00:00Here is the PTV news for now.
00:08Metropolitan Manila Development Authority explained that a ramp has gone viral for PWDs at the newly opened station of EDSA Busway.
00:17According to MMDA, there is a heightened height restriction of MRT-3.
00:22The reason is to make it impossible for the elevated footbridge to be placed evenly.
00:27The agency admitted that the design is not perfect.
00:30However, this is a big help for senior citizens, volunteers, and other PWDs.
00:36Now, MMDA will really take care of the PWDs who are having a hard time climbing the ramp.
00:44However, the ramp went viral on social media because it is not PWD-friendly.

00:59has prepared the documents because the online application for the scholarship program is about to start.
