00:00More and more people are traveling to Enlex to celebrate Christmas in the provinces.
00:05In fact, according to Enlex,
00:08most people are expected to travel outside of Metro Manila.
00:14Let's find out the update of the situation
00:16from the national news,
00:18Isaiah Mirafuentes of PTV.
00:21Live, Isaiah.
00:24Merry Christmas!
00:26Here at the North Luzon Expressway,
00:28the number of vehicles are continuously increasing.
00:32Two days before Christmas.
00:37It is expected that more vehicles will pass through the North Luzon Expressway today.
00:42It is possible that some of our countrymen will start their vacation at work today.
00:49And some of them may have just taken a day off.
00:52It is expected that there will be heavy traffic until tomorrow afternoon or the day before Christmas.
01:00Earlier, we entered the North Luzon Expressway.
01:02Some parts of the Expressway were hit by heavy traffic.
01:07But some parts were also hit by vehicles.
01:12Some of the travelers we talked to earlier
01:14are going to the provinces in the north for vacation.
01:18Some of them intentionally rushed through the NLEX
01:22so that they will not be hit by heavy traffic.
01:26It is a warning to motorists
01:28to make sure that your RFID has a load before entering the Expressway
01:32to avoid traffic jams on your trips and for other motorists.
01:37Because if you are hit by a vehicle without a load,
01:40it will cause heavy traffic
01:43because no one will be able to follow you
01:46but you will have to wait for a load.
01:47Meanwhile, it is expected that there will be more traffic tomorrow night.
01:51But it is possible that it will become heavier on Friday
01:54for the return of Metro Manila.
01:56And our countrymen here will celebrate the new year.
02:01I am now here at Balintawak Toll Plaza.
02:03As you can see behind me,
02:05there are a lot of vehicles entering the toll gate.
02:11According to the NLEX,
02:13it is expected that this afternoon or later tonight,
02:17motorists are expected to arrive here
02:19and they have already deployed 1,500 personnel
02:24who will guard the entire length of the NLEX.
02:27They will also guard their traffic control center 24x7.
02:31That's all for the update here at North Luzon Expressway.
02:34Back to you, Alan.
