MANILA, Philippines – The Metropolitan Manila Development Authority (MMDA) has barred its officials and employees from going on any kind of leave during the Christmas season.
MMDA Spokesperson Celine Pialago said Tuesday that all leaves were being disapproved for their personnel to fully monitor the traffic around the metropolis.
“Sa mga panahong ganito, kagaya ng Christmas, kakailanganin kami. So, walang absent at walang magpa-file ng leave,” Pialago said in an interview with dzBB when asked if MMDA Chair Danny Lim has approved any leaves.
According to Pialago, enforcers could not predict the time and place where traffic could build up.
She added that there were instances when traffic would be smooth during rush hours.
“Dynamic yung traffic. Hindi mo alam sa pagkakataon na ito maluwag yung kabilang bound, southbound naman yung masikip,” she said.
“Wala na kasing pinipiling oras kung kailan luluwag, kailan sisikip. May mga araw rin na rush hour pero maluwag. Pero may mga araw na kahit tanghali hindi gumagalaw yung mga sasakyan,” Pialago added. /cbb
