San Miguel Corporation’s infrastructure unit said it has made all necessary preparations in anticipation of heavy traffic volume this week at all its expressways, namely the South Luzon Expressway, , Southern Tagalog Arterial Road , the Skyway System, NAIA Expressway, and the Tarlac-Pangasinan-La Union Expressway , as Filipinos head out to the provinces for the traditional observance of Holy Week.
Mobile patrol units have been deployed at strategic locations, while more ambulant tellers will be positioned at major toll plazas to assist toll collection personnel, to speed up the flow of vehicles heading out of Metro Manila to northern and southern provinces. “We encourage our motorists to make sure their Autosweep RFID accounts have sufficient load and to have their Autosweep cards ready in their vehicles, to avoid any delays. Our ambulant tellers are also equipped to scan cards for faster transactions, in case there is heavy build-up at the exits,” Ang added.
“To our motorists, we ask for your patience and understanding, as we all try to get to our destinations safely this Holy Week. Kindly anticipate heavy traffic and plan your trips well. Also, please make sure your vehicles are in good condition and are road-worthy, as common problems we see at expressways—blown out tires and overheating engines—can also cause a significant amount of delay and inconvenience to other motorists,” Ang said.
