red60 Posted March 8, 2014 Share Posted March 8, 2014 Erap did a good job by banning trucks in Manila streets from 5 am to 9 pm. Erap really doing alot for Manila, the truck/bus ban really helped, now just the kuligligs remains. It depends on how you look at it. If you're a commuter or private car owner, Yes, truck ban helped in easing traffic in Manila. But if you're a business owner relying on imports and/or exports then you'll say no.

They sacrificed so much for this country only for succeeding generations to allow our society to degenerate to such an extent. Quote Link to comment

The present political system is probably just as bad or even worse than the political system of the Philippines in the 19th century. The Spaniards were simply replaced by corrupt politicians and officials. Quote Link to comment

Living conditions for the poorest of the poor today are probably just as bad as their counterparts during the 1800's. Poverty is a prison of sorts whether one lives in a dictatorship or in a modern democracy. Neither system addresses the needs of the marginalized. Quote Link to comment
Bugatti Veyron Posted May 23, 2014 Share Posted May 23, 2014 Saw on the news last night a crackdown on pedicabs plying major roads in Manila. Seems Manila City Hall is sincere in trying to de-congest the city of heavy traffic. Pedicab drivers were interviewed and had the audacity to say that when the time is right, they'd resume operations. There should be a 3 strike rule. The third time they're caught violating the ordinance, their pedicabs should be confiscated in favor of the city government. If only to let these abusive pedicab drivers that the city government is serious. Quote Link to comment

maxiev Posted July 14, 2014 Share Posted July 14, 2014 totally agree. I can't believe I'll say this, but Erap is making progress in Manila.Yeah who would have thought. But I believe he still needs to address the heavy traffic along Roxas Blvd. as a result of all those container trucks exiting the North Harbor. I once got caught up in traffic there and it was awful. Traffic wasn't moving and it literally took several hours just to get home. Normally it takes under one hour to make the trip home but because of the huge traffic jams created by these container trucks, we couldn't really do much but sit back and talk. It would have been much much worse for me if I was alone in the car with no one to speak with. Quote Link to comment
jetrink Posted August 17, 2014 Share Posted August 17, 2014 Erap's best political performance was when he was mayor of san juan. He's really cut out to be a local official, but mediocre to disastrous as a senator and president. Quote Link to comment

Bugatti Veyron Posted May 21, 2015 Share Posted May 21, 2015 What the city hall needs is vigilance and consistency. They do it once, then after doing it, these pedicabs and trikes will traverse the major thoroughfares in Manila once they pay the fine.That's the ninas cogon mentality at work here.
