00:00
A fire broke out at a bus terminal in Edsa, Cubao earlier this afternoon.
00:15
20 houses were burned.
00:17
A man was hit by a second-degree burn on his chest and back.
00:22
According to the authorities, the fire started on the second floor of a house.
00:27
The adjacent terminal was not affected by the fire that lasted for more than half an hour.
00:34
There will be a long wait for those who will pass through Edsa tonight.
00:38
The traffic is still heavy because the people returning to the province,
00:44
those returning from work, and those shopping at the mall are all traveling at the same time.
00:47
From Edsa North Avenue, my live reporter, Von Aquino.
00:50
Von.
00:51
Atom, the Christmas rush is already felt here in Metro Manila
00:58
because this evening, the traffic was tight in some parts of Edsa
01:02
in front of the big malls in Quezon City and Mandaluyong City.
01:10
Past 6 p.m., the traffic was slow in Edsa Northbound Lane in front of two malls.
01:16
This part of Edsa will become a bottleneck because of the cars coming out of the mall.
01:21
The mall goer, Myla, had a hard time riding.
01:24
It's hard because I've been booking for an hour and there's still none.
01:27
Now, it has arrived.
01:29
At 7 p.m., the traffic was tight in Edsa Cubao Southbound Lane.
01:33
There were also some provincial buses coming out of their station.
01:37
In Edsa Ortigas, the traffic was also slow in front of a mall, especially Northbound.
01:42
But after this, the traffic was allowed but again, it was slow when Edsa Santolan arrived.
01:47
In Kuha ng Drone, you can see the look of Edsa Northbound earlier,
01:51
which was red because of the heavy traffic.
01:53
According to the MFDA, the volume of cars coming from work and malls is at the same time.
01:59
Even motorcycle taxis that are stuck in the middle of the traffic,
02:03
it's also hard for passengers to pick up.
02:05
It's hard because of the traffic.
02:09
It's also small.
02:10
When it comes to the pick-up point, the passengers will also cancel
02:14
because it took a long time for us to arrive because of the traffic.
02:20
Atom, here in North Edsa, the traffic flow is still slow.
02:24
The thick volume of cars here in Edsa
02:28
coincides with the cars coming out of the mall
02:33
here in Edsa, Quezon City.
02:35
Atom?
02:37
Thank you very much, Vaughn Aquino.
02:39
The air-conditioned buses for Bicol are now fully booked.
02:43
It took them 8 hours to get a ticket today.
02:48
Let's check the situation in PITX with the live report of Jamie Santos.
02:53
Jamie?
02:58
Atom, this last Friday before Christmas,
03:01
the number of PITX passengers who will be going home to their provinces this Christmas has skyrocketed.
03:10
In a row, people are buying tickets to different provinces in Bicol.
03:15
Some of them will only buy a ticket to go home today.
03:19
There are also early birds who booked online,
03:22
like Aldric who bought a ticket to go home to Daraga Albay on November 20.
03:27
My system is like this.
03:28
One month before, I have already planned everything
03:32
so that I won't be hassled when booking.
03:37
He has already bought food, so he is ready to face the heavy traffic.
03:42
From Agusan to Bicol, this family will be celebrating Christmas.
03:46
It's only 10 in the morning and they are already here in PITX.
03:51
It's been more than 8 hours.
03:54
We can still ride, but it's still 8 p.m.
03:57
According to the PITX, some Bicol air-conditioned buses are already fully booked.
04:03
But there are still non-air-conditioned buses that can be ridden.
04:07
They also checked the buses thoroughly.
04:09
There was a problem on the way back from the terminal because of the traffic in Bicol.
04:14
It's a big help for the passengers who already have an LRT station in PITX.
04:19
It's very convenient.
04:20
It's fast. There's no traffic.
04:22
It's just one-way.
04:23
The bus will come to us.
04:25
The security of the terminal is tight and there are police guards.
04:30
But a female passenger fell asleep in the police station because she lost her wallet.
04:35
So the authorities are reminding them to be alert and not to be reckless.
04:44
Atom, until tomorrow, the PITX is expecting more passengers to arrive at the terminal.
04:50
It's expected that 200,000 passengers will arrive today.
04:54
As of 10 p.m., the foot traffic of passengers here is already at 196,893.
05:01
And live from Paranaque, I'm Jaime Santos, reporting for Jimmy, Integrated News.
05:08
Thank you very much, Jaime Santos.
05:11
The Christmas rush in the North Luzon Expressway has passed because of the early trips to the province.
05:16
In Naia and Manila North Port, the peak of passengers is expected on Sunday.
05:22
Joseph Moro has a report.
05:27
The number of passengers in Naia has increased.
05:29
Among them is Mang Boy, who is going abroad for vacation this Christmas.
05:32
Vacation in Macau.
05:34
Go there first. It's delicious.
05:37
But some returned to their hometowns and were asked to spend Christmas here in the Philippines.
05:41
Like Jonathan, who is an OFW in Taiwan.
05:44
He was repressed by his son for a month when he was last with him.
05:47
How do you feel?
05:49
Happy.
