00:00In the upcoming rehabilitation that will be done in EDSA and EDSA Busway,
00:04a group of persons with disabilities is asking for their help.
00:10This is the news brought to you by Oscar Oida.
00:16Every time EDSA Busway station is used in Camuning,
00:19the 61-year-old PWD driver, Mang Romel, has a hard time.
00:23He can't reach the benches and ramps.
00:27He is like a ghost.
00:29Because it's tight, it's narrow.
00:32It's like that.
00:34It's just made so that our BP344 can just follow.
00:39Along with several PWD members and several groups,
00:42Mang Romel also tasked the sidewalks in the area towards the busway
00:46to show the way for those with disabilities.
00:51Our planners should be able to see the ramps,
01:00especially those going up to the busway or to our carousel.
01:07Safety comes first.
01:10It's hard for them to go up to the footbridge without an elevator.
01:15It's good that he was able to go up.
01:18Mang Romel tried, but he couldn't do it.
01:22Most of the time, he relies on other people's help.
01:26When he sees that I can't go up, he helps me.
01:31But it's scary.
01:32He should know how to handle a wheelchair user.
01:38He should know how to handle a wheelchair user.
01:42I hope that overpasses like this have elevators.
01:47Or if it's up there, there should be a walk-out.
01:51So that we won't have a hard time with PWD.
01:54They asked for a new group, Partnership for Inclusion, Accessibility, and Safety in EDSA, or PSA.
02:01Because EDSA will be rehabbed, we will be with the consultants.
02:09We asked for a statement.
02:11There is no transportation official available to face us.
02:15But this past day, Transportation Secretary Vince Dizon also found out
02:20about the non-functioning elevators in the busway.
02:24He said that the carousel will study the private part of the busway
02:28so that it can be operated properly.
