00:00There is no preparation for the holiday season of the transport sector.

00:04We will discuss this with Executive Assistant to the Secretary, Jonathan Guzmundo

00:09of the Department of Transportation.

00:11Sir, good afternoon.

00:14Good afternoon to you too, Nina.

00:18Sir, how is your assessment of the volume of vehicles and passengers

00:22in public utility vehicles this holiday season?

00:26How big is your expectation of the volume of people and vehicles

00:30a few days before Christmas?

00:34Well, actually, Weng, I don't need to count anymore.

00:38So, I think about two weeks ago, it started, in November,

00:42there was the cargamedon.

00:45And it will continue until next week.

00:49What we are doing here in DOTR,

00:52we have been preparing for a long time.

00:56I have a number, 345.

00:59Three million are expected to be added to PITX,

01:07so land there.

01:08Four million are expected to be added to pier, ports, seaports.

01:16Four million will be added until next month,

01:19I think the first two weeks of January.

01:22And then 5,000 ENVS slots were opened by LTFRB,

01:28specifically for this holiday season,

01:32to add ride hailing.

01:35Motorcycle taxis are preferred now because of the traffic.

01:43So that's the number.

01:45And like other agencies, MTA, police,

01:49they are already on full alert.

01:51Our Coast Guard also announced that they are already on full deployment

01:56in different provinces.

01:58Not only in the province, the Coast Guard is also in the airports.

02:01It is also in EDSA.

02:03So we will continue.

02:05Regarding the so-called longer operation of our LRT-1, LRT-2, and MRT-3,

02:16even though we want to,

02:19we have already adjusted.

02:21I think one hour before the normal and one hour after,

02:25at night,

02:27we will not be able to add more.

02:30Because this will affect the mandatory maintenance,

02:35daily maintenance of the wagons,

02:39of our railways systems.

02:42This is necessary.

02:43We cannot compromise the safety concerns

02:49of our three rail systems here in Metro Manila.

02:53That's why our LRT-1 and MRT-3 have already adjusted.

02:59But up to that point,

03:01because we need to secure and ensure

03:05that you will travel safely this Christmas.

03:10Okay.

03:11Will there be a free ride program again

03:16in EDSA Carousel

03:17to help our commuters?

03:21We are not talking about a free ride in the bus carousel.

03:28Maybe the DOTR will consult

03:30the two accredited consortiums there.

03:36Because we know that when passengers travel,

03:40there will be a lot of traffic

03:43on the same line of EDSA, which is wide.

03:46That's why we will continue to implement regulations

03:52on the EDSA busway

03:54so that the owners of private vehicles

03:58will be able to use public transport.

04:00When it comes to EDSA,

04:03the MRT-3 and busway are already there.

04:06Let's not expect the government

04:09to ease the traffic.

04:11We will be able to help

04:13by leaving our private vehicles in the garage

04:17and use public transport.

04:20Sir, how is the preparation of the roads

04:23where passengers are also expected to travel?

04:27Are we ensuring that it won't happen

04:29like what happened before when there was a brownout?

04:33Only recently,

04:36the UNIA Infrastructure Corporation and NIC

04:40announced that they already had a discussion.

04:44Not only a discussion,

04:46but they also announced that their assistance

04:49to Meralco will ensure

04:52that there is sufficient supply of electricity

04:56in the airport.

04:58Not only in the signing of the agreement,

05:01but they also did something

05:05so that the New Year's

05:08there will be no electricity in the airport.

05:11The preparation is also the same.

05:13When the Secretary went to CAAP,

05:20so that our air traffic management system

05:23is properly graded,

05:28the latest version was uploaded to CAAP.

05:33So in managing our air traffic,

05:37it's already good.

05:39Okay, just send a message

05:41and a reminder to our passengers

05:44and public utility service operators

05:47this holiday season.

05:50Okay, from DOTR,

05:53again, our private vehicles,

05:56let's just leave them and use public transport.

05:59Then, the usual reminders

06:02of various agencies,

06:04don't bring the whole house

06:07when you are traveling,

06:09travel light,

06:10and if you need to bring a car,

06:13you know those blow baguettes

06:15so that you won't get stuck

06:17while traveling.

06:20We will help you

06:23to prepare for transportation,

06:26expressways, railways,

06:29our rail systems,

06:31to ensure that there are reminders

06:36that our agencies will give

06:38if you have a problem.

06:40Okay, thank you very much for your time,

06:43Executive Assistant to the Secretary

06:45Jonathan Guzmundo

06:46of the Department of Transportation.

06:50Merry Christmas!

06:51Merry Christmas, Sir.
