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
Whitney Houston has died at age 48, her publicist confirmed to OnTheRedCarpet.com's parent company ABC on Saturday, February 10.
Publicist Kristen Foster said that the singer had died, but the cause and the location of her death were unclear.
She was last seen Thursday in Beverly Hills. Houston was scheduled to perform Saturday at a pre-Grammy gala for producer Clive Davis.
Houston won six Grammy Awards, 30 Billboard Music Awards, 22 American Music Awards and two Emmy Awards during her long career. She was one of the world's best-selling musicians, having sold over 170 million albums and singles worldwide.
Towards the end of her career, Houston became as well-known for her drug use, erratic behavior and tumultuous marriage to singer Bobby Brown.
The singer, who has struggled with drug and alcohol abuse for years, relapsed and returned to rehab in May.
"Whitney Houston is currently in an out-patient rehab program for drug and alcohol treatment," the 48-year-old pop and R&B singer's spokesperson told People magazine at the time. "Whitney voluntarily entered the program to support her long-standing recovery process."
Houston, known for her songs in her 1992 film "The Bodyguard," including her cover of "I Will Always Love You," underwent treatment for substance abuse in 2004 and in 2005.
In her infamous 2002 interview with ABC News' Diane Sawyer in an interview, Houston said, "The biggest devil is me. I'm either my best friend or my worst enemy."
She also denied using crack cocaine, telling Sawyer, "Crack is cheap. We don't do crack. Crack is whack."
She told Sawyer that she has used alcohol, marijuana, cocaine and prescription drugs at different points during her career.
"I partied a lot," she said. " Trust me, I partied my tail off. You get to a point where you know the party's over."
In 2000, the singer was detained at a Hawaii airport after a security guard said some 15 grams of marijuana were found in her purse. The drug possession charge was later dismissed.
Houston leaves behind one child, Bobbi Kristina from her marriage to Bobby Brown. Houston and Brown were married from 1992 until 2007.
Here's one of her most famous songs.
RIP Whitney, you will always be remembered for your beautiful voice.

The breakup of KC Concepcion and Piolo Pascual started up the rumors about Piolo Pascual being gay again. Frankly I'm sick and tired of this Piolo and KC news. The other day, I was watching TV Patrol and for that half hour the three major news event was former President Gloria Arroyo house arrest. The disbarment case against Sec. De Lima and the break-up of Piolo and KC. Guess which one had the longest airtime? To tell you the truth, what does it matter if Piolo is gay? Would it make your life better knowing that? Filipinos can be very judgmental about gays. On one hand, they accept them if they're comedians or beauticians. But other than that, they won't accept them and ridicule them. Maybe because they feel like it hurts the Filipino macho image. Who knows? Of course, there's this video going around about Piolo while watching the boxing match of Manny Pacquiao. There's even a photo that is circulating around the Internet about proof that Piolo is gay. On
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
