Just a day after motorcycles were barred from using the Foodland Flyover under Cebu City's Oplan BanTal: Discipline Zone, the Cebu City Transportation Office (CCTO) reopened the flyover to motorcycle traffic in both directions.
What prompted the move? Was it a policy adjustment, public feedback, or part of the agency's traffic management plan?

00:27Okay, let's go.
00:32It starts with a fresh shot of espresso. Bold, rich, pulled just right.
00:41Then comes the milk. Steamed smooth, creamy, and balanced.
00:47The perfect latte is not brushed. It is crafted. One cup at a time.
00:53Your perfect latte is ready. Coffee first, then everything else.
01:00Good afternoon and welcome to Beyond the Headlines.
01:03It's the 457th founding anniversary of the province of Cebu.
01:08I'm DJ Moises and today's conversation is brought to us by Coffee First.
01:13This week, Cebu City rolled out a new traffic scheme along Governor Cuenco Avenue, more commonly known as the Bantal
01:22Road.
01:23The changes have sparked plenty of conversations.
01:26Some commuters are hopeful. Others are frustrated.
01:30Many are simply asking, why were these changes made?
01:34And will they actually improve traffic?
01:38Joining us to help explain the new traffic scheme and answer the questions many Cebuanos are asking
01:43is Cebu City Traffic Office Head Raquel Arces.
01:49Hello, Raquel, and welcome back to Beyond the Headlines.
01:51Mayong hapon, DJ. Mayong hapon sa mga viewers.
01:56So, for those of us who are watching at home, this is a working holiday for us.
02:02Yes.
02:04Sige. So, ang first question, because at least from what I heard, this is just a pilot run,
02:10but eventually this could also be implemented in the other streets of Cebu.
02:16So, can you at least walk our viewers through on what these changes are?
02:22Yes. For the Banilad-Talamban Discipline Zone,
02:27ang component, Annie, is we are strictly implementing laws, traffic laws,
02:33under City Ordinance 801, implementing in that area, no?
02:38From Banilad, from the under the flyover of TESDA to Tintay Terminal.
02:47So, kaya na nga stretch ang ato ang inundang coverage.
02:53And then, unsang, unsang, unsang, unsang, unsang nga disiplina ang ato i-instill.
02:59First is for the pedestrian, nga, dili na sila pwede magpatakaog tabok.
03:06Of course, mangita yun silang pedestrian lane or pedestrian crosswalk or the skywalks para sila safe nga makalabang.
03:17So, for the pedestrian, for the commuters, for the passengers, and for the public transportation vehicles.
03:26So, tili na pwede nga muhunong sa asa mo gustong muhunong.
03:34Sa ayod banta, kung kita maoy pagbuton, kada sakay na to, mutok-tok rata, then muhunong sa ato ang tungod
03:41mo na itong gusto.
03:42But now, or this time, ang PUJ must stop on a PUJ stop or the MPUJ must stop on the
03:51MPUJ stop.
03:53So, we have identified 12, 6 northbound and 6 southbound.
03:59So, aside from nga muhunong siya on a PUJ stop, musood yun siya sa lebay.
04:08Kaya kung muhunong, imagino ninyo, kung muhunong gud siya on the road, sa flow sa traffic,
04:16usalang ka lane, nakakuha na siya.
04:19So, naka-obstruct na siya sa flow sa traffic.
04:22So, mahitabuan na is, mabara na ang kasunod niya.
04:26Kaya, naatay gi-identify, gitawang uglebay, kanang mupakit ba?
04:31So, munaog yun siya, o mupadaplin yun siya dito sa pocket area,
04:36arun, still free-flowing ang dan for the traffic.
04:42Kaya, kun muhunong ragud siya sa dan, naas siya sa outermost lane.
04:48Mauna sa dine ang bago na to, or ang kabaguhan na to.
04:51Kaya, we gave the outermost lane to the motorcycles.
04:56So, motorcycle lane, ang ato ang outermost lane.
05:00But, it's not exclusive.
05:03Tungod kay, ato sa gitaganong higayun,
05:06ang atong mga MPOJs or PUJs,
05:10nga musood sa outermost lane, or sa motorcycle lane,
05:15in preparation for a stop, for a jeepney stop,
05:18in preparation for the lebay.
05:21Kaya, naa siya sa innermost.
05:23O niya, what happened kung adto na na yung muhunong,
05:26naan na siya sa PUJs,
05:27muwagig yun siya sa rightmost or sa innermost lane.
05:32Same goes to the private four-wheel vehicles.
05:36Kun pananglita, naa siya approaching on establishment,
05:41naa siya tuyo dito, on the right.
05:42But, muwagig yun siya sa outermost lane.
05:47Mugamit siya sa outermost lane.
05:49But, kiklaro sa din ako,
05:51nga huwa magpasabot nga,
05:52free ang access sa outermost,
05:55ato rasiya magsugod sa outermost.
05:58O niya, pas-pas pag yun ang dagan.
06:01Outermost lane is for slow-moving vehicles.
06:05Kanang in preparation sa right turning,
06:07ato dito sa outermost lane.
06:10But, after, muwagig yun siya on a parking,
06:13naa siya, naka-park siya on an establishment,
