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

From Pinas Dekada 80's Tara,Sariwain natin muli ang ating kabataan tuwing sasapit ang PASKO! Isa ka ba sa mga bata sa Dekada 80 na nakaranas mag KAROLING? :) Sa Pilipinas, ipinagdiriwang ng mga kabataan ang pasko sa tradisyonal na Kantang Pamasko – pumupunta sa iba’t ibang bahay at kumakanta ng kantang pasko. Remedyo na mga instrumento tulad ng mga tamborines na gawa ng mga tansan na nasa isang wire. Kasama ang tradisyonal na awit ng “Namamasko po!”, ang mga kabataan o umaawit ay nag-aantabay sa nagmamay-ari ng bahay na bigyan ng pabuya tulad ng barya. Pagkatapos na mabigyan ng barya, ang mga kabataan o mga umawit ay nagpapasalamat sabay kumanta ng... “Thank you, thank you, ang babait ninyo, thank you!” ♥ Isang halimbawa ng paskong awit ay ang “Sa may bahay ang aming bati” Sa may báhay ang áming báti: "Merry Christmas na maluwalháti!" Ang pag-íbig, pag siyàng naghári, Aràw-áraw ay mágiging Paskó lagí! Chorus: Ang sanhî po ng pagparíto, Ay híhingi po ng ágin

Miss Philippines Is 1st Runner Up In the Miss Universe Pageant

Image
From the Janine Tugonon Facebook Page . MANILA, Philippines - Shortly after her first runner-up finish in this year's Miss Universe pageant, Miss Philippines Janine Tugonon shared her thoughts about the final seconds of the competition. In an interview on ANC on Thursday, Tugonon said she honestly thought that she could be the third Filipina to get the Miss Universe crown. "I want to be honest na siyempre, oo naman, naisip ko na 'yun, may pag-asa ang Pilipinas. Pero siyempre, inihanda ko na rin ang sarili ko [na matalo]," she said. "Dapat mag-expect ka ng best pero at the same time, maging humble ka na rin to accept na hindi ka rin mananalo. Parang ganoon," she added. Tugonon placed second in the 61st Miss Universe pageant, losing to Olivia Culpo of the United States. The Filipina beauty said she felt nervous yet happy that she made it to the Top 2. "Nagpra-pray lang ako noon. Sabi ko 'Lord, thank you. Thank you talaga,'" she

Christmas - More Fun in the Philippines

Image
I saw this on Magic 89.9's Facebook Page . I must agree, Christmas is more fun in the Philippines. The lights, the atmosphere, the endless shopping, the food, the parties and people enjoying the Christmas spirit. If you've never been to the Philippines, one of the best times to visit is Christmas. Sure, you might experience endless traffic because everybody seems to be out shopping, but that's a small inconvenience compared to what you will experience this time of year. Nobody enjoys Christmas as much as Filipinos do. Make sure you stay until New Year where you'll have people lighting fireworks and making lots of noise. Oh, and make sure you bring loose pants because you'll surely be eating lots of food for days.

Bishop Compares Pres. Aquino to Connecticut Shooter

From Philstar.com MANILA, Philippines - The fight against the controversial Reproductive Health (RH) bill is the biggest challenge the Catholic Church is facing this Christmas season, an official of the Catholic Bishops’ Conference of the Philippines (CBCP) said yesterday. Batangas Archbishop Ramon Arguelles yesterday said that while a 20-year-old gunman killed 20 children in the US, President Aquino would be killing millions of children with a stroke of a pen if he signs the RH bill into law. “Our President intends to kill 20 million children with a fountain pen…to sign the RH bill into law,” he said. He said that if this happens, the womb of the mother would no longer be the safest place. “The RH bill is against life (and) so much young blood (would be) shed. May our leaders not give the Divine Child the same Herodian gift of 2,000 years ago: death of the innocents,” said the Batangas prelate. What an asshole. Full story here .

Top 10 Worst Reasons For Voting No To The RH Bill

After 14 years, the RH Bill has finally passed the second reading. Here are the top 10 reason for those congressmen who voted "no" to the bill. Credit goes to John Dy . Here's a note on the photo above. The ranking is subjective of course. So feel free to rank them yourselves. Let's see who will emerge number 1. :D CLARIFICATION: #9-10 is not a direct quote. My mistake for putting the quotation marks. The "and you know the rest" is added by me because he recited the entire prayer and I couldn't put the whole thing in the space. Here's another photo by John Dy on the Senators who are opposed to the RH Bill.

When his true love, a perplexing beauty named Ivana, suddenly breaks off their relationship, Charles' life falls apart, and he swirls into a downward spiral of doubt, confusion and reflection. With the support of his loyal intimates—Kirby (Jason Schwartzman), Saul (Bill Murray), and his sister, Izzy (Patricia Arquette)—he begins the hard road of self-evaluation to come to terms with a life without Ivana.

House passes RH bill on second reading

From the Inquirer . MANILA, Philippines—After fourteen years of being stuck in Congress, legislators finally put to a historic vote and passed the Reproductive Health Bill before dawn Thursday. With 113 votes on affirmative, 104 negative and three abstention, the RH Bill was approved on second reading, the most critical voting period for a legislation. The lawmakers went on a lengthy nominal voting, in which each lawmaker had three minutes each to explain his or her vote, after doubts were expressed about the voice vote earlier done on the bill. The tally of the votes was announced at about 2 a.m. Thursday. The reproductive health bill gives the national government the mandate to make reproductive health services accessible to poor families through information and education and the provision of free contraceptives. Unlike his earlier statement that the closing of the amendment period would be initiated by the opposition, House majority leader Neptali Gonzales II moved to term

Justin Bieber mocks Manny Pacquiao on Instagram, draws ire of boxer’s fans

Image
Justin Bieber mocked Manny Pacquiao in a series of posts on Instagram on Sunday, triggering a tidal wave of verbal abuse from fans of the Filipino boxing superstar. The Canadian singer — an associate of brash American boxing champion Floyd Mayweather – posted three pictures on his Instagram account that made fun of Pacquiao’s knockout defeat to Juan Manuel Marquez in their fourth fight held in Las Vegas on Saturday. The first photo shows the knockdown Mayweather scored against Marquez during their 2009 fight in which Mayweather scored a dominant decision victory. The photo bore the hashtag “No Competition”, implying that Mayweather is clearly superior to Pacquiao based on their respective performances against Marquez. The second photo has Pacquiao’s prone knocked-out figure grafted diagonally into a photo of Michael Jackson and two backup dancers performing a gravity-defying dance move. It was captioned “ ”pacquiao doing the lean with MJ… Classic moment”. The third phot
