He &quot;suddenly collapsed&quot; in the southbound lane of EDSA-Magallanes and was pronounced dead on arrival at the Makati Medical Center, said EDSA traffic chief Edison Nebrija.&quot;To all fellow bikers out there please make sure you’re fit enough to endure the distance and heat while pedaling to work,&quot; he said on Facebook.Most of the Philippines&#x27; urban centers including Metro Manila, which accounts for a third of gross domestic product, eased its 2-month lockdown over the weekend to reboot the shrinking economy and stop job losses.Public transportation remains suspended in areas under modified lockdown and businesses are urged to provide shuttle services and accommodation for workers, officials said.<ul class="op-related-articles">	<li><a href="https://news.abs-cbn.com/business/05/13/20/public-transport-still-barred-in-modified-lockdown-areas-roque">Public transport still barred in modified lockdown areas: Roque</a></li>	<li><a href="https://news.abs-cbn.com/business/05/16/20/businesses-operating-under-modified-lockdown-urged-to-provide-transpo-accommodation-for-employees">Businesses operating under modified lockdown urged to provide transpo, accommodation for employees</a></li></ul>
