Transcript
00:00 Some groups protested against the modernization of jeepneys.
00:05 Some were forced to leave the jeepneys before reaching the expressways,
00:09 while the protest caravan was forced to leave before reaching Malacanang.
00:15 And live, we were able to talk to Joseph Boru.
00:18 Joseph.
00:19 To those who will be going to Manila at this time,
00:26 I'm sorry because this part of Spain is closed
00:30 because the group Pistón and Manivela is still here at this time
00:33 because they protested against the POV modernization program last night.
00:38 They are still protesting because they can still cross the Mandola at this time
00:41 but our police are not allowing that.
00:44 This morning, members of Pistón and Manivela gathered in UPD Liman.
00:52 The plan is to push the Mandola near Malacanang to protest.
00:56 They are protesting against the POV modernization.
00:58 But the members of Manivela from Cavite and Bulacan are waiting for the caravan
01:02 because it did not reach the expressways.
01:05 You're still holding on. Why? Did you get the license?
01:10 I got the license.
01:13 The Philippine National Police confirmed that there are checkpoints in Cavite
01:17 and it has not been crossed by Metro Manila
01:19 because it is considered as out of line or those who are traveling outside the route
01:23 for the caravan to be held by the police.
01:24 Those who are protesting in Lomarga on Commonwealth Avenue did not wait for them
01:29 but they were stopped when they arrived at the Welcome Rotonda in Manila.
01:32 This group should have crossed the Welcome Rotonda to go to the Mandola
01:37 but they are still being stopped here at the Welcome Rotonda.
01:41 They said that those who are traveling with jeepneys from other provinces are out of line.
01:47 There are also those who are stopping at España Boulevard.
01:51 The plan to go to the Mandola has not been allowed.
01:54 The traffic did not move after they left.
01:57 You have to give us your permission.
01:59 We are giving you a lot of this. We will not disturb you.
02:01 You will not advance.
02:03 There are still a lot of people there. It's still far.
02:05 We don't want to see people who are still on the island
02:09 and we don't want to see people who are still on the gutter.
02:13 We gave them 30 minutes.
02:15 If they will still be there, maybe one hour.
02:18 The blockade was put in place in the direction of the land transportation,
02:22 franchising and regulatory board of LTFRB
02:24 to those jeepneys that are not consolidated since February 1.
02:28 It was only effective until the end of their provisional authority.
02:32 But Pistón said that their members are being forced to leave because LTFRB has no right
02:37 to cancel their franchise that came from the Congress.
02:41 What LTFRB is doing now is questionable to the Congress.
02:45 We called for a panic to LTFRB.
02:51 Vicky, regarding this, there is no problem with the part of Spain that is going to Quezon City.
02:56 However, it is still closed.
02:57 The rallyists and the police are still barred from going to Spain.
03:02 We are still informing the authorities.
03:04 They have been debating whether to launch or not.
03:07 This is a riot in protest.
03:08 The LTFRB and DOTR, Department of Transportation,
03:11 are still defending the implementation of the PUV Modernization Program.
03:16 Thank you very much, Joseph Morong.
