00:00It's Christmas Eve, but many of our countrymen are still in a rush for last-minute shopping.
00:06And of course, for a cheap gift, Divisoria is one of the first places we'll visit.
00:12Let's find out the situation there from Denise Osorio, live.
00:16Denise?
00:18Yes, Audrey. It's still early.
00:20Some of the late shoppers or last-minute shoppers have already gone to Divisoria
00:25because they can still buy gifts, even if it's just a few hours before Christmas.
00:31But, it's really noticeable that this year, the people here in Divisoria are really tight-lipped.
00:38According to the vendors, it's hard to compete with the prices on online shopping websites and apps.
00:44Usually, the buyers compare the prices online and to the vendors.
00:50Most of the time, when they ask us, they look at their phones.
00:57Online shopping is cheaper than online shopping now.
00:59Online shopping is half as cheap as online shopping.
01:03But, there are still some Paroquians who are really tight-lipped about Divisoria.
01:07They're sure that they'll be able to find something to buy.
01:10Aside from that, you don't need to wait for days or hours if you're a last-minute shopper.
01:17Just like JV Bautista, who has already gone to Divisoria to make a donation.
01:23We're making a donation for the children.
01:25What's important is that they'll be able to enjoy Christmas.
01:30Other youths are really tight-lipped about their salary.
01:33That's why they ran to Divisoria because their Christmas party will be held later this afternoon.
01:40The salary has just arrived.
01:42Yes, the salary has just arrived.
01:44It's hard to choose when there are so many people.
01:46It's hard to choose when there are so many people.
01:49Audrey, it's also important to note that there are more people selling food and fruits here.
01:56According to the residents here, they are more generous today
02:00so that they can give to other people who are selling food and fruits.
02:05That's the latest news from Divisoria.
02:08Back to you, Audrey.
02:09Thank you very much, Denise Osorio.
