Earlier today, several electric posts in Binondo in Manila City snapped and fell onto the roads near Plaza Ruiz, essentially blocking off the Ongpin-Quintin Paredes intersection.
The Manila Public Information Office (MPIO) has now released an official traffic advisory following the incident, and the closed-off areas as well as alternate routes have now been identified. Needless to say, those who intend to pass through the area should expect heavy traffic.
