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 live, we're joined by Joseph Moro.
00:12Joseph.
00:16Vicky, the number of passengers in our airports and ports is increasing.
00:19And here in Naia Terminal 3,
00:21there are scenes of reunions
00:23that we have witnessed for a long time.
00:30The scenes at the airport are full of love
00:33whenever Christmas comes.
00:35Parents coming home from abroad
00:37for even a short moment,
00:38they can be with their loved ones again.
00:42This is Jonathan, who works in Taiwan.
00:45He's changed from a son who waits for him
00:47until...
00:48Son.
00:53Jonathan has been with his four-year-old son
00:56for only two times since he was born.
00:59I was also in Taiwan when he was born.
01:02You saw him there?
01:03Yes, for a month.
01:04And now, again.
01:05How do you feel?
01:07I'm happy.
01:08Lisa has been with her family in the Philippines for Christmas
01:11for only 17 days.
01:15I'm happy.
01:17I'm with my family, of course.
01:19If there are people coming,
01:20there are also people leaving.
01:22Like Mang Boy, who is going to celebrate Christmas out of the country
01:24because his son will be free in Macau
01:27to go there for vacation.
01:29Vacation in Macau.
01:31You're going there first?
01:32Yes.
01:32That's nice.
01:33According to MIA,
01:34they're expecting the peak
01:35or the largest number of passengers at the airport
01:37on December 22,
01:39this Christmas holiday.
01:40If you have a trip this Christmas holiday,
01:42MIA recommends two hours
01:44before your domestic flight.
01:46Add one, make it three.
01:49For international flights,
01:50before, it was only three.
01:52Before your flight,
01:53what you need now is four hours.
01:55According to MIA,
01:57baggage systems and aircon have been repaired
02:00to avoid accidents,
02:01especially during this peak season.
02:03We have not received any reports of breakdowns
02:09or any issues surrounding the baggage handling systems
02:12in all terminals.
02:14Currently, the average number of passengers
02:18at the airport is 150,000 a day.
02:20For the entire holiday season,
02:22PAPALO is expecting 4.3 million passengers
02:25to use the airport.
02:274.5 million passengers are expected
02:30by the Philippine Ports Authority
02:33to be in the country until January 5.
02:36In Manila North Port,
02:38the province is expecting
02:39a lot of people to go home for Christmas.
02:41RJ will go home to his dog in Palawan
02:44during his vacation there.
02:46He's already there, Flavio.
02:47You should go home.
02:49According to PPA,
02:50they are not cancelling their trips to the ports
02:53in the face of a low-pressure area in Mindanao.
02:57Our trips 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' trips are fully booked
03:13until December 24.
03:15They are not traveling on December 25
03:17and will return to operation on December 26.
03:25Vicky, in these moments,
03:26as you can see,
03:27our countrymen have no choice
03:30but to travel outside of Manila.
03:32And December 22 will be even worse.
03:35Now, it will be hard for you to get in
03:37and choose your vehicles.
03:38Just to remind you, Vicky,
03:39if it's a domestic flight,
03:40you'll have to wait for three hours.
03:43For international flights, it's four hours.
03:46Vicky?
03:46Sige, maraming salamat sa'yo, Joseph Moro.
