00:00 Residents are worried about a barangay in Taguig
00:03 due to a wire that is possible to be burned.
00:07 Watch this.
00:09 Due to the thick wire,
00:15 it's like an overpass in Magsaysay Extension
00:18 in New Lower Bicutang, Taguig.
00:20 It's sinking due to the heavy weight
00:22 and the post that is attached to the wire is already breaking.
00:25 The wires are almost touching their houses.
00:28 In Pagkalinawan Street in the same barangay,
00:31 the wires are already going in different directions.
00:34 And even though there's a post to raise the wires,
00:37 it still hits the truck when it passes by.
00:40 The wires are breaking.
00:43 Many have already been cut.
00:46 So the houses are being perished.
00:49 But they are more afraid of fire
00:52 because it sparks the wires.
00:54 Sometimes it even sparks here.
00:57 Fortunately, many people are helping
01:00 to fix the wires so that the fire can be put out.
01:04 When it sparks here,
01:07 it's already crying and the fire is burning the house.
01:11 The barangay said that most of the wires
01:13 are from telecommunications and cable companies.
01:15 Some of them are no longer working,
01:17 but instead of removing them,
01:19 they are just installing new ones.
01:21 That's why they plan to pass an ordinance
01:23 against the new permit for installation
01:25 until the old ones are fixed.
01:28 Most probably, there are deadlines
01:30 that the wires are no longer working.
01:32 It's supposed to be that
01:34 before the telco is installed,
01:36 they should remove them first.
01:37 The Bureau of Fire Protection is also investigating this,
01:40 especially if the fire can spread,
01:42 especially if the cables are exposed.
01:44 It can contribute to the fast spreading
01:47 because probably it also has a conductor
01:50 inside the wires.
01:52 Once the wires are burned,
01:55 it's open for the electricity to spread.
01:59 Because this is not just a problem in Taguig,
02:01 the issue will also be included
02:03 in the next agenda of the Metro Manila Council.
02:05 Under the ordinance passed in San Juan City,
02:07 regulations were passed
02:09 for the cables installed by telcos.
02:12 We talked about this sometimes in MMC
02:15 and the mayors and their representatives
02:19 that in their own lawsuits,
02:22 they should consult with other telcos.
02:25 Meralco is still consulting
02:27 with LGU, telco, and cable companies
02:30 to fix the deadlines
02:32 of the cables installed in their posts.
02:34 We are trying to get permission
02:36 from the telcos in the country,
02:38 but they have no answer.
02:39 For GMA Integrated News,
