00:00The road of vehicles in the North Luzon Expressway is very wide,
00:05except for the Bukawe-Bulacan part because of the number of people who are buying tickets.
00:10Even if only a few hours are left before the new year,
00:14the flow of those who are chasing to go home is still continuing.
00:20And it's not a coincidence that some of the tickets have already increased in price.
00:26That's what Rod Laguzan wrote.
00:31Billy and Denayo are from Tondo, Manila.
00:34They came to Bukawe to buy tickets for the New Year's Eve.
00:38It's their tradition to buy tickets whenever the year changes.
00:42That's why they noticed that there are a lot of tickets that they bought.
00:46For us, it's not a coincidence.
00:48It's like a tradition.
00:50Every year, it's really beautiful.
00:52It's louder, it's better, it's luckier.
00:54Good fortune will come in.
00:57With what they bought, there are a few rounds of fireworks, aerial fireworks, and fountains.
01:02Billy, from Quezon City, also chased to buy fireworks.
01:06But he's already saving this year for buying fireworks.
01:09Usually, I really buy here.
01:11It's time for Bukawe to travel now.
01:14Then, let's go home. Let's go home to Manila.
01:17With what he bought, there are fireworks and kuitis.
01:20They are the only two brothers who will buy fireworks here in Bukawe.
01:24According to Dayan's shop, since December 29, many people are buying from them.
01:29Including the first ones who ordered.
01:31There are still a lot of people.
01:33It's not enough.
01:35It's like this rush hour.
01:37There are a lot of people.
01:39I think there will be more because we know that there are Filipinos.
01:42When there is a rush hour like this, that's when it comes.
01:45That's when it chases.
01:46There are some who pay a high price while others are cheap.
01:50The most sold to them are aerial fireworks.
01:53They start from P550 while the most expensive one is P45,000.
01:58It depends on the number of shots it has.
02:01The fountain can also be bought from P3,100, the smallest one.
02:06While the price of the biggest fountain is P1,500.
02:10While the most popular one is P180, the cheapest one.
02:14Sales are high now compared to before.
02:17It's like it's still pandemic.
02:19It's still tight.
02:20But now, sales are better.
02:22To make sure that the sales of fireworks are safe,
02:25there are fire extinguishers in their stores.
02:28And the people who smoke in the area are being harassed.
02:31Aside from this, there is also a firefighter from the Bureau of Fire Protection.
02:36Meanwhile, the traffic of cars in Balintawaktul Plaza, Enlex, has become wide.
02:40And the traffic of cars here is continuous.
02:43There is a slow queue for the cash lane.
02:45But when it passes here, the travel is fast.
02:49But when it goes out of Bukawe Exit, there is a slow down because of the many people who choose to stay in the area.
02:54And to avoid this, there are traffic enforcers who are in charge of the traffic in the area.
