00:00Aside from the cold breeze and decorations,

00:04the heavy traffic is also a sign of the upcoming Christmas.

00:08MMDA has a plan regarding this.

00:10Live from Cape City with Street Hear It,

00:12this is Bam Alegre.

00:15Bam?

00:20Good morning.

00:21Burmans are hoping that the traffic will get worse.

00:24Is there a solution for this?

00:25That's what we'll find out here on Street Hear It.

00:31The sun hasn't set yet,

00:32but this is the build-up of cars

00:34on the outskirts of Edsa and Taft Avenue.

00:36There are a lot of cars in the stoplight,

00:38jeepneys waiting for passengers on the benches,

00:41and a lot of commuters.

00:42The morning rush hour hasn't started yet.

00:45What if the Christmas rush is already here?

00:47According to MMDA,

00:48the average volume of cars in Edsa has already increased.

00:51Last month, in September,

00:53it was already 421,000.

00:55That's only 400,000 in August.

00:57There are already a lot of motorists here in Edsa,

01:00Corner Rojas Boulevard.

01:01Like the driver, Joel Raposas,

01:03who is affected by the effects of this on his trip.

01:06Just hold on.

01:07Just hold on.

01:08The driver, Bart Dahan, is also affected.

01:11Even though he's riding a motorcycle,

01:13he can't escape the heavy traffic.

01:15There's a lot of traffic.

01:17Not a lot, but there's a lot.

01:20It affects our passengers.

01:23The traffic is increasing.

01:26One of the MMDA's solutions

01:29is to adjust the mall hours in Metro Manila.

01:31The malls are allowed here,

01:33so from November 18 to December 25,

01:35they open at 11 a.m. instead of 10 a.m.

01:38They will still decide the closing time.

01:41Aside from that,

01:42the streets in Metro Manila will also be closed

01:45from 12 a.m. on November 18

01:47until 12 a.m. on December 25.

01:49This includes road reblocking,

01:51pipelining, road upgrading, and more.

01:53The government's flagship projects are not included.

01:56They will include DPWH projects

01:58and emergency leak repairs.

02:00In the middle of the adjustments

02:02for the people of Carmageddon,

02:03if it's a holiday,

02:04some commuters ask

02:05why there's not a lot of traffic.

02:08It's because there are a lot of cars in the Philippines.

02:11It won't improve even if the mall hours change.

02:13Especially if it's a rush hour,

02:15it's really hard to ride.

02:16You can ride for 2-3 hours in a row here.

02:24Ian here in Edsa,

02:26Corner House Boulevard.

02:27Don't get me wrong,

02:28it's still light to moderate traffic.

02:31This is Street Hilip,

02:32Bamalagre, for GMA Integrated News.