06:16then, muwagig yun siya.
06:18Inigua niya,
06:19diretsyo,
06:20i-clear niya ang dahin,
06:22then diretsyo siya sa innermost lane.
06:24So,
06:26by a exclusive,
06:28but,
06:29preferred good for motorcycle lane.
06:31I hope na kuha,
06:32kundihan na pita.
06:34Mauna siyang concept sa ato ang discipline zone.
06:36And before we go into the detail,
06:40when you mentioned the phrase,
06:41mga discipline zone,
06:42because I also used to live in that area,
06:46I remember clearly,
06:48that when the mayor won,
06:52that's the seat,
06:54that was also termed as a discipline zone.
07:00Correct.
07:00What happened between then and now?
07:05Except sa katong outer lane ni mo.
07:07Because supposedly,
07:08the intent,
07:08that's why it was called discipline zone,
07:11kaya I would notice,
07:12there were more,
07:13kaya ng,
07:14kaya ng people from your office,
07:16who are also,
07:17enforcers, no?
07:18Making sure that everybody was observing traffic.
07:21Yes.
07:21But,
07:21I also noticed over time,
07:23nga na,
07:25ang discipline zone na po siyang balik.
07:27Correct.
07:27So,
07:27muna akong context,
07:29how different will this be from that so-called discipline zone?
07:33No difference.
07:34Okay.
07:35To be frank,
07:37na himo to,
07:39during the time,
07:40ikaw mag yun nag-mention,
07:41ano,
07:42DJ,
07:43but,
07:44wala ma-sustain.
07:45Kana.
07:46Wala akong question.
07:46Wala ma-sustain.
07:47So,
07:47there is no difference.
07:48Muro gisugda na lang po na to,
07:50then,
07:52nagsugod na tala,
07:53back to zero ta.
07:54So,
07:54hopefully,
07:55wala akong question,
07:56kung basing ma-back to zero na po,
07:58the way I see it,
08:00this one works,
08:01kanika rung bagong scheme,
08:03with the presence of either enforcement,
08:06enforcers?
08:07Yeah,
08:07more,
08:07more enforcers.
08:09Enforcers,
08:10the visibility.
08:11Correct.
08:12Or,
08:12katong gisun yan na to before na,
08:14katong,
08:15contactless.
08:16No contact apprehension.
08:17No contact apprehension.
08:18Either of the two,
08:20but in the absence of such,
08:21muragdakog probability na,
08:23we will still go back to that discipline.
08:25To be honest,
08:27yes.
08:27To be honest,
08:28yes.
08:28But,
08:28the mayor assures me of more enforcers,
08:33more traffic enforcers.
08:34That's my demand.
08:35And also,
08:36gi,
08:37paspasanasad karoon,
08:39ang,
08:40negotiation for a no contact apprehension.
08:43Okay.
08:44Sige.
08:44Now,
08:45let's go to the details now of this one.
08:48Some of the questions that I'm hearing is,
08:50unsang problem ang gisolv?
08:52You've mentioned safety, no?
08:54Safety, yes.
08:55But,
08:56is speed also,
08:58part of the problem that it's being solved?
09:02Okay,
09:02murag magug na ay mixed review.
09:03Okay,
09:03murag safety,
09:04but,
09:05if we look at some of the photos,
09:08murag di congest man na one siya.
09:09So,
09:10is it also solving a flow issue,
09:12or just safety?
09:13For the safety issue,
09:16based on our records,
09:1985 to 90% of road crash,
09:23not only in Bantal,
09:25but in the whole city,
09:26involves motorcycle.
09:28Why?
09:30Di mana na to madenay,
09:32na ang,
09:33motorcyklo,
09:34makakita gani,
09:36o binta,
09:37musood yun.
09:37So,
09:39changing lane after the other.
09:42Mauna siya ang attitude or behavior sa usaka driver.
09:46So,
09:46counter flow.
09:48Who is rampant in the counter flow,
09:50or the driving left?
09:52Motorcycles.
09:54Muna,
09:54muingon nga,
09:55nga nung sila ra ang itutukan.
09:57This is for your safety.
09:59Kay,
10:00huwag man mo gi,
10:02deny sa paggamit sa daan,
10:04gitagaan lang mo sa inyuhang lugar,
10:08ugasan mo,
10:09dapitan mo lugar,
10:10harun,
10:11maminusan ang,
10:12disgrasya.
10:14As a matter of fact,
10:15based on our records,
10:16starting August 1,
10:17up to yesterday,
10:19usa lang ang atong natala,
10:21for Bantal,
10:22usa lang ang atong natala,
10:24nga,
10:26road crash,
10:27nga nag-involve,
10:28o motorcycle.
10:29Compared to,
10:29Compared to,
10:31the previous,
10:32nga wala pataana,
10:33wala pata di ha,
10:34which is,
10:3585 to 90 percent,
10:37naadyo nag-involve yun,
10:38o motorcycle.
10:40Mauna siya ang rason,
10:42kanang sa akong tanaw,
10:45di man siya siguro,
10:47murag,
10:48inuntang,
10:49gi,
10:49gi,
10:50ipungan mo,
10:51kung free,
10:53pwede man mo makapadagan,
10:55and then,
10:55kung naayon nag-block,
10:56naabaron ang PUJ,
10:58nagpabadlong,
10:59naani,
11:00ni Hunong sa tunga,
11:02ni Kuha o Pasahiro,
11:03pwede mangyug ka,
11:05maka,
11:06maka go on the outermost,
11:08but with caution,
11:09then,
11:10mabalik ka sa,
11:11huwag na magpasabot,
11:12nga muhuwat ka,
11:14sa PUJ,
11:15nga mahuman,

