According to the report, Jojo Garcia brushed off those who complain about the proposed speed limit.
“Nagkatawanan na naman, nakakatakbo ba tayo ng 60 [kph]? Sa Commonwealth, medyo maluwag diyan, ang Roxas Boulevard ‘pag tanghali lang makakatakbo ka ng 60 kph.”
“Some part ng Edsa, yung pagdating ng Balintawak [at] Monumento maluwag na makakatakbo ka ng 60 [kph],” he added.
Surely, a lot of people will react on the new plans of the MMDA.
