00:00After the heavy traffic on some streets of Commonwealth Avenue was disrupted,
00:05the authorities immediately responded with the help of their forces.
00:10The update was brought to you by Lulisa Elizabeth Arispe Live.
00:17Now, the affected area of Commonwealth Avenue has been disrupted since this morning
00:25due to the ongoing marches of some rallyists and the passage of vehicles
00:30for the State of the Nation Address of President Ferdinand R. Marcos, Jr. later today.
00:37Past 5 a.m. earlier this morning,
00:39there were fast and no heavy traffic on the Commonwealth Avenue.
00:44Even though it was raining heavily, the traffic was still running.
00:48But when the area reached 7 a.m. this morning,
00:52the traffic on Old Balara Street became heavy
00:55due to the rallyists who carried two to three lines of the Commonwealth Avenue
01:02and carried out their protest.
01:04But due to the help of the police, Metro Manila Development Authority,
01:08and traffic personnel of the LGU, the passage of vehicles was immediately repaired.
01:13Aside from Commonwealth Avenue, another road in Quezon City
01:17was hit by traffic this morning, and this is Payatas Road.
01:21In preparation for the SONA, a truck hit three posts,
01:26which is why there was heavy traffic here.
01:29It was also repaired immediately,
01:31and the posts fell this morning and the road was not closed.
01:36The only problem is that there are still some places in Payatas
01:40that lost their internet connection.
01:43Aside from the places we mentioned,
01:46we have not seen heavy traffic today.
01:49But because this afternoon, VIPs are expected to arrive in the country,
01:54other vehicles are still being repaired to avoid some roads on Commonwealth Avenue.
01:59In the alternative route issued by QC-LGU,
02:03for those coming from QC Circle to Northbound or Fairview,
02:08they can turn around and pass North Avenue,
02:11go straight to Mindanao Avenue, and turn around to Quirino Highway.
02:15For those going from Southbound or Fairview to QC Circle,
02:19they can also pass through both roads.
02:21For those coming from C5 Road to the trucks,
02:26they can pass through Catipunan Avenue,
02:28go up to Luzon Flyover, and go out to Congressional Avenue.
02:33And for light vehicles, they can pass through Maguiting Street,
02:37Mayaman Street, and Calayaan Avenue.
02:40The rerouting plan was also issued
02:42for the Commonwealth and IBP Roads to Marikina and San Mateo.
02:48For those coming from Bagong Silangan to the Commonwealth,
02:50and for those coming from Bagong Silangan to Doña Carmen,
02:54there was also an alternative route for Marikina to San Mateo, Rizal.
03:02Now, for those VIPs who really need to pass,
03:05they can go to Batasang Pambansa.
03:07A zipper lane has been opened from Bukana to Commonwealth Avenue,
03:11from Quezon City Circle, straight to Batasan.
03:15Not only in the Commonwealth, security is tight,
03:18and traffic is being monitored.
03:20Now, even in the boundaries of Quezon City,
03:24especially in Batasan-San Mateo Road and Marikina-San Mateo Boundary.
03:28In fact, at the checkpoint of San Mateo and Marikina earlier,
03:33the Land Transportation Office was able to see a sample.
03:38She has a helmet, ma'am.
03:40But we have to wear helmets, ma'am, because it's tight.
03:43I have a drum, ma'am.
03:45You don't know that there's a checkpoint here?
03:47No, ma'am.
03:48But do you always pass by?
03:50Yes, ma'am. I'm from Montalban, ma'am.
03:52In our house, there's no water in our house,
03:55so we need a drum to supply water.
03:59So, you were really tempted?
04:01We were really tempted, ma'am.
04:02Since now, we are deployed here,
04:05at least to minimize the accidents,
04:07and at the same time, our road users will be safe on the road.
04:14Now, at this time, as you can see on my left,
04:18the traffic is still continuous.
04:21There's no heavy traffic yet.
04:22We still don't see any traffic.
04:24But earlier, because there's a zipper lane on the southbound of Commonwealth Avenue,
04:29or on the other side of the line where I'm standing,
04:31there's a part of the build-up here in front of St. Paris Church
04:35when there's someone passing through the zipper lane
04:37and entering Batasan Road.
04:40But when it's time for the VIPs to pass through and enter IBP Road,
04:45the roads of the vehicles will improve
04:49and there will be less traffic.
04:51The Quezon City LGU and the Metro Manila Development Authority
04:57said that they will continue to monitor.
05:00The zipper lane is open until later
05:03for those who will pass through Batasan Road
05:06to reach the State of the Nation address of President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr. Nayomi.
05:10Thank you very much, Louisa Arispe.
