00:00Sir, can we pass through? For us, it's unfair that those who took the unity walk were allowed to reach Mindola.
00:17This part of the Welcome Rotunda in Quezon City was a parking lot.
00:23This was done at the same time as the protest by the Manibela group.
00:27At the start of their march, two more lines were used by the motorists.
00:32But the situation changed after some jeeps joined the protest.
00:37The reason was to pass through and there were no vehicles to pass through.
00:41According to the MMDA, the traffic earlier reached five kilometers.
00:46Before the sun rose earlier, the people of Quezon City Police District or QCPD were already in place and in full force.
00:53They were reminded of the wide-open passage.
00:56It is far enough that it will be safe to protest.
01:01Despite the hot weather and situation, maximum tolerance was given by the police.
01:07At six o'clock earlier, the Manibela group gathered in the Welcome Rotunda.
01:13At eight o'clock earlier, their program started.
01:16Their target was Mindola, but they were not able to form.
01:20They were blocked by police barricades and a number of fire engines.
01:26This is the situation in this part of the Welcome Rotunda.
01:30At the same time, the Manibela group is protesting.
01:34Earlier, there were two lines for the motorists to pass through.
01:37Now, there are four lines for the motorists to pass through.
01:45They were not allowed to go straight to Mindola because they were blocked by the police in that part.
01:53This is still part of their PUV Modernization Program of the government.
01:58You can expect that we will fight our fellowmen.
02:02We will fight our fellowmen.
02:04We will defend our fellowmen.
02:06Their passengers did not feel the tightness of the passage.
02:10The journey of their jeep, which was not alone in the transport strike, was continuous.
02:15Their passengers were told to enter earlier so that their journey would not be affected.
02:22It is very pervasive.
02:24You cannot enter early because you are always late.
02:29How many minutes have you been waiting?
02:31About 15 minutes.
02:33The DOTR said that they were not alarmed by the new passage blocked by the Manibela group.
02:40DOTR Secretary Jaime Bautista said that the public is already used to the left and right side of the transport strike.
02:47Even so, it did not affect the riding public that much.
02:52This means that the PUVMP is effective because most of the drivers and operators are now one with the program.
03:0183% is enough for the program to be extended.
03:05We will start to track down those who have no franchise, those who have expired their franchise.
03:15Most of them are old vehicles.
03:18That is why our supporters, we met with them last week and they really showed their support.
