00:00The MMDA forced some benches in Manila to be closed due to pedestrian accidents.
00:08Oscar Oida was there.
00:13Almost every day, it's hard to cross Kiricada Street in Santa Cruz, Manila.
00:20Aside from being a crowded place, there are cars blocking the road on both sides.
00:26The benches were already occupied by some stores.
00:30That's why people are now walking on the road.
00:34That's why earlier, the MMDA Special Operations Group blocked it.
00:38And the cars that were attended to were also blocked.
00:41The drivers who are in danger of being stopped were also blocked.
00:46Even the stores that are blocking the benches were also blocked.
00:50Well, aside from the penalty, if you let it go or you didn't notice it,
00:55there are chances that you can get off the road.
00:58We always say that the sidewalk is behind the commerce of men.
01:03It's about time we give back the sidewalk to the pedestrians so that there will be a safe passage.
01:07The MMDA also forced some tricycles and bicycles to be left on the benches.
01:14More illegal cars were seen and caught on Almeda Street in Tondo and Altura Street in Sampaloc.
01:24The tents that serve as the garage of some cars were also illegally placed and confiscated.
01:30The tricycles and bicycles of the stores were also illegally placed.
01:34That's why after the operation, the roads are now free to pass.
01:40Because there are a lot of fires now, there's a fire.
01:44So at least we can't pass through the fire if it's necessary.
01:49Because here, it's always double parking.