11:16o diskarga,
11:17but,
11:17iklaro ninyo ako,
11:19violation sa PUJ,
11:20nga nagkarga,
11:21o diskarga siya,
11:22on the outermost lane,
11:24not on a PUJ stop,
11:26or on a lebay.
11:28So,
11:28just to go back to the question,
11:30what this one seeks to solve,
11:31is safety,
11:32no?
11:33Yes.
11:33Not necessarily,
11:35flow.
11:35No,
11:36safety,
11:37it's the safety of the drivers.
11:39Okay,
11:39kay murag ka na po,
11:40so what can you also,
11:42how can,
11:42what will you also address,
11:43the public man said,

24:52And thank you for,
24:53bringing up the,
24:54nasipit,

24:57I remember now,
24:58because I don't live there,
24:59in that area,
25:00but I remember now,
25:01there's no sidewalk.
25:03No sidewalk,
25:04yes.
25:04So,
25:04I can imagine also,
25:05katong mga mag-hike,
25:08or mag-tulog-tulog silang,
25:09wheelchair,
25:10wheel where they pass,
25:11for the benefit lang of everybody,
25:13like,
25:13this is the coral,
25:15this is the white road na,
25:16or the white paint.
25:17Paint,
25:18yeah,
25:18correct.
25:19vehicles can pass.
25:20Vehicles,
25:21next to the white paint,
25:22vehicles,
25:23yeah,
25:25that's the reality.
25:27So,
25:28I think,
25:29ang ako lang siguro,
25:29overall comment,
25:30because,
25:31not to put you on the spot,
25:32because you are just part of the ecosystem,
25:34but I'm also hopeful,
25:35bang,
25:36for those who are thinking about this,
25:39they will also include,
25:40the necessary infrastructure,
25:42like,
25:42for example,
25:43I get to know,
25:44katong shades,
25:44and then,
25:46even just to go to the,
25:47jeepney stop,
25:49there should at least be a sidewalk.
25:52Yeah.
25:53Okay,
25:54sorry kung nikatawa ko,
25:55no.
25:55Now,
25:56let's go on the enforcement na.
25:58So,
25:59some people also observe,
26:01na ang madakpan kasagaran,
26:03are the public,
26:04and correct me if I'm wrong,
26:06are kaning mga jeepneys,
26:08but what about,
26:09katong mga private car owners,
26:11are they also apprehended?
26:14Kabalo ko nga,
26:15ang imonggiingon is,
26:16kung padong na sila mo right turn,
26:17but I would notice also nga,
26:19ni Stepkin sila dito,
26:21no.
26:21Especially,
26:22in overtaking,
26:24are they also apprehended?
26:26Yes.
26:27Sige.
26:27Yes.
26:27When they obstruct the flow of traffic,
26:30kung nakuha,
26:31nakuha,
26:32nakuha,
26:32overtake sila,
26:33gigamit sa private drivers,
26:36nga overtaking lane,
26:37ang outermost lane.
26:39Nibaliktad,
26:39instead,
26:39nandini mo overtake,
26:40ninhinan nun sila mo overtake.
26:42Yes,
26:42but if,
26:43nang overtake sila on a broken line,
26:46pwede pa na.
26:47Hindi ka tumalang the blue,
26:48di man naman.
26:49Ah,
26:49the blue.
26:49Yes,
26:50so they are already moving towards the outer lane,
26:53meant for motorcycles,
26:55to overtake.
26:56Yes.
26:56Okay,
26:57okay,
26:57So,
26:58sa ako,
26:59iklaro ninyo ako,
27:00nga,
27:01wala yun tayo exemption sa itong balaod.
27:03But if you are to apprehend,
27:05we see to it also,
27:07nga,
27:07dili ta naka-obstruct sa flow sa traffic.
27:10Like,
27:10for example,
27:11dili,
27:11magkina sila,
27:12muhi mo ana,
27:12DJ,
27:13kung kita sila sa enforcer.
27:15So,
27:16balik na sa ta,
27:17nga,
27:18it's a cut and mouse thing.
27:20Mo,
27:22mo behave sila,
27:23kung naa ang enforcement.
27:24So,
27:25kung wa,
27:26then we do,
27:27mubuhat sila,
27:28nga,
27:29ka nang inuntang violation.
27:31Pero wala yun tay,
27:32wala yun tayo gipili,
27:34wala yun tayo exemption.
27:35And now,
27:36can you,
27:37what are the corresponding penalties,
27:39man,
27:39for those who are apprehended?
27:42Same,
27:43radyod,
27:43kaya wala pa man na ito giamend,
27:45ang ito ang tax code,
27:47sa ito ang penalties,
27:49sa ito ang city ordinance 801.
27:52So,
27:52for the moving violation,
27:53like for the driving left,
27:56for crossing solid line,
27:57crossing double solid line,
27:59no U-turn,
27:59et cetera,
28:00those moving violations,
28:03it's 1,000.
28:05Pariharag yun gihapo na.
28:06Pariharag yun gihapo na.
28:07Pariharag yun gihapo na.
28:08And then,
28:09ni take effect,

