Despite this, MMDA Assistant Secretary Celine Pialago insists it will be more or less the "regular traffic" we experience along EDSA and other primary roads. “After the convoy passes, the situation will go back to normal,” she says in Filipino in an interview with ABS-CBN News two weeks ago. She also subsequently advised motorists to expect a heavier flow of traffic because the SEAG coincides with the holiday season. “We know it’s the ‘ber months. A big event like this will of course add to the heavy traffic,” she says.
