MMDA, nagsagawa ng clearing operations sa Mabuhay lanes sa Q.C. sa harap ng pagsasara ng southbound lane ng EDSA-Kamuning Flyover

Transcript

00:00 MMDA has conducted a clearing operation in Mamuhay Lane in Quezon City

00:04 to ensure that the traffic flow is clean and that the southbound lane of EDSA Kamining Flyover is closed.

00:11 Raya Nesig is at the center of the news.

00:13 Because this can't be carried.

00:19 I spent money in Mumbai and now it's just like that.

00:24 I can't sell because I was in Gasaan yesterday.

00:28 Elizabeth almost cried after the MMDA officers pulled her car earlier this morning.

00:36 Because this is next to the road in Mamuhay Lane in the south triangle.

00:41 She says she's earning from selling her two grandchildren.

00:46 That's why she has a big problem now.

00:48 How will she earn? She's the only one who's looking for a job in the family.

00:53 I bought it in Jansia just to work in Mumbai.

00:57 You know us, we're from Mumbai.

00:59 I don't have any income. My husband is old.

01:02 Some vendors and motorists also complained that the clearing team passed by this motorist.

01:08 The MMDA also threw away the violation ticket.

01:12 We will still violate her.

01:14 If she renewed her car and didn't fill it, she won't get a clearance and she won't get her license.

01:20 The reason and the talk of the people who witnessed this didn't go unnoticed by the MMDA.

01:25 The roads are being cleaned up.

01:29 An alternative route is being used to clear the traffic in Edsa.

01:34 The Mamuhay Lane in the south triangle is an alternate route to close the flyover.

01:41 So that there should be no one who would be in the way of the traffic here.

01:46 The MMDA also reported earlier that some residents are stealing chickens' feces on the side of the road.

01:54 The MMDA is adamant that the vendors on the sidewalk should be informed that they cannot sell their goods on the sidewalk

02:03 because it is dangerous to the traffic.

02:05 This is the second time that the MMDA has stopped Panay Avenue and Sgt. Esguerra Street.

02:12 But the people who are stopping and selling on the sidewalk are like pigeons that are about to fly.

02:19 The road was built through the vehicle, the sidewalk was built through the people.

02:24 Just like what we saw earlier, the illegal vendors are angry because the vehicle is not safe.

02:30 But the sidewalk was not built for selling. The sidewalk was built for the people to pass.

02:36 The MMDA insisted that they are preparing a clearing operation every day in the area

02:41 so that the road will be safe for the traffic.
