00:00Some families chose to celebrate Christmas in indoor parks and malls in Manila.
00:06On the other hand, despite the frequent arrivals of people walking,
00:10the police are strictly enforcing the safety of various streets in the city.
00:16Luisa Erispe was at the center of the news.
00:21The rain almost never stops all morning in the city of Manila.
00:26But because of the behavior of some Filipinos who walk every Christmas,
00:30many did not care about the rain and just went straight to indoor parks and malls in Manila.
00:37Like the family of Ali, who should have gone to public parks or lunetas,
00:42but they went home to Manila Ocean Park, which is also a well-known park in Manila,
00:47because it is said that the children are safe from the rain.
00:51They chose the right place because the park also has a new location,
00:55like the Christmas Village that has rides for children.
00:59And there is also the Philippine Biodome,
01:01where you can have a personal experience with different types of animals.
01:05I thought we wouldn't be able to continue,
01:07but for the family to be happy, we really continued.
01:11The children are still beautiful.
01:14It's not just indoor parks that are visited by those looking for fun this Christmas.
01:19Many also went to the malls early to watch the movies.
01:23Like Shaira, who was already in line outside the mall at 9 in the morning.
01:29They want to watch the movies of the Metro Manila Film Festival early.
01:34My family and my son go to the movies with us.
01:39We watch the movies.
01:42When the cinema is open, there are a lot of MFF entries,
01:48that's why we went here early, ma'am.
01:51In outdoor parks, because of the rain, there are only a few people.
01:56In Luneta, there are a few people who visit, but it doesn't last long.
02:01In Manila Zoo, there are also people who went there,
02:03but the rain just passed through the umbrella.
02:06The next day, we will also go home.
02:09Even if it rains now, we will still go.
02:13You didn't worry that you might get sick?
02:16That's right. We have an umbrella.
02:19We are ready.
02:21They also want to go, that's why we followed them even if it rains.
02:27The Manila Police District said that they are expecting a lot of people to go to the malls this Christmas.
02:33That's why they will watch this this Christmas.
02:36Like yesterday, there are still 1,000 to 2,000 police officers deployed in the entire city.
02:43All places of convergence, we have deployments there.
02:48In places where there are a lot of people,
02:51we have people who are being blended there,
02:53including police officers in plainclothes,
02:56to monitor those who might commit crimes.
