00:00 For those who love to jaywalk or cross the wrong crossings,

00:04 it is recommended to be heavily punished for that.

00:08 Yes, that's what James Agustin reported.

00:10 Passengers crossing the EDSA at the same time are just below the EDSA carousel

00:18 in this part of EDSA Sentry's Northbound.

00:21 It's very dangerous, especially if their companion is fast in the car.

00:25 Sometimes, some of them run.

00:27 Almost all of them run past the blocked concrete barriers in EDSA Busway.

00:33 These three passengers immediately ran to the concrete barriers.

00:37 When they got the time, they crossed the EDSA.

00:40 They were accompanied by other passengers.

00:42 It's very difficult to get up there.

00:45 Then you have to get down there.

00:48 If you have to get up and then get down,

00:51 if you're here, you just have to check that there's no car.

00:54 It's really like that.

00:55 It's dangerous, right?

00:56 Yes.

00:57 It's just that, you just have to be strong-willed.

01:00 If there's no car, just cross.

01:02 There are two large cars in the area.

01:04 It's written that you can't cross. No jaywalking.

01:08 For the passengers to ride in the EDSA carousel,

01:11 there's a way to the MRT Quezon Avenue Station.

01:14 Some of them are following.

01:16 It's hard for them to walk far.

01:19 Even though it's dangerous, they're doing it.

01:21 They're going to the far side of the road.

01:26 It's dangerous, right?

01:29 Yes, it's a bit dangerous.

01:31 But they're doing it on time.

01:33 Joe Marino, a call center agent,

01:36 admitted that sometimes he also crosses the road.

01:39 Sometimes it's faster here.

01:40 Of course, it's also on the way home.

01:42 And you have to get up there to ride.

01:44 For now, the fine is P500 for community service

01:48 for those who are caught jaywalking.

01:50 According to the ordinance of the Metro Manila Council of 2019,

01:54 Interior and Local Government Secretary Benjur Abalos

01:57 recommended to the MMDA and LGUs

01:59 that the fine should be higher, especially in EDSA and C5 Road.

02:03 The MMDA said it's a good thing that it's supported.

02:06 Some of our countrymen also favor it.

02:08 That's right. It's our fault.

02:11 It's our fault.

02:14 But maybe next time, we'll just cross the road.

02:18 It's better to raise the fine so that people can ride.

02:21 Because sometimes, if you earn a lot, you can't afford to pay the fine.

02:27 That's the truth.

02:28 That's the news.

02:30 James Agustin of Gemi Integrated News.

02:33 You know, I've experienced that too.

02:35 It's really surprising.

02:37 Because in EDSA, we're fast, right?

02:39 And then, we cross the road.

02:40 Yes, and then, we suddenly cross the road.

02:41 Normally, it happens late at night or early in the morning.

02:45 But the 500 pesos penalty is a bit high for some people.

02:49 Especially now that life is hard.

02:51 I hope that the penalty is not the only thing that's high.

02:56 Because of course, there's a crime.

02:59 But they should also be given an alternative

03:01 because they're really going to go far to cross the road.

03:05 Or there should be an incentive.

03:07 If you cross the road properly, there's an incentive by...

03:11 By what?

03:13 You have a discount, for example.

03:15 Yes, for example, if you ride an MRT or LRT.

03:19 But sometimes, we notice that the overpasses are far.

03:23 Sometimes, it's dark.

03:26 They're afraid to cross the road.

03:29 Like Mount Kamuning, it's really high.

03:33 I'm thinking about putting a footbridge there.

03:36 But it will be high because of the MRT.

03:39 Especially for senior citizens.

03:42 Maybe it's also a culture.

03:44 We need to change our culture.

03:46 Because in other countries, even if it's far,

03:48 they're still going around and not paying attention.

03:50 Even if it's hot.

03:51 Here, if you go down, you want to ride there.

03:54 If you see a vehicle, just cross it.

03:56 That's not the right way.

03:58 So, the mindset should be changed.

04:00 We should have walkways that are organized.

04:02 First of all, we don't have walkways.

04:04 It's dark, it's scary.

04:06 We still need to fix a lot of things in our country.

04:09 During the pandemic, I walked all of EDSA.

04:12 From here in Cubao to Makati.

04:15 I walked all of it.

04:16 I accompanied other pedestrians.

04:18 When you walk, even if you're a pedestrian,

04:21 there are bumps and holes.

04:23 So, there should be a big improvement.

04:25 It's heavy when we talk about the overpasses in our country.

04:31 It's very simple to look at, but it's important for ordinary citizens.
