Transcript

00:00Let's find out the situation in Edsabasoy this morning.

00:03Ryan Lasigas has a live report. Ryan?

00:10Diane, the operation of the bus here in Ortigas station of Edsabasoy is almost over.

00:17And as expected, Diane, a lot of motorists have given tickets, including a red plate.

00:26A long parking lot was missed earlier in the part of Ortigas station of Edsabasoy.

00:34The authorized buses in the Edsabas carousel traveled for a few minutes

00:39after the convoy was paraded by seven military trucks

00:43of the Special Action and Intelligence Committee for Transportation or SAIC of the DOTR.

00:48There was no operation and they were directed to the Villamor Air Base.

00:52SAIC said that the military trucks could pass

00:55but their lead car was not allowed. The driver is on defense.

01:01We were allowed to enter here, sir. We were guided there first, sir.

01:04We were guided there first, sir. We were allowed to pass here, sir.

01:07We were not allowed to enter here, sir. But we were guided there, sir.

01:13Diane, this ambulance was also stopped. It just came from the East Avenue Medical Center.

01:18There was no patient inside, so the ticket was also issued.

01:22But the driver explained that there was no sufficient information

01:25that they said that it was prohibited inside the busway if there was no patient inside.

01:31I am following the traffic rules. If I know that there is no patient inside,

01:36I will not be allowed to enter here. I will stay outside.

01:39No one will explain to us. That's why we are still passing through here.

01:46So there was no information received?

01:48Yes, there was no information received.

01:52The driver now has a problem with where he will get his license.

01:56He can remember that there is a fine of P5,000 for unauthorized vehicles that pass through the busway.

02:03I am okay with it. It is important for me to have a license.

02:10We earn a small salary in the barangay.

02:14If P5,000 for this bus, we only earn P3,000 a month in the barangay.

02:22We also have a family. It is a big loss.

02:30Diane was also caught by some single motorcyclists who were forced to avoid the busy traffic.

02:35But wherever they were able to escape the traffic,

02:37they were not able to escape the eyes of the operating team in their arrest.

02:44Diane was caught by two motorcyclists, two ambulances,

02:49and a government vehicle during the operation this morning here in Ortigas Station.

02:56Meanwhile, the traffic here, Diane,

02:59at this time, the traffic is more relaxed compared to earlier,

03:05past 7 or 6 until 7 in the morning.

03:10Thank you very much, Ryan Lesigas.

03:14Thank you.
