00:00 Last long weekend before the school starts.
00:03 It became a longer weekend for some because there is no school and government entrance in Metro Manila and Bulacan today.
00:11 That's the reason for the opening of the 2023 FIBA World Cup in Bukaway, Bulacan later this afternoon.
00:17 So let's first see how the traffic will be in Enlex in the on-the-spot coverage of Ian Cruz.
00:22 Ian?
00:28 Yes, Connie and Rafi, for now, the traffic is wide from EDS to Balintawak to here,
00:36 to North Luzon Expressway, the Ciudad de Victoria exit will enter here in Philippine Arena.
00:41 Since this morning, the volume of vehicles passing through the expressway is thin.
00:46 When there are both exits in front of us, there is a volume of vehicles but the traffic is still fast.
00:51 It will continue until it reaches the Ciudad de Victoria in Bukaway where the Philippine Arena is located.
00:57 Let us remind motorists who will bring their vehicles, your vehicle must have an RFID to avoid a traffic jam
01:04 because there is no cash lane in this toll plaza.
01:06 In the FIBA World Cup opening, Enlex will also be in charge of the traffic, not only in the expressway but also in the parking lots
01:14 so that the traffic will be faster unlike in the previous events.
01:20 Here, the traffic will reach the expressway in a few hours.
01:24 Enlex Corporation's order to the viewers is to ride P2P buses from 12 locations in NCR, Bulacan and Pampanga.
01:33 It is expected that by 5.30 p.m., the lockdown will be implemented, the arena will be allowed in
01:37 and the vehicles of VIP, Delgado and P2P buses will be allowed in.
01:41 For now, the tight security continues.
01:47 We just talked to Metro Pacific Cattleways President and CEO Rogelio Babe-Singson
01:52 and they are hoping that the traffic will continue to flow smoothly in Enlex.
01:56 They said that their vehicles are already in place as early as 7 a.m.
01:59 so that the traffic flow will be smooth.
02:02 There are also many people who came here to the arena because the parking A is almost full.
02:09 And Rafi, Connie, Enlex is breathing easily because they have already finished assembling the gear der
02:16 in the container van that hit the Marilao Bridge.
02:22 That's why there are no more Averianos even in the Marilao and Maycawayan area.
02:29 The President of Enlex also reminded that the toll for the city of Victoria will be free from 12 noon to 3 pm.
02:39 They are hoping that more people will come here early to avoid the crowd that will enter
02:48 when the FIBA opening will start in the afternoon.
02:52 Back to you, Rafi and Connie.
02:54 Thank you very much, Ian Cruz.
02:57 Some people will travel early on long weekends in the province to avoid the heavy traffic in Enlex.
03:05 This is James Agustin.
03:08 Oliver is on his way home from his work in Cavite.
03:13 He traveled earlier because he has experienced a few hours of traffic in the North Luzon Expressway or Enlex.
03:21 He is really hoping that the heavy traffic will be there until the evening in Enlex for the opening of the FIBA World Cup in the Philippine Arena.
03:29 I know that FIBA World Cup is coming. There will be traffic.
03:34 Danilo was advanced yesterday by their delivery in Valenzuela, which was scheduled for today.
03:40 It's hard to get a ticket if there's heavy traffic in the expressway.
03:44 The traffic and the time is prohibited. The trucks are prohibited.
03:52 What time?
03:53 10 am to 12 midnight. There's a lot of traffic. Maybe a lot of people will watch.
03:59 Jericho's children traveled early. They will also make the most of the long holiday weekend, especially going back to school next week.
04:07 We expect the heavy traffic to go on vacation in Zambales. So we left home early to avoid the traffic.
04:15 The MMDA will strictly monitor the roads before Enlex, like EDSA Balintawak Northbound, where the vehicles usually go.
04:24 They will implement a stop and go traffic scheme on some roads if the convoy of delegates needs to pass.
04:31 That's why the motorists we talked to said that they will avoid the area so that they won't be caught in the traffic.
04:36 We will avoid it so that we can earn because it's hard to be caught in the traffic. The gasoline is expensive.
04:43 Where will you travel?
04:44 To Makati or Caraniake.
04:48 If there's a lot of traffic later, I will travel to other areas.
04:52 We won't earn anything if we're caught in the traffic.
04:57 James Agustin is reporting for GME Integrated News.
05:02 In Valenzuela City, the LGU's track ban was implemented on some roads.
05:07 This is to reduce the expected traffic on Enlex due to the opening ceremonies of the FIBA World Cup later this afternoon.
05:14 Until later tonight, trucks weighing 4,500 kilos and more are not allowed to pass on the designated roads in the city.
