00:00Let's take a look at the situation this morning on the North Luzon Expressway
00:05while we await the arrival of our fellow countrymen
00:09from their respective provinces.
00:11In Isaiah Mirafuentes of PTV, in Balitang Pambansa Live, Isaiah.
00:17Good morning, Friday morning, Ace.
00:19Until this time, the North Luzon Expressway is still wide-open.
00:24The northbound lane and the southbound lane.
00:27It's a hot day today, 2025, where we are also waiting for the arrival of motorists
00:33returning from Metro Manila.
00:38This morning here on the North Luzon Expressway,
00:41there is still no traffic jam on both the northbound and southbound lanes.
00:45There are still not many vehicles on the tollgates of the North Luzon Expressway or NLEX.
00:50It's possible that for those who are on vacation,
00:52you will have to pay for the remaining day before the weekend.
00:56But according to the NLEX, it's possible that until Monday,
01:00the number of motorists on the North Luzon Expressway will increase.
01:03According to the current situation,
01:051,500 patrol officers, marshals, security, incident response teams,
01:11and the NLEX-SCTX-NLEX Connector are deployed.
01:14The NLEX also promised that there will be no road closures until Monday.
01:19The NLEX also reminds motorists to always check the so-called blow baguettes.
01:24This is the B for Battery, L for Lights, O for Oil, W for Water, B for Brake,
01:31A for Air, G for Gas, E for Engine, T for Tire, and S for Self.
01:38According to the NLEX, 10% increase in traffic volume
01:43from the holiday season until January 6.
01:46I am now at Balintawak Toll Plaza.
01:49As you can see, until this time,
01:52there are almost no vehicles here at the toll gates in Balintawak.
01:56Another thing, the NLEX also reminds motorists to make sure that their RFIDs are loaded.
02:01But today, starting from the holiday season,
02:04the NLEX really has three lanes for the cash lane
02:07in case there is a road here where their RFIDs are not loaded.
02:11That's the first update from NLEX.
02:13Back to you, Alan.
02:15Thank you very much, Isaiah Mirafuentes of PTV.
