00:00In other news, the reversal of the Edsa bus carousel is one of the solutions that the transportation department is thinking of
00:07for the problem of passengers who are still entering the Edsa busway.
00:11Senator Sherwin Gatchalian commented that his brother is the owner of the luxury vehicle
00:18that was seen while using the number 7 license plate.
00:21Joseph Moro is a witness.
00:23The driver of the controversial white luxury vehicle explained to the land transportation office yesterday
00:33that he is sick and is in a hurry.
00:35He entered the northbound lane of the Edsa busway last Sunday night.
00:39But the CCTV footage of the MMDA is not heavy.
00:42The traffic at that time was outside the busway.
00:45The driver was fined P5,000.
00:48According to Transportation Secretary Jaime Bautista,
00:51they are investigating the incident to find out if there is any additional compensation.
00:55The SUV used the protocol plate 7 for the senator.
00:59After the driver was fined, the car of the owner of the Orient Pacific Corporation,
01:04the company led by Kenneth Tang Gatchalian, ran a congress in Valenzuela.
01:08He is a brother of Senator Sherwin Gatchalian.
01:11Is he your brother or brother of the car?
01:14The documents are already in the LTO.
01:17Let's just leave it in the LTO.
01:19Is the plate possible for you?
01:21But you just used it.
01:23Let's just leave it in the LTO, guys.
01:25In a statement, Gatchalian said that he did not consent to the traffic violation of the Orient Pacific Corporation.
01:32Senator Rafi Tulfo, chairman of the Senate Committee on Public Services,
01:35plans to call for a hearing on the issue.
01:38The DOTR is studying some changes in the Edsa busway,
01:42and how this can be a hindrance for those who want to escape from the traffic in Edsa.
01:46This is one of the ways to reduce the number of protocol plates being issued to government officials.
01:51Two protocol plates are being issued to each senator.
01:54The plate is to be used only by the official.
02:02That is the decision of the SP. I think the SP will know the best.
02:07The Department of Transportation has also thought of reversing the Edsa bus carousel.
02:13For example, instead of the Edsa bus carousel,
02:16it will be converted into a northbound carousel.
02:21This is to prevent the carousel from being damaged.
02:25The busway will be exclusive for the buses, for public utility vehicles.
02:32The bus door will be on the right side.
02:35There will also be safety considerations.
02:40It will be easier.
02:41Why?
02:42So that people won't have a hard time getting in.
02:44If it is reversed, the passengers won't have a hard time getting in.
02:49They are talking to the companies that operate the busway,
02:52and it is possible for them to make a decision on whether to continue it before the year ends.
02:56For GMA Integrated News, I am Joseph Morong, your witness.
