Watch the free live streaming of President Rodrigo Duterte’s address to the nation on Wednesday, December 16, 2020. Duterte on toll system regulators: They should not have allowed the system to be put into use without a trial run and anticipate what would be the problem.

Duterte: They should not have allowed the system right now to put into use without a trial run for about one week. Titignan nila and anticipate what could be the problem. You expect the worst.

Duterte asks if it is the fault of the system: Yes. Because it was not properly tested. We should have not allowed the system right now to be put into use with the trial.

Transportation Sec. Tugade has apologized to the public and the local government of Valenzuela for the discomfort caused by the RFID mess.

Duterte on RFID: Itong korporasyon, ang kita nila diyan, yung sa toll, then they introduce an innovative system pero di naman nila pag-aralan.

Duterte: Is it the fault of the system? Yes, because the system is not tested thoroughly which would translate into something like incompetence and lahat na.
