Department of the Interior and Local Government (DILG) Secretary Eduardo M. Año said on Monday that the transportation woes suffered by commuters on the first day of the General Community Quarantine (GCQ) were mostly due to the lack of augmentation rides in the inner streets leading to the major thoroughfares of Metro Manila.

Año made this assessment after pointing out that the traffic flow along EDSA, specifically in the areas near the Metro Rail Transit (MRT), were manageable during the first day of the GCQ in Metro Manila.
On the first day of the GCQ imposition in Metro Manila, commuters, including health workers, complained about the “transportation snafu’’ on Commonwealth Avenue in Quezon City and other areas.
“Umalis ako sa bahay namin sa Don Antonio Heights ng 5 a.m. tapos dumating ako sa ospital makaraan ng tatlong oras. Ito ba yung sinasabi ng otoridad na “birth pains’’? Mantakin mo na dumating ako ng 8 a.m. sa pinagtratrabahuhan na malapit na distansiya lang (I left my house in Don Antonio Heights at 5 a.m. and arrived at the hospital where I work three hours later. Is this what authorities call birth pains? Imagine arriving at 8 a.m. in my workplace which is just a short distance),” a nurse who requested anonymity said.
