00:40So far, the monitoring of traffic is moderate to heavy.
00:46We don't have a standstill or a car magidon.
00:52Vehicle volume on major roads is expected to increase by up to 5% from the usual 409,000 vehicles to a possible 429,000 vehicles.
01:03Well, we expect that second week.
01:06So more likely next week, we'll be able to deal with more big traffic on the traffic.
01:13We know that our neighbors are still in Metro Manila.
01:18We're here to be able to deal with it.
01:19The MMDA has also intensified the implementation of the No Contact Apprehension Policy or NCAP.

01:39Meanwhile, the DPWH and MMDA have met to ensure smooth traffic flow amid the haldi rush.
01:45DPWH Secretary Vince Dyson inspected the flood mitigation project along Araneta Avenue in Quezon City, one of the areas considered highly flood prone.
01:55Iba-iba, yung mga road repair, yung mga asphalt overlay, yung paggagawa ng ibang drainage, yung mga sa ibang areas, nakahinto muna.
02:04Pero nag-usap kami, once na, bago mag-notche buena, pwede na ulit magtrabaho ng todo.
02:10Construction of the project will continue until February 2026, although some works will be temporarily suspended to avoid inconveniencing motorists.
02:19The DPWH is also planning to build a pumping station along San Juan River to expedite the draining of the floodwaters on Araneta Avenue.
02:27Dredging operations will likewise continue to remove silt and deepen the river.
