“We welcome this pero syempre titignan din po natin ito kasi syempre long term ito. ‘Yong mga taong nasa gobyerno ngayon eh dito na nakatira, palilipatin mo ng Clark, that’s another question,” Nebrija said.

GabrielLaluINQ ....people saying this is the Philippines and just accepting the corruption as a norm. Imagine 20-30% per road project. Let us all point fingers and blame in general but not actually do anything about it. Go after the corrupt. The people are suffering because of them.

GabrielLaluINQ I still blame the people for allowing these corrupt politicians and Govt officials to take a percentage on each project. The lack of funding is the main cause for no basic infrasturcture. It is just accepted by the media calling it a ticket and....

After provincial bus ban mess, senators want review of MMDA powers'The reason for the injunction is that the MMDA admitted that they have no power and it belongs to the LGU. It's an opportunity for us to review this particular aspect,' says Senate Minority Leader Franklin Drilon The main problem is that MMDA has too little power. metro manila is basically a pothole-filled EDSA- you have different ordinances to dodge with every city you decide to pass through. Iba rin interpretation ng law w each diff city/PNP/MMDA traffic enforcer Why don't Natl gov't divided working/school days for ALL govt offices, private sectors & schools to decongest MM? Ex.- M-to-W - QC+ 7 other cities; Th-to-Sat- Manila + 7. Working hrs is 8 to 8. This will cut in half vehicles & people on the roads. THE POWER LIES ON DOTARDTE....NOT SENATE, CONGRESS, MMDA, LGU, ETC. THAT IS THE MAIN REASON WHY THE PHILIPPINES IS IN TURMOIL.
