00:00 President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. instructs the Metropolitan Manila Development Authority and local governments not to penalize e-bicycles and e-tricycles plying national roads in Metro Manila.
00:13 He says more time is needed to educate the public about the ban, which will remain in place.
00:18 In a post on X, Marcos says, "If they will be apprehended, the purpose is to inform them about the roads they can ply, and remind them about new policies being enforced in order to maintain order and safety in the streets."
00:32 "We will give them a month to know what they should do."
00:37 The MMDA regulation released in February lists nearly two dozen roads where e-bikes, e-trikes, tricycles, pedicabs, pushcarts, and kuliglig are prohibited beginning April.
