ive heard that some of the relocation areas are san idelfonso bulacan..(tama ba spelling? layo na samin un eh)

its a farming part of our province. not that im complaining but. the guys moved from riles were put there, and theyre not the "farmers" type...(what is the mayor thinking?)


this is a fact:

subdivisions are putting up fences and checkpoints coz near villages and subdivision are being robbed more often and blaming on the people there...
oh, since its a farming land, malayo din sa facilities..



i mean, they dont like stealing either (if those were true)
pero sana naman, ung pinag lagyan sakanila are habitable para sa lifestyle nila. those are city folks.

di rin naman the "city" type when they started out dun sa riles ah.

 

This is an old article I posted in Multiply back in 2006.  Still rings true in my book.  I do have additional comments now, and I will post them in the appropriate areas.

MY WISHLIST FOR MANILA

I've always been a fan of Paulo Alcazaren's "City Sense" column that appears in the Philippine Star every Saturday. I particularly liked the article last weekend ("The 12 Days of Christmas for the City"), which was basically a wishlist for improving the quality of life in Manila. While I agree with the entire article, it has also moved me to do my own wishlist for Manila. So here it is:

1. Level up the damn LRT/MRT: Right now, the MRT is not as effective as it could be. You've got the LRT lane than runs through Taft, MRT2 that runs through EDSA, and MRT3 that runs through Aurora Boulevard. Kulang, as in.

I'd love to see the planned MRT lanes, such as the proposed lane from Del Monte, Bulacan that will run through Commonwealth Ave, the lane from Cavite that will run through Las Piñas and Pasay, and that lane from Alabang that will run through the South Superhighway. And why stop there? Can't we have MRT stations that lead to Eastwood City, Alabang Town Center, Fort Bonifacio, University Belt (Meron na pala, sowee), Mall of Asia, Malacañang, Greenhills/New Manila, Valle Verde/Greenmeadows, Novaliches, etc, etc, etc? While we're at it, can't we do something about those godforsaken LRT Stations? They look horrible! And I heard about the Northrail/Southrail projects. GO!!!

2. Streamline the commuting system: Right now, we have hundreds of crappy buses, FX and jeeps plying the routes. And if you don't know how bad it can get in the streets, where the hell have you been? The next set of ideas tie up nicely with a more comprehensive MRT system, so be warned:

• Cut down on the number of buses plying EDSA/ South Superhighway. Better yet, let's get all those ugly Japanese/Korean rejected buses and shred them to bits. Wouldn't it be nice to have uniform buses instead of all those sh*t-on-wheels rolling along the metro? (There is a glimmer of improvement here.  I totally dig those new gorgeous, big-*ss buses, such as the Mannrose buses.  There should be more of them.)
  
• Limit Jeepneys to short routes
• FX/Vans can be utilized for longer routes, or better yet, invest in Mini-buses
• Set up more commuting terminals. Something like a nicer version of the Park Square terminal (of varying sizes) placed in strategic spots in and around the Metro, instead of all these makeshift and illegal terminals sprouting all over the place
  
• Let taxis ply more routes, and scatter them around. These taxis are too stuck in the urbanized areas, but they rarely service the suburb areas. Has anybody here tried to get a cab in the South? I rest my case.
• For God's sake, strictly enforce loading/unloading rules
• The biggest Suntok sa Buwan:let the DOT run the whole thing. To hell with the hundreds of transport associations; I say, let the DOT take over, dissolve the associations, streamline everything, and pay the Drivers and Conductors monthly wages and benefits. That last one is my fantasy scenario of sorts; if these guys don't have to depend on boundaries and all that sh*t, you think they will clog up the streets waiting for passengers? No, they won't.  Hell, they'll punch in their hours and be done with it! (And furthermore, all taxi should be Avanzas.  Anybody caught driving a Kia Pride Taxi has to eat his taxi)
  
• Integrate the commuting system with the Airport. Put an MRT lane that starts/terminates at the Airport and interconnects with the other lanes. Put a bus terminal that brings passengers to select locations in the Metro. How's this for a scenario: You can ask to be dropped off at Cubao, Ayala Center, or Alabang terminal, where you can either take a bus to the airport or ride the MRT to get there. Damn, think about it!
  

3. The Airport: Open NAIA 3.Burn NAIA 1 and the Domestic terminal to the ground. Build new structures to interconnect NAIA 2 and 3. Integrate the domestic airport with the international airport. And, as mentioned earlier, integrate the transport system with the airport. I just don't understand why the Domestic Airport has to be so rundown and so far away from the NAIAs. They all share the same damn airfield.

