Went Back Home

Buses are still full with passengers. I went to the bus terminal yesterday so that I can attend activity at church last night but failed. I was shocked that on January 4th, there are still lots of passengers going back to the metro area after the holiday. I thought they were all settled on the 3th. All buses entering the terminal station were full and all have passengers standing on the center aisle. I did not wait because I can't make it at 7:30 PM. I should have went early around 4 PM. So I went back home. At 8:28 AM, today, it is now drizzling. Photo of the outside from the screen door.

@RubyHawk, the best is to leave home earlier to avoid getting late.

Oh I didn't know there are still stranded people going back to the city. Traffic here in Manila seems very light at the moment.

@cacay1 I know the airlines have just recovered their lag in the stranded people trying to return to Manila and vice versa. I know there are also some problems in the Batangas Port being overcrowded and boats are not able to accommodate everyone wanting to go back to their places. I just didn't realize that buses have the same dilemma as well.

@jobelbojel Everyone should be home by now. Southwestern Airlines has been ordered by the government to make compensations to the travelers.

You should have hired a taxi I'm going to church. Even here there are so many passengers.

No, I can't. Taxi going to Manila is too expensive and I am sure they won't take me to Manila from Pampanga.

For the whole week, all classes here were suspended by the City Mayor due to continuous heavy downpour.
