The Pasay City government has started a wire-clearing operation, including the bundling of internet and cable lines, as part of preparations for the upcoming Metro Manila Film Festival Float Parade on Dec. 19.
Pasay City Mayor Emi Calixto-Rubiano said the wire-clearing activities were conducted from Dec. 13 to 16 along Sen. Gil Puyat Avenue, in coordination with utility providers, to ensure public safety and the smooth passage of MMFF parade floats which are expected to be taller and wider than regular vehicles.
Rubiano said utility providers removed and organized low-hanging and tangled overhead cables along the parade route to prevent possible obstructions.
She added that the wire-clearing operation serves as a preventive safety measure to avoid potential accidents involving parade floats, performers, and spectators. The activity also helps improve road visibility and maintain order during the event.
The city government advised motorists and residents to expect temporary traffic disruptions while clearing activities are ongoing and urged the public to cooperate with authorities and utility crews.
The MMFF Float Parade, also known as the Parade of Stars, is one of the highlights of the annual film festival and draws thousands of spectators to Pasay City and neighboring areas during the holiday season.
