Just hours before the Noche Buena (Christmas Eve dinner), passengers at the PITX rushed to go back to their hometowns.
The PITX management strictly implemented protocols on travel documents especially for passengers who are 66 years and above and 17 years old below.
“Kung sila po ay magbibiyahe, unang-una kung di namam talaga essential o talagang kailangang-kailangan itong gagawin nilang pagbibiyahe. Kung maaari iwasan na lang po muna kasi alam naman natin ‘yung ating mga kabataan at yung mga nakakatanda, ay highly vulnerable sa banta ng COVID 19 (If they are traveling, first of all [they should consider] if it is not that essential or if it is really necessary. If possible, it is better for children and old people to avoid traveling since they are highly vulnerable to the threat of COVID-19),” PITX Head, Jason Salvador urged.
But if it is unavoidable, Salvador advised travelers to secure a travel authority,.
With passengers hurrying to catch Noche Buena, social distancing proved to be a challenge. Other people were not wearing face masks and shields properly as well.
Police personnel were on standby to remind the public about the health protocols. – Report by Daniel Manalastas
