00:00 TMZ riders are often seen by the MMDA
00:03 climbing under footbridges when it rains.
00:07 But the riders are not climbing.
00:11 Here's the news from Mark Salazar.
00:13 Some ride-hailing app users are laughing
00:19 when the MMDA talked about the MMDA's repeated attacks
00:25 on riders who climb under footbridges when it rains
00:30 and get lost in the traffic.
00:33 The MMDA said that only TNVS riders
00:36 are caught by CCTVs that obstruct traffic.
00:40 "Can we screengrab this or video it?
00:46 Then, when we see that you are a rider,
00:51 we will send it to you
00:53 so that you can be the first to discipline
00:57 while the NCAP is suspended."
01:00 "We are very open to that.
01:02 We have our guidelines specific to traffic laws and regulations
01:07 so we can impose and at least hide the refresher training."
01:12 "What I would request is that
01:14 when we give the...
01:16 For example, you can wear a capote
01:20 if you want to last longer.
01:22 But that's a period of time
01:25 that you are there.
01:26 Because in basketball, there's a 3-second rule.
01:31 My suggestion is that we should put a qualifier
01:35 so that we can give a very specific and very clear directive."
01:40 But where can a rider who is safe and not in danger climb?
01:45 "There's no waiting sheet, DJ."
01:47 "There's none."
01:48 "Hassle."
01:50 "You know that you're wearing a capote if you're in a house like this."
01:52 "Okay.
01:54 When you get to the horticast, it won't rain anymore.
01:56 There's no hassle."
01:58 MMDA also helped the owners of gasoline stations in EDSA
02:02 to talk about being a "silungan."
02:05 "Maybe it's possible if you allow us to put tents
02:10 if ever,
02:13 that we can only put silungan to put capote."
02:17 The gasoline stations did not interview the media,
02:20 but their problem with the MMDA's request
02:24 is that the customers' espacios might eat the riders.
02:28 The active cellphones of delivery riders are also dangerous in gasoline stations.
02:34 The MMDA is still studying the problem.
02:37 But on August 1,
02:38 their motor's connection to the riders' underpants is still in place.
