00:00The residents of several barangays in Pasig City are struggling with the prepaid load for the internet.
00:07Today is the fourth day of the repair of Pasig City's Spaghetti Wires,
00:13which also targets those who are stuck inside and outside,
00:17and the internet and telephone cables.
00:19Benji Durango was at the center of the news.
00:24Mang Jun uses the internet to talk to his children abroad.
00:27But this Tuesday, he was disconnected from his loved ones.
00:30If we have a relative who is in an emergency, it's hard for us to contact them.
00:36Today is the fourth day of the repair of Pasig City's Spaghetti Wires,
00:40which also targets those who are stuck inside and outside,
00:42and the internet and telephone cables.
00:44Meralco will do this for 10 days.
00:46It started at East Santos Avenue in Barangay Suminang.
00:48Sometimes, the Spaghetti Wires are already stuck inside.
00:54I'm concerned for the children.
00:57What if it suddenly explodes?
00:59This is a pre-magic of Pasig City, Meralco, and other telcos.
01:03Aside from the power shortage,
01:05the telephone and internet cables are also a target
01:08for those who are stuck inside and outside the posts,
01:10which is usually the cause of accidents.
01:12This is the main fiber optic cable of an internet provider.
01:16This is included in the order that was made today to fix it.
01:20Now, because it's a big job,
01:23the contractor of the internet provider said that it will take one week
01:28before we can fix it.
01:31So, the residents of Barangay Suminang will lose their internet for one week.
01:36In 22 streets in Barangay Suminang, 36 posts need to be cleaned.
01:41Some posts also need to be replaced.
01:43We are also avoiding illegal connections.
01:47Because those wires have illegal connections.
01:52One day, the MNC agreed that every LGU in Metro Manila
01:58will pass a resolution to start cleaning the Spaghetti Wires.
02:02We need to avoid this so that we won't lose our lives.
02:09There were two incidents last week.
02:13One of the posts fell because of the weight of the wire.
02:20Imagine, if a person fell from this post,
02:25he will have serious injuries and may even die.
02:35He is referring to the terrible incident of a post falling in Manila
02:40where a wire fell and damaged several areas.
02:44According to San Juan City Mayor and MMC President Francis Zamora,
02:47Metro Manila mayors have reached an agreement.
02:50Meralco and Telcos need to move because if they won't support the decision of the council,
02:55they do not comply.
02:57Especially if they continue in their non-compliance,
03:01they can revoke their permits.
03:03But the barangay is working hard to prepare the residents
03:07just like what happened in Barangay Suminang.
03:09Beforehand, before this project started,
03:12I pacified the residents.
03:15I explained to them that we need a little sacrifice.
03:20That's why Mang John insisted on moving first.
03:22It's okay because it's good.
03:25The area around Pasig will be cleaned.
03:29The area will also look good in exchange for a little sacrifice
03:32when the Spaghetti Wires are removed from their barangay.
