00:00Added to the traffic congestion is the number of cars that are being towed to a school in Makati.
00:09Some businesses in Bangkita and Taguig are also affected.
00:13Nick Cahuaje was there.
00:19A clearing operation was just carried out here in Chino Rosas Avenue Extension yesterday by the Makati Public Safety Department
00:25against the illegals standing on the side of the road.
00:28But when we came back today, it's like this again.
00:32In front of a school, there's a long line of cars following the students.
00:37As a result, there's a heavy traffic congestion.
00:49Makati LGU said earlier that they are studying if there are establishments that can be used as loading and unloading zones for students.
00:57A jeepney driver was also sampled who was standing on the side of the road for a long time.
01:01But there were no passengers.
01:03I just took a rest. I didn't go out until 12 o'clock in the afternoon.
01:06Now, I just arrived.
01:09The daily operation of LGU needs the help of the MMDA
01:13so that it can completely get rid of the people on the road in Chino Rosas Avenue Extension
01:18and ease the traffic congestion.
01:20Because of the size of our jurisdictions, we are also having a hard time.
01:25That's why we need a collaborative effort.
01:27Like what Makati Public Safety Department is doing,
01:30MMDA plans to reverse the length of Chino Rosas Avenue Extension.
01:34We will go back and forth, we will intensify our efforts,
01:38especially here in our Special Operations Group.
01:41In the area of Taguig,
01:42there's still a lot of traffic on the sidewalks of some vulcanizing shops and car wash.
01:47These tricycles were completely blocked by the sidewalks.
01:51We are already getting permission from Taguig LGU for their action here.
01:55But they already said that the Traffic Management Office has already been deputized
01:59to stop traffic violators.
02:03Earlier this morning, MMDA followed San Luis Street and Santa Escolastica Street in Pasay City.
02:08There were illegal vehicles that were parked by the MMDA.
02:12There were also plants on the sidewalks that were fished by the MMDA.
02:15For GMA Integrated News, I'm Nico Juaez.
02:18Okay, it's been closed for 24 hours.
