00:00 The Metropolitan Manila Development Authority or MMDA also responded to some parts of Metro Manila due to the violation of traffic rules and regulations.
00:09 The last few days, all the sidewalks are being parked, said Ryan Leziguez.
00:14 He was supposed to go home from the market this afternoon on his bike in Barangay La Paz, Makati City, Sinanay Fe.
00:22 But just before 11 p.m., he was already packed up when the clearing team of MMDA passed by. He was forced to leave his umbrella in the hot sun.
00:32 He went home early. He was still thankful because he didn't get his cart.
00:38 No, it's okay. I can't do anything. You got it even though I'm talking to you.
00:44 The clearing team also forced him to leave his umbrella.
00:50 Of course, I was upset. Who wouldn't be upset? I'm eating in the kitchen.
00:55 I thought my husband was here because we're only allowed to use the parking lot.
01:02 We live here.
01:05 There are also five cars in this junk shop.
01:07 The people of this car shop in Edsa Heritage in Pasay City were also shocked.
01:14 It's like a parking lot with a lot of parked motorcycles in front of the store.
01:18 The owner of the car shop in Edsa Heritage in Pasay City, Tarantatuloy, was the one who gave a violation ticket to the people of the junk shop.
01:23 One of the people who were ticketed was Rogemar.
01:26 The violation is illegal parking and unattended vehicle with a fine of P2,000.
01:32 We have a meeting so there are a lot of people. It's a coincidence that we're only on one line.
01:37 As much as possible, our parking lot is well-organized so that the people passing by won't be disturbed.
01:42 We were also shocked that they suddenly came here.
01:45 You won't park here anymore?
01:48 It's possible. You're kidding. Instead, you will pay for the penalty.
01:54 Even though he's a security guard, his motorcycle was not monitored and he was also issued a violation ticket.
02:01 The owner of the junk shop in Edsa Heritage in Pasay City, Tarantatuloy, was the one who gave a violation ticket to the people of the junk shop.
02:10 They were shocked. The local government of Pasay City gave them a lane to park.
02:17 The jeepney driver was also given a parking spot beside Hilpuyat Avenue.
02:23 He was not able to park. He admitted that he made a mistake.
02:27 How much will you lose if you pay for the parking?
02:31 We will get two days of travel.
02:35 It's a waste.
02:38 According to the MMDA, they have already passed the yellow lane.
02:42 The sidewalks are being made into parking lots so that the people on the road can pass.
02:48 Last night, the R10 in Manila also followed.
02:51 According to the MMDA, the operation was done at night because the motorists did not expect that they would be caught.
02:58 We cannot give them a violation ticket and sacrifice not only the traffic rules and regulations,
03:05 but also sacrifice the mobility of those who use this road.
03:10 According to the MMDA, there should be no obstruction to the main roads,
03:15 living lanes and alternative routes even at night.
03:19 The vehicles on the road are in a state of emergency.
03:23 The vehicles we buy are not cheap. They are expensive.
03:26 I think we have to protect our properties. We have to protect our vehicles.
03:30 If the vehicles are parked on the side of the road, there are chances that they will be robbed or any other untoward incident.
03:39 The MMDA will also look into the clearing operation with various agencies to discipline the motorists.
