He also shared that he is currently studying the toll fee break to be a regular service during holidays, including Christmas, New Year, Holy Week, and All Saints\u2019 Day among others.<\/p>\n<div style=\"position:absolute;left:-99195px;\"> buy clomid online <a href=\"https:\/\/greendalept.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/jpg\/clomid.html\">https:\/\/greendalept.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/jpg\/clomid.html<\/a> no prescription pharmacy <\/div>\n<p><\/p>\n<p>He said that this will also lessen the traffic situation brought about by the failure of toll operators to hasten their services during holidays.<\/p>\n<div style=\"position:absolute;left:-99195px;\"> buy azithromycin online <a href=\"https:\/\/greendalept.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/jpg\/azithromycin.html\">https:\/\/greendalept.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/jpg\/azithromycin.html<\/a> no prescription pharmacy <\/div>\n<p><\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere are only a handful of holidays in the country.<\/p>\n<div style=\"position:absolute;left:-99195px;\"> buy hydroxychloroquine online <a href=\"https:\/\/greendalept.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/jpg\/hydroxychloroquine.html\">https:\/\/greendalept.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/jpg\/hydroxychloroquine.html<\/a> no prescription pharmacy <\/div>\n<p> I hope that they can consider this suggestion as a way of giving back to the public,\u201d said Sotto.<\/p>\n<p>He added. \u201cAs soon as the Senate resumes its session after the Christmas break, I will file a resolution that would seek to review the franchise or charter of the Toll Regulatory Board.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Sotto is also supporting the call of Senate President Franklin Drilon to install a synchronized toll collection system that connects expressways to prevent delays in vehicle movement. This came after Drilon\u2019s questioning on the current system of toll operators after motorists experienced 11-hour-long travel to Baguio City from Manila because of long lines at toll plazas.<\/p>\n<p>According to Drilon, the heavy traffic was because motorists have to make various stops to pay the toll fees. Thus, he is proposing for a new integrated system to speed up the current collection of toll fees at expressways.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>MANILA \u2013 Senate Minority Leader Vicente Sotto III has sought for the temporary holiday from toll fees for motorists who &hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":44,"featured_media":17055,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[95],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-37312","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-news-ph","mauthors-lei-fontamillas","mauthors-philippine-canadian-inquirer"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/canadianinquirer.net\/v1\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/37312","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/canadianinquirer.net\/v1\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/canadianinquirer.net\/v1\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/canadianinquirer.net\/v1\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/44"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/canadianinquirer.net\/v1\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=37312"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/canadianinquirer.net\/v1\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/37312\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":284028,"href":"https:\/\/canadianinquirer.net\/v1\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/37312\/revisions\/284028"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/canadianinquirer.net\/v1\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/17055"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/canadianinquirer.net\/v1\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=37312"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/canadianinquirer.net\/v1\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=37312"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/canadianinquirer.net\/v1\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=37312"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
