00:00 The IMDA's hit-stroke brake policy for traffic enforcers is now being implemented.
00:07 Some have been distributed to drinking and health monitoring stations.
00:11 James Agustin has the first news.
00:13 Last night, a motorcycle taxi rider named Mang Celso traveled.
00:19 Aside from avoiding traffic, he also avoided hot weather.
00:23 If he needs to travel during the day and reach a hot weather, he just discards it.
00:29 We look for places with shade, like trees, and we always bring water.
00:36 The taxi driver Rafael is also driving for a long time in Lansangan.
00:41 If the weather is too hot, he temporarily stops the trip.
00:45 It's dark, so I go back to the garage to rest.
00:48 It's hot and there's a lot of traffic.
00:50 The IMDA placed drinking and health monitoring stations in seven locations in Edsa, Timog.
00:57 This is not only for their personnel, but also for motorcyclists and riders who will be traveling.
01:02 Motorcyclists are happy, especially when drinking water during hot weather.
01:07 It's good to have that.
01:10 When we get old, we need that.
01:16 It's a big favor for us because it's too hot.
01:21 When an emergency comes, you can get close to it.
01:26 This is also the first day of the heat stroke break policy of the IMDA for these people.
01:31 This is the time given to traffic enforcers who turn around when the weather is too hot.
01:36 This is the first news.
