Transcript
00:00Motorists are only allowed to travel by vehicle for a few days because of the bumper to bumper traffic on the Andaya Highway in Camarinasur.
00:08For an update on the situation there, we will talk to GMA Integrated News stringer Peewee Bacuño.
00:14Peewee, are the vehicles still moving there?
00:16Yes, they are still moving, Raffy.
00:19Right now, there are a lot of vehicles, but it's still very slow at this time.
00:26Is there an improvement? Is there a way to speed up the travel, aside from composing on the road itself?
00:34Yes, Raffy. The police, LTO, and HPG have already helped our countrymen in this traffic area.
00:46They have helped to catch those who are counter-flowing.
00:50It's really hard for the government because of the number of vehicles that are passing by, Raffy.
00:57If the trip is five to six hours, how long is the average duration of those who are stuck there, Peewee?
01:05According to the residents of Lupit, Camasur, the previous hour of the trip to Nagasiti is five to six hours.
01:15However, those who are coming from Bicol and Pisayas, Paraguay and Malaysia,
01:21it's up to three hours of traffic, Raffy.
01:25Is there really no alternative to pass through that part, Peewee?
01:30Yes, Raffy. The problem is that you cannot pass through the Maharlika Highway in Camasur because of the landslides last week.
01:43That's why it's really hard for motorists to go around.
01:48Peewee, what else is causing trouble in the traffic on the Andaya Highway, aside from the roads?
01:55Sometimes when there's traffic like that, there are those who are counter-flowing, right?
02:01That's right, Raffy. One of the problems here are those who are counter-flowing and the road widening and bridge projects of the DPWH.
02:13That's what's causing trouble for the people.
02:16So there's no choice, Peewee, but to put up with the traffic on the Andaya Highway, Peewee.
02:25That's right, Raffy. That's why I called on our countrymen to be patient.
02:31We need to be twice as patient when it comes to passing through the highway to Bicol.
02:38Thank you very much, GMA Integrated News Stringer Peewee Bacuño.
