00:16Connie, Kapuso.
00:18Four days before the New Year's Eve, there were no passengers arriving at PITX, the largest bus terminal in Metro Manila.
00:26And as you can see behind me, the line is really long.
00:29There are no passengers, Connie.
00:30It goes all the way to the other side of Kennedy Road.
00:33It's here at the PITX Terminal in Paranaque City.
00:36And as of 10 a.m., there are almost 50,000 passengers arriving at PITX.
00:41And according to PITX, today, December 27,
00:45they expect that the number of passengers arriving at PITX will reach 190,000 to 200,000 passengers.
00:53Most of the passengers are returning home via Batangas, Bicol, and Mindoro.

01:001.4 million passengers arrived at PITX.
01:05The average number of passengers is 200,000 per day this Christmas and New Year season,
01:11according to PITX management, especially for the long weekend New Year celebration.
01:16It is strictly prohibited to use sharp objects such as knives, scissors,
01:20and any type of flammable materials,
01:22as well as any type of firecrackers and lights.
01:24As you can see here, these are just a few of the security officers here at PITX.
01:31And so far, they have not been able to confiscate any type of lights.
01:35So it is strictly prohibited,
01:37even if the type of lights is legal,
01:40it is strictly prohibited to bring it here during your trip to PITX.
01:44And that is the latest.
01:46Back to you, Con.

05:34A few days before the new year, how are the sales of fireworks and candles in Bukawe, Bulacan?
05:41We have a reporter on the spot, Jun Veneracion.
05:47Connie, the sales of fireworks and candles in Bukawe, Bulacan are very active.
05:55Dealers and retailers noticed that there are a lot of buyers after Christmas.
06:01They are hoping that it will continue from today until December 30.
06:06But that doesn't mean that a lot of people will buy because the profit is high.
06:10A dealer told us that the price of fireworks and candles is low now, so the profit is also low.
06:17Manufacturers were forced to lower the price so that their main enemy, the smuggled fireworks, can be priced at the same time.
06:26It's better if the profit is low as long as there are no losses.
06:30But because the demand is high now, there are a few products that have increased their prices,
06:35such as kwitis, judas belt, and lucis.
06:38Almost all of the stores here are open 24 hours a day.
06:42That's why there are people who go there at 6 p.m. to avoid heavy traffic in this part of Bukawe, Bulacan.
06:51And the latest from the fireworks capital of the country, back to you, Connie.
06:55Thank you very much, Jun Veneracion.

09:39seasonal illnesses are monitored in hospitals,
09:43such as upper respiratory tract infections.
09:46This has increased in the Tondo Medical Center by 25-30% compared to last week.
09:52With the unstable weather,
09:54we are really having an uptick of upper respiratory tract infections.
10:01It's probably multifactorial, like the weather,
10:06also the control at home,
10:10sometimes we forget to bring medicine.
10:12Most of those who experience this are the elderly and children.
10:15The doctor's advice is to stay at home if you don't need to go out.
10:19If you can't avoid it, wear a mask and immediately consult a doctor.
10:24The increase in lifestyle-related illness,
10:28or the so-called holiday heart syndrome, is also closely monitored.

10:42around 40% compared to last week.
10:46What's more alarming is that there are those who got a stroke in the early 30s.
10:51To avoid it, especially now that there are foods,
10:54the doctor's advice is to eat and drink properly.
10:57Avoid fatty and salty foods,
11:00and drink maintenance medicines.
