00:00Starting April 9, the provincial buses in EDSA will be allowed to pass through Piling Oras as part of the preparation for the arrival of travelers this Holy Week.
00:09Road re-blocking is also expected in some parts of EDSA.
00:13Watch this, Oscar Oida.
00:19As of the night of April 9, the provincial buses in some parts of EDSA will be allowed to pass through.
00:26According to the MMDA, they will be allowed to pass through EDSA from 10 p.m. to 5 a.m.
00:33Now, it is expected that the arrival of travelers will start in the province for the Holy Week.
00:39But it is still prohibited to pass through EDSA.
00:41Meaning, the buses from the north to Cubao, which is their farthest destination,
00:48and the buses from the south to Pasay only.
00:53From April 16, Wednesday to April 20, Holy Week,
00:58they will be allowed to pass through EDSA for 24 hours.
01:01But it is still prohibited to pass through EDSA from NLEX to SLEX.
01:05As for the bus terminals in EDSA, the MMDA will implement the Nose-In-Nose-Out Policy
01:12for continuous travel.
01:14It is prohibited to drive on the road.
01:17As you know, if you drive even for 1 or 2 minutes,
01:21the effect on traffic will be prolonged.
01:26As for private vehicles,
01:28the number coding scheme for Webe Santo and Viernes Santo is suspended.
01:33The MMDA will also place tow trucks, ambulances, and others
01:37in case of an accident on the road.
01:40Six portable CCTV cameras will be deployed to assist in monitoring,
01:46as well as more than 2,000 MMDA personnel.
01:50The MMDA will implement the No-Day-Off-No-Absent Policy
01:54for their personnel from April 16 to 21.
01:59At that time, it is expected that there will be road re-blocking in some parts of EDSA.
02:04We will allow a lot of construction on our roads,
02:10particularly road re-blocking for 24 hours.
02:14It will start on April 16 until April 21 at 5 a.m.
02:20But by April 21, which is a Monday, at 5 a.m.,
02:25the roads will be clean and accessible.
02:29As for MRT-3 vehicles,
02:31the train will not travel from Webe Santo until Sunday for maintenance activities.
02:39Operating hours will be extended from Wednesday to Sunday.
02:43The last trip will be at 10.30 p.m. from North Avenue
02:46until 11.09 p.m. from Taft Station.
02:50The Department of Transportation suspended the prohibition of MRT-3 vehicles
02:54for vehicles that exceed 2 feet by 2 feet in size.
02:58The police implemented it because it occupies a large space in the wagon.
03:03But it was questioned and reviewed by Transportation Secretary Vince Dizon
03:08after the police investigated it online.
03:11There are commuters from the province.
03:14Of course, it's a big load.
03:16How can a person commute easily if they limit it?
03:21That's why they put MRT as number one.
03:23They want it to be easy.
03:24Right?
03:25Because the trip is only a few minutes.
03:27For GMA Integrated News, I am Oscar Oidang, your witness.
