MANILA, Philippines — A toll holiday on the South Luzon Expressway (SLEx). Sen. Sherwin Gatchalian on Monday made the suggestion to the Toll Regulatory Board (TRB) amid the daily traffic gridlock along the northbound portion of SLEx, the main artery connecting Metro Manila to Calabarzon. I think that’s within the powers of TRB,” Gatchalian said. Last week, Poe asked TRB officials and the Department of Transportation during a Senate hearing to do something about the traffic problem on SLEx after personally receiving complaints from affected motorists. “With the procession-like flow of traffic, is it wrong to reduce toll fees for motorists?” she asked.
