00:00The EDSA project, to fix EDSA, this is not a re-blocking project. This is a complete overhaul of the EDSA from Pasay all the way to Oaxaca.
00:30The last time EDSA was fixed like this was almost 50 years ago.
00:39This is a huge project.
00:46We are actually very, very excited about doing this and we commend DPWH under the leadership of Secretary Manny Bonoan.
01:00...Pamahalang Nasional, Pamahalang Lokal, participation of all the people in the construction of this project.
01:12Admittedly, we admit that it will have an effect on the heavy traffic.
01:22Again, check please, before we start with the questions.
01:26So, we will wait for the final plan in the next couple of days.
01:33But rest assured, we are sorry that we cannot tell you.
01:41Because this is really being planned carefully, this will not be a joke.
01:46This project is not a joke.
01:48That's why we need to plan it correctly and carefully.
01:53Our focus is to minimize the impact on our motorists and commuters.
02:01That is the will of our President.
02:04We will prioritize our commuters, our motorists.
02:08So with that, on behalf of the mayors, Mayor I.
02:16On behalf of the Metro Manila mayors, we heard the explanation of Secretary Vins and the Chairman Artes here at LMDA.
02:29We are committed to help them.
02:32Not only to explain to our fellow citizens here in Metro Manila,
02:38but also to recommend additional policies that we can suggest to them.
02:46So that we can help to ease up all the problems that we are facing while doing and rehabilitating this accident.
02:59We can see that this is a very good intention and a very good project by our President, Bongbong Marcos.
03:07And I appeal to everyone in Metro Manila, including those who are here,
03:14let's help each other and prepare ourselves.
03:18Because despite our efforts, this will be a very good project.
