MANILA, Philippines — The vehicular traffic seen along Metro Manila's thoroughfares could breach pre-pandemic levels by June, the Metro Manila Development Authority predicted Thursday. 

 

MMDA chairman Romando Artes made this statement over ABS-CBN's TeleRadyo on Thursday afternoon, adding that this projection was due to the resumption of face-to-face classes in the capital region's schools. 

 

"There are still no classes now, so if we do have face-to-face classes in June, we can expect the number to increase. And it looks like we'll breach the 405,000 which was the pre-pandemic level," he said in Filipino.
