00:00Christmas is just around the corner.
00:02The Filipinos are ready to spend it not only as a gift and a good night's sleep,
00:06but also as a way to improve themselves.
00:08For more details on Noel's country news, let's go to PTV Manila Live, Noel.
00:13♪
00:29Joshua, you know, we went around here in several places in Metro Manila
00:34and we really saw that we still have fellow Filipinos
00:37who are really eager to prepare to celebrate Christmas Eve.
00:42Meanwhile, Joshua is running around the parlor to be presentable and beautiful
00:48while they are celebrating Christmas.
00:53Every time we celebrate Christmas,
00:55some of our Catholic brothers and sisters try to be good to themselves.
01:00That's why these young Filipinos are eager to wait outside this parlor to cut their hair.
01:09So that we can celebrate Christmas before we cut our hair.
01:14New haircut, new me.
01:16According to the owner of Sachi Beauty Salon in Tondo, Manila,
01:20his parlor is still fully booked.
01:22A few hours before Christmas,
01:24it's proven that there are still a lot of customers waiting.
01:28It's still very busy.
01:30The Christmas rush that hasn't been done in the past few days
01:35is still going on.
01:36That's why it's still loaded.
01:37According to some studies on how Filipinos prepare for Christmas,
01:41Filipinos are spending money on clothes and getting ready.
01:45That includes the parlor.
01:48Because most Filipinos want to be presentable and beautiful
01:53during the celebration of Christmas.
01:55But there are some of our fellow Filipinos
01:57who will celebrate Christmas away from their families.
02:01Just like Allan Judian and his fellow Filipinos in the agency.
02:05They will fly to other countries to work.
02:08They will celebrate Christmas in Quezon City Circle.
02:12It's painful because you're far from your spouse and children.
02:17You just enjoy it here.
02:20Meanwhile, a few hours before Christmas,
02:23there are no more passengers in Manila Port.
02:25It's quiet and the booths of the shipping companies are closed.
02:31Joshua, I'm here in Quezon City Circle.
02:35At this time, there are a lot of people here.
02:39There are families and friends.
02:41As you can see, they will celebrate Christmas here in Quezon City Circle.
02:49At this time, there is a mass being held here in Quezon City Circle.
02:56I can also see security around here
02:59to make sure that people are safe here in Quezon City Circle
03:04while they are celebrating Christmas.
03:07Joshua?
03:09Thank you very much, Noel Talacay.
