00:23Jadeline is traveling to Batangas today for a short vacation with her family.
00:27During the whole week, they plan to spend a long work break in Bulacan.
00:31Paka-swimming po. Paka-swimming po talaga.
00:34Simbahan naman?
00:36Sa grotto.
00:37Pag-ano ba? Medyo mag-astos pa ba?
00:41Sa... siguro po, mas mag-astos po kasi mas madami kami.
00:45A few weeks before whole week, an inspection of the Parañaque Integrated Terminal Exchange, or PITX, facilities was conducted by
00:53Office for Transportation Security,
00:55Undersecretary Gilbert Cruz, MMDA General Manager Nicolas Sorda III, and MRT3 General Manager Michael Capati.
01:02This forms part of the OTS annual audit and assessment of the terminal's readiness for the expected influx of travelers.
01:09Sa PITX, nakita namin na meron pa dapat improve, although naka-inplace na rin yung mga security na ginagawa nila.
01:16Like meron na rin sila ng mga walk-in scanners nila, nagdagdag na rin sila ng additional personnel for security.
01:24The OTS is set to launch an information campaign to guide passengers and ensure smooth and safe travel.
01:30Yung mga blades, bawal yan. Pinagbabawal din natin yung pagdadala. Minsan, yung mga easy open cans sa airport, pinagbabawal na
01:39namin yan kasi yung takip noon, pwede mo nang gawing blade.
01:42The agency will also implement measures regarding the separation of incoming and outgoing passengers at the LRT1 PITX station to
01:50ensure security in the area.
01:52The MMDA will provide recommendation to PITX management to further improve services for commuters.
01:57The MMDA also assured a 5-minute response time for any emergency on major roads.
02:12Meanwhile, MRT3 continues in preparations, particularly rehabilitation works being carried out in several of its stations.
02:20PITX has also committed to installing additional CCTV cameras in various strategic locations inside the terminal.
02:26One of the recommendations of the OTS.
02:29Pagdagdagdag naman ng CCTV is part of our plan, no? So, magdagdag naman talaga tayo. And thank you na notice
02:38nila yun. And syempre, para din naman sa safety ng mga pasahero natin.
02:42An estimated 3 million travelers are expected to pass through PITX during the whole week.
02:47The situation at ticket booth and bus trips departing Metro Manila remains normal.
