00:00 Some vehicles were damaged on the North Luzon Expressway, so they had to be repaired.
00:05 Cash lanes were added along with the increase of the number of those without RFID.
00:10 And the latest there, is all about Sandra Aguinaldo.
00:14 Sandra?
00:16 Yes, Pia, you're right.
00:20 Here behind me, you can see that the number of vehicles on the NLEX has increased.
00:25 And all the lanes are now lined up with vehicles.
00:29 And according to the LNLEX, it will reach the end of the Valiches flyover.
00:34 We met with Christy Cruz and her family on the North Luzon Expressway.
00:43 They're going to a resort in Bulacan.
00:45 They're also going to attend church or visit churches.
00:50 So, will there be a reunion?
00:53 Yes.
00:55 A reunion?
00:57 Yes, my son and I will go there before they go to Pabanga.
01:03 We'll meet there.
01:07 They're also among those who visited the NLEX,
01:10 and if Wednesday and Thursday, the number of vehicles will drop to 300,000 to 330,000 in one day.
01:18 Our volume will gradually increase until this afternoon and later tonight.
01:24 Tomorrow, we'll still have a lot of vehicles starting early in the morning until the afternoon.
01:30 Earlier this afternoon, the number of vehicles on the cash lane or the lane without RFID in Balintawak Tall Plaza has decreased by a part.
01:40 So, from three, five cash lanes were made here.
01:44 On the right side of the Tall Plaza, RFID can be installed to speed up the passage of tall booths.
01:51 As of now, 80% of the passages have RFID.
01:55 After passing the Tall Plaza, the number of vehicles are increasing,
01:59 although it is noticeable that the volume of the vehicles is increasing.
02:03 There are also some vehicles that were damaged and need to be towed.
02:07 Although the NLEX has free towing service,
02:10 at the nearest exit, there is a toll for the expressway.
02:15 Before traveling, they should check that their vehicles are in good condition.
02:21 The driver should also check that.
02:24 I hope there is enough rest.
02:26 In a gas station, you can also see a lot of passengers who temporarily stopped to fill their gas,
02:32 eat and buy necessities for a long drive.
02:35 The NLEX's southbound lane is wide and it is passed by Metro Manila from the north.
02:41 But on the left side or northbound, you can see the build-up of vehicles in the part of Valenzuela City.
02:48 In this part, the installation of cones was also filmed
02:52 so that one lane of the southbound can be used and the northbound vehicles can counterflow.
02:58 Before it is too stressful, all lanes in Balintawak Tall Plaza are closed when we pass by, RFID or cash lane.
03:10 Pia, we have an update on the southbound.
03:13 From Bukawetal Plaza to Valenzuela, there is a slow moving traffic according to the NLEX.
03:21 The counterflow that I mentioned earlier in my report has been stopped.
03:25 The number of vehicles that need to be towed has reached 37 because they were damaged.
03:31 It's good that there were no accidents.
03:35 Pia?
03:36 Thank you very much, Sandra Aguinaldo.
