00:00It is possible that their mass transport project will be delayed due to a budget cut or due to the issue of the right-of-way.

00:07According to the new Transportation Secretary, he also had some issues when commuting earlier using the EDSA busway.

00:14Joseph Moro was caught.

00:19Like what he promised, when he was appointed, the new Transportation Secretary, Vince Dizon, commuted.

00:25And when he rode the EDSA bus carousel from Ortigas to the Monument in Caloocan,

00:29he caught the broken elevators, the obstructed railings at the bottom of the passengers, and the broken timetables.

00:36He did this after the turnover ceremony at the DOTR earlier this morning.

00:42In a large commuter project led by Transportation Secretary Vince Dizon to former Secretary Jaime Bautista during the turnover earlier,

00:51the majority should finish the North-South Commuter Railway or NSCR that runs from Laguna to Pampanga,

00:57and the Metro Manila Subway project from Valenzuela to Naia and Bicutan.

01:02According to the DOTR, less than 30 percent of the structure is being built in the NSCR, while less than 20 percent is in the Metro Manila Subway.

01:11The partial operability of the Metro Manila Subway and the North-South Commuter Railway project in 2028 should be the target,

01:20but it seems that it is being put on hold due to some problems in the budget and legal issues.

01:26According to the DOTR, up to 80 percent of the funding for foreign assistance projects in the DOTR in the 2025 budget should be cut.

01:35Losing 80 percent of your budget is huge.

01:41It's a big problem. But as you said, there are programs, so we're going to have to work with the Department of Finance and the Department of Budget

01:51to see how we can save for 2025.

01:57The purchase of right-of-way or lands that will pass through the NSCR is also being discouraged by the Department of Justice.

02:05According to the Department of Justice, the Republic Act 10725 does not allow the payment to informal settlers who are destroying houses.

02:14The case is the condition of the loans for the project that should be paid to the people living in the area of the project,

02:21whether they are informal settlers or not.

02:23I already talked to DOJ undersecretary a few weeks ago and they said we can get exemptions on this.

02:33We will do everything we can to speed things up because that's the order of the President.

02:37The operation of MRT-3 and EDSA busways is also planned to be private next year.

02:42As for the continued POV modernization, it should be noted that about 20 percent of the jeepney drivers and operators did not participate in the program.

02:52Less than 20 percent. We're talking about the lives of the people there.

02:57Not because it's less than 20 percent, we will not listen to them.

03:03According to Dizon, there should be no cashless transactions on expressways.

03:07But SMC Infrastructure said that there should be a cashless and contactless toll collection for the target of the Transportation Department

03:15that the system of two toll operators should be unified.

03:19Does cashless mean zero?

03:22Does cashless mean zero?
