00:00 The MMDA is now looking for a way to make EDSA more prosperous.
00:06 Among the things they have found,
00:08 Jeeps that made the garage a loading and unloading area,
00:11 and a barangay hall that was used as a bench.
00:14 Mark Salazar and Oscar Oida were able to find out.
00:17 Some Jeepney drivers were lost in the middle of their rest on Commonwealth Avenue, Quezon City.
00:26 They were caught by the MMDA.
00:30 The part of Commonwealth Avenue that was used as a garage for some Jeepney drivers.
00:36 Instead of being a loading and unloading area, it was just a garage.
00:39 There were no drivers and we could reach the bench where we could eat.
00:44 In another part of Commonwealth Avenue,
00:46 some Jeepney drivers were also caught because of illegal loading and unloading.
00:52 The MMDA's strike force first followed the living lanes from Quezon City to Manila.
00:58 In E. Rodriguez Sr. Avenue in Quezon City,
01:01 some cars were already sampled.
01:03 Some were even caught.
01:05 This Jeep was even covered.
01:08 The seats and tables were also taken from the benches.
01:14 This gasoline tanker was also not saved after it was unable to unload in the so-called gasoline station.
01:22 We were able to load.
01:23 Yes, you were able to load.
01:25 You should have left.
01:27 You should have loaded.
01:27 You should have stayed there.
01:29 In Manila, some delivery riders were caught
01:33 who were arranging their parcels on the bench.
01:36 We were already arranging them when we got off.
01:40 We were already sampling them.
01:41 But you know the mistake?
01:43 Yes, sir.
01:44 It's not bad to make a living.
01:45 Everyone needs to make a living.
01:47 But we have to put it in the right place and in a legal way.
01:50 The result, their delivery tricycles were caught.
01:56 In Manila, this barangay hall,
01:59 some items were already on the bench.
02:01 They were also caught.
02:02 Their explanation, their job is too small.
02:06 We have already talked to those who can sponsor us.
02:10 If there is a public land, they can build it.
02:12 But we don't have that.
02:14 We are just making a living.
02:17 The GMA Integrated News also circled the area of Nueva Ecija Street
02:23 next to the mall in North Edge, Quezon City.
02:26 We were spotted by pedestrians walking on the street
02:30 with cars passing by.
02:32 The benches are occupied by tables
02:35 for the al fresco dining experience.
02:38 Some benches are also occupied by street food carts.
02:42 There is also a roadside parking area for the customers' motorcycles.
02:47 This is a problem of two barangays
02:50 that both have a claim of jurisdiction in Nueva Ecija Street.
02:54 Ramon Magsaysay Barangay
02:56 has a limit on clearing operations in Nueva Ecija Street.
03:00 Last week, the last clearing was in place.
03:03 But vendors are returning.
03:05 The barangay of Santo Cristo is just passing by by flyers
03:09 reminding that road obstructions are illegal.
03:12 We really balance everything.
03:15 Our hands are tied.
03:19 Of course, how can they make a living?
03:25 On the other side, we have to follow certain laws and ordinances.
03:31 It's really hard.
03:34 It's really hard.
03:36 The problem of Nueva Ecija Street
03:38 is like the problem of many streets in Metro Manila.
03:42 It's a small space for many people and business.
03:46 For JMA Integrated News, Mark Salazar.
03:50 Oscar Oida on the tune 24 Hours.
