00:00Over 1,100 vehicles failed roadworthiness inspection po 671 drivers suspended after testing positive for drugs.
00:11What directive has the President issued to the DODR o dun po sa special task force na binoo to review road safety policies and enforcement po?
00:20Yes. There is this directive coming from the President that there should be more protection to the commuters, to everyone, from abusive drivers.
00:33Taman-tama lamang po dahil ito mismo ang direktiba ng Pangulo, ang utos ng Pangulo.
00:39At ito naman po ay sinasagawa ng DOTR sa pamamagitan po at pamumuno ng Secretary Vince Dizon.
00:45Kanya po, lumalabas po dito na yung na-revoke po ng license po ng ELS, bus company, at marami pong mga drivers na nasuspendi po.
01:01671 drivers na suspend po dahil sa nagpositibo po sa paggamit ng illegal na droga.
01:08So ito po ay napakaganda po dahil pinapakita po natin sa taong bayan na sila ay dapat na safe sa daan.
01:16At hindi po dapat abusuhin ang anumang binigay na privilegio na ikaw ay maging driver sa kalye.
01:24Ma'am, follow up po.
01:26How does the palace view the proposed anti-comode bill which aims to prevent the detention of motorists involved in accidents na hindi naman po sila yung may kasalanan po?
01:34Dapat lamang po, kung hindi naman po makikita na may kasalanan, kapag ka po nagkaroon ng vehicular accident, makikita naman pa minsan-minsan ang mga investigador kung sino ba yung unang nagkamali.
01:50Siguro kapag ang investigador po ay nakita na ang isa ay siyang nabiktima o yung sasakyan, ang mismong na danyusan, hindi po naman dapat na makulong ang mismong nabiktima.
02:01Pero mga pagkakataon po na sa pag-iimbestiga, hindi naman agad nakikita kung sino yung may sala.
02:08So, karapatan din po ng mga otoridad natin na huwag muna palayain o magkaroon ng maagarang investigasyon para po kasama na rin po ito sa due process.
02:31So, karapatan din po ito sa pag-iimbestiga, hindi po ito sa pag-iimbestiga.
