00:00The Manibela Group will conduct a large-scale stopover today as part of the PUV Modernization Program of the government.
00:08Passengers will not feel the transport strike because of the continuous travel of jeepneys.
00:14Ryan Lesigas and Etalie, live.
00:20Audrey, at this time, the program of the Manibela Group has started here in the Welcome Rotunda.
00:26You can see here behind me, the reason is to reduce the traffic because only two lanes are used by motorists.
00:37Before the sun rose earlier, the people of Quezon City Police District or QCPD,
00:43who are members of the large-scale stopover of the Manibela Group,
00:47are already in line to ensure that the protest will be peaceful.
00:52Aside from the police, Audrey, the people of the Traffic and Transport Management Department of Quezon City will also be in line early.
00:58At 6 a.m. earlier, the Manibela Group gathered in the Welcome Rotunda.
01:03At 8 a.m. this morning, they will start marching towards Mindola where they will conduct their program.
01:10Audrey, this is still part of their protest in the PUV Modernization Program of the government.
01:16You can expect that we will fight our fellowmen, we will fight our fellowmen, we will defend our fellowmen.
01:28Audrey, even though it is said that the transport system will be paralyzed this morning,
01:32not many passengers are feeling it.
01:35Audrey, their jeep is continuously traveling and is not alone in the transport strike.
01:40Some passengers were told to enter earlier so that their journey will not be affected.
01:48It is very pernicious because those who enter early are always late.
01:54How many minutes have you been waiting?
01:56Around 15 minutes.
02:00Audrey, the DOTR said that they will not alarm the new stopover that the Manibela Group will conduct.
02:07DOTR Secretary Jaime Bautista said that the public is used to the left and right side of the transport strike
02:13and even so, it does not affect the riding public.
02:17This means that the PUVMP is effective because most of the drivers and operators are now alone in the program.
02:24It is enough, Audrey, for 83% to end the program.
02:29We will start to track down those who have no franchise, those who are expiring.
02:39Most of them are old vehicles.
02:43That is why our supporters, we met with them last week and they really showed their support.
02:52Audrey, according to the monitoring of the MMDA, there are still no stranded passengers.
03:04At the same time, the Manibela Group said that there are around 5,000 stranded passengers.
03:12Even so, the MMDA is preparing vehicles that can be deployed if necessary.
03:19And other vehicles that can be deployed by other local governments.
03:24Audrey.
03:25Thank you very much, Ryan Leziguez.
