00:00Because it's cool to drive,

00:02Rampang went online for persons with disability

00:05that was installed in the new Edsa Bus Carousel Station

00:08in North Avenue, Quezon City.

00:10It was tried by a person in a wheelchair

00:13and it was measured by an architect

00:15to find out if it passed the standard of being cool.

00:19Jonathan Andal is the one who got it right!

00:24This picture of Rampang is now viral

00:26in a new station of Edsa Busway in Philam, Quezon City

00:30where netizens say it's cool and dangerous for PWDs.

00:37To confirm, we went there with Nelson,

00:41a wheelchair user of the Life Haven group.

00:43Sir, do you think you can do it?

00:45This is life-threatening, but we'll try.

00:48From the bench, Nelson took the elevator up to the footbridge.

00:53It was only the first ramp when he got out of the elevator.

00:57It's hard.

00:59I can't do it.

01:00I really can't do it.

01:02To get out of the bus,

01:04he'll try the viral PWD ramp

01:07to get on another elevator.

01:10I really don't think he can do it.

01:13Why?

01:14Because it's so scary.

01:16If I go straight there,

01:20I might bump into a piece of metal.

01:23But with the help of his teammate,

01:25Nelson still tried to get down,

01:27but backwards.

01:29Can you do it?

01:31Yes, I can do it.

01:33Nelson had to hold on to the railings

01:36to help his teammate who broke one of his arms.

01:39It's really hard.

01:41He really can't do it,

01:43even though he's a professional wheelchair user.

01:45It's really slippery and tight.

01:48It's not standard.

01:50Sir who's assisting,

01:52is it hard for you?

01:54It's really hard.

01:56We also showed

01:58the ramp to Architect Arman Yustaquio.

02:00He was one of the first ones

02:02to pass the IRR,

02:04or Implementing Rules and Regulations,

02:06of the National Law 344,

02:08or the Accessibility Law.

02:10Based on the law,

02:12the incline of PWD ramps should be only 4.8 degrees.

02:14But when he measured it

02:16with an inclinometer,

02:18it was 14.15 degrees.

02:20That's a huge difference.

02:22It's 10 degrees steeper

02:24than 1 in 12.

02:26So it's really steep.

02:28MMDA said that's why they made this ramp

02:30because when the elevator goes up,

02:32it's not level with the footbridge.

02:34They can't even raise the elevator

02:36because it will hit the MRT.

02:38If the MRT has a requirement

02:40that it should be like this,

02:43they can't raise it.

02:53Their solution is

02:55to put the ramp railings

02:57so that it will be stable.

02:59If we don't put it,

03:01what will happen to the PWDs?

03:03Not only PWDs,

03:05but also the elderly

03:07who have a hard time walking,

03:09the pregnant women.

03:11I always tell them

03:13it's hard for them to walk

03:15because they can't access the loading stations.

03:17So that's the solution.

03:19But the problem is

03:21the space is restricted.

03:23We appreciate MMDA's efforts

03:25to make it accessible.

03:27But the intent of DP344

03:29is accessibility law,

03:31independent mobility.

03:33In this case,

03:35they can't handle unassisted,

03:37especially those using wheelchairs.

03:40Otherwise, it's a bit dangerous.

03:42Because it's dangerous,

03:44Nelson will not ride the EDSA carousel bus

03:46if the station is like this.

03:48He called on the government

03:50to consult us

03:52if they will do this

03:54because we are the ones

03:56using this.

03:58For GMA Integrated News,

04:00Jonathan Andal, for 24 Hours.

04:04Although there is a standard

04:06that is recommended,

04:08the ramps in overpasses

04:10and underpasses

04:12may not follow the standard

04:14of maximum gradient or angulo.
