00:00Like a law in physics, an action will always have an opposite or equal reaction.
00:06Thus, if there were those who traveled to the provinces to spend the holidays there,
00:12then there will also be those who will travel back to the metropolis after the end of all the festivities.
00:19PTV's Noelle Talacay gives us the update live at the Parañaque Integrated Terminal Exchange or PTX.
00:27Good evening, Noelle.
00:31Princess, a day after the holidays, the situation of some terminals in Metro Manila are still normal.
00:40The management of these terminals are expecting the passengers in flux over the weekend.
00:47And they're also saying that some Filipinos who went home to their provinces extended their vacation.

01:12In just a few minutes, a bus coming from Occidental Mindoro set foot on the same terminal where Jason is one of the passengers.
01:24There's not much traffic. It's easy to return here.
01:29Jason and Emily are among the multitude who went to their home provinces to celebrate the holidays.
01:36And now they're over, they're headed back to Metro Manila as early as they could to avoid the exodus of passengers this weekend.
