Amidst the holiday cheer, the Manila North Port Terminals experienced a surge in activity on Monday, December 18, 2023, as travelers headed for their provinces, causing a near-chaotic scene. The influx of cars carrying passengers became a common sight, creating challenges for both drivers and passengers alike during the Christmas rush.
According to some drivers, such congestion is typical during holidays, particularly the Christmas season, as families prioritize spending the festive day with their loved ones in their home provinces. Unfortunately, this festive fervor has led to a disregard for health protocols, as reported by one concerned bus driver.
