00:00While the F. Manalo Bridge is closed in Pasig, let's take a look at the situation of the motorists and commuters there in the first live news of James Agustin.
00:10James!
00:14Gang, good morning. The closure of the F. Manalo Bridge has a great effect not only on the motorists who pass through here,
00:21but also on the pedestrians because it will be under the rehabilitation of DPWH from today.
00:30There are no more motorists who are allowed to pass through the F. Manalo Bridge in Pasig.
00:34It is under the rehabilitation of DPWH from today.
00:38This is also the daily route of the motorcycle taxi rider, Philip.
00:42He just returned and took a different route.
00:44Instead of bringing us closer, for example, to the platform, we will go around the C5
00:50so that we can go to the platform.
00:52The road here is faster.
00:55Compared to here, especially in the afternoon, the C5 is traffic.
00:59The road here is easier.
01:01Rodolfo, who is from Antipolo, will enter his work.
01:05He said that he will enter earlier so that he won't be late.
01:08We have to go far to go around.
01:10That's why sometimes we have to go to work.
01:12Sometimes we are late because there is traffic in Irodreguis.
01:17Aside from the motorists, pedestrians are also prohibited.
01:20But earlier, some of them were caught.
01:23Lemuel, a call center agent, was arrested because he was going home from Antipolo.
01:28It has a big effect because it is far to go around if you are walking from Circulo Verde.
01:34It is really hard. It takes about 30 minutes to eat.
01:38Even though the affected tricycle is passing through,
01:41they were able to save up to half of their income.
01:44We only earn almost P500, P400.
01:47What about tomorrow? We won't be able to go out.
01:51That's why it has a big effect.
01:53If we go to the boundary, what will happen to the others?
01:57It will be really pitiful.
01:59Now, they gave us a shuttle service.
02:04But we are still waiting for the shuttle service to continue.
02:08Pedestrians will walk less if they go to the other side.
02:12Motorists are being told to plan their trip well to avoid accidents.
02:17The alternative route is to Marcos Highway or Ortigas Avenue.
02:21The Circulo Verde Bridge can also be used from 1 am to midnight,
02:26except for trucks, jeeps, motorcycles, and UV Express.
02:34As of now, the authorities cannot say when this F. Manalo Bridge will be closed.
02:41Earlier, pedestrians were allowed to cross the bridge.
02:45Now, there are no more pedestrians because the authorities are only working on the bridge.
02:50They will be working on it this morning.
02:52As we can see, it is inside.
02:54Many of the motorists that I have seen in this area,
02:57in the middle of the bridge, have already turned around
03:00because they don't know that the bridge has been closed since this morning.
03:03We cannot say when it will be closed.
03:05That is the first news.
03:07From Pasig, I am James Agustin for GEMA Integrated News.
03:10Stay tuned for more news.
