00:00In other news, the megacity's working sector or labor force has a special treat awaiting them on works holiday tomorrow.
00:07Four days in a row of free train rides on the LRT and MRT railway lines.
00:13Roughly 3 million are expected to hop on the trains tomorrow and up to Sunday free of charge to wherever they wish to go on unlimited trips.
00:21Just a token of appreciation from government which is working over 80 million pesos for the freebie as our Isaiah Mirafuentes reports.
00:32For a working girl like Itasha, government's labor day weekend of free rides on the LRT and MRT lines is such a huge relief.
00:40As a result, she expects a significant amount of savings which she can use for food or other necessities.
00:46Kung sakaling short ka po sa budget, hindi mo expected na biglang nagkulang yung pamasahe mo, sobrang okay din yan.
00:57Ali, who takes the MRT3 everyday to work, shares the same feeling of relief.
01:01She expressed gratitude for the free fare, saying it greatly helps with her daily expenses.
01:06Sobrang makakatulong po siya sa akin since ang laki rin po ng nagagastos kapag nag-MRT ako balikan everyday.
01:14Savings, that's the reaction of commuters who enjoyed free rides on MRT3, LRT1, and LRT2.
01:21It is estimated that between 3.2 to 3.5 million passengers are expected to benefit from the extended labor day weekend of free rides on the LRT and MRT lines.
01:30This was announced by Transportation Secretary Vince Dizon as part of the government's tribute to all Filipino workers during the Labor Day celebration.
01:38Not just one, not just two, but four days in a row of free rides on both LRT lines and MRT3.
01:46And it's not limited to 13 hours.
01:48The free ride is available all day long.
01:51Today, Department of Transportation Secretary Vince Dizon personally visited the LRT2 recto station to monitor the implementation of the free ride program.
02:00To avail of the free rides, commuters must go to the ticket booth of the station and inform them of their destination.
02:06At MRT3, an average of 375,475 passengers ride daily.
02:12Meanwhile, Malacanang, the Swiss claims the four-day free ride program is politically motivated due to the upcoming elections.
02:18Huwag naman po natin bigyan na mali siya. Hayaan po natin makinabang yung taong bayan sa mga maaaring itulong ng gobyerno sa kanila.
02:25And for Secretary Vince Dizon, the four-day free ride is met as a token of appreciation for Filipino workers.
02:32Uulitin natin ang sinabi ng ating mahal na Pangulo kagabi na ito'y talang makabuluhan at malalim na pasasalamat sa ating mga manggagawa.
02:43Alam nyo, hindi madaling maging manggagawa ngayon. Hirap ang buhay, yung pagkukumute, hirap din.
02:52So sabi ng Pangulo natin, dapat bigyan natin ng konting extra naman ang mga kababayan natin.
02:58Lalo-lalo na yung mga manggagawa natin.
03:00The government will pick up the tab for the four-day free ride program.
03:04The estimated cost to government, 80 million pesos.
03:07From North Avenue Station to Taft Avenue, the fare is 28 pesos.
03:12So a round-trip fare would cost 56 pesos.
03:16Four days of free round-trip ride saves 224 pesos in train fare.
