00:00We will talk to MMDA General Manager Procopio Lipana. Good morning and welcome to Balitang Hali.
00:10Good morning to you as well. I hope you are well.
00:14Based on your monitoring, what are the reasons for the road accidents involving trucks?
00:21At a glance, what we can see is that the friendly might not be able to handle the heavy load
00:26or they might not be able to sleep or what.
00:32But there is a possibility that there is a failure of their brake.
00:37Those are the possibilities that we can see.
00:42We will do an investigation on the PNP so that we can find out the real reasons based on the results of their investigation.
00:51If this is what you can see, the problem is maintenance, right?
00:54Aside from the driver and passenger, shouldn't there be more responsibility?
00:59Because the trucks are talking about maintenance.
01:01Usually, these are fleets, right?
01:04There is a jurisdiction and they are doing the special operations of the LTO.
01:10For the inspection, will you continue this?
01:13Where will you do the surprise inspection for the trucks?
01:17We will coordinate with the LTO.
01:21So the LTO will be involved in this project?
01:25Yes, and we will have assistance on Thursday.
01:32We will invite truckers associations and different heading apps where they are involved.
01:43We will also have assistance from the PNP, SPD and LTO so that we can see the proper investigation.
01:53What are the real reasons for the following accidents, although we have assumptions.
01:58But it would be better if we can see the results of the PNP's investigation
02:03so that we can find out the real reasons for the following accidents.
02:10Let's wait for that report on Thursday.
02:12We will go to the traffic here in Metro Manila.
02:15They are still hoping that the traffic will be heavier.
02:17The provincial buses will be allowed to travel to EDSA this holiday season.
02:22What is the MMDA doing to make the traffic lighter?
02:27Since November 18, we have assigned 1,182 traffic enforcers to the chiefs of EDSA here in Metro Manila.
02:39And we have extended their duty up to 12 midnight.
02:44We will also continue our cleaning operations to the main thoroughfares,
02:49particularly to our residents.
02:51Okay. Thank you very much for your time this afternoon.
02:56Thank you, sir.
