00:00Today is the Bike to Work Day, a project of the DOH and Interagency Technical Working Group on Active Transport

00:08which aims to encourage the public in active transportation.

00:11Isaiah Mirafente is in the center of the news.

00:17Are you used to ride a bicycle?

00:19Have you experienced riding a bicycle to get to work?

00:23Bike to Work, this is what the DOH pushes for every employee.

00:28That's why today, the Bike to Work Day is held again with the help of the DOH and Interagency Technical Working Group on Active Transport.

00:37Every last working day of November every year, this is held.

00:42The goal of this event is to encourage every citizen, especially those who work, to choose active transportation more.

00:51This includes riding a bicycle, which has a lot of benefits.

00:55You save on massages, you get to help nature, and you get to exercise.

01:02Based on the Philippine Development Plan 2023-2028, the government aims to strengthen active transport networks.

01:10This National Bike to Work Day is in accordance with the call of our President to have a celebration like this before December.

01:19Pedestrians and cyclists are one of the things that are given importance on the streets.

01:24The DOH also added that active transport is important because it gives priority to health.

01:31This is what we are pushing for because we understand and we acknowledge the benefits of biking as a form of exercise.

01:40It's not just our body that benefits, but our environment as well.

01:45Because through biking, we are also lessening the carbon emission for our environment.

01:52And this will also help to avoid the so-called communicable diseases.

01:58One of the goals of the Bike to Work Day is to encourage the national and local governments to make steps to strengthen the active transport network.

02:09They are encouraging our employees to have a mode of transportation using a bicycle because it's good for our health.

02:21And of course, the cost of gasoline.

02:26That's why this project of our Department of Health is also good.

02:30The Bike to Work Day is approved by some employees.

02:34First of all, it helps with the environment and climate change.

02:39How much will it help you?

02:42For now, I can say that it will help me 70% of my life.

02:50The MMDA also promised that they will continue to monitor to ensure that only those who ride a bicycle will pass through the bike lanes.
