SAN Juan City Mayor and Metro Manila Council President Mayor Francis Zamora said that he would push for an adjusted mall hours in the National Capital Region, to help ease the traffic congestion in the metropolis.
“I will relay it to the body. These are the things we can discuss,” Zamora said in a radio interview.
He said that the adjustments, which is usually done every Christmas season, is a “good suggestion.”
“Yung mall hours na hindi lang dapat talaga sila sumasabay sa rush hour, kumbaga maging standard operating hours ng malls, imumungkahi ko ho yan pag nag-usap ulit kami ng aming Metro Manila Council,” Zamora noted.
Zamora said that the recommendation was made with more suggestions coming in to help ease the worsening traffic in the National Capital Region.
Just this Thursday, various local government units had implemented the new 7 a.m. to 4 p.m. work schedule so that “peak hours will be spread out.”
The MMC is composed of 17 mayors from 16 cities and one municipality. This is the policy-making body of the MMDA.
