Transcript
00:00 We will talk about the various issues in traffic with MMD HR person, Atty. Romando Artes. Good morning Atty. Artes.
00:08 Good morning to you, Egan and to all of your followers.
00:12 Okay. Let's start with the connection to e-bike, e-trike, kuliglig and other road use in the national road that you mentioned here in Metro Manila.
00:21 So now, they will just park and tomorrow, they will close and close.
00:28 That's right. To give sufficient information to our countrymen, e-trikes and e-bikes are now prohibited in the areas that are listed in our MFC resolution.
00:45 But we will just park.
00:48 Just park.
00:48 Yes. Tomorrow, we will close.
00:51 Yesterday, you had a lot of meetings.
00:54 Chairman. I have seen some figures, but I have seen some feedback.
01:01 Okay. Do they know that there's such an order or they don't know?
01:07 Actually, they know. It's just that maybe they are afraid of the road and there might be no enforcer.
01:16 But just the same, we just parked and let them go.
01:20 Yes.
01:20 We let them cross the road where they can cross.
01:23 Just a reminder. Tomorrow, we will close.
01:25 Chairman, the 200,000 pesos donation of former local government Chavez-Singson to MMDA, you have received it.
01:36 But as Civil Service Commissioner Aileen Lizada said, it's prohibited and it's not considered a donation.
01:43 Well, the premise is wrong.
01:49 Our agency has income retention because we have two sources of funds.
01:55 One is national, which is included in the GAA.
01:59 The other is local, which is our share in the ERA and other sources, like penalties and donations.
02:07 Our local fund allocates to MMDA and approves it to the Metro Manila Council.
02:18 So it should not go through the GAA.
02:21 Second, she's confusing it because we received it as a reward, not a donation to our agency.
02:30 It cannot go to the employees.
02:34 It will go to the fund of MMDA, local fund in particular.
02:40 We will include it in our programs and the Metro Manila Council will approve it.
02:50 So there's no violation in that.
02:52 But you need to clarify that because it's not good if everyone will receive it.
03:02 You know, it's fun to give donations.
03:04 Well, there's no strings attached. In fact, the Governor paid for the two tickets, which cost P5,000, the penalty.
03:17 He paid for it before he donated.
03:21 We showed the receipt.
03:23 It's bad if we cancel the ticket or give him a special favor that after donating, it can go to the bus carousel.
03:36 There's no such thing.
03:38 In fact, he's calling for not to do that and he promised not to do it again.
03:44 If he violates the traffic law and we catch him, we will still close him and we will not give him a special favor.
03:53 Okay. Day two of the transport strike of Manibel and Ms. Ton. How's our monitoring Chairman?
04:00 Well, there's no disruption in our mass transportation.
04:04 We just learned yesterday that there's an instance where the drivers blocked their vehicles, which caused traffic.
04:18 We have improved that. We have prepositioned tow trucks so that if they repeat that, we will close them and we will pull them if they don't receive.
04:34 Okay. In Eurong, sir, there's an adjusted work schedule of government employees in NCR.
04:38 It's just one hour. How can this help to reduce traffic? Is there a study on that Chairman?
04:45 Yes. In the local government unit, there are almost 120,000 employees.
04:52 Around 22 percent of them have vehicles or 22,000 more or less, around 25,000. Their entry and transaction to the government will be earlier.
05:06 90 plus thousand cannot be stolen by our private sector workers because they will travel earlier and will enter and go home.
05:23 Those are the times when public transportation is still under control. If that's the case, it will be followed by all national government agencies in Metro Manila, around 645,000.
05:42 Thank you very much MNDA Acting Chairman Atty. Romando Artes.
