00:00An SUV with a government office and a pickup truck in the convoy of the congressman.
00:05These are the new vehicles that passed through Edsa Busway.
00:09We have a report from Niko Wahe.
00:14This vehicle was designed by the Special Action and Intelligence Committee for Transportation of SAIC.
00:20It passed through Edsa Busway in Ortega Station.
00:22The blinkers were turned on and it even honked.
00:25Sir, good afternoon.
00:26Yes, good afternoon. Our VIP is there.
00:29Who are you?
00:30I'm a congresswoman.
00:31You're just a congresswoman?
00:32Yes.
00:33They were immediately told that they are not allowed to pass through Edsa Busway even though they are talking about a congresswoman.
00:39Sir, we are not allowed to pass through Edsa Busway.
00:42Yes, they passed through it. I thought they would follow us.
00:45SAIC officers asked for the driver's license on the other side.
00:49At first, the vehicle seemed to slow down and move aside.
00:52But it slowed down and moved aside.
00:54A few minutes later, another SUV with a government plate passed through Edsa Busway.
01:00It also slowed down, moved aside and hit the operative's hand.
01:07SAIC is complaining to the LTO especially since they got the plate number of the two vehicles.
01:12The registered owner of the vehicle and the driver will bring a show-cause order from the LTO
01:20and the LTO will discuss the violations and penalties.
01:29It is also known if the congresswoman's escort was the first driver to escape.
01:33We still don't know the identity of the congresswoman and if she was escorted.
01:40But the enforcers said that even if she was escorted, she's not allowed to use the busway.
01:48She's not allowed to use the busway.
01:51The Department of Transportation reminds that those who can pass through Edsa Busway,
01:55aside from buses, are on-duty ambulances, fire trucks, police cars and service vehicles for the Edsa Busway project.
02:04And the only officials who can pass through are the President, Vice President, Senate President, House Speaker and Chief Justice.