4. Living spaces: I like Alcazaren's idea of rebuilding areas in Metro Manila. There are so many squatter settlements and crappy living areas here, and nobody is doing anything about it. Hey, a word to the politicians: if you really care for these people so much, why not give them better housing, better living conditions? You beautify and streamline the Metro, and these people will vote for you. Win-win.  (The sad thing about this is, it's actually very feasible and realistic.  You could do a compound setup; a series of low-rise condominiums that occupy a limited space.  You can house more people this way, and it looks cool as well.  You open up that land to more development, beautify the general area and improve the quality of life of these squatters.  Chances of this happening?  Ziltch.)

5. Break open the South: The one nice thing about Quezon City is that most of the City is laid out in a grid (somewhat). So, to get to any location, you have two to three possible routes (except Eastwood, of course). Parañaque, Las Piñas, and Muntinlupa? Forget it. These three major cities are straddled by Alabang-Zapote Road and Sucat Road, but only one street connects them to each other. Opening BF Homes to public traffic helps, but it's not enough. My idea is a bit radical: Cut BF Homes up with intersecting streets that connect Alabang-Zapote Road to Sucat Road. Buy off the properties that stand in the way and make national roads that cut through it. BF Homes is too big anyway, and it can afford to be cut down to size. It's practically cut up within anyway.

Bottomline is, Alabang will be the next Makati. It may happen next year, in five years, in ten, but it will happen. Can you imagine how bad traffic will be when that happens? It's crappy enough now as it is.

6. More Parks: Enough said.

7. Revitalize Intramuros: It's the only tourist attraction in Metro Manila worth its weight in gold. There are efforts to beautify the place, but if I had my way, I'd pull out the residents as well (or, at least, make them live somewhere nicer, and make them wear shirts). Let it remain as a tourist destination and a venue for small and medium sized businesses. And let's rebuild some portions of the place to make it look like how it used to back in its heyday. I agree with Carlos Celdran, Intramuros is Manila's soul, and it's still shattered. Let's fix it.

8. Make Metro Manila more attractive for foreign investors: Improving the basic infrastructure of the city, and building more expo centers, business parks, and stuff like that will help. But it will take more than a few nice streets and shiny buildings to fully improve foreign confidence in this country.  It will take a concerted effort by the public and the private sector to get things going.

9. Fight for the Arts: If there's one thing I have to give credit to the Marcoses for, it would be the CCP Complex. Because, seriously, no other institution has done so much for the arts than that one coup-de-grace. We need more theaters, more galleries, more performance venues. For God's sake, we are one of the most creative, artistic, and talented people in the world, and we don't even have enough venues for us to prove it! Hello!

10. Fight for Literacy: More schools. More libraries. Higher quality of education. Change the f*cking curiculum. This is such a no-brainer, that I don't understand why it hasn't happened yet.

And last of all:

Let's change the way we think: As long as we're after the quick buck, as long as we're only looking out for ourselves, as long as we remain indifferent towards Manila, we will never get anywhere. The most important component of any city, any country, is its people. We can have all the facilities in the world, but as long as we remain myopic, unimaginative, selfish, and greedy, it will all be for nothing.

I know times are rough, I know that it makes more sense to pack up and immigrate somewhere else, but we can't all leave. This city needs us. It needs our talents, out creativity, our passion. Most of all, it needs our love. As for me, I'm staying here to fight. How about you?

Level up the damn LRT/MRT --> lessen corruption. kaya walang may gustong mag-invest masyado sa pinas e. para tayong morocco (pero hindi masyado. hahaha)

Open NAIA 3. --> i think they are starting to open this. gorgeous place. my mom's classmate designed the building.

Living spaces --> money off the politician's pocket? =) sayang ang pork barrel. pampanood pa nila ng pacquiao fight yun.

Fight for the Arts --> this is good. i mean the last time i heard they were fixing metropolitan theater (daw). i'm not sure kung may nangyari na dito. when i was in my elementary and high school years, maraming plays dito...

Fight for Literacy. --> asa pa tayo... =). kung mag-allot lang ang precious decs (hahaha... deped na pala) ng precious mollah para sa mga teachers, kung lumaki lang ang pay nila... private sector teachers will surely make lipat to the public schools... ergo, better teaching. ang loser na ng mga public schools natin e (paano pa yung mga private? hehehe.)

