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...

Finally! A Politician Free Banner for a Government Project

Image
I can't believe I finally found a banner for a government project where the name of a politician is completely missing and is attributed to the people. This banner which was put up announcing the improvement of the drainage and flood control system in Nueva Vizcaya should be the standard as opposed to banners announcing that a certain politician is responsible for the project. No politician is responsible for any government projects. Government projects are all funded by taxpayer money and any politician putting their name on the project should be ashamed of themselves. Here's the banner. Here are some other banners put up by shameless politicians as a way to grab credit. All photos courtesy of Anti-Epal .