05:50
According to MIA, they are expecting the peak or the most number of passengers at the airport on December 22, this Christmas holiday.
05:57
If you have a trip this Christmas holiday, MIA recommends two hours before your domestic flight.
06:03
Add one more, make it three.
06:05
For international flights, make it three hours before your domestic flight.
06:10
Now, it's four hours.
06:12
MIA also recommended a proper baggage system and air conditioning system in Naia.
06:18
In Manila North Port, there are also a lot of passengers.
06:20
The peak of passengers is expected on Sunday.
06:23
A shipping company here is fully booked for trips until December 24.
06:28
There are no trips on December 25, so their return operation is on December 26.
06:33
Shipping companies in Pier 1 in Cebu City are also fully booked.
06:37
According to the Philippine Coast Authority, the number of passengers in the country is expected to reach 4.5 million until January 5.
06:46
In North Luzon Expressway, the traffic is already heavy.
06:49
According to NLEX, passengers are traveling in non-peak hours.
06:52
The traffic situation in the Expressway and their social media platforms can also be known.
06:58
Also, be alert to the traffic jams and overpasses,
07:01
like the one that was approached by the former Kapuso reporter, Cedric Castillo, in NLEX Tabang Square Road.
07:09
NLEX is already in contact with PNP and LGU.
07:14
For flights to Camarines Sur, there is a long wait.
07:17
For several days, there is a problem with the low-kilometer traffic on the Andaya Highway due to the roads being built.
07:23
The DPWH said that it's already around the clock to ease the traffic.
07:27
In Dagupan City, Pangasinan, passengers are already feeling the difficulty of traveling in bus terminals.
07:33
It is expected that the number of passengers will increase tonight, especially those who will travel to Bales, Baguio, and Isabela.
07:39
Joseph Morong reporting for GMA Integrated News.
07:43
Now is the time for meetings and parties,
07:46
where the law is supposed to be stricter,
07:49
which punishes those who are drunk, even if they are tipsy.
07:54
Tina Panganiban-Perez has a report.
07:58
According to the World Health Organization,
08:01
road traffic crash is the primary cause of death of 15 to 29 years old.
08:08
Of the more than 18,000 road crashes in the country from 2015 to 2019,
08:15
more than 5,000 are connected to alcohol.
08:18
Three out of ten road-related accidents resulting in death
08:25
are due to alcoholism or intoxication.
08:29
There are anti-drunk and drug-driving acts
08:32
that punish those who are drunk or on drugs.
08:38
The ACT-Bayan Party List has adopted a bill to tighten the law,
08:43
and even if they are tipsy, they are asked not to allow them to drive.
08:48
The government is also encouraging the purchase of more breathalyzers.
08:54
Designated drivers or alternative transportation for those who are drunk is also being considered.
09:01
Impaired driving is also being considered as a more severe punishment.
09:06
From three months in prison and a fine of P20,000 to P80,000
09:11
for cases of less serious physical injuries,
09:14
it is being considered as a year in prison and a fine of P50,000 to P100,000.
09:22
A fine of P10,000 can also be reached for a longer imprisonment
09:26
and a fine of up to P1 million depending on the severity of the case.
09:30
It is also possible to remove the license of the driver for life.
09:34
Dennis is not a real name.
09:36
He admitted several times that he was drunk when he was driving.
09:41
But instead of stopping when he's drunk, he stopped when he was driving.
09:46
Dennis is a favorite in Panukala.
09:48
I'm okay there because in order to remove a driver like me,
09:54
I will stop there.
09:56
You will stop there when you're drunk?
09:58
Yes. Because now, even if I'm drunk, I'm already committing.
10:03
The Panukalang Amiendahan of R8-10586,
10:06
which is being considered as a more severe punishment,
10:10
was also heard in the Senate.
10:15
Tina Panganiban Perez reports for GMA Integrated News.
10:21
Five days before Christmas,
10:23
there are people who are chasing the beauty of the Christmas display.
10:26
Just like the special Christmas tree in Palo Leyte,
10:29
which is made of bamboo.
10:31
Let's take a look at the report of Mark Salazar.
10:36
There are no Christmas lights, no Christmas decor,
10:39
but the bamboo Christmas tree in Palo Leyte looks beautiful.
10:44
It was helped by the local government and the team of an architect.
10:49
Because of its beauty, it was appreciated by the locals
10:52
as the best Christmas tree in the Philippines.
10:57
The Christmas lights of the Tawi-Tawi Police Provincial Office
11:00
are made of mineral water gallons.
11:03
There are a lot of beauties here,
11:05
especially the police who help to recycle.
11:07
It has become an attraction in the area.
11:10
The Dancing Fountain in front of the Archdiocesan Shrine and Parish of the St. Joseph the Patriarch in San Jose, Batangas
11:19
is the highlight of the Christmas song.
11:26
The fountain show can be watched every night until December 24.
11:30
The Christmas Concert of the University of Santo Tomas is full of music and dance.
11:40
This is one of the highlights of their month-long Christmas celebration.
11:47
In the safe aurora, in the straight line of Calabao, Santa Claus is riding.
11:51
It's really good vibes.
11:53
His unique Christmas gift delivery.
