The Bureau of Immigration (BI) mentioned no less than 65,000 passengers departed and arrived in NAIA on Wednesday forward of the New Year’s Eve celebration.
According to Saleema Refran’s report on “24 Oras”, 120,000 passengers have been recorded per day on the NAIA from December 1 to twenty-eight.
“We expect to increase… Especially after New Year, as more passengers go outside Manila going back to where they came from,” Manila International Airport Authority (MIAA) senior assistant basic supervisor Bryan Co mentioned.
The BI suggested passengers to finish the e-travel go earlier than touring to the Philippines for quicker immigration screening.
“Ito po ay pinagsama yung arrival cards ng BI at One Health Pass ng ating Bureau of Quarantine. Pupunta po tayo sa etravel.gov.ph na kung saan ifi-fill out na roon 72 hours prior sa arrival natin sa ating bansa,” BI deputy spokesperson Melvin Mabulac mentioned.
(This is a mixture of the arrival playing cards of BI and One Health Pass of the Bureau of Quarantine. We will go to etravel.gov.ph the place we should fill out the data no less than 72 hours earlier than our arrival in our nation.)
Philippine passport holders could enter a self-service e-gate for simpler exit into the airport.
“Ngayon, magkakasama kami kahit konting panahon lang. Pero at least enjoyin, cherish namin yung moment namin ngayon,” passenger Marson Alegado mentioned.
(We might be collectively no less than for a short time. For now, we get pleasure from and cherish our moments collectively.)
“Finally, nandito na sila so makakapagcelebrate kami ng New Year. Indeed a Happy New Year talaga,” Jennifer Alegado, spouse of Marson, mentioned.
(Finally, they’re right here so we are able to have fun the New Year. Indeed a Happy New Year.)
“Super happy, kasi first time namin makasama yung family ko. Dahil susurprise namin yung nanay namin hindi po niya alam na uuwi kami,” Jenny Rioflorido, one other passenger, mentioned.
(Super completely happy, as a result of it is our first time to be with my household. Because we’re going to shock our mom, she would not know that we’re coming house.) -Richa Noriega/NB, GMA Integrated News
