00:00Construction of infrastructure projects is the main focus of President R. Marcos, Jr.

00:06in the new leadership of the Department of Transportation.

00:09This is to make the traffic faster in the country.

00:13Ken and Patientes in the center of the news.

00:19Yes, Angelique, in his appointment as the new secretary of the DOTR,

00:23Secretary Vince Dizon promised to speed up the construction of infrastructure projects

00:29of the government.

00:32After his formal appointment with President Ferdinand R. Marcos, Jr.

00:36as the new secretary of the Department of Transportation,

00:39the President's marching order for the Secretary

00:42is to have a proper and efficient transport system in the country.

00:46This is to reduce the burden of commuters

00:49in their daily lives.

00:51Although there are currently projects for infrastructure,

00:55the Secretary will focus on short-term solutions to their transport systems in the country.

01:00He also suggested to make the EDSA busway more efficient

01:04by quickly dispatching buses to avoid traffic congestion.

01:10He should also add new MRTs and sidewalks

01:14for individuals who do not need to commute to work or school.

01:19The Secretariat will also address some issues

01:23facing some big-ticket infrastructure projects,

01:25including the right-of-way issues.

01:29But the right-of-way,

01:30the solution to that will not come from the Department of Transportation.

01:34The solution to the right-of-way will come from

01:37local government units, our mayors, our governors.

01:41It will come from our private sector

01:44because a lot of the land that needs to be used

01:48is in the hands of the private sector.

01:50We have to work together.

01:52And it will come from different agencies of the national government.

01:58When it comes to the PUV modernization,

02:00Dizon said that he is in favor of it.

02:02But he still needs to study it well

02:04and get the support of the transport workers.

02:10That's a brainer.

02:12But I think it is necessary to study it well.

02:14I admit that I am not familiar with the issues.

02:16But from what I have read in your reports in the past,

02:20what we really need to talk about here

02:24is the transport workers,

02:26our operators, our drivers.

02:28Because at the end of the day,

02:30what are the additional expenses?

02:32They need to be paid.

02:34They need to be paid.

02:36And we need to talk about it well.

02:38They need to be paid.

02:40They need to be paid.

02:42And we need to talk about it well.

02:44And I think that's what we need to do.

02:46I think that's what we need to do.

02:48I think that's what we need to do.

02:50I think that I am of the opinion

02:52that our jeepney operators,

02:54jeepney drivers,

02:56will not be affected by the revival.

02:58They will not be affected by the modernization.

03:02But I think that they have their own concerns.

03:06The government needs to listen.

03:09Meanwhile, Angelique,

03:10in her initial work,

03:12Dizon immediately ordered

03:14the suspension of the cashless toll collection

03:18for tollways that were previously used

03:20by the Toll Regulatory Board.

03:24This was tried already in the past.

03:26Several years ago.

03:28And we probably all remember what happened

03:30in Baguintawak and in other choke points

03:33on NLEX and SLEX.

03:35It was a mess.

03:37Because, I guess, for whatever reason,

03:39the information was not disseminated.

03:41For me, my personal opinion,

03:43and I've communicated this already to TRB,

03:45having a cashless system

03:49is not pro-poor.

03:51It is anti-poor.

03:53Angelique was also encouraged

03:55by Secretary Vince Dizon

03:57to study the government's projects well

04:00in order to understand

04:02how these projects will be implemented.

04:04Angelique?

04:05Okay, so Kenneth,

04:06is there any expectation

04:08for the DOTR

04:10under the leadership of Secretary Dizon?

04:20Yes, Kenneth?

04:21Dizon, it is expected that

04:23new officials will join the DOTR.

04:26Because of the current situation,

04:28there is no time to waste.

04:30So, it is better

04:31to know the incoming DOTR officials

04:34so that the agency's work will be faster.

04:37Even so, Angelique,

04:38Secretary Vince Dizon also said

04:40that there are incumbent DOTR officials

04:43who will remain inside the agency.

04:45Angelique?

04:46Okay, thank you very much, Kenneth.

04:48Patience.
