Social and political criticisms
PHL September 10, 2013
We had a meeting in downtown Manila last night and traffic and commuting were a nightmare. Travel time from Espana to our place took four hours. We left the UST area by 730 and we were home by 11:30.
A lot of commuters were seen to be walking : along Espana, Ortigas Ave and Ortigas Ext.. Traffic was hardly moving at all avenues and roads and we wonder what was happened?
Later on we learned from the TV: that Kris Aquino and Manny Pacquiao took the train on the way to an engagement; that basketball players walked from Corinthian to Araneta center because the traffic stood still.
Was it traffic management? Did the rains cause the traffic jams?
How come we had the traffic ground to standstill? Can anybody explain the cause and how to solve this?
