MMDA: no rerouting, road closures for 27th ASEAN Labor Ministers' Meeting

With the Philippines serving as host for the 27th ASEAN Labor Ministers’ Meeting (ALMM) and Related Meeting, the Metropolitan Manila Development Authority (MMDA) said that it will not implement any re-routing and road closures despite the expected heavy traffic volume.

In a statement, the agency advised motorists to “take alternate routes to avoid any inconvenience” since traffic is expected to be heavy with the conduct of the event.

While that is the case, the MMDA will deploy a total of 186 personnel beginning tomorrow (October 25) until Saturday (October 29).

“For the said event, the agency will assist on traffic management, road clearing, emergency response with ambulances and first responders pre-positioned at strategic locations along the venue and route, and monitoring of road situations at Metrobase,” the MMDA shared in a statement.

Reports stated that labor officials from countries belonging to the ASEAN group namely Brunei Darussalam, Cambodia, Indonesia, Laos, Malaysia, Myanmar, Philippines, Singapore, Thailand, and Vietnam will take part in the five-day event.
