00:00Three to four times already if the MMDA will carry out clearing operations to reduce the traffic in Metro Manila.
00:09Among those who were seen earlier, the driver of the pick-up was almost caught by the enforcer because he tried to escape.
00:17Mark Salazar was caught red-handed. Mark?
00:22Mel, it looks like we're already at the climax of Christmas Car Maggedon.
00:30Because the major toro fairs or alternate routes are already full.
00:35It's getting more and more crowded. It's only Christmas this week.
00:43The number of cars passing through EDSA every day is already exceeding half a million.
00:48That's why you may notice that the traffic is limited to 20 to 30 km per hour.
00:54Now, the most important are the 17 living lanes so that there are alternatives in EDSA and other major toro fairs.
01:02It's very important, very crucial to make sure that there are no illegal parking, no sidewalk obstructions,
01:09so that at least the flow of traffic is continuous and also the volume of cars that can pass can be increased.
01:18It's already three to four times per day if the MMDA clears the living lane.
01:23Earlier, this was surprising to Sgt. Esguerra Street, Quezon City.
01:28The car is moving. It's breathing. The car is moving. It's okay.
01:35The illegal parking that was given because it's not rush hour is also being caught now.
01:41One thousand pesos for physical apprehension.
01:45At this time, it's not known if it's just for a moment.
01:49I was hoping to get something. It's just for a moment.
01:52But I didn't know that it's prohibited, sir.
01:55But at least, I know now.
01:57The driver of this pickup truck is the one who will pay the highest price for his violation
02:02because aside from illegal parking, he is also a part of an enforcer in the pursuit.
02:09Why didn't you put an arrow gun so that you can clear it?
02:12Sir, I already put it. I already put it.
02:14And reckless driving, sir.
02:17Reckless driving?
02:18Yes, sir. I already put it so that you can see and prove it.
02:22Yes, put it. Put it all.
02:24The bus stations will also be limited, especially in the expected exodus on Friday.
02:30This is our deployment, the extended deployment of our traffic enforcers all throughout until 12 midnight.
02:37MMDA has again called on motorists not to violate EDSA, C5 and Commonwealth.
02:44We are encouraging people, we are encouraging the drivers to use these Mabuhay lanes
02:50because they are very useful, very convenient because it interconnects all the cities within Metro Manila.
02:57This afternoon, at Chino Roses Avenue Extension in Makati,
03:01some saw a Jemmy News taxi, jeepney and private vehicle parked on the side of the road.
03:14Mel, let's take a quick look at the traffic situation here at EDSA show boulevard
03:19because this is one of the bottlenecks of EDSA.
03:22The malls are next to each other here.
03:24We can say that this is a good thing.
03:28We are more experienced and it is more dangerous here.
03:30But at least, it is moving from show boulevard and it is slowly approaching Ortigas.
03:37But after Ortigas flyover, it is already prohibited.
03:41But of course, there is still Wednesday and Thursday and the expected exodus on Friday
03:48that everyone should be prepared for. Mel.
03:51Thank you very much, Mark Salazar.
