00:00It's the last day of the week before Christmas and the Christmas rush is already here for those who are in a rush to buy a Christmas gift for Divisoria and Baklaran.
00:10And from Parañaque, we have a surprise!
00:13Jamie Sanchez.
00:15Jamie?
00:18Marita! Marita!
00:20Pia, it's only 3 AM and it's already Christmas.
00:23That's why a lot of our countrymen took advantage of the weekend before Christmas for their last-minute Christmas shopping.
00:35After visiting Baklaran Church, a lot of people went straight to the markets around the church.
00:41A lot of people are looking for things to buy to complete their Christmas gift.
00:47Here, it's cheaper. It's already complete and I'm buying things for my children.
00:52Dresses, that's all. And T-shirts. It's a bit hard to choose because it's cheaper.
01:00But according to the sellers, the sales are still slow.
01:05It's very slow. Before, if it's a week like this, it used to be 20,000 pesos.
01:11Now, it's less than 10,000 pesos.
01:14It's because of online shopping.
01:17Bumper-to-bumper cars are entering the church and parking is difficult.
01:23In Divisoria in Manila, a lot of people also went for last-minute shopping.
01:28Compared to yesterday, it's more spacious in Edsa although there's moderate to slow traffic in some places.
01:40Pia, a reminder to those who have cars who want to buy here in Baklaran.
01:44Parking is difficult and during this time, the number of people coming to Baklaran is still continuous.
01:50And the latest from here, back to you, Pia.
01:54Thank you very much, Jimmy Santos.