... personally sana bumalik yung may pakelam ang "youth" sa nangyayari sa pinas. imagine the population of our youth. kung 80 or even 50 percent nito may pakelam. that would be nice. but that is just me.

@lei
di naman nila masyado na-maintain eh. i think they're just squeezing evry last bit of use they can squeeze out of it, while they still can.

@cow
i think they're starting na dun sa mrt along commonwealth. at least yun ung sabi-sabi

To save on fuel, many taxi operators are converting their cabs to hybrids with an LPG-based system. LPG is relatively cheap compared to gasoline.

Even Makati Jeepney operators are also switching to LPG.

Now that you mentioned it, Direk, I checked a back issue of TopGear and according to the cover feature, Hyundai is making Elantras that run on diesels. Though they should make diesel compact sedans (like the Corolla, Vios and Nissan Sentra) cheaper so Taxi operators can replace their corolla/sentra/pride fleets with them.

This reminds me of the Gemini diesel cabs back when School Bukol and TODAS were running on IBC. If only they could adapt these Elantras to run on Biodiesel.

However, other than Batt-powered Electric cars (which may mean an extra profit for Meralco for charging them and would cause NAPOCOR power plants to drink more coal and bunker fuel), Synthetic gas/diesel (which may drive up food prices as lands are devoted to biofuel-ingredient crops and still produce greenhouse gases) what is said to be the most promising alternative propulsion system for motor vehicles would be Hydrogen fuel cells whose only waste product is water vapor.

If only on EDSA you could bike from Cubao to Makati and back without fear of being squished by decrepit buses, heavy-haul trucks and speedjunkies who love to get past 120 Kph on their converted drag/drift racers.

What we all need is more imagination. The Marcoses may be the biggest bastards ever to rule this land, but you can't deny they had vision.

the efficiency of how they adapt counts. Why do you think some of the filipino people is poor? One of it is because some are lazy. You are talking about an ideal setting that if ur the masipag and matyaga type, you wont be poor. Pero wake up call, not everybody is like that. Not only people from squatter rural areas. But one of the factors in poverty is plain laziness. Even rock hard workers are poor but thats another story.

why dont they have jobs? I believe most if not all of them is hardworking. Why do you see big lean men is happy with just drinking? Opportunities for them in the city are greater than provinces. (-im pertaining to city folks)

And youre comparing it to urban areas? One of which they dont have any ideas how to adapt to yet? Or the one they left when theyre young. They already had an advantage in the city yet they fail to see it. How much more in a different playing field?

All Im saying in the first place is why they put city folks in such a different place. Its like putting a goldfish in salt water.


@Mr. B: ive learned that E-jeeps are quite expensive coz of the electric motor its using. Plus the charging time are long too since it uses DC. Its made to run at a top speed of 60kph, perfect for city operation. Not too fast and not too slow. Problem is the batteries. Maximum of 8 hours of operating time before a 2-4 hr charge. DLSU has this solar panel system that uses feedback to extend battery life but again its expensive.
I believe people will have a hard time to acquire these machines at regular means. Unless the government step up and take the initiative to have a program in obtaining it for them.

also im not a marcos fan pero what they want the PH to be is really grand. nuke powerplants (i agree using them), this element i forgot. its like compressed water that produces crazy amount of hydrogen that can be used as clean energy. its abandoned though...

Makati have some Ejeeps diba?

@ms. Lei: plenty of REALLY old busses are in STA cruz. The mini ones going to novaliches and sapang palay. Its tilted already. One time the conductor yelled: o! kabig muna tayo sa kanan!!liliko tayo. Bka tumagilid! I dropped my other lung that day.

kelan ba naging effective ang project ng government? Let's DOH It? MAD?

So asan na yung "suppossedly" na other money na dapat ginagamit for projects?

Anyhoo...

reaction lang... hindi po entire DLSU ang gumastos nung Solar Panel na yun, pasalamat sila masipag yung mga teachers at students.

Hear, hear cow. Hindi ako galit sa tao o sa mahirap pero unfair practice talaga ang squatting. Ang nakakatawa kasi most of the poor blame everything else kung bakit sila ganun. Sobrang gamit na gamit na yung ganung words.

Parang si L, I blame him for being so pogi, kaya lab ko sya.

Oi, in fairness, the "Let's DOH it" campaign worked quite well.

Yuo, Makati has tested their E-jeeps. 50 of them are already on the road, and they're serving Legspi and Salcedo Villages. They're locally made too, so it's presumably cheaper to make. As expected, there are skeptics who say jeepneys are eyesores altogether and should be removed instead. I say let's still give these jeeps a try.