28:23for violators,
28:25you're starting yesterday.
28:26Yesterday.

28:27from August 1 to 4,
28:30we are more on the,
28:32on the,
28:33information dissemination.
28:34Okay.
28:35Okay.
28:35So,

28:38pag-enforce.
28:39Mauto nga,
28:40adunay reactions,
28:42sa ato ang mga commuter,
28:43sa ato ang mga motorist.
28:45Now,
28:45my final question,
28:46it appears to be strong,
28:48but the intent is really,
28:49kanang,
28:50kanang,
28:51for,
28:52calibration lang sa,
28:53I think,
28:54one of the factors nga nung,
28:56kanabi taong,
28:57kaning mga schemes,
28:59kanang,
28:59and I'm not necessarily referring to you,
29:01but in general ba,
29:02they just come and go,
29:04because,
29:05nahasol ang public,
29:07and then,
29:08di-deh siya mo work,
29:09and then,
29:10everybody is forgiven,
29:11all is well.
29:13No?
29:15In this particular scheme ba,
29:17if at the end of the evaluation,
29:20I know,
29:21naamanggi,
29:22advantages or disadvantages,
29:24but if at the end of the evaluation,
29:26this is more disadvantageous to the public,
29:30than advantageous to the public,
29:32are we going to just,
29:33okay,
29:34let's move on.
29:36For the enforcement side,
29:39once you get apprehended,
29:41no,
29:41ang gimin din ako is,
29:43you can say owner de,
29:44anong project by the way,
29:45kaya I know nga,
29:46you're just part of the ecosystem.
29:47The TMC board,
29:48traffic management council.
29:50So at the end of the day,
29:51if kanabang after,
29:52let's say,
29:52especially when the classes will open,
29:54and then,
29:54moingon yun tang,
29:55this is failure,
29:57no,
29:57this is more bad than good,
30:00kaya namangi chay good,
30:01but this is more bad than good,
30:03who will,
30:03who are,
30:04who will the public,
30:08hold accountable,
30:09and who will own this now?
30:11I'm sorry guys,
30:11this is a failure.
30:13We're going to move somewhere.
30:15I think,
30:15mulag ka na mangod ka na mangod,
30:16that's why it's easy lang for us
30:18to do trial and error,
30:19kaya kung error mangod siya,
30:21everybody's forgiven.
30:23No,
30:24with that,
30:25kung na ay mga policies,
30:27na ay mga kabaguhan,
30:28na ay introduce ang opisina,

30:33of the TMC board.
