00:00I would also like to mention to Secretary Vince Dizon what the government can do so that commuters won't have a hard time.

00:12We have free rides that we can provide.

00:15We would also like to ask Secretary Vince Dizon to discuss the management of Manibela

00:23because we should remember that not only the government can have an impact,

00:32but also the commuters.

00:34We should remember that commuters are innocent and are just put in the middle.

00:41What Secretary Vince Dizon wants is for them to discuss and give to the new leader of the DOTR what they want.

00:50We hope that commuters won't be affected.

00:53For now, our commuters are not yet affected,

01:18We will study that 43% and we will ask that all that can happen is for the commuters,

01:26but also for the jeepney operators and drivers.

01:29All of this because we should have a win-win solution.
