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.

I feel sorry for the Filipino

All I can say is, I feel sorry for the Filipino people. They've never really tasted freedom since the time of the Spaniards and I think they will forever be second class citizens or slaves of another country or class of people.

Think about it, 400 years of Spanish rule? 40 years of American rule, a couple of years under Japanese rule, 20 years of Marcos rule and 10 years of Arroyo's rule. It's practically built into the psyche of the Filipinos to be ruled by someone and never to be treated as an equal in his own country.

As they say, the leader should set an example. But the leader in this case is setting a bad example for everyone.

Tragic really.
