Marcos cited the need for immediate relief from traffic woes while long-term infrastructure solutions are underway.
“Together, we can conquer Metro Manila’s traffic situation. Join the conversation at the Traffic Summit by sharing your insights in the comments!” the President said in a Facebook post yesterday.
The summit, titled “Bagong Pilipinas townhall meeting on traffic concerns,” will be held on April 10.
In a video that accompanied the post, Marcos said state agencies and local governments would tackle the problem in detail, and encouraged the public to take part in the discussions.
"Participate even through the comments section so we would know your ideas and thoughts," he added.
