Talaga lang ha? Phase 2 of public transport reopening to bring relief to Metro Manila commuters – Palace

By Prince Golez

Malacañang is optimistic that the second phase of reopening public transport on Monday will provide commuters much-needed relief.

Presidential Spokesperson Harry Roque in a virtual presser Saturday said the resumption of public transportation systems will allow “no less than” 3,600 buses and 1,500 other transport vehicles to operate in Metro Manila.

The capital region is still under general community quarantine amid the threat of the coronavirus disease (Covid-19).

“Alam po ninyo siguro matatapos na iyong hinagpis natin sa kakulangan ng public transportation beginning June 22 po. Kasi no less than 3,600 buses na po ang lalabas at mayroon pang mga 1,500 na iba pang mga sasakyan,” according to Roque.

The Palace official also reminded the public to continuously observe social distancing as there’s no vaccine yet for the virus.

“Pero kinakailangan po talaga mag-social distancing dahil wala na pong alternatibo. Kinakailangan siguraduhin natin na 50 percent capacity lang ang mga bus kasi bagama’t kailangan natin ng transportasyon para makapagtrabaho, baka naman iyong kawalan ng social distancing ang maging dahilan para magkasakit at mamatay. So, ingat po palaging isipin na habang walang bakuna, habang walang gamot, banta po ang Covid-19,” he added.
