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...

From NBA.com. A recap of Jeremy Lin's incredible emergence as a star for the NY Knicks.
"Players playing that well don't usually come out of nowhere. It seems like they come out of nowhere, but if you can go back and take a look, his skill level was probably there from the beginning. It probably just went unnoticed."
-Kobe Bryant to Jeremy Lin after scoring 38pts on Lakers.
When you take a look at his track record, he led Palo Alto High School to 32-1 record and a CIF state title over nationally ranked Mater Dei High as a senior. He was a first team All-State selection and the Northern California Division II Player of the Year among several other accolades.
Then he received no athletic scholarship offers. Not even Stanford, the school right there in Palo Alto, offered him nothing. Lin got zilch, nada. What did he end up doing? Well he went on to Harvard and was a three-time All-Ivy League performer. He was named one of the country’s 12 most versatile players by ESPN’s Fran Fraschilla among the likes of Evan Turner, Greg Monroe, Gordon Hayward, Paul George, all of whom were drafted in the top 10 of the 2010 NBA Draft. As a junior, he was the only player in the nation to rank among the top 10 in his conference in points, rebounds, assists, steals, blocks, field goal percentage, free percentage and three-point percentage. As a senior, he helped the Crimson to its most wins in a season in school history. He became the first player in Ivy League history to record at least 1,450 points, 450 rebounds, 400 assists and 200 steals. The list goes on and on.
Then he went undrafted, even after Jim Calhoun, the coach of the No. 12 UConn team who barely beat Harvard during Lin’s senior season, 79-73, said, “I’ve seen a lot of teams come through here, and he could play for any of them.” This after Lin dropped 30 points and pulled down nine rebounds in the losing effort. After a summer league stint with the Mavericks, he eventually signed with the Warriors, only to play in 29 games as a rookie. Lin was then waived by the Warriors and then by the Houston Rockets, before winding up with the Knickerbockers.
Even then the story is not complete. Just two weeks before his breakout game against the Nets, Lin recorded a triple-double for the Erie BayHawks in the D-League. Now four NBA starts later, he’s the first player in league history with at least 20 points and seven assists in his first career starts. His 109 points in those starts is the most by any player since the ABA-NBA merger (the guy scored 76 points all season as a rookie with Golden State!).
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...

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...
