00:00 A professional basketball player was the last to pass through Edsa busway even though it was prohibited.
00:07 In another major incident in Metro Manila, the chase for e-bikes and e-trikes started.
00:13 Watch this, Oscar Oida.
00:15 It was only two years ago that this incident happened, when the e-trike was last to pass through the corner of Edsa and Tuff Avenue this afternoon.
00:28 Is this your boundary?
00:30 Yes, it's my mother's.
00:32 And you're riding a...
00:34 Yes, sir.
00:36 Yes.
00:37 You're not allowed to ride here in Edsa, you're not allowed to ride in Tuff.
00:40 So you shouldn't pass through here because you'll get caught.
00:45 The man was also not licensed, so the MMDA officers impounded his e-trike.
00:51 If I get impounded, I'll go home to the province.
00:55 I don't know what to do, they'll impound it.
00:59 If the enforcers only made a small profit in the last two days in the e-trike and e-bike in the major roads in Metro Manila,
01:08 earlier, the arrested were already being ticketed.
01:12 And the unlicensed were even impounded.
01:16 The arrested usually explain that they don't know.
01:20 I didn't know that I was being impounded.
01:22 I didn't know that I was being impounded.
01:25 I was told in the news that I can cross.
01:28 You can cross in Barangay Road.
01:30 This is Tuff, not Barangay Road.
01:33 So they're not allowed to cross in Tuff.
01:35 They're not allowed to ride in Edsa.
01:38 This one, he's a patrol e-bike of the barangay.
01:43 I know that, sir.
01:45 But I didn't know that he's not allowed to be a patrol.
01:47 Because we have a person who will be cremated, we asked for help in the city hall, that's why we're in a hurry.
01:53 Regardless if they're using barangay, as long as they cross, like here in Edsa, we need to ticket them.
02:01 The e-trike was not allowed to cross, they said that they'll only be taken to the hospital for a check-up.
02:07 In the end, they were just put in the mobile of the MMDA to be taken to the hospital.
02:14 Throughout yesterday, more than 100 e-trike and e-bike were caught.
02:19 More than 20 were caught, the total amount of the fine was P2,500.
02:25 Meanwhile, in the video posted online by the DOTR Special Action Intelligence Committee for Transportation,
02:32 a white SUV was caught on cam after passing through Edsa Busway this Monday.
02:39 The driver, who is a known enforcer and a professional basketball player,
02:44 according to the operatives, tried to get the money first, but the officers refused to help him.
02:52 Instead, they issued a ticket along with a disregarding traffic sign and a failure to carry ORCR.
02:59 There are some rules that should be followed by the police, the rules that should be followed by the police.
03:11 But for us in the busway, we were not authorized to enter, a penalty of P5,000.
03:18 We are still trying to get the ticket of the alleged basketball player.
