00:00Authorities are targeting the routes that were passed by trucks following the accidents that happened in the past few days.
00:08Along with that, the main roads are being monitored especially when the traffic is getting heavier this Christmas.
00:14Live from Quezon City, we have the first news, James Agustin. James.
00:23Good morning. The traffic that we are experiencing is getting worse and worse,
00:27especially now on the left and right, the Christmas parties and shopping.
00:31That's why our fellow citizens are discarding so that it won't be too late for them to go.
00:39The high school teacher, Lodovico, is also from Camarines,
00:42because he doesn't want to reach the rush hour. He travels early.
00:46I wake up early, like now, so that I won't be late when I go to school.
00:56Nene is also discarding so that he won't be late when he goes to work in a canteen near North Avenue.
01:01I wake up early to adjust the time. Like now, we adjust the time because of the traffic, especially in the morning.
01:11It's getting harder to travel in the morning. The traffic is getting worse this Christmas.
01:16In this season, many people are buying, so they are busy preparing for Christmas and New Year.
01:26There's a lot of traffic, especially in December.
01:30A lot of people are buying for Christmas, maybe.
01:37He also feels that the drivers are for public transportation.
01:40There's a lot of traffic. No, there's no change. It's getting worse.
01:44Just hang in there, sir. Number one, hang in there. That's all.
01:48The other passengers' choice is to book a motorcycle taxi.
01:53The traffic is really bad, but in our time in December, there's a lot of traffic.
01:59We avoided the traffic. We just avoid the corners where we can pass through.
02:05We are just discarding.
02:07The Land Transportation Office or LTO will deploy additional personnel this holiday season.
02:13Among the main routes where trucks pass through,
02:17two separate accidents were recorded during the day in Metro Manila that affected the lives of five people.
02:30In the meantime, this is the situation here in the southbound lane of EDSA Cubao.
02:35There are not that many vehicles yet.
02:37Actually, the traffic was more intense earlier before 6 a.m.
02:41Now, the number of vehicles here is increasing.
02:43Maybe it's just accumulating when it comes to the intersection of Aurora Boulevard.
02:48But according to MMDA Metro Base, there were no accidents here in the southbound lane of EDSA.
02:53In the northbound lane, the traffic is more intense this morning.
02:58That is the first news from Quezon City.
03:00I am James Agustin for GMA Integrated News.
