00:00Because of the heavy traffic in Metro Manila,
00:03the municipality is adjusting the operating hours of the malls.
00:08Approved.
00:08That's why this is for some of our countrymen.
00:10Live from Quezon City,
00:12here's the news from Bam Alegre.
00:14Bam, what did the people you talked to say?
00:18Maris, good morning.
00:20Yes, there are still no vermans and shopping cramming is not expected yet.
00:24But the municipality is already adjusting the mall hours to reduce the traffic.
00:27Is this for some of our countrymen?
00:30Here's the street hit.
00:39EDSA rush hour plus flyover retrofit.
00:42Killer combo of bumper-to-bumper traffic.
00:45In the next week or month,
00:47there will be some infrastructure under EDSA
00:49for preventive maintenance.
00:51That's why one of the solutions discussed by the Metro Manila Council
00:54is adjusting the mall hours.
00:56It aims to be a contrachamber in rush hour
00:59and reduce the volume of vehicles.
01:01For the taxi driver, Alfred Pangilinan,
01:04this might have an effect.
01:05This has no effect, especially now that there are a lot of roads being built.
01:09There's nothing.
01:10Even if the roads are built, there's nothing.
01:12There's a lot of traffic.
01:14The passenger, Kier Gutierrez, is also not impressed.
01:16It can be reduced,
01:17but not only in the malls where people are gathering.
01:20There are still a lot of facilities aside from malls that are open.
01:24So people are not just...
01:26Though sometimes, it can be a factor that can be reduced a bit,
01:33but the traffic will not be resolved immediately.
01:36The driver, Fernando Meral, understands the purpose of this.
01:39It's not going out at the same time.
01:41It might be possible.
01:42The rider, Ron Zulueta, sees the potential of this bumper
01:45to reduce traffic.
01:47It's possible because the rush hour is what's being taken care of, right?
01:51Usually, the rush hour is what people avoid.
01:54So for me, I think it's okay.
02:02So Maris, here in the fight against traffic,
02:04some LGs have adjusted their working hours from 7am to 4pm.
02:09So let's see if this will really improve the traffic.
02:11This is Street Hirit from Casa City,
02:13for GMA Integrated News.
