MANILA — The Parañaque Integrated Terminal Exchange (PITX) has recorded passenger traffic exceeding one million as Filipinos initiate their traditional year-end journey to home provinces ahead of the Undas 2026 observance.
The terminal operator's data underscores the scale of internal migration during the Undas period, when Filipinos travel across the country to visit family graves and participate in commemorations honoring deceased loved ones during All Saints' Day and All Souls' Day.
The early surge in passenger volumes at PITX suggests many travelers are beginning their trips ahead of peak weekend travel, a pattern consistent with efforts to avoid road congestion and secure transportation during the holiday period.
As one of the country's major transportation hubs, PITX serves as a critical entry and exit point for intercity bus services, accommodating millions of passengers annually during peak travel seasons. The terminal's capacity has been instrumental in managing domestic travel demand during holidays and special occasions.
