MAPILI Wed, 25 Jan 2012 17:46:16 +0000 http://www.duckyparedes.com/blogs/2012/01/25/going-nowhere-the-cjs-cash-advance/#comment-4662 Metro Manila has highly saturated traffic even during non-peak hours. I think road widening would not be effective to ease the worsening traffic congestion. The main problem in Metro Manila is that there are too many private vehicles, while public transportation is not well managed. To relieve traffic congestion in Metro Manila, the Metro Manila Development Authority (MMDA) must call for office and school hours to be staggered accordingly. It is suggested that school starting hours be staggered according to level, where elementary and pre-schools start at 5:00 a.m., and those in high school and college at 7 a.m. in order to ease rush hour traffic snarls. On the other hand, it is further suggested that office starting hours be likewise staggered wherein majority of government offices shall be from 9:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m., while those in private offices from 11:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. Mall hours should be from 12 noon to 12 midnight. Another suggestion to address the chronic traffic congestion in Metro Manila is to improve the traffic management by strictly implementing traffic rules and regulations not only against erring drivers but also against stubborn pedestrians who refuse to use pedestrian lanes and sidewalks. Strictly implement “No jaywalking” and construct more overpasses or underpasses. Likewise strictly implement “No loading/unloading” and designate bus/jeep stops at least one (1) kilometer apart and construct more sidewalks with fences on the side. Also strictly implement “No parking” along national roads and encourage every barangay to have pay parking area or pay car park buildings. Let us revive the 70’s “Sa ikauunlad ng bayan, disiplina ang kailangan.” Metro Manila has highly saturated traffic even during non-peak hours.

May i furnish u some information on why so many perished during the sendong floods: 1. In CagDeOro, there are these so-called "Islas" right at the middle of the river waterways which is occupied by human beings accomodated by CDO Mayor Donkoy Emano.. these occupants translate to one vote each during elections... 2. Irresponsible and corrupt logging privileges sent down with the raging river waters huge cut logs from upstream wrecking anything along its path . . . 3. One european country is able to contain sea water from rushing to its shores, a similar feat is just a dream vis-a-vis Philippine setting.... corruption in high places derail the realization of infrastructure projects that can benefit masses of population, the lack of political will and too much politics adds insult to injury...God Bless This Country Greetings.

Ang nais ko pong ipahiwatig sana ay talasan at laliman ng mga opisyales ng AFP sa Basilan at Mindanao ang kanilang mga Intelligence efforts, tulad ng mga naging pinuno nuon sa Mindanao na sila Commodore Gil Fernandez, Gen. Pedro Zafra, Gen. Magno, Gen. Biazon na respetado ng mga tao at kinatatakutan ng mga rebelde dahil alam nila ang takbo ng utak ng mga Field Commander ng MNLF na ang iba ay patraydor kung lumaban tulad ng ginawa kay Gen Bautista sa Patikul, Jolo na inimbitahan kunwari ng kanyang kumpare at saka minasaker kasama ang mahigit isang daang tauhan. Sana ay palakasin nila ang ground information at mag validate ng impormasyong kanilang tinatanggap. Ang Basilan ay pugad ng mga Yakan, Banaran at Tausug na karamihan ay mga Bandido at Pirata, kasama na ang mga lost command ng MILF at Abu Sayyaf. Alam ko po yan dahil marami po akong kamaganak na mga Christian settlers dyan noon (mga Rubber plantation farmers at workers nila Menzi at Brown at BF Goodrich. Nag alisan po sila dahil alam nilang traydoran ang labanan diyan at kailangan ang gulang sa labanan ika nga. Please, wag po ninyo akong pagalitan dahil po talagang naawa po ako sa mga sundalo natin na kamaganak ko pa po ang iba. Namatayan na po ako ng maraming pinsan at pamangkin sa Mindanao at alam ko po kung papaano mawalan ng mahal sa buhay na sundalo. Pasensya na po pero kulang talaga sa frontline intel efforts ang mga opisyal natin sa Basilan.</p> Sir:

How can he prove his worth if in the first place he's not given the power to perform his duties and responsibilities at the commission. Pnoy has seen his potentials otherwise he won't be appointed as such. Furthermore, Brillantes was able to maintain his good reputaion as an election lawyer for the longest time which only proves his integrity as a person.
