00:00The MMDA is now ready for the Heroes Welcome Parade
00:04for the Filipino athletes who will fight in the Paris Olympics.
00:08The floats that will be used in the parade are also ready.
00:12Joshua Garcia is live in the center of the news.
00:20Yes, Aljo, the traffic is still light here on the side of Rojas Boulevard
00:25near Dolomite Beach at the U.S. Embassy
00:28where the Heroes Welcome Parade will take place later at 4 p.m.
00:34Aljo, not less than 300 MMDA personnel are deployed today
00:39for the parade for our athletes who were part of the Paris 2024 Olympics.
00:44Motorcycles, mobile patrol units, road emergency groups, and others will be counted.
00:49One of the things that people are looking forward to
00:51in this parade is our two-time Olympic gold medalist,
00:55Carlos Yulo, along with other athletes.
00:57Meanwhile, Aljo, the floats that will be used for the parade are also ready.
01:01They are now waiting near the Allianz Theater.
01:03The story of the floats that were made
01:05is that they gave so much dedication to the design
01:08that you can't imagine that they were only able to finish in four days.
01:14In order for us to pay tribute to their hard work
01:21and to the winners, especially to Yulo,
01:26they will be able to give good influence to the next generations.
01:32Congratulations to them because they are the ones who saved the Filipinos.
01:41Aljo, here at the place where we are standing,
01:42we can see some tarpaulins.
01:44Aside from congratulating our two-time Olympic gold medalist, Carlos Yulo,
01:49there are also tarpaulins for our Filipino boxers,
01:52Nesty, Petesio, and Ira Villegas.
01:55We can also add that according to the authorities,
01:58like the MMDA,
01:59they said that they are expecting the parade to last 45 minutes to one hour.
02:04If you can see behind me,
02:05the traffic is still a bit loose,
02:07but they expect it to be heavy later.
02:10So, to our motorists,
02:11you can see alternative routes that they passed
02:15on the official Facebook page of the MMDA,
02:18especially those who are traveling northbound,
02:20R10,
02:21and also southbound,
02:22S-Lex,
02:23because there are no road closures.
02:25What they will do here is a stop-and-go scheme.
02:29To our fellow motorists,
02:31stay tuned here at PTD
02:33for the special coverage of the Olympian Songkawi Parade
02:36later.
02:37That's all for the latest news.
02:39Back to you, Aljo.
02:40Thank you very much, Joshua Garcia.
