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 problem is, the poor gets poorer and the rich gets richer in the Philippines because of complete incompetency and massive corruption by all levels of government. The only thing that will solve the poverty problem is to have a growing economy that benefits everyone and an education system to will elevate the future of these children.
