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

How Manny Villar lied and used the death of his brother Danny

From the Philippine Star . ===================== “Nakaranas na ba kayong ... mamatayan ng kapatid dahil wala kang pera pangpagamot (Have you experienced losing a brother because you did not have the money to provide him proper medical care)? — Manny Villar asked in his “PANATA (Advocacy)” TV commercial. Villar was referring to his younger brother Danny who passed away on October 1962. In the same commercial, Villar’s 1962 photo with his younger brother was shown. This portrayal of being poor once upon a time is a fantasy which comes in a series of similar attempts by Villar to create empathy with the nearly 90% of voters who belong to the socio-economic classes D and E. However, this particular attempt to use his late brother Danny to further his political ambition showed that Villar is as capable of lying just like Madame Gloria Macapagal Arroyo (GMA). Two public documents — the death certificate of Danny B. Villar and the Transfer Certificate of Title (TCT number: 135396/3194) of th

PUP Student Protest

Here's the video showing the PUP Students who smashed chairs and desk protesting the 2000% increase in their tuition. What I'm wondering is, if they are angry of the huge increase in their tuition which is P12/unit going to P200/unit, why would smashing chairs and tables be the answer to that? Wouldn't the school have to replace those and wouldn't it take money to replace those as well? Where would the school get the money? Oh right, from the student's tuition! Dumb asses. There are better ways of protesting than destroying property. Destroying property just lowers your bargaining position. And they call themselves educated. That's the most uneducated way of protesting. I admire that fact that they want to fight against tuition increase. I have no problem with that. But they have to be both reasonable in their demands and how they protest. For P12/unit, what kind of education can you expect? Sure it's government subsidized. But haven't they heard of infl

Short basketballers in Philippines fly high

From the Philippine Daily Inquirer. ==================== MANILA — In a brightly lit Manila gym, basketball players make daring lay-ups, desperate rebounds and even the occasional dunk — all amazing sights considering the tallest man on the court is the referee. Its all part a fledgling league in the hoops-crazy but sometimes vertically challenged Philippines aimed at leveling the playing field by setting height limits and removing the natural advantage of taller players. The Below Six-Feet Basketball League (B6BL), an amateur league operating in Manila, has attracted an enthusiastic following from the many Filipinos too short to compete in the bigger competitions. "It represents the kind of basketball for Filipinos where they can show their talents in speed and shooting," rather than relying on height, said B6BL founder Nilo Fernandez. At the B6BL games, the players -- who have to be shorter than six feet (1.83 meters) -- have the enthusiasm and competitiveness to make up for

Anne Curtis Bikini Incident

You've probably heard about this already. You may have even seen the photo and the video of Anne Curtis' bikini incident. If you don't know, what happened was, while taping a show for ASAP in Boracay, her bikini top fell off and exposed her right breast. Well, I'm not going to be showing you the photo or the video. It has already circulated around the Internet. It's too bad that she had an accident with her wardrobe. It's worst that people are actually circulating it. Perhaps we should show a little more respect and try not to make an embarrassing situation worst. Whatever you think of Anne Curtis, I think it's not fair to exploit someone's misfortune. It's much more dignified if we don't act like animals howling at seeing a woman's breast. And you know, it's not like she was Janet Jackson who probably planned her wardrobe malfunction. Hey, it's life, shit happens. Let's not glorify it by showing that to the world. Here's an i

Arroyo allies in Cebu nix Teodoro for Villar

From the Philippine Daily Inquirer. ====================== MANILA, Philippines—While Malacañang was not looking, Nacionalista Party (NP) presidential candidate Sen. Manuel Villar has quietly gained the support of the biggest political party and the most powerful political family in vote-rich Cebu, according to well-placed party sources. Villar met with congressmen and local officials belonging to One Cebu and the Garcia family behind closed doors at Marco Polo Hotel in Cebu City on Wednesday. Although details of the meeting were not disclosed to local journalists, Alvin Garcia, who is seeking to regain the city’s mayoral post, announced an alliance between his party, Kugi Uswag Sugbo (Progress for Cebu) or Kusug, and the NP in a press conference at the same hotel. His position was different from that taken by his cousin, Cebu Gov. Gwendolyn “Gwen” Garcia, who founded One Cebu and has expressed support for Lakas-Kampi-CMD standard-bearer Gilbert Teodoro. The governor sealed President Gl

A woman walks into her accountant's office and tells him that she needs to file her taxes. The accountant says, "Before we begin, I'll need to ask a few questions." He gets her name, address, social security number, etc. and then asks, "What is your occupation?" The woman replies, "I'm a whore." The accountant balks and says, "No, no, no. That will never work. That is much too crass. Let's try to rephrase that." The woman, "OK, I'm a prostitute.". "No, that is still too crude. Try again."

