00:00Before the extensive rehabilitation in EDSA starts,

00:03some of our countrymen are asking for persons with disability or PWD.

00:08They hope that their condition will be better

00:11in arranging the benches and footbridge in EDSA.

00:14First news, Oscar Oida.

00:20Every time EDSA uses the busway station in Camuning,

00:23the 61-year-old PWD, Mang Romel, is having a hard time.

00:28Because the benches and footbridge are narrow,

00:31it looks like it's just a meme.

00:33Because it's narrow, it's tight,

00:37it's like that.

00:38It's just made so that our BP344 can just follow.

00:43Along with some PWD members and some groups,

00:46Mang Romel also tested the sidewalks in the area

00:49towards the busway

00:51to show what their countrymen are going through.

00:55Our countrymen should be able to see this,

01:00like the ramps,

01:04especially when going up to the busway

01:08or to our carousel.

01:11Safety comes first.

01:14It's hard for them to go up to the footbridge without an elevator.

01:19It's good that he was able to go up.

01:21Mang Romel tried, but he couldn't do it.

01:26Most of the time, he relies on his fellow countrymen.

01:30When he sees that I can't go up,

01:33he helps me.

01:35But it's scary.

01:36He should know.

01:38He should know how to handle a wheelchair user.

01:42He should know how to handle a wheelchair user.

01:46I hope that these overpasses have elevators

01:51so that when we go up there,

01:54there will be a walk-out so that we won't have a hard time with PWD.

01:58They asked for a new group,

02:00Partnership for Inclusion, Accessibility, and Safety in EDSA or PIACE.

02:05Because EDSA will be rehabbed,

02:09we will be able to consult with them.

02:14When we asked for permission,

02:16no transportation official was available to face us.

02:19But this past day,

02:21Transportation Secretary Vince Dizon

02:24was able to find those who didn't use the elevator on the busway.

02:28He said,

02:29the carousel will be investigated privately

02:32so that the operation will be proper.

02:34This is the first news.

02:36This is Oscar Oida for GMA Integrated News.