• Level up LRT/ MRT - considering the price of gasoline nowadays, kelangan talaga improve na ito. There will come a time na LAHAT tau talaga naka LRT / MRT going to work or to wherever we go to. Also, kung improve nila ito, sana naman matuloy na ung proposed plan na pahabain ung Santiolan LRT na umabot hanggang  Cogeo, para isang sakayan lang me sa Masinag, nasa Recto na ako, LOL. Also, kung improve na ung LRT/ MRT, sana ung ticketing churva, gayahin ng tuulad sa LRT Santolan, ung ticket dispensing machines. Kasi mas madali pag ganun. OK sana ung project, kasi nga layo ng mararating nun, kaso ung pera naman, napunta sa mga bad na mga politician or mga minsan nakaupo dyan sa pwesto eh. Would you believe under huge debt daw mga taga MRT? I have no idea why, pero ung nangyari ata eh korapsyon ulet. Ganun din nangyayari sa South at North Expressway eh. Ung utang ng PNOC dun ipinapasa sa mga nagtetake ng mga routes na un, which shouldn't be. Improvement, sana palakihin nila coaches ng MRT that runs through EDSA, been there through different rush hour times, pakiramdam mo swimming ka talaga dun with the people. Also, me reasons kaya minsan weird ung placement ng stations. I don't know anu criteria nila for that, but it happens. And then, di rin lagi asikaso mga elevators dun for the disabled, tapos halos lahat ng stations, stairs lang ang the only way up. Exercise nga, pero kung matanda ka naman na at kung sira pa elevator at naka crutches ka na, panu naman mga un di ba. Dapat me escalator din para sa mga un, lahat dapat me escalator, para pag sira elevator, me easier way para makaakyat sa taas.
• Streamlining the commuting system - maganda nga na ganun sana, kaso rin naman, majority ng bus companies cannot really afford to get new buses, kaya pinagtyatyagaan na lang ung mga leftovers ng ibang Asian neighbors natin. Alam mo naman tau mga Pinoy, basta natakbo pa sa 4 na gulong, maayos pa rin yan. That is where our true ingenuity shines. Isa pa, ung lahat ng mga sasakyan na ply through sa major thoroughfares, forgivable naman sila kung kakarag karag na, basta lang ba maayos ung tune up nila lagi sa sasakyan nila, di ung amoy usok din sa loob ng bus. check din nila lagi ung mga engine nila para di masyado makaitim ng air. Then I would really want to have the FX taxis to install an airconditioning unit like those found in vans, there are times na sobrang init sa tanghali ang hihina ng aircon. Di excuse ung hanggang ganun lang kaya ng aircon. We pay them 30 pesos to be able to afford a taxi ride like that, babaratin pa nila sa pag ayos ng serbisyo nila. Nagawa nila patakbuhin mga sasakyan nila, they can DO something about the airconditioning. Di sa maarte ako ha, kaso think of the passengers kunyari na hikain o madali mahilo sa likod. Di rin naman kasi lagi mapagbigay mga pasahero sa likod, ung tao sa tapat ng aircon, nakatapat sa kanya ung aircon. Teka, nagbayad din ako 30 pesos para dyan ha??! in fairness to the taxi drivers, me mga times na makakatyempo ka ng mababait na driver, me tyempo na hindi. Buti na lang medyo me naranasan ako mababait mga driver. Sometimes kasi kaya minsan dinadaya nila ung metro nila, grabe na kasi ung kaltas sa boundary nila, tapos ung gasolina pa, anu na matitira para sa kita nila nun? And then they go out on 24 hour shifts bago sila makapagpahinga. So it's reasonable na hingi sila ng dagdag na 20 to 50 pesos. Pero syempre naman kung ala pa 10 minuto at 80 pesos na ung nasa metro mo, aba ibang usapan na yan. style din kasi ng mga driver minsan na pag sense nila ala alam pasahero nila, idadaan ka sa me trapik para lalo taas metro. If you know a shortcut, insist that they take the shortcut. Educating the drivers is also key to lessening traffic sa major thoroughfares. Majority ng jeepney drivers don't know what the traffic signs mean. Then, there's teh added problem of the tong cops and MMDA's. They usually don't bother jeepney drivers until lunch time na. And I find ung rule na dapat tanggalin ung signboard ng FX pag puno na WEIRD.  I mean, what the heck could a signboard do that is going against the law?
• Airport - me reason naman kasi kaya pinaghiwalay ang international at domestic airports. Imagine kasi kunyari pinagsama ung 2 un, chaos will ensue. Ang panget kasi, masyado sila malayo sa isa't isa. Sinundo ko nanay ko galing Cebu, akala ko sa NAIA 3 or whatever that terminal's called, ung bago, dun pala sa Domestic bagsak ng flight nya, so my brother and I have to take another jeep and cost me another 2 times worth of short trip jeepney fare (7 pesos pa nun so 14 kami ng brother ko). Di pwede walkway dun, siguro ung parang sa Makati ung mga underpass pwede.  