A Married Couple Was In A Terrible Accident

A married couple was in a terrible accident where the man's face was severely burned. The doctor told the husband that they couldn't graft any skin from his body because he was too skinny. So the wife offered to donate some of her own skin. However, the only skin on her body that the doctor felt was suitable would have to come from her buttocks. The husband and wife agreed that they would tell no one about where the skin came from, and they requested that the doctor also honor their secret. After all, this was a very delicate matter. After the surgery was completed, everyone was astounded at the man's new face. He looked more handsome than he ever had before! All his friends and relatives just went on and on about his youthful beauty! One day he was alone with his wife, and he was overcome with emotion at her sacrifice. He said, 'Dear, I just want to thank you for everything you did for me. How can I possibly repay you?' 'My darling,' she replied, 'I get

The Spoon

A lesson on how consultants can make a difference in an organization. Last week, we took some friends to a new restaurant, 'Steve's Place,' and noticed that the waiter who took our order carried a spoon in his shirt pocket. It seemed a little strange. When the busboy brought our water and utensils, I observed that he also had a spoon in his shirt pocket. Then I looked around and saw that all the staff had spoons in their pockets. When the waiter came back to serve our soup I inquired, 'Why the spoon?' 'Well, 'he explained,'the restaurant's owner hired Andersen Consulting to revamp all of our processes. After several months of analysis, they concluded that the spoon was the most frequently dropped utensil. It represents a drop frequency of approximately 3 spoons per table per hour. If our personnel are better prepared, we can reduce the number of trips back to the kitchen and save 15 man-hours per shift.' As luck would have it, I dropped my spoon

Vendors using food sweetener face arrest

From the Philippine Daily Inquirer . ====================== MANILA, Philippines—Manila policemen on Wednesday vowed to crack down on vendors selling or using a substance called “magic sugar” as food sweetener. Citing the hazard it poses to one’s health, Supt. Nelson Yabut, chief of Manila Police District Station 3, ordered his men to check on vendors in the Sta.

Yabut said they arrested the other day a vendor from whom they seized 30 grams of “magic sugar.” Public safety He said the vendor admitted using the artificial sweetener for the cold drinks he sells. “Although we understand that these vendors are trying to make a living, we cannot tolerate this illegal practice,” Yabut said. “We should always put the safety and well-being of the public first.” The police official also warned vendors caught using or selling “magic sugar” that they could be charged with the violation of Republic Act 3720, or the F

Prosecutors ready to tackle complaint vs Pineda over RP anthem row

From GMA News TV . ====================== Government prosecutors are ready to tackle a prospective complaint from the National Historical Institute against Journey lead singer Arnel Pineda over his rendition of the Philippine national anthem during the bout of boxing icon Emmanuel “Manny" Pacquiao against Joshua Clottey in Texas Sunday (Manila time). In a radio interview Monday, Justice Secretary Alberto Agra said the prosecutors will take first crack at the complaint that the NHI threatened to file against Pineda for changing the tone and tempo of the anthem when he sang it.

Grandma

Grandma is eighty-eight years old and still drives her own car. She writes: Dear Grand-daughter, The other day I went up to our local Christian book store and saw a 'Honk if you love Jesus' bumper sticker. I was feeling particularly sassy that day because I had just come from a thrilling choir performance, followed by a thunderous prayer meeting. So, I bought the sticker and put it on my bumper. Boy, am I glad I did; what an uplifting experience that followed. I was stopped at a red light at a busy intersection, just lost in thought about the Lord and how good he is, and I didn't notice that the light had changed. It is a good thing someone else loves Jesus because if he hadn't honked, I'd never have noticed. I found that lots of people love Jesus! While I was sitting there, the guy behind started honking like crazy, and then he leaned out of his window and screamed, 'For the love of God!' 'Go! Go! Go! Jesus Christ, GO!'

He turned the machine on, inserted the paper, and pressed the start button. "Excellent, excellent!" said the Acting CEO as his paper disappeared inside the machine, "I just need one copy." Lesson: Never, ever, assume that your boss knows what he's doing.

'Actually, even with all of this variety, there are really only four types of bras to choose from .' Relieved, the man asked about the types. The saleslady replied: 'There are the Catholic, the Salvation Army, the Presbyterian, and the Baptist types. Which one would you prefer?' Now totally befuddled, the man asked about the differences between them. The Saleslady responded, 'It is all really quite simple. The Catholic type supports the masses; The Salvation Army type lifts the fallen; The Presbyterian type keeps them staunch and upright; The Baptist type makes mou

Dr. Francis Hinayan of the provincial hospital said the burnt areas of the child’s body were being cleaned to prevent infection. These burns were expected to leave scars on Rojo.

Teodoro: Time for RP to go nuke but not Bataan plant

From the Philippine Daily Inquirer. ====================== MANILA, Philippines—With many parts of the country suffering through rotating power outages, administration standard-bearer Gilbert Teodoro Jr. on Friday said it was time for government to seriously think about developing nuclear power to prepare the country for a power crisis in the next 50 years. Speaking at a forum with defense reporters, Teodoro suggested a two-fold method for government to deal with the country’s deteriorating supply of energy. “One, deal with the current shortfall in power supply by facilitating power barges and big users of electricity with whatever they need to self-generate,” said Teodoro, who resigned as defense secretary in November to pursue his presidential candidacy. The other way is to explore the use of nuclear energy to address power shortages in the next 50 years, he said. “We have to look that far ahead so that every year, we could put in the additional infrastructure necessary to create gene

One-hour rotating brownouts in Metro, Luzon—Meralco

From the Philippine Daily Inquirer . ====================== MANILA, Philippines – Parts of Metro Manila and Luzon should expect one-hour rotating brownouts Thursday, from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., according to power distributor Manila Electric Co. Joe Zaldarriaga, Meralco external communications manager, in an interview over dzMM, said outages were expected in certain areas in Caloocan, Quezon City, Malabon, Batangas and Cavite. Zaldarriaga explained that the outages were due to a 245-megawatt power supply deficit in the Luzon grid. This deficit is expected to further worsen to as much as 380 megawatts by 2 p.m., he added. ======================= This is the problem with having short term vision and corruption in the Philippines. Instead of tackling this problem 10 years ago. The government basically gave Meralco and the IPPs the task of handling the problem. And as expected, all they did was to build something to maximize their profits instead of actually solving the problem. They basically
