Based on a report from Inquirer, MMDA proposed to reduce the speed limit of 60-kph in Metro Manila roads on Tuesday, March 26.

The General Manager of the agency, Jojo Garcia, believed that their plan will reduce any accident during off-peak and early hours.

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.
