00:00 Even though it's still prohibited for motorists to park in restricted areas in Metro Manila.
00:06 Here is my first news.
00:08 It's clear that this is just a car.
00:14 It's prohibited to park at any time, but this is the car.
00:18 But even if you go to the lane, there are still people who are parked without any care.
00:23 These gyms were left by the owner to go on vacation this Christmas.
00:28 Others just asked for a moment.
00:31 I just want a snack.
00:33 Yes.
00:34 How long did you park?
00:36 Just a moment.
00:37 I just agreed because there are a lot of people who are parked.
00:40 It was flat.
00:41 Then?
00:42 The wheels were vulcanized.
00:44 So, I just followed them to eat.
00:46 Even the stores were left on the road or pedestrian area, even though they are often visited.
00:52 It's visited. There is no income in other places.
00:57 The result is that the traffic is slowing down.
01:00 The residents of Barangay Magallanes will visit the area later.
01:04 But they will only be able to do so for a limited period.
01:07 We are insisting on that because number one, they should not be allowed to park there.
01:14 As of now, we are not holding any ordinance violation receipts because there is a unified ticketing system.
01:21 It's like a cat and mouse.
01:22 Last afternoon, 3 students were out of school here in Chino Rosas Extension.
01:29 As you can see, there are a lot of cars that are following the children.
01:35 But as we can see, instead of being able to enter the school continuously,
01:40 they are parked on a lane of the road.
01:44 So, instead of having two lanes for the motorists, only one lane is used.
01:50 And if you turn right, there are still people parked there even though it's prohibited.
01:56 I asked for permission from one of the schools where the traffic is heavier.
02:02 Because we are full. We are just about to enter. We are just picking up.
02:07 Barangay Magallanes is now in agreement with MMDA.
02:11 Given our resources, our personnel is limited.
02:16 We cannot stay there for 24 hours.
02:20 MMDA asked the traffic bureaus of the cities to submit their name of enforcers so they can be deputized.
02:27 But when it comes to the barangay...
02:29 In the barangay, there's no protocol yet as regard to deputizing them so they can issue a ticket.
02:36 But then again, on our part, the development authorities are holding a hold.
02:40 We are constantly operating that area in cooperation also with the local DNP.
02:46 They are also doing their part in their job.
02:50 And also, they do issue filing of tickets.
02:53 Many MMDA officers were illegally parked on the sidewalk of Mel Lopez Boulevard
02:58 when they were doing their clearing operation.
03:01 This couple was forced to stop by MMDA when they were stopped by their tricycle
03:05 because they were living under the influence of the tricycle.
03:07 They even blocked the tow truck so it cannot leave.
03:11 But MMDA still allowed their tricycle.
03:14 MMDA explained...
03:16 Everyone needs to make a living.
03:18 But we always remind them that they should find a way to make a living
03:23 especially in the right place.
