00:00Dear viewers, let's be careful while riding the escalator.
00:03It's been a while since the escalator in Taft Avenue Station of the MRT-3 became a trend.
00:12The escalator suddenly went up.
00:15The main road leading to the escalator was cut off.
00:18According to the DOT-R, 10 passengers were injured.
00:22Oh no, how can we be safe while riding the escalator?
00:25Look at me, I'm really scared.
00:28No, and the chances that there will be casualties after what happened is high.
00:34Especially, it's a mechanic, something that is operated by a machine.
00:39We don't know when it will malfunction.
00:41Like what happened just now, people got stuck.
00:44And imagine, this is, I think, rush hour.
00:47What time was it on March 8?
00:49It was full.
00:50The time stamp on the video is around 10am.
00:54So, there were a lot of commuters.
00:57I'm one of those who ride the MRT.
01:00I know how many people are there.
01:02And if you ride the escalator at the same time, there are chances that it will be heavy.
01:09This is what happened.
01:10Rare cases of malfunctioning of our escalator.
01:15Now, let's ask Suzy the tips on what to do to be safe while riding the escalator.
01:23Good morning, Ms. Suzy.
01:24Good morning, Ate.
01:27Good morning to all of you.
01:28I was shocked by that video.
01:30I'm sure a lot of you have watched the video of the escalator at the MRT station.
01:36Suddenly, it fell down.
01:38All of the passengers were shocked.
01:39This morning, we will talk with our guest from the Philippine National Red Cross, Sir Leonardo Ebay.
01:46Good morning, sir.
01:47Good morning, ma'am.
01:48Good morning, sir.
01:49Wow.
01:50Does that usually happen to escalators?
01:52Because I rarely see it.
01:55It's rare, but accidents are still limited.
01:58But it's not like that.
02:00Those whose goose items are stretched out.
02:06Yes, correct.
02:07But it's not the whole thing that fell, right?
02:08No.
02:09What was the common injury of the people who were involved in that fall?
02:14It's possible that there were abrasions, scratches.
02:17Okay.
02:18Then, the second one is the fracture.
02:22Yes.
02:23Fracture.
02:24It's a fracture if you were hit.
02:26Yes.
02:27And it has a domino effect.
02:29If it goes down, when it slides to the front, it will continue.
02:33That's true.
02:34So, it will mostly suffer those in the lower part.
02:39Because they were heavy.
02:40Yes.
02:41A lot of people fell on them.
02:42Yes.
02:43What are our do's and don'ts when we ride an escalator?
02:46You know, we are used to not thinking about the rest of our lives.
02:51Actually, the most important thing is that each elevator should have a signage.
02:56Oh.
02:57There's a precaution in front of it.
03:00It's like how to use the escalator.
03:03Yes.
03:04So that people will be aware and it will become a practice that
03:07I shouldn't hold on to the hand grip.
03:11Yes.
03:12My foot should be firm on the step.
03:16Right.
03:17And I shouldn't have loose items.
03:19Yes.
03:20If I have a fur print or fur pet, like for example, if I have a dog.
03:24I see that in the mall.
03:25Because dogs are allowed in the mall.
03:27Yes.
03:28You should carry it because its leash can get stuck.
03:32Right.
03:33And you'll get dizzy.
03:34The dog will be pitiful.
03:35And you know, sometimes what we see, the things with wheels.
03:41Okay.
03:42As much as possible, especially strollers, we don't ride those.
03:45Oh, so you should.
03:46You should use an elevator.
03:48Elevator.
03:49Okay.
03:50Because that would be very risky.
03:51Yes.
03:52Because sometimes, I see parents.
03:53They'll move their stroller back so that the child won't be like that.
03:57But it's better if there's an elevator.
03:59Yes.
04:00What if that happens again?
04:01There will be a domino effect.
04:03There will be a wheel.
04:04Oh, I see.
04:05It will go straight.
04:06Yes.
04:07So this, I'll ride it.
04:08And what else is good?
04:09Do you know the tip that I thought of, sir?
04:11Because we're so used to using phones.
04:14That's wrong.
04:15Right?
04:16You should ride it.
04:18When you're on the escalator, always look forward where your direction is.
04:22Okay.
04:23And prior from entrance, you should also know where your direction is.
04:26Are you going up or down?
04:27Yes.
04:28So you will not have some kind of confusion or mistake.
04:31Right, right.
04:32All right.
04:33So, sir, we'll do a demo of how to ride the escalator.
04:37You know, there are people who ride it for the first time.
04:39Or when they're older, they find it difficult.
04:42Yes.
04:43The timing.
04:44The speed.
04:45Because you can slide.
04:47Like, for example, let's go both sides, ma'am.
04:49Let's go at the same time.
04:51Be on the inside of the yellow, this box.
04:55Yes, inside of the yellow box.
04:56That's it.
04:57And then, watch out for the signage.
04:59Because the others, here, for example, you're not in a hurry on the right side, right?
05:03Yes.
05:04If you're in a hurry, it should be clear on the left side.
05:06Yes, correct.
05:07Usually, it's really right for it to access.
05:11If ever something happens, you also have access down.
05:13Yes, actually.
05:15And then, watch your step.
05:17Watch your step.
05:19We're going down now.
05:20We're here on the right side, for instance.
05:22That's it, ma'am.
05:23Center.
05:24And be aware of your surroundings.
05:26Yes, ma'am.
05:27Before, sir, my art, I don't want to touch the railing because it's dirty.
05:30My mother said,
05:32Hi, ma'am.
05:33Touch it if it's your art.
05:35Because you're an alcoholic, ma'am.
05:37Correct, yes.
05:38She said, that's why you put it there.
05:39Thanks, ma'am.
05:40That's your number one defense, ma'am.
05:41That's your number one defense, ma'am.
05:42Yes, right?
05:43So that if something happens, you have something to hold on to.
05:45Yes, ma'am.
05:46And you won't get out of balance right away.
05:47What are the shoes that they should wear?
05:51The crucial shoes are the ones with shoelaces.
05:55Your shoelaces should be properly tied.
05:59If your shoes are closed, there are no shoelaces.
06:02So, the chances of you getting into an accident are less.
06:05That's right.
06:06That's right.
06:07That makes sense.
06:08So, the kids sometimes wear tight shoes.
06:11Yes, ma'am.
06:12Do they sometimes play with the silver part?
06:15Correct.
06:16That's called dragging.
06:17Don't do the dragging.
06:18Ah, so don't.
06:19Even us, the adults, sometimes we play with the side.
06:23That's prohibited.
06:24That's prohibited.
06:25All right, Kapuso.
06:26We were with Sir Leonardo this morning.
06:29These are the things we do every day that we sometimes don't think about, right?
06:32Yes, ma'am.
06:33There can still be an accident.
06:34So, always be prepared.
06:36Yes.
06:37And, ma'am, just like what I said earlier, it will become a practice if we have a signage.
06:43That's right.
06:44That's the most important.
06:45Yes, call on our establishments.
06:47If there are escalators, put a warning signage.
06:50Thank you so much, Leonardo.
06:51Yes.
06:52And to all of you in the Philippine Red Cross.
06:53All right.
06:54We'll be back in Pitex.
06:55Watch out for us.
06:56We'll be back in Pambansang Morning Show where your safety is always first.
06:59This is Unang Dina.
07:01Wait.
07:02Wait, wait, wait, wait.
07:03Don't close it yet.
07:05Don't close it yet.
