3 Cost Effective Ways to Solve Metro Manila's Traffic Problem

Image
The Facebook page of ANC 24/7 is asking for its reader's suggestion on how to solve Metro Manila's traffic problem. This got me thinking, "what is the best way to solve Metro Manila's traffic problem?" It's easy to make suggestions, what's hard is the implementation and the cost of implementation. So what is the the best way to solve Metro Manila's traffic problem and the most cost effective solution? Punitive Fines Add caption First of all, any implementation will definitely cost money, a lot of money. The cause of the traffic mess is the people themselves so it's only right that those causing the traffic problem should be fined and the fine should hurt. That way, the fines will pay for the cost of enforcing the law. The fines should start at P500 and goes up every week if you don't pay it within 15 days. To enforce this and prevent people from ignoring the fine. It will be tied to their driver's license or car registr...

Thoughts On The Willing Willie Show With 6 Year Old Jan-Jan

I've been thinking a lot about the Willing Willie show where 6 year old Jan-Jan was made to dance like a male stripper.

To be honest, I don't expect much from a show with Willie Revillame, all his shows are just about throwing money around degrading people. Fine, if people are willing and able to make a decision themselves to do that, that's fine with me. But subjecting a 6 year old boy with obviously no choice in the matter is a new low.

And the fact that the boy was crying while dancing did not even register to anyone on the show that maybe they should put a stop to it? Willie even said that the boy was crying was like the movie "Burlesque Queen" where the star was dancing and crying because she did not have a choice in the matter and will do anything to feed her family.

Wasn't that already a queue that maybe it was exploitation?

What I find to be truly horrific is the lack of response from the sponsors. These shows do not exist without sponsors. Do these sponsors actually want their products to be linked to child abuse and child exploitation?

I'm told that Wiling Willie show is allegedly sponsored by the following:

P&G's Head & Shoulders
UFC Cook & Dip Catsup
Oishi Cookies
Smart C Drinks
Jollibee's Mang Inasal
Unilever's Rexona
Pepsodent
Vaseline
Surf Liquid Detergent
Glutamax Face Cream
Pau Liniment
Yakult
CDO Funtastyk Young Pork Tocino
Technomarine
Will Tower Mall
Daily Spell fragrance
Wil Cologne
Protec-Cee
Foton Automobile
Manny Villar's Camella Homes
Cebuana Lhuiller

The show happened on March 12, 2011. It's March 28, 2011 and we haven't heard any uproar from his sponsors. So why aren't these sponsors complaining about the show? Oh right, because they make so much money from it!

As always, Willie Revillame will escape unscathed from this. He will never change. He even has an explanation on his website about the episode saying that the boy cried because he was intimidated of 6'9" basketball player Bonel Balingit that stood beside the boy during the show.

Yeah right.

If he's never going to change, how about we pressure his sponsors instead?

No sponsor, no show. Simple as that.

Here's the show again to get your blood boiling. See who the sponsors are behind the boy.

Manila - The most Beautiful City in Asia 1950's to the mid 1970's

Welcome Google visitors! If you're looking for old Manila pictures from the 1950s to the 1970s, you've come to the right place. You'll see a collection of nostalgic photos when Manila was in its heyday. Just a quick note, I don't take credit for these photos. Somebody just sent them to me and I felt that it was important that I share it in the hopes that other people will see how beautiful Manila was and hopefully help bring it back to its former glory. Manila when it was the most beautiful city in Asia in the 1950s to 1970s The photos must have been taken in different years, from the mid 1950's to the mid 1960's, judging from the car models (though some cars are pre 1950'd). Where is O'Henry's Coffee and Donut shop in Plaza Sta Cruz (Plaza near Escolta & Reina Regente)? Can you recognize the cars? Chevy Bel-air 1958, Simca 1961-62s, Toyopet 1960s, VW Beetle 1960's, early 1960's Mercedez Benz 220... Take note, naka sapa...

Philippine Business Monopolies

Image
Just read this article on Inquirer.net about Globe complaining that the PLDT and Digitel merger would create a monopoly. PLDT chair Manuel V. Pangilinan on Tuesday hit out at Globe, accusing the Ayala group of monopolistic business practices. “PLDT is not allowed to install phone services inside malls and real estate developments (owned by the Ayala group), despite the clamor from their tenants,” Pangilinan said, noting that Globe was allowed to offer telecom services in these areas. The Ayala group, through its Ayala Land unit, is one of the country’s largest property developers. It operates shopping malls in Metro Manila, Cebu and Pampanga. It's funny how these big companies fight don't they? They talk about the danger of having a monopoly but all these talk are just of course to protect their business interest. In the end, the consumer ends up with the raw end of the deal. Talk about the pot calling the kettle black. Monopolies have existed in the Philippi...
