Metro Manila, Philippines – Around 1.5 million passengers may pass through the Parañaque Integrated Terminal Exchange (PITX) for a week due to the expected long weekend rush, the terminal operator said on Wednesday, Aug. 21.
In a statement, the PITX management said it is anticipating a surge in foot traffic on Aug. 19 to Aug. 27.
