Gatchalian recently threatened to cancel the business permit of NLEX if it does not address the traffic build up because of the radio frequency identification toll collection system.
Gatchalian, meanwhile, assured motorists that they would still be able to pass through NLEX toll gates should the suspension of its permit push through. “Ang concession agreement, galing yan sa pamahalaang nasyonal, sa Kongreso. Dapat buhay pa yun, at may kaakibat na responsibilidad yun na ang mga highway nila ay nagagamit pa rin ng taumbayan,” he added.“Hindi naman kasalanan ng taumbayan na na-suspend yung business permit nila so why are they going to block the people from using the road?… Hindi kasalanan ng motorista and you cannot take it out on them,” he added.
