Las Pinas opens friendship routes to ease traffic for riders

Las Pinas City has opened a number of friendship routes to ease traffic for riders.

According to Katrina Son's report on "24 Oras," friendship routes are roads within subdivisions which may temporarily be used by residents as an alternative road.

"Malaking tulong po sa amin, ma'am, kasi mabilis po namin nade-deliver 'yung mga kailangan namin i-deliver," a motorcycle rider said.

"May option po kami, sa dadaan po, at least tuloy-tuloy po 'yung ano namin. Mapapabilis po 'yung deliver, pati 'yung dadaanan po," another said.

However, authorities reminded that checkpoints on the areas are still strict.

"Friendship sticker tapos 'yung quarantine pass, I.D., 'yun lang po. [Pag wala] pinapabalik po namin," a security guard said.

The Alabang, Zapote Road flyover was also opened for vehicles to declog roads nearby. —Joahna Lei Casilao/LDF, GMA News