• Living space - dapat kasi din educate ung mga tao about what really is good and what really is bad in the city. Ang panget kasi sa atin, medyo super centralized lahat ng mga major businesses at major government offices sa Manila. Lagi kasi isip ng mga tao from the provinces, madali makakita ng pera sa Manila. Kung super centralized na ganun government natin, eh talaga naman totoo na ganun nga isipin nila. Saka ang panget din sa atin, kung anu ikinaganda ng agricultural sector sa ibang bansa, sa atin binabarat pa natin ung mga farmers sa kinikita nila. Their governments really help the farmers out, and they are actually wealthier than our own farmers. We are instead looking at our country as an IT country ganyan, ung pinag iigihan ung mga assets natin sa foreign investors. Assets??! We are really rich in assets, kaso iba naman ung gumagamit at yumayaman dahil sa mga un. And we forget the simple truth that we are an agricultural country talaga. Dati, sa atin pa try mag learn Thailand at Vietnam, ngaun tau pa umaangkat rice sa kanila. Dapat i decentralize ung government para lumuwag ung living at breathing space sa Metro Manila, at saka dapat talaga madisiplina mga tao, di ung sari-sariling papogihan. I really think the 500 peso allowance for the Meralco thingy is ridiculous. Lalo lang matututo mga tao maging dependent sa hingi hingi nyan. Filipinos are always proving they're resilient and very creative and we always survive like in the Gloria Gaynor song, pero minsan talaga it falls short. ARRGH! Mas masaya pa nga mabuhay sa probinsya kasi tahimik at di ka magugutom dun kasi madami pwede gawin dun. Dito, it's a dog eat dog world.
• Break open the South - it's a cool idea, kaso kasi, merun na me mga may ari ng mga streets dun. They could try doing something like what happened in C 5. Mahal ang Skyway. Pag umulan malakas, grabe traffic sa mga daan na un kasi nga un lang ung daanan eh. Ung me medyo galing Cavite, ganyan. Opening BF Homes is a bad idea. We had that problem here sa subdivision namin nun, notorious kasi ung main avenue papunta sa me Marikina sa amin na bumaha ng todo todo pag umulan lang ng kunti. So dumating ung point na open ung subdivision namin nun. Kaso since di built for heavy traffic ung roads ng subdivision main, nasira. Naging delikado sa mga bata nun maglaro kasi continuous flow of traffic, kahit alang baha, nag shoshortcut sa subdivision namin, me jeep pa naman na kaskasero mga dumadaan. Then since dumadaan din mga tricycles dun pag baha, naging prevalent naman nakawan, lalo nung bukas pa ung suibdivision namin sa kabilang barangay. If it's to be opened, dapat "fortify" ung roads, bayaran ng milyones ung mga nakatira sa sasagasaan dun, and make sure na di maging grounds un for nakawan galore like what happened sa amin.
• More parks - cool, sana di lang sobra corrupt magpapatayo at maintain nun para maintain talaga maganda ung parks.  Maganda marining ang lawiswis ng  dahon ng mga puno pag mahangin tapos andun ka nakaupo sa me sala nyo.
• Revitalize Intramuros - this should REALLY happen before lumubog na un pagtaas ng tubig na pwede rin makapaglubog sa MOA. What I really love about Japan is because they really take good care of all their cultural treasures, mga wooden buildings they made it last up to 1,000 years because of careful preservation and dedicated watch over them. They also teach the importance of their past and cultural heritages to the young. Dito, since rampant ang Westernization na "bad", alang gusto matuto ng Filipino things cause they think it's so baduy. Ganun din trato natin sa language natin. I propose to make alibata the national alphabet, not the heavily borrowed alphabet that we have. This also goes for the Filipino youth to learn so much about our artistic heritage, we have a lot to be proud of!
• Literacy - the degrading English proficiency of our new graduates are showing the effects of a degrading educational system that we have. Di solusyon din kasi na pahabain ung years para maging educated ung isang bata; ung ating current grade system (Kinder to High School Year IV) is very short in comparison to our neighboring Asian countries like Japan. Aside from Nursery hanggang grade 6, they have junior high school, tapos me senior high school pa sila, before makatuntong ng university (and university entrance tests and the need to pass are another thing entirely sa context nila dun). Me proposals na gusto pahabain ung school year, kaya wag ka na magulat me nakikita ka na pumapasok sa public school nearest you kahit Sabado na. The thing also is andami natin napasok sa grade 1, kaso disproportionate din ung natatapos sa kolehiyo, kasi napipilitan sila tumigil mag aral sa hirap ng buhay, then sa insistence ng mga magulang na help sila sa pagtrabaho para maiangat mga kapatid nila na iba. Which is well and good in a sense, pero minsan kasi, nagiging selfish na minsan ung rule na un. Kaya minsan nanghihinayang ako sa mga bata na nagbebenta sa labasan para tulungan parents nila. They should be out studying and playing like normal kids do. Di excuse ung kasi ala silang pera, alam nilang ala na nga silang pera, un pa lagi idadahilan nila pag nagkakagulo na buhay nila, kaya nanghihingi ng limos sa mga tao. Me limit din ung pagiging indulgent natin sa mga un, kasi we're not helping them. If they are not educated about opportunities thet could be had or not had in Manila, the squatter problem will rise, the poverty level will rise. Basic necessities sa mga NGO, nagkakahirapan, lalo na din sa mga government agencies, kasi ibinubulsa ung pondo na dapat din para sa mga un. Kung transparent mga tao at disiplinado, we may be part of the G 8 by now talaga and we don't need to send OFWs abroad to do our dirty work for us to make our country afloat sa current crisis ngaun. Also, all our best teachers and ediucators are there in the US, so sadly, we're left with dregs.      

