00:00There are also those who were caught illegally crossing the EDSA busway.
00:03One of them is a motorcycle rider who even counter-flowed to escape the authorities.
00:09Here is my report.
00:13In an attempt to avoid the traffic violator in EDSA,
00:16this motorist counter-flowed
00:18even above the northern boundary of St. Olan flyover.
00:21But he did not get away after being chased by the operatives of the Special Action and Intelligence Committee for Transportation or SAIC.
00:32He said that he did the wrong thing.
00:34That's why he was asked why he counter-flowed.
00:36It's not in the law, sir.
00:38That's why it's not allowed in the law.
00:40You know, sir, we Filipinos,
00:42if we can escape a problem sometimes,
00:44it's like that.
00:46The rider added that he was afraid to see the SAIC operatives.
00:50He was caught last December
00:52and paid P5,000.
00:54But because of what he did,
00:56aside from the P5,000 penalty,
00:58he will also be fined because of reckless driving
01:00and counter-flow to EDSA.
01:05Most of the motorcycle riders who were caught by SAIC
01:08are usually accused of
01:10only partially entering the EDSA busway.
01:14This ambulance was not rescued.
01:16Although there was a patient,
01:18it was not an emergency case.
01:20That's why it was stopped and the SAIC was still stopped.
01:22A reminder of SAIC,
01:24not all ambulances with a patient
01:26can pass through the busway.
01:28Only those with a serious emergency
01:30were allowed to enter.
01:32Within more than two hours of the operation,
01:3430 violators were already caught
01:36by the SAIC operatives.
