The installation of tactile pavers (directional type) along Osmena Blvd is not just for aesthetic purposes; most importantly, it enhances accessibility, providing guidance to visually impaired individuals and ensuring a safer environment by helping them navigate paths and crossings with greater ease and confidence.
However, what will happen to accessibility when these pavers are now being used as parking areas by private individuals?
What actions will the Cebu City Transportation Office take regarding this issue?
Let’s discuss this in today’s ‘Beyond the Headlines.’

00:00 [MUSIC PLAYING]
00:02 Good afternoon.
00:19 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
00:21 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
00:47 I think part [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
01:00 tactile pavers.
01:02 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
01:04 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
01:34 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
01:37 supposedly to enhance accessibility,
01:41 providing guidance to the visually impaired individuals,
01:45 and ensuring a safer environment by helping them navigate paths
01:50 and crossings with greater ease and confidence.
01:52 So the entire--
01:54 I think [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
02:03 as we travel [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
02:10 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
02:27 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
02:48 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
03:09 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
03:30 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
03:32 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
03:43 Beyond the Headlines.
03:44 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
04:04 Harrison Park.
04:05 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
04:27 Harrison Park.
04:28 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
04:38 Hello, Attorney Hongoy.
04:39 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
04:41 Yes, ma'am.
04:42 Hi, sir.
04:43 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
04:46 OK, sir.
04:47 Sir, sorry.
04:48 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
04:50 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
05:09 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
05:26 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
05:38 Sidewalk.
05:39 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
05:42 Yes.
05:43 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
05:45 Yes, sir.
05:46 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
05:47 Yes.
05:47 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
06:06 That is the demarcation for the parking
06:10 and the demarcation for the sidewalk.
06:13 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
06:30 Yes.
06:31 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
06:38 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
06:45 It's one way of informing them.
06:47 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
06:50 Just two weeks ago, they were there to the TMC board.
06:54 And then I was like, what is it?
06:57 Inform the public.
06:59 You are the office.
07:01 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
07:07 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
07:14 That yellow line there is a tactile.
07:17 It will help the blind, [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
07:24 to navigate the sidewalks.
07:27 And it is not a demarcation for parking.
07:30 Definitely, sidewalk is not for parking motorcycles
07:34 and [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
07:36 Vehicles.
07:36 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
07:43 We will send you a report.
07:46 Yes.
07:46 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
08:06 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
08:14 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
08:15 The width of the road as well as the width of the sidewalk.
08:18 OK.
08:19 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
08:27 Including the rotunda or the 20 circle until the end.
08:32 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
08:37 Configurations unlike that of the typical road that
08:41 was a city.
08:43 So [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
08:46 Before coming up with the shelf.
08:48 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
08:52 Which is pretty much like a park.
08:54 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
08:56 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
09:12 There was a protection actually because when
09:15 I made the operation, I was there personally.
09:18 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
09:22 Yes, sir.
09:22 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
09:24 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
09:27 Since time immemorial, I can always remember that.
09:31 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
09:34 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
09:35 [LAUGHS]
09:36 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
09:38 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
09:52 Give us some proof that this part of the sidewalk
09:56 is owned privately by the building owner.
10:00 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
10:09 But then again, ma'am, since this is already
10:11 been co-entered--
10:14 Developed.
10:15 --an issue, I will--
10:18 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
10:20 I will request to check into these establishments.
10:25 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
10:28 With regards to parking.
10:30 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
10:33 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
10:41 Exactly, ma'am.
10:42 Exactly.
10:43 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
10:53 Commercial establishments, they should provide parking,
10:57 not on the sidewalk, not on the streets, but separately.
11:01 Not only for the safety of their--
11:04 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
11:06 Clients.
11:07 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
11:11 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
11:25 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
11:42 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
11:48 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
12:02 Yes.
12:03 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
12:05 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
12:06 Yes.
12:07 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
12:17 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
12:27 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
12:35 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
12:45 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
12:55 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
12:56 Yes.
12:57 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
12:58 Yes.
12:59 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
13:21 So this is a requirement to have a traffic advisory.
13:25 But using the logo of a government office,
13:28 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
13:30 traffic advisory, it's a no-no.
13:33 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
13:40 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
13:43 Actually, it was 30 days.
13:45 OK.
13:46 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
14:12 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
14:18 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
14:23 And then their engineers were the ones who presented
14:26 the traffic management plan.
14:28 Actually, we were very happy before.
14:30 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
14:37 The DOTR engineers were the ones who presented the traffic management plan. For the longest time, they were not the ones to present the plan. So I was happy to hear that it was good.
14:50 Development was good because they were DOTR engineers.
14:54 I told our department head that they are the ones who presented the plan.
15:11 Aside from Mayus Meña Boulevard, sir, are there other areas that are not currently under BRT project management group because of the CCTO traffic?
15:24 We told them that it is the policy of the office that it is not allowed unless they can present the traffic management plan. According to them, last week, there are a lot of intersections in Siracan, almost 90 percent of the line.
15:45 The whole project is in line with the concrete. So we told them to take it one at a time so that people can get it.
16:01 The plan they presented was Puente Rotonda, the connection to the intersection of Skywalk.
16:20 In Arlington Pan?
16:24 Yes. It cannot be reached. The intersection is already there. They will concretize the connection to the intersection.
16:34 Okay. Sir, the one in Puente Rotonda, sir, is it concrete for BRT?
16:45 Yes.
16:46 Okay. Apparently, if there are 10 motorcycles driving, you cannot monitor them because the road is not even.
16:54 Yes. Actually, I'm the one who raised them. It poses danger to the motorists.
17:04 It is a disgrace to the family. On Mother's Day, the father, mother, and child were riding motorcycles. They were hit because the father did not monitor the road.
17:15 They were hit because the pizza was not even on Mother's Day. They were hit because they did not find proper road signage. Is it a requirement in traffic to provide signage that does not go around the road?
17:34 Yes. It is uneven. The road is uneven. The issue has been filing up and I hope that for all, the people will be able to do it.
17:53 Okay. Atty. Hongoy, we expect that you will give us your feedback on the Harison Park and the BRT projects.
18:13 Yes. We are always looking for solutions to the problems of the road. If possible, we will look for a solution that is worth it.
18:27 Wow. Wow. We will be waiting for your feedback.
18:31 We will be waiting for your feedback, Atty. Hongoy. Thank you for your time, Atty. Hongoy.
18:38 Thank you very much.
18:39 Atty. Kent Hongoy from Cebu City Transportation Office. The discussion on parking is high.
18:48 Ronald Lopez, the replacement of the driver's license did not work. The car was parked on the sidewalk. There was no parking sign. I am not sure if they put a parking sign.
19:08 But if it is a sidewalk, there is no parking. It is clear that it is a sidewalk. It is true. The illegal parking was stopped by Ronald Lopez.
19:19 My colleague, Mitzi, was already there. She was already there. They were already there.
19:26 Ronald, it is more difficult if there is no parking sign but if it is a sidewalk, the car will not be blocked for pedestrians.
19:36 That is true. It is clear that it is a sidewalk.
19:40 It is like a road. There is a lot of traffic.
19:44 This sidewalk is either for parking, for parking, for service, or for extension in some places.
19:52 So, the road is also a road.
19:54 The road is used for people and cars.
19:58 The sidewalk is also a road.
20:06 This is a campaign that President Rodrigo Duterte launched during the campaign to penalize LGUs for obstructing the sidewalk.
20:16 This is not enough.
20:18 This is not to discriminate our vendors.
20:28 This is not enough. This is not enough.
20:48 This is not enough. This is not enough.
