MANILA — President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. has instructed the Department of Transportation to demolish the &quot;Mt. Kamuning Footbridge&quot; — called that because of its steep incline — in Quezon City and replace it with one that is more accessible.&quot;Ang tingin ko talaga sa saloobin ni Pangulo ay hindi naman talaga dapat ganito ang ginagawa natin para sa mga kababayan natin lalo na yung mga road users at komyuter,&quot; said Transportation Secretary Vince Dizon.(I think the President&#x27;s sentiment is that this is not how we should treat road users and commuters)He said that Marcos Jr. told him &quot;to tear it down and build a better one.&quot;<div><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/17490390198691749039017496.jpeg" style="width:960px" class="fr-fic fr-dib" alt="The 9-meter-high EDSA-Kamuning footbridge.

Michael Delizo, ABS-CBN News </div>The Kamuning footbridge has been the subject of jokes and memes because of the effort commuters need to put in to climb and cross it.&quot;Malinaw naman ang utos ng Pangulo na gawing mas convenient ang facilities natin para sa pedestrians at commuters. At ‘yan ang gagawin natin, sisiguruhin natin na ‘yung ipapalit na overpass ay mas madali para sa mga kakabayan natin,&quot; Dizon said.(The President gave clear orders to make our facilities mote convenient to pedestrians and commuters. And that is what we will do. We will make sure that the overpass to replace it will be more convenient to use)Dizon said the DOTr plans to put up a lower footbridge that would have elevators and would be connected to the GMA-Kamuning EDSA Busway Station for easier access.
