00:00Recently, if you are a regular commuter, if you are a regular commuter, you will be aware of the delay, and when you are a regular commuter?

00:18First of all, it's not the first time that I am going to use the MRT.

00:24We usually use the MRT because of traffic. It's faster.

00:31My family, my friends, my friends, my friends, when it's practical to traffic, it's about two hours to Cuba.

00:39We used to be MRT.

00:41I noticed that sometimes, when we come to the MRT,

00:45when you come to the hand, you will not be able to use it.

00:50I used to call the MRT, and I used to call the MRT.

00:55I used to call the MRT.

00:57I used to call the MRT, and they were like,

00:59I know, it's been a lot of crowds.

01:01The energy is okay.

01:03We have a problem.

01:04It's a little bit of a bit.

01:05But, the weight of the CCP,

01:07and the hard work,

01:08and even the security checks,

01:11we were taking the delay.

01:14Tinanggal namin lahat, tapos cashless payment na, tapos yung 1 plus 3 na ginawa namin para sa pamilya.

01:22And we are studying na yung studyante mabigyan na malaking diskwento.

01:28Kasi I said, everywhere I go, ang senior at saka student may diskwento malaki, 50%.

01:35Kasi ngayon 20%, ina-apply po ngayon.

01:39So gusto nyo mas malaki.

01:40Mas malaki kasi those are the sectors of government, of the society, na hirap sa cash.

01:49Studyante, walang pera ang studyante. Usually, yung mga matatanda, kukunti lang ang hawak nilang pera.

01:54So bakit pa natin pababayarin? They already served the country, nagtrabaho sila ng buong buhay nila.

02:02E dapat naman magbigyan natin ng konting beneficyon, di ba?

02:05Pinahaba natin yung trend, dadalasan natin yung pag-ano ng trend.

02:10Ngayon, those are the things that we can do immediately.

02:13Of course, we have the very big projects also. We have the subway projects.

02:18We will be able to open it na maabot na sa Valenzuela.

02:22We have the extension of the MRT.

02:25But these are long-term projects.

02:27But they will come.

02:28They will start to see the completion of some of the phases by late this year, next year.
