00:00 The MMDA also granted another week's notice to the drivers of e-bike, e-trike and other light vehicles
00:07 that passed through the main streets of Metro Manila.
00:11 That's what Ryan Lasigas said.
00:13 Upon consultation with our team, we will continue our patrols here in the main streets for one more week.
00:28 On May 18, the MMDA and President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. granted a month's notice to e-trike and e-bike
00:38 that passed through the main streets of Metro Manila.
00:41 But the MMDA will not issue a ticket to the last e-bike and e-trike users this week.
00:48 The MMDA said they will grant another week's notice.
00:53 The MMDA will use this time to improve the educational campaign and inform the public about this policy.
01:02 According to the MMDA, the owners and drivers of this type of vehicle should use this week
01:09 to register their e-light vehicles and obtain a license from the Land Transportation Office or LTO.
01:17 Despite this, the e-bike and e-trike users will continue to be protected on the main streets.
01:25 But if this week, you are the only one who is protected,
01:28 they should be warned about the next week because e-bike and e-trike users may be impounded
01:36 and the MMDA will use them as a shampoo.
01:39 We have some reports.
01:41 The drivers are very young, which is very dangerous.
01:47 More likely, they don't know the traffic rules and regulations.
01:52 And their maturity to drive vehicles is not that high.
02:01 The MMDA will study if the ticket for violators who use e-light vehicles can be lowered.
02:09 We'll have to revisit that.
02:13 We'll look at how to do it so that it won't be burdensome for our countrymen.
02:24 We completely understand our countrymen that sometimes this is their mode of transportation.
02:33 It's just that there are safety and traffic issues.
02:37 Remember that the fine of P2,500 is the one that anyone who drives e-bike and e-trikes
02:46 on the main streets of Metro Manila will face.
