00:00This payday Friday, traffic in Metro Manila became heavy due to Christmas shopping and parties.
00:07From Quezon City, my live report is Jamie Santos.
00:10Jamie.
00:17Tom, the roads are getting narrow again.
00:20But that's because of the increase of vehicles in the middle of Rush Hour.
00:25In EDSA, earlier in Rush Hour, vehicles in Quezon Avenue were almost full stop.
00:31The traffic in front of the malls was heavy.
00:34In EDSA Muñoz, we saw several commuters driving a jeepney first.
00:39Some commuters were rejected by a taxi, so EDSA just used a bus carousel.
00:45According to the MMDA, there were 470,000 vehicles crossing EDSA
00:51from November to December, compared to 350,000 to 370,000 in October.
00:59In Commonwealth Avenue towards Litex, there were bumper-to-bumper vehicles until 9 p.m.
01:06In order to reduce the traffic, operations against illegal parking continued.
01:11In EDSA Pakananang Congressional Avenue, the MMDA Strike Force caught two jeepneys waiting for passengers.
01:19Passengers were also stopped in the construction of motorcycles in Congressional Avenue.
01:24A SUV was parked on the sidewalk and the driver left it.
01:30In total, there were 16 four-wheel vehicles, 3 motorcycles, and 78 vehicles were stopped by the MMDA.
01:40Tom, we are here in the northbound lane of EDSA North.
01:44At this time, as you can see, there are still bumper-to-bumper vehicles.
01:49There are also vehicles coming and going from Mindanao Avenue to EDSA North.
01:56The traffic continues until Magmunyos and Luluwag.
02:01Again, the vehicles will be slow-moving until Balintawak and Monumento.
02:08That is the latest from EDSA.
02:10Back to you, Atom.
02:11Thank you very much, Jamie Santos.
02:15Don't miss the latest updates.
