00:00Despite the start of the Holy Week commemoration,
00:02Cubao bus terminals in Quezon City are not seeing a heavy surge of passengers this Holy Wednesday
00:07as travelers head to their respective provinces.
00:11This report.
00:14As the Holy Week observance begins,
00:16some of our countrymen have chosen to return to their respective provinces,
00:19but it is noticeable that there is no heavy surge of passengers at bus terminals in Cubao this Holy Wednesday.
00:26During our rounds in several bus terminals in Cubao, Quezon City,
00:29there were passengers waiting, but some areas had no long lines.
00:34This comes as government employees are on a half-day work schedule
00:37and oil prices remain high due to the conflict in the Middle East.
00:41Kenneth, who had a half-day at work in Pampanga, is hoping to find a ride home to Lopez, Quezon.
00:46I'm not sure, sir, but we're looking for where we're going to be.
00:50I'm sure, until we're not going to see where we're going to be,
00:54we'll stay here and we'll be going to be here.
00:56He said he is taking advantage of the Holy Week break to go home
01:00and will return to work again by Monday.
01:02According to Kenneth, it also helps that there are not many people.
01:06Kathy, in the meantime, arrived early at the terminal with her family to avoid heavy traffic.
01:10They booked their tickets as early as yesterday to avoid any inconvenience.
01:35She said they are headed to Batangas for a vacation.
01:37Police officers, traffic enforcers, and other personnel are also deployed
01:42around the bus terminals in Cubao to maintain order.
