The Metropolitan Manila Development Authority (MMDA) said that air quality along Epifanio Delos Santos Avenue (EDSA) is improving because of the agency's continuous dust and litter sweeping and vacuuming operations.

nasaan ang independent/third part study na magpapatunay na nag improve ang air quality sa EDSA

MMDA Chairman Bayani Fernando said air circulating in the major thoroughfare which connects the Northern and Southern parts of Metro Manila is now fresher and cleaner.

Wow! sandali lang ha. bubuksan ko lang bintana ng opisina. along EDSA lang kasi....

ubo ubo ubo... shit! kahit linggo ganon pa rin. mausok at amoy mmda urinal pa rin

He said air quality along C-5, Roxas Boulevard and other major roads in Pasay City has also remarkably improved because carbon dust and other pollutants coming from trees and plants and those emitted by vehicle engines are regularly swept and vacuumed by Roadways Cleaning Operations Group (RCOG) personnel using truck-mounted giant sweeping machines as well as gutter and wall cleaners who work round-the-clock on two shifts.

Fernando reported that since the agency launched its massive cleaning and vacuuming operations initially along EDSA along with the crackdown launched by relevant agencies on carbon gas-emitting vehicles, the air that people breathe in these areas is 50 percent cleaner.

geez i can smell the bullshit

He announced that as soon as the ongoing upgrading of sidewalks along Edsa is completed, the RCOG will start to clean walkways regularly and even at night to brush away much dust from gutters and walls of the main thoroughfare.

"Offhand, I can assure everyone that before the year is over, when our sidewalk upgrading program is done, the entire stretch of sidewalks of Edsa would be walkable and people would shun riding jeepneys and buses for short trips," he said.

RCOG chief Francis Martinez said that apart from Metro aides manually sweeping and tending the plants on the road, seven giant mechanized sweepers, three gutter cleaners and four wall cleaners are out in the streets at the break of dawn to clean and vacuum the major roads until 4 p.m.

The second shift of RCOG personnel, with truck-mounted sweepers and cleaners in tow, takes over at 10 p.m. and works until 6 a.m. to clean and vacuum loading and unloading bays, underpasses and tunnels, Martinez said.

He said the difficult and dirtier job of cleaning the street infrastructure is being done by mechanized sweepers due to the spate of road accidents.

main reason bakit mausok ang metro manila. simple.. mga sasakyan. mas mausok sa mga lugar kung saan may u-turn slot kasi sobrang traffic.

by the way nakita ko ito oh. MMDA truck na smoke blecher. hahaha
