00:00 Metro Manila Development Authority or MMDA clearly stated that e-trike and e-bike are prohibited on national roads.
00:08 All vehicles will be stopped from Monday.
00:11 They are constantly being threatened by those who use their alternative vehicles.
00:16 Maki Polito is on the scene.
00:18 Instead of a car, Ernesto's e-trike is now in the market.
00:25 Because of that, he is going to more places, so he is selling more.
00:30 Before, he was giving up because of fatigue.
00:33 Because of e-trike, he has a little rest.
00:36 My e-trike, my one month is only 320 pesos.
00:40 If you ride a motorcycle, it's hard.
00:43 150 pesos a day, it's just cheap on electricity.
00:48 That's why Ernesto is afraid.
00:50 Now, there is no limit on where e-trike and e-bike can be used.
00:53 Your income is getting smaller.
00:56 It's only 100 percent, 50 percent.
01:02 It can't reach the quota.
01:06 Mario and Gloria Bantasan's wife is worried about the additional expenses.
01:10 Because of the high price of e-trike, they have a big problem.
01:14 Like my grandson, he studied in Roses.
01:17 You can borrow 80 pesos for one day.
01:20 One way.
01:21 Tricycle.
01:22 Yes, tricycle.
01:23 It's only one day.
01:24 It's a big expense.
01:25 Instead of using it for food or other things, it's for massaging.
01:31 Because of the hard search of e-trike,
01:34 what if the next time, he needs to go to the hospital?
01:38 I was in an emergency, ma'am.
01:39 Early in the morning, there was no e-trike.
01:41 I used this.
01:43 I brought it to the hospital.
01:45 If there's no e-trike, what will happen to me?
01:47 But the MMDA will not give any compensation.
01:50 They will be arrested starting April 15
01:53 for e-trike, e-bike, and e-scooter,
01:55 and even push carts, tricycles, pedicabs, and scooters
01:59 that pass through the national roads.
02:01 The crossing of the national roads is allowed
02:03 as long as the intention is to reach the other side of the road.
02:06 The penalty is 2,500 pesos.
02:09 But if you don't have a license or a registration
02:13 to destroy e-bikes or e-trikes,
02:17 you will be subject to impounding.
