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...

Revillame scraps ABS-CBN contract

From the Philippine Daily Inquirer . ====================== MANILA, Philippines—Willie Revillame wants out. ABS-CBN says, “No way.” The controversial TV host Monday said in a press conference that he was rescinding his contract with the network, on account of the shabby treatment it was giving him. Revillame complained of what he believed were continued violations of the terms of his contract with the Kapamilya station. The TV host is bound by a contract until September 2011 to the Lopez-owned network. ABS-CBN gave Revillame his biggest break through the daily noontime game show, “Wowowee,” which was recently canceled after more than five years. In a statement released shortly after Revillame’s press conference in a Quezon City restaurant, the network insisted that it was the TV host who violated “behavioral provisions” of the contract when he threatened management during the May 4 episode of “Wowowee.” Threat to resign On that show, Revillame demanded the dismissal of another network ...

ABS CBN's Showtime Suspended by MTRCB via Rosanna 'Osang' Roces Insult to Teachers

ABS-CBN's Showtime was suspended by the MTRCB for 20 days for so called "insults" by Rosanna Roces about teachers. Watch. My question is, is it really an insult or was she just voicing her opinion? From what I saw, she merely mentioned that the student should also do their own work and not just rely on teachers which is true. Since if you are lazy and just rely on the teacher, how do you know what you're being taught is correct? Also, she could have been voicing her opinion about teachers that she's had personal experience with. I'm sure every one of us has experienced dealing with teachers who only "repeat" what the book says. I've had that in college and he was the assistant dean! She was also right about the books since a lot of the books being printed for public schools are full of errors. So my question is, why is the MTRCB suspending the show? I thought that the Philippines is a democracy and one has freedom of speech. So why is ...

Large parts of northern Luzon were flooded and without power Sunday after Typhoon “Pepeng” (international codename Parma) lashed the area, while authorities announced that the typhoon could still continue to pound the area for more than 3 days. Exactly one week after Tropical Storm “Ondoy (international code name Ketsana) dumped the heaviest rains in more than 40 years that devastated Manila, killing nearly 300 people, “Pepeng” ripped through Northern Luzon starting Saturday. Two separate landslides buried homes in the province of Benguet, killing 12 people on Saturday. In the town of Itogon, 7 construction workers were killed, all of whom were relatives. They were reportedly sleeping in a hut when the landslide occurred around midnight.

I know there's been several incident on ABS-CBN's Wowowee where there's been boob shots. That probably brings in a lot of young male viewers. I think now they're aiming for the seniors market.

Social Networking Sites Outdo News Organizations

During the massive flood happening in Metro Manila that was caused by Typhoon Ondoy, there was very little updates on major news organizations like The Philippine Daily Inquirer. I found out about how bad the typhoon was from conversations with my friends through Yahoo Messenger. As I logged on to Facebook, I was getting continuous updates on friend's wall on details of the flood. I checked Inquirer.net and other sites but there was hardly any mention. There were reports of the flood, but there wasn't any photos or videos. As the situation got worst, he was telling me their parking lot is flooded and it's still rising. He had to move his car out to higher ground to save it. I asked him to take some photos because he said that it never floods in Ongpin. I couldn't believe it either since the 20 years I've been there, I've never seen it flood higher than one inch. Here he was telling me it's up to his knees. So he took some photos with his iPhone and e-mailed ...
