00:00Even though it was an ambulance, a passenger who was riding it got a ticket
00:04due to crossing the EDSA busway because he ran
00:07because he did not run in an emergency case.
00:09Another rider was counter-flowed to avoid being caught.
00:13Raffi Tima has a report.
00:21In order to avoid being caught by the traffic violator in EDSA,
00:24this motorist counter-flowed.
00:26On top of that, the northbound of St. Olan flyover was also caught.
00:34But he did not disappear after being chased by the operatives
00:37of the Special Action and Intelligence Committee for Transportation or SAIC.
00:40He said that he did the wrong thing.
00:42That's why he was asked why he counter-flowed.
00:44It's not in the law, sir.
00:46That's why it's not allowed in the law.
00:48You know, sir, we are Filipinos.
00:50If the problem can be avoided, it's like that.
00:53The rider added that he was afraid to see the SAIC operatives.
00:58He was caught last December and paid Php 5,000.
01:02But because of what he did, aside from the Php 5,000 penalty,
01:05he will also be fined for reckless driving and counter-flow to EDSA.
01:13Most of the motorcycle riders who were caught by SAIC
01:16are usually accused of being part of the EDSA busway.
01:24This ambulance was not saved even though it has a patient.
01:28It's not an emergency case, that's why it was stopped and the SAIC was still stopped.
01:32A reminder of SAIC, not all ambulances with a patient can pass through the busway.
01:37Only those with a serious emergency were allowed to enter.
01:41Within more than two hours of the operation,
01:4330 violators were caught by SAIC operatives.
