00:00A passenger on the EDSA busway fell down while trying to escape from the authorities.
00:06Due to a lot of injuries, the passenger on the EDSA busway was fined more than 7 million pesos.
00:13It was only in January that Joseph Morong was arrested.
00:19When the operatives of the DOTR Special Action and Intelligence Committee, or SAIC, caught him,
00:24this motorcycle, because it passed through the EDSA busway,
00:27they thought that they would follow him, but he suddenly fell down.
00:33Until he fell down.
00:37And even though the SAIC officers caught him at this point,
00:44the driver was able to escape again.
00:48The driver is completely blind.
00:51I just fell down.
00:52Where were you injured?
00:53I was in the hospital.
00:54In which hospital?
00:55In Bulacan.
00:56In Bulacan?
00:57Yes.
00:58In Bulacan.
00:59Did you go home?
01:00Yes.
01:01I just got up.
01:04When will you be released?
01:05Anytime, sir.
01:07But the problem of the driver was not only when he entered the EDSA busway.
01:11He was also wearing an Air Force uniform, which, according to him, he borrowed from his friend.
01:15He did not have a license and he did not have a registration to ride a motorcycle.
01:20That is why he was fined more than 15,000 pesos for impounding his motorcycle.
01:26A land transportation officer, LTO, and a police officer also arrested him on the busway.
01:31Even the ambulances were locked, just like this one, where there is no trip ticket to be shown.
01:36No, sir.
01:37We picked up a patient, but he did not have a trip ticket.
01:40The ambulance with him has a trip ticket to be shown, so he can pass through.
01:45He can, sir.
01:46As long as he has a driver.
01:48Proof?
01:49Yes.
01:50Proof that he has a passenger and where he was picked up.
01:54Trip ticket?
01:55Yes, trip ticket.
01:56There is also a time, sir, and a date.
01:59In the one and a half hours that we saw the operation, 27 people were arrested.
02:04This January, the government spent more than 7 million pesos on the impoundments.
02:10That is about 189 million pesos in 2024.
02:15We know that some people who were arrested earlier were banned.
02:18I am ashamed.
02:20What?
02:21I am ashamed.
02:22Is 5,000 pesos okay?
02:23No, sir.
02:24I have never paid that much.
02:26They are just sick, sir.
02:27According to the DOTR-SA, if the passengers are not afraid to pass through the EDSA busway,
02:33the public may be afraid of your licenses.
02:37Every violation, 5 points are deducted, and you only have 40 points in your license.
02:44If I ask, will you finish that?
02:45We will revoke our license and we will have a process of being a student, then non-pro, and then professional.
