00:00The Transportation Department says President Marcos orders the removal of the Edsa Kamuning footbridge to, quote, build a better one.
00:08Some people have called the structure Mount Kamuning because its high stairs make climbing it feel more like a hike.
00:14Transportation Secretary Vince Dizon says the department will build a lower footbridge with an elevator to replace the Mount Kamuning, and it will connect to the bus station.
00:23However, he did not specify when it will be ready for public use.
00:26The Marcos administration has recently made efforts to understand the plight of commuters.
00:32Last week, Dizon joined a community walk along Edsa to see how people experience traveling on the main road.
00:38Marcos and his family meantime rode the MRT on Sunday, June 1, to launch a train promo for families.
00:44The government plans to start Edsa Rebuild, a program to rehabilitate the highway.
00:48Mobility advocates hope the plan will also improve pedestrian infrastructure.
