00:00A few trips to Paranaque Integrated Terminal Exchange are fully booked, a week before Holy Week.
00:05First news live, James Agustin. James.
00:13Good morning. We now have fellow countrymen who are going back to their provinces to avoid the flow of passengers from PITX in the upcoming Holy Week.
00:25Air-conditioned buses to Bicol, such as Camarines Norte, Camarines Sur, and Albay are fully booked from April 14 to 17.
00:34That's from Monday to Monday, Thursday.
00:37For non-air-conditioned ordinary buses, there are also fully booked trips to Sorsogon and Albay.
00:42According to bus dispatchers, there are extra buses that can carry chance passengers.
00:47Some passengers have already reserved their tickets.
00:50According to Paranaque Integrated Terminal Exchange or PITX, they are expecting 2.3 million passengers to travel from April 9 to the end of Holy Week.
01:01As a precaution, they are also coordinating with bus operators to ensure that the number of passengers is sufficient.
01:07As for the other passengers we talked to, they preferred to travel today to avoid the many passengers on Holy Week.
01:15We want to avoid the flow of passengers.
01:21So that it will be easier to travel and we won't reach Holy Week.
01:28It's also better because there's a discount because the fare is higher.
01:40For Holy Week, it will start from 13 to 17.
01:45It will be fully booked, especially at night.
01:48How about the chance passengers?
01:51We will know that on the same day.
01:59Meanwhile, passengers are still arriving and it's not that crowded here at PITX.
02:05Earlier, there were more passengers.
02:07The security is tight.
02:09As we can see, every passenger's luggage is being inspected.
02:13Before we continue, we also saw that they have already completed the prohibited things,
02:17such as bracelets, scissors.
02:20We also saw LPG tanks and lighters.
02:23That is the first news from Paranaque City.
02:25I am James Agustin for GMA Integrated News.
02:35Stay tuned for more news from our country.
