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.

Kailan - M.Y.M.P.

Lovely rendition of Kailan by M.Y.M.P. From Wikipedia . M.Y.M.P. (or MYMP, short for Make Your Momma Proud) is an acoustic band act from the Philippines, which consists of five members. Their career started when Raymond Ryan, a station manager of iFm watched one of their gigs, and met up with a producer to produce their 2003 debut album, Soulful Acoustic, which has since been certified Platinum. Kailan was original sung by the group Smokey Mountain which had had James Coronel, Geneva Cruz, Jeffrey Hidalgo, and Tony Lambino as its original members. And here's an amazing guitar solo of Kailan by Lex Von Sumayo. Finally, a Bossa Nova version by one of the original members of Smokey Mountain, Jeffrey Hidalgo.

Apple iTunes Store To Open In Philippines

I think this is great news to Filipino artists as they will now be able to sell their music in high quality digital format and hopefully reduce piracy. It will also provide a venue for people to search and browse new music.
