00:00Meanwhile, let's go back to Metro Manila.

00:02Now, it's a holiday rush. Heavy traffic here in Metro Manila is expected to be heavy.

00:08Preparations and reminders of the Metro Manila Development Authority or MMDA in my first news.

00:18Did you notice that the traffic is getting heavier these past days, especially in EDSA?

00:24According to the Metro Manila Development Authority or MMDA,

00:27until this November 25, more than 464,000 vehicles passed through EDSA every day.

00:35This is a possible consequence of many returning home for Christmas

00:39and those who started early in their Christmas shopping.

00:42Definitely, there will be an increase of volume of vehicles for the next few weeks.

00:47The traffic congestion or what we call bottlenecks will be near the mall areas.

00:52That's why even on weekends,

00:54Traffic

00:55Even on weekends, we can see heavy traffic here in EDSA

01:01in the area before North Avenue, where the two big malls can be found.

01:07According to the MMDA, the heavy traffic will continue because of the Christmas rush.

01:14The traffic enforcers of the MMDA are also on extended duty.

01:18From November 18, 11 a.m. to 11 p.m. are the mall hours.

01:23If the malls want to be open until dawn, that's even better.

01:27What is our goal here?

01:29That the mall goers should not follow the rush hours at night.

01:35The clearing operations of LGOs and MMDAs in Babuhay Lane will continue

01:39so that there will be no obstruction to alternative routes.

01:41Now, the volume in EDSA is heavy.

01:43The Metro Manila Council also insisted that the traffic jams should not be obstructed.

01:48They called on motorists.

01:50If we will violate, we will be the reason for the traffic.

01:54We will also complain that there's a lot of traffic.

01:56It's better if we follow the traffic laws.

01:59MMC also reminded that, especially during Christmas parties,

02:03do not drive while drinking.

02:06This is the first news.
