The Manila bus ban - will Isko and Erap lose if elections were held today?

Social and political criticisms

Rizal  | PHL  |  July 30, 2013

The bus ban in Manila is clearly a big issue now because it is inconveniencing a lot of commuters:  students and workers, well mostly from suburbs and from Manila too.  The irate public would surely express their displeasure by not voting the two top guns in Manila if elections were held today.

The question again is who has the right to grant or remove franchise from utility companies:  the LGU or the franchising body?

It has also become a turf battle?  Who wins or loses is immaterial in this turf war:   the general public is the loser
