In the course of a week and a half, over 500 Pasig residents, students and workers from more than 60 organizations made their voices heard in the first AI-driven digital consultation in the Philippines. Apart from sharing their opinions on Open Streets, residents also raised concerns on traffic congestion and illegal parking through the voting platform.

Pasig City today started a weeklong project to get residents, workers and students to co-create their own traffic and transport regulations. Under discussion: whether to turn streets into biking, walking, retail, and restaurant areas to allow safe social activity and livelihood especially during COVID-19.
