00:00On Shami, the day before yesterday, some of the construction workers arrived at the market.
00:05There were also customers who illegally parked their vehicles.
00:10Oscar Oida was on the scene.
00:16Customers of the market at Chino Ross Extension in Makati
00:21saw the arrival of the MMDA.
00:26But many were still caught and arrested.
00:29They were charged with illegal parking.
00:34The workers who illegally parked their vehicles and fished
00:37also arrived at the market.
00:40Even the vendors in the area were kicked out.
00:43We were kicked out because we were not expected to do anything.
00:47Especially my 5-year-old son who is studying.
00:50All of us, we need to earn.
00:52We need to earn, we need to make a living.
00:54So we are not stopping anyone.
00:55We just have to put it in the right place,
00:58in the right way, and we will not be obstructed.
01:03In this area, the traffic is usually heavy
01:07due to the number of illegal parking.
01:10This is being followed by local traffic enforcers.
01:13But this is really not enough.
01:16It's a big thing for them to be able to come and go.
01:20Because it's not enough to do it at the same time.
01:23They will leave and come back.
01:25So what we have to implement here is collaboration.
01:28As our President said, a whole government approach.
01:32So this is what we are doing,
01:33in coordination with the local traffic enforcement,
01:35the local government unit,
01:37even the barangay, up to the barangay level.
01:40Meanwhile, a few jeepney drivers were also arrested
01:44at Rojas Boulevard, Parting, Pasay
01:46for arresting them for illegal parking.
01:51We can't do anything because it's prohibited here.
01:54The food there is already full.
01:56So they bought food.
01:57We can only eat for a while.
01:59At Quirino Avenue in Paranaque,
02:01cars were parked outside
02:04where people are supposed to walk to park.
02:08Even signage of establishments
02:10were placed on the sidewalks.
02:12They were also confiscated.
02:14A few airport road workers in Paranaque
02:18were also taken away.
02:19They made a mess of their equipment on the sidewalks.
02:22We have to be consistent.
02:24I mean, that's a hard pill to swallow.
02:26We have to do it over and over again.
02:28But if we get tired,
02:29nothing will change.
02:31For GMA Integrated News,
02:34Oscar Oida was arrested for 24 hours.
