00:00Update po tayo sa inasahang lalo pang pagdigat ng trafiko ngayong magpapasko, kausapin natin si MMDA Special Operators Group Strike Force Chief Gabriel Go.
00:09Magandang umaga at welcome po sa Balitang Hali.
00:12Magandang umaga Sir Rafi and of course sa lahat na nakasubaybay sa atin.
00:17Ilang percent po yung inasahang pagtaas ng volume ng mga sasakyan ngayong Desyembre at paano niyo po ito pinaghahandaan?
00:23Well, kung tinitingnan natin based on the data that we have gathered, we have already counted more than 450,000 vehicles.
00:29That's just for November.
00:31And sa ngayon po, nalalapit na po ang Pasko, inang linggo na lang, we are expecting more or less, around 15% to 20% increase of the volume of vehicles.
00:41So ito pag-idagsa ng mga kababayan po natin na nais pong to spend the Christmas together with their families, yung mga galing ibang bansa, yung mga balikbayan po natin.
00:52And of course, yung mga kababayan natin sa Karating province na nais pong mapaaga or to start their Christmas shopping,
00:59and also to do some errands and spend time also with friends.
01:02So isa po yan sa mga nakikita natin reasons or elements kung bakit madadagdagan pa po ng volume ng sasakyan sa ating mga kalsada.
01:10May mga particular areas po ba na nagiipon itong mga sasakyan na madadagdag para maiwasan ng mga motorista?
01:17Definitely po, Sir Raffy. Alam naman natin mahigit 20 malls ang nakalatag po sa kahabaan ng EDSA alone.
01:26So definitely one of the biggest choke points or traffic congestion that we're expecting will be around EDSA.
01:32This is from north to south. But rest assured naman po, hindi lang naman po itong kahabaan ng EDSA ang ating pinabantayan.
01:38At the same time, ginagampanan po ang ating mga traffic management but all throughout Metro Manila
01:43dahil nakakalat po ang lahat ng mga shopping centers and mga groceries po throughout Metro Manila.
01:49Linawi nga po natin, pwede po ba sa motorcycle lane at bike lane yung mga four-wheel vehicles?
01:54At pag naman motor at bike, exclusive ba sila dapat dun sa kanilang linya?
01:59Well definitely, pinagbabawal po yan. That's why it's called the exclusive bike lane and the exclusive motorcycle lane.
02:05Case in point na lang ang mga bike lanes po natin. For example, in the stretch of C5, meron po tayong mga barriers diyan or pangharam.
02:13So definitely it constitutes na bawal pong pumasok ang mga four-wheel vehicles.
02:18Then another thing po, ang ating exclusive motorcycle lane tulad po sa kahabaan ng Commonwealth,
02:24the traffic signages or even the road markings already constitute kung ano ang pwede at bawal.
02:30So kung ito po ay solid line, definitely bawal pong pumasok or mag-cross.
02:34The only time na pwede po kayo mag-cross sa ating tulad po yan, the exclusive motorcycle lane,
02:39will be kung meron pong mga broken or dotted lines.
02:42But that is only to cross, hindi po pwede magbabal.
02:45Pero ang problema pa talaga, hindi ito nasusunod.
02:49Do ba kayo dun? At paano po natin ito natutugunan?
02:54Well Raffy alam mo, isa yan sa isang nakikita natin problema is the consistency of the enforcement.
03:01So that's the thing that we are working on at pinagtutunan din po natin ang pansin,
03:05yung being consistent sa pagpapatupad ng ating mga batas trafiko,
03:09especially po dyan sa exclusive motorcycle lane at sa exclusive bike lane po natin.
03:15Tungkol naman po sa Edsa Baswe, hindi pa rin nawawala yung mga pasaway na dumadaan kahit may malaking multa na.
03:21Ano po mga naisip niyong hakbang nga laban dito?
03:24Well first and foremost sir Raffy, ang jurisdiction or the responsibility of the Edsa Bas Carousel or the bus lane,
03:31ito po ay na-turnover na po sa DOTR.
03:34So kami naman po, sa aming hanay, MMDA po, definitely kung ano naman po ang mangiging decision
03:43or kung meron mga hakbang for improvements, narito naman po kami to give our assistance
03:48and kung ano naman po ang kailangan para mapatupad po ng tama and safely ang mga batas trafiko,
03:54especially dyan po sa Edsa Bas Carousel.
03:56Pero na-consultaho ba kayo ng DOTR dun sa kanilang plano na i-reverse yung direction ng Edsa Bas Carousel?
04:01Sa tingin nyo magiging efektibo po ito?
04:04Well napag-aaralan naman po yan. Definitely meron naman po mga case studies at mga pagsusuri na gagawin
04:12before we conclude or bago po natin ipatupad ang isang bagay.
04:15Dahil napakalaking pagbabago or napakalaking change ang gagawin natin kung babalik na rin po natin ang direction.
04:22But it's something that we are studying at kino-consider.
04:25Sa atin naman po whatever will be the magiging advantageous para sa ikabubuti ng ating lansangan,
04:33definitely we will assist and we will implement naman po.
04:36Pero up to end of the day mukhang talagang driver education ang problema no?
04:39Dahil talagang yung violation kapag walang mga traffic enforcer mag-violate yung mga driver.
04:44So talagang paano natin masolusyonan yung driver education na nakakulangan sa ating mga motorista?
04:51Totoo po yan Sir Raffy. Actually what we are implementing right now is not just about enforcement.
04:57We enforce the law along with education.
05:00Dahil marami po sa ating mga motorista we give them the benefit pa daw na probably hindi po nila alam
05:07or probably nakaligtaan po nila yung tamang batas trafiko sa ating mga kalsada.
05:11So we have to educate them and also enforce the law.
05:15So ang mahalaga po aside from the enforcement, the education, is also to instill yung disiplina.
05:21And aside from that, hindi lang po disiplina.
05:24It's about time we become sensitive and more considerate ng mga kasama po natin sa kalsada.
05:29Para naman po maayos whether may enforcer or wala, tayo po mismo yung self-discipline at consideration sa kasama natin.
05:38Sige po. Maraming salamat MMDA Special Operations Group Strike Force Chief Gabriel Go.
05:43Maraming salamat po Sir Raffy.
