San Juan, QC mayors hail PBBM's suspension of EDSA rehab
Manila Bulletin
|June 03, 2025
San Juan City Mayor and Metro Manila Council (MMC) President Francis Zamora and Quezon City Mayor Joy Belmonte lauded on Monday, June, 2, President Marcos' decision to temporarily halt the scheduled rebuilding of EDSA to find a better way to implement the project without causing too much burden to commuters and businesses.
"I fully support the decision of President Ferdinand R. Marcos, Jr. to suspend the scheduled rebuilding of EDSA in order to explore faster, more efficient, and less disruptive methods of reconstruction. This move demonstrates the President's responsiveness to the daily concerns of commuters and motorists who rely heavily on Metro Manila's main thoroughfare," Zamora said.
"While we recognize that EDSA remains in urgent need of structural rehabilitation and improvement, we equally commend the President's resolve to ensure that any such project must not unnecessarily burden the Filipino people," he added.
The mayor explained the city stands ready to fully cooperate with the national government in implementing alternative traffic routes and rebuilding solutions.
"As one of the cities directly traversed by EDSA, we are very much aware of our shared responsibility to help ease traffic congestion and improve mobility across Metro Manila. In San Juan City, we continue to undertake regular road clearing operations, especially along identified Mabuhay Lanes, to ensure smoother traffic flow for public and private transport," the MMC president noted.
Welfare, comfort
Belmonte emphasized the importance of prioritizing the welfare and comfort of the public amid ongoing economic and mobility challenges in the capital region.