The thing is, it is not the indifference to Manila. Napatunayan naman time and again, even in the song ng Hotdog band ba un, na we will always come back to Manila. It's always been a part of ourselves cause we're Filipino. Education really is teh key, discipline really is teh key. Foreign investors can't really do anything that much if we continue living like we are right now. Saka di naman talaga incvestments minsan nangyayari eh. Utang for development projects pa rin  smartly disguised as investments, lol. Before such huge investments could be made, dapat magutang pa rin tau para magawa un right? Kasi we really can't do anything for ourselves in this point in time. Which is sad really, for Filipinos who are really working hard like you, psychoCOW, for other Filipinos to be proud of who we are. :D  kaya AJAAAAAAAAAAAA kaya natin to MGA PINOY~~~!!!

PS. tuloy pa ba dokyu?

Just to show you that we aren't alone...

http://hundredyearshence.blogspot.com/2008/07/hope-for-city.html

kaya nakahiwalay ang international at domestic kasi maliit ang international airport natin and it caters to a lot of countries (to and fro). i believe naka-integrate yung airport sa may cebu kaya high-falluting ang facilities (compared to our domestic airport in pasay, ay dyosko. kapanget. hindi lang in terms of what it looks like, pero yung loob, parang perya lang sa boom na boom)

regarding the integration, diba diba diba ang japan naka-integrate na yung mass transit nila? i mean sa urban area? as in magkakadikit na dahil sa subway yata (pag ako pumunta ng japan, masasagot ko na to ng totoo). then sa probinsya, you either take a walk or ride a bike.

kaya naman tayo nagrereact ng ganito dahil nasa manila tayo, kung pumunta tayo sa probinsya hindi tayo magrereact na sana yung train nang ganito nakadikit sa singit ni alfredo lim, etc. how about the residents who live in the rural areas (or provinces) are you having the same problem regarding mass transportation? (hahaha. hindi ko na alam yung pinag-uusapan natin kung manila lang ba or whatnot)

regarding taxis, nakapunta na kayo ng baguio? nung 2001 kasi may certain rule dun na you just have to pay how much the meter is telling you. oonga, tipid sila sa aircon, pero naman, kawawa yung makina ng mga fx dun. dahil bondok sya.

if i may add, reforestation and pangangalaga ng ating mga natural resources including air and water (and land... pero sinabi ko na yung reforestation... pero is it deforestation or reforestation, sensya na mahina sa ingrish. pero hindi ko pa ininclude yung sa land para sa mga hayop). sana pati ito mapansin natin.

pati cleanliness campaign din! tag-ulan na. baha mode na naman ba tayo?

bwahaha. nagkakalat na ko dito.
