00:00Drivers of e-bike, e-trike, and other light vehicles were given another week by the MMGA
00:07before the tickets were issued for those who passed through the main streets of Metro Manila.
00:12The information campaign is not in line with the law.
00:16Ryan Leziguez was at the center of the news.
00:21Upon consultations with our team,
00:26we will continue our journey to the main streets of Metro Manila for one more week.
00:35On May 18, the MMGA and President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. gave a month's notice to e-trike and e-bike
00:45who pass through the main streets of Metro Manila.
00:48However, the MMGA will not issue a ticket to those who will use e-bike and e-trike this week.
00:56According to the MMGA, they will be given another week's notice.
01:00The MMGA will use this few days to monitor the educational campaign and inform the public about this policy.
01:09According to the MMGA, owners and drivers of this type of vehicle should use this week
01:16to register their e-light vehicles and obtain a license from the Land Transportation Office or LTO.
01:24Despite this, the e-bikes and e-trikes that pass through the main streets will continue to be monitored.
01:32But if this week, you are the only one who will be monitored,
01:35you should be warned that next week, e-bikes and e-trikes that will be used by the MMGA will be fined and impounded.
01:46We have some reports that the drivers are very young, which is very dangerous.
01:54More likely, they don't know the traffic rules and regulations.
01:59And their maturity to drive vehicles is not that high.
02:08The MMGA will study if the fine for violators who use e-light vehicles can be lowered.
02:16We'll have to revisit them.
02:20We'll look at how to do it so that it won't be burdensome for our countrymen.
02:31We completely understand our countrymen that sometimes this is their mode of transportation.
02:40It's just that there are safety and traffic issues with this.
02:45Remember, the fine is P2,500 for anyone who uses e-bikes and e-trikes that pass through the main streets of Metro Manila.
