00:00On this payday friday, there's a party and a christmas rush tonight.
00:06It's hard for commuters and motorists to go home.
00:09The latest on the situation of the road, let's find out in the live coverage of Jamie Sanz.
00:14Jamie?
00:19Pia, it's not Christmas yet, you can see the lights behind me.
00:23The traffic lights are still on until now.
00:27It's past 10pm, the traffic is heavy.
00:31It's payday friday.
00:37Bumper to bumper traffic, there's no more than 2 weeks before Christmas.
00:41There's a lot of people rushing to buy gifts.
00:45Christmas parties are also left and right.
00:47That's why at EDSA Rush Hour earlier, the cars at Quezon Avenue Flyover were almost full stop.
00:54The cars are running slower in front of the mall along EDSA.
00:59At EDSA Muñoz, we saw a few commuters driving first.
01:04Sally was even rejected by a taxi.
01:07It's been 30 minutes already.
01:08They're not going in there.
01:10Where are you going?
01:11To Bagong Barrio.
01:13I don't want to.
01:14Just there, before the monument.
01:16I don't want to.
01:17That's the second one, right?
01:18Sally met Vanessa, who has a child with her, and she was also rejected by a taxi a few times.
01:23The two agreed to share a taxi because they're both going to Bagong Barrio, Caloocan.
01:30But because it's been an hour and there's still no traffic, they decided to take a bus carousel.
01:35At Commonwealth Avenue going to Litex, the cars are still bumper to bumper until 9pm.
01:42We're almost going to the same place.
01:44You were also rejected.
01:46We're going to the same place because it's the same place.
01:49But there's still no one who doesn't want to go.
01:51They don't want to.
01:52According to the MMDA, there are already 470,000 cars running at EDSA from November to December
01:59compared to 350,000 to 370,000 last October.
02:05To reduce traffic, operations against illegal parking continue.
02:10At EDSA on Congressional Avenue, two jeepneys were arrested by the MMDA Strike Force
02:16for illegal parking while waiting for passengers.
02:19Those who were parking their motorcycles on Congressional Avenue were also arrested.
02:24This SUV was parked in front of BJMP's school,
02:29but it was towed because it was parked on the sidewalk and the driver left it.
02:34In total, 16 four-wheel vehicles and 3 motorcycles were towed
02:39while 78 vehicles were towed by the MMDA.
02:43The result of illegal parking obstructions is huge,
02:48especially this coming Christmas season or our rush or peak hours.
02:58P.S. At this time, as you can see behind me, the traffic is still heavy.
03:04There's an embudo here at EDSA North.
03:07The vehicles coming from Mindanao Avenue will exit here at EDSA.
03:12And this traffic that you can see behind me,
03:15it will spread when it comes to Maymunyos.
03:18And again, the traffic will be heavy until it goes straight to Monumento.
03:22And live from Quezon City, for GMA Integrated News,
03:26Jaime Santos is your witness.
