00:04The government's target is under rehabilitation this year for the entire EDSA.
00:09According to DPWH Secretary Manuel Bonoan,
00:11this is also in accordance with President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr.'s wishes
00:15that the journey on the road should be smooth and not bumpy.
00:19Meanwhile, in the first semester, Bataan-Cavite Interlink Bridge will start
00:23passing through Manila Bay and will cross the two provinces.
00:26It is expected to shorten the journey from Bataan to Cavite by 40 minutes.
00:32What the President wants is that we have to improve the riding quality of EDSA.
00:39We will rehabilitate the entire EDSA starting 2025.
00:45For now, if you pass through EDSA, sometimes it's hard to text the driver.
