MMDA's San Juan Jr.: Enforcers to apprehend speeding motorists amid rainy season

Metropolitan Manila Development Authority General Manager Frisco San Juan Jr. said Saturday that MMDA personnel would be more visible and active in apprehending speeding motorists as roads would be slippery in the rainy season.

"Mas visible ang ating mga enforcer at mas aktibo sila sa paghuhuli, lalo na 'yung mga nagpapatakbo ng sasakyan na higit sa itinatakdang speed limit," San Juan said at the Laging Handa briefing.

Meanwhile, San Juan added that drainage cleaning operations were ongoing to prevent flooding.

"'Yung atin pong paglilinis ng mga drainage canal... kasama na rin po ang pag-iikot ng ating mga engineer upang makita kung meron pang kailangang bigyan ng pansin para hindi umabot sa sitwasyon na magbabaha nang matagal dito sa ating mga lansangan," he said.

(Our cleaning of the drainage canals... It includes our engineers making the rounds to see if there were situations that needed attention to prevent prolonged flooding in our streets.)

Meanwhile, there was still no final decision had on the proposed a new number coding scheme which aims to reduce the number of vehicles passing Metro Manila's major roads by 40 percent. — DVM, GMA News
