00:00Rehabilitation of EDSA will start in March, according to MMDA Chairperson Romando Artes,
00:07as part of the discussions on their assistance to President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr.
00:13According to Artes, DPWH is now working on the timetable and traffic management plan,
00:19where they will do the southbound first.
00:22This is also the target after the hosting of the Philippine ASEAN Summit.
00:27As allies, they are discussing EDSA's training system to address the problem of flooding here.
00:36First, DPWH Secretary Manny Bonoan announced that President R. Marcos Jr.
00:42wants to improve the travel of motorists to EDSA
00:46and to address the long-standing problem of its traffic.
00:51The target is to start in March so that it can be completed in time for the ASEAN.
00:59We will do the southbound first.
01:02The only challenge that was discussed yesterday
01:08is that the drainage system in EDSA will be built at the same time
01:13to avoid flooding.
01:16We just raised the concern that since the drainage is in the outer lane,
01:24there are many utilities there.
