00:00 Because there are still many J-Walkers or those who do not cross the right path, DILG is asking them to be spared of heavier punishment so that they can run.

00:10 Live from Quezon City, we have the first news, James Agustin. James.

00:16 Good morning. There are two big characters in this part of EDSA's Central Northbound that are added that it is prohibited to cross the road, no to J-Walking.

00:28 But on the other hand, there are still many of us, the citizens, who are choosing to cross EDSA to ride the EDSA carousel.

00:35 That's why DILG is asking LGUs and MMDAs to increase the fine or even add more fines to those who will be arrested for J-Walking.

00:50 At the same time, passengers crossing EDSA are just below the EDSA carousel in this part of EDSA's Central Northbound.

00:58 It is very dangerous, especially if their companion is fast in the car. Sometimes, some of them run.

01:05 Almost all of them are crossing the blocked concrete barriers in EDSA busway.

01:10 These three passengers immediately got stuck in the concrete barriers.

01:14 When they get time, they already crossed the EDSA.

01:17 They are accompanied by other passengers.

01:20 It is very difficult to get up there.

01:22 Then, you will get down there.

01:25 If you will get up there and get down, if you are here, just check that there is no vehicle.

01:32 It is really like that.

01:33 It is dangerous, right?

01:34 Yes.

01:35 It is just that, just be strong inside. If there is no vehicle, just cross.

01:39 There are two big characters in this part of EDSA that are added that it is prohibited to cross the road, no to J-Walking.

01:45 For the passengers to ride in the EDSA carousel, there is a way to the MRT Quezon Avenue Station.

01:52 Some of them are following.

01:54 It is difficult for them to walk far. Even though it is dangerous, they are doing it.

01:58 It is very far. It is a long way to go to the carousel.

02:04 But it is dangerous, right?

02:06 Yes, it is a bit dangerous. But they are timing it.

02:10 Joe Marino, a call center agent, admitted that sometimes he also crosses the road.

02:16 Sometimes, it is faster here. Of course, it is also a way home.

02:19 And it is tiring to climb up there to ride.

02:22 For now, the fine is P500 for community service for those who will be arrested because of J-Walking,

02:27 according to the ordinance of the Metro Manila Council of 2019.

02:31 Interior and Local Government Secretary Benjur Abalos recommended to the MMDA and LGUs

02:37 to increase the fine, especially for the EDSA and C5 roads.

02:40 The MMDA said that it is a good thing. It is also a favor for some of our countrymen.

02:45 That is right. It is our fault.

02:48 We admit that it is our fault.

02:51 But maybe next time, we will just have to pay the fine.

02:55 It is better to increase the fine so that people can ride.

02:58 Because, if you earn a bit more, you can give the P500.

03:04 That is the truth.

03:05 [Crowd noise]

03:10 For now, this morning, because the MMDA is here, we cannot see anyone crossing the EDSA road.

03:17 The MMDA said that it will help the DOTR to have a solution and to avoid these situations.

03:24 That is the first news. From Quezon City, I am James Agustin for GEMA Integrated News.
