are expected to use flights.
02:274.5 million passengers are expected by the Philippine Ports Authority
02:32or PPA in all ports across the country until January 5.
02:36In Manila North Port,
02:38the province's passengers are expected to return home for Christmas.
02:41RJ will return home with his dog in Palawan
02:44during his vacation there.
02:46He's there for good.
02:47Yes.
02:48Take him home.
02:49According to the PPA,
02:51they are not cancelling flights to the ports
02:53in the face of a low-pressure area in Mindanao.
02:57Our flights to the ports are still ongoing.
03:00Of course, the suspension is made by announcements
03:03by the Philippine Coast Guard.
03:05They are also expecting a peak in December 22.
03:08According to the shipping company that travels here,
03:11their ships' flights are fully booked until December 24.
03:15There are no flights in December 25.
03:17They will return to operations on December 26.
03:25Vicky, in these moments,
03:26as you can see,
03:27our countrymen who will be traveling outside of Manila
03:30will no longer be here.
03:32And December 22 will be even longer.
03:35Now, it will be difficult for you to enter.
03:37You will have to choose a vehicle.
03:38Just to remind you, Vicky,
03:39when it comes to domestic flights,
03:40the previous two,
03:41you will be allowed only three hours.
03:43Four for international flights.
03:45Vicky?
03:46Thank you very much, Joseph Moro.
