00:00At the same time as the stoppage of the Manibela group today,
00:05the MRT-3 will be added to the operation for an hour.
00:12The government is also ready to deploy a free ride.
00:16We have on the spot, Joseph Morong.
00:23Yes, Connie, the Transportation Department is monitoring
00:26the effect of the three-day stoppage of the Manibela group
00:30against the Public Transportation Modernization Program or PTMP.
00:35Earlier in the monitoring, MMDA Chairman Romando Artes
00:38and Transportation Secretary Vince Dizon said
00:40that there was not much effect on the site of the rally held earlier this morning.
00:45The government is also ready to deploy free ride buses.
00:50The LRT Line 1, Connie, which is being run by a private company,
00:54will add one train today due to the ongoing transport strike.
00:59MMDA and DOTR have also warned the Manibela group
01:02that even though they have maximum tolerance,
01:04they will still have to face those who are rallying.
01:07If they are in the way of the public,
01:09they will do what Connie said, they will block the group.
01:12Their vehicles have nothing else to do but to arrest those who are moving the Manibela
01:18because this is the wrong number of those who are consolidating the jeepneys.
01:22It is only 43%, according to Secretary Dizon,
01:26and it is far from the 86% that was given by DOTR earlier.
01:31Earlier, along with the transport strike,
01:33the groups in favor of the program rallied at the LTFRB office.
01:38They also pointed to LTFRB Chairman Atty. Chof Luguarez III
01:43and DOTR Undersecretary Mon Reyes.
01:46The LTFRB approved 86% as part of the program
01:51even though they are not yet fully approved
01:53because they already gave a Certificate of Conformity.
01:57Meanwhile, what you said earlier,
01:59what Dizon also announced earlier,
02:01that the MRT-3 operation will be extended for an hour starting later tonight.
02:07DOTR said that the extended hours will be Monday to Friday.
02:13The North Avenue Station will be closed for the last trip of the Southbound train.
02:18As for the Northbound trains,
02:20the Taft Avenue Station will be closed at 11.04 p.m.
02:24for the last trip of the train there.
02:26The MRT-3 will also be added during peak hours.
02:30Dizon asked for the Manibela to be closed for only one day
02:35because they said that they will be open for some changes in the program.
02:42Joseph, Manibela said that the MRT-3 will be closed for three days.
02:48There are contingency plans for the MRT-3 to be extended.
02:54Aside from that,
02:55are we seeing any additional trains that will be used by our countrymen,
03:01especially for those who will be going home later?
03:05Okay.
03:06First of all,
03:07the MMDA is being careful to simply deploy free buses.
03:14Although we have seen some buses at the MMDA's office.
03:19They said that if it's not necessary,
03:21if there are still vehicles,
03:23our countrymen should not use free buses.
03:26The situation is still the same.
03:29Later tonight,
03:31if, for example,
03:32there is a situation where vehicles are being blocked,
03:38number one,
03:39the LGUs and MMDAs will be deployed.
03:43For our countrymen,
03:45and secondly,
03:46if it's really necessary,
03:47we will arrest the vehicles that are blocking our motorists.
03:54Thank you very much, Joseph Morong.
