00:00In front of the MMDA's headquarters, where the congestion fee for vehicles passing through EDSA was asked for,
00:06other institutions also presented their laws to reduce the traffic load on the main roads.
00:13This is Noel Talacay's report.
00:17Due to the continuous restriction of traffic in EDSA,
00:21Metropolitan Manila Development Authority is now requesting
00:25to reduce the congestion fee for motorists passing through EDSA during rush hour.
00:31Senator Joel Villanueva is not in favor of this.
00:35In a statement, he said that instead of asking motorists to maximize the implementation of the Work From Home Law,
00:43it will not only ease the traffic load in EDSA,
00:48but it will also provide a work-life balance to a worker.
00:53According to this, Victoria, a call center agent,
00:57is in favor of the Work From Home Setup to reduce the traffic congestion in EDSA.
01:04She also said that her company is in favor of the Work From Home Setup.
01:09Because in the Work From Home, you don't have to pay for the massage.
01:14Villanueva also said that a fair and long-term solution should be made.
01:19It won't add to the load on motorists and commuters.
01:24Even for student Pauline, she also wants the Work From Home.
01:28She thinks it will help solve the long-term problem in EDSA.
01:34Maybe Work From Home because there are a lot of people going out and commuting every day.
01:40For Senator Grace,
01:43the solution should be to reduce the traffic congestion in major thoroughfares
01:48before asking motorists who use EDSA.
01:52Make mass transportation in the country more comfortable
01:56so that motorists who do not use their vehicles can be encouraged
02:02and have a consultation about this with the public.
