Appointment of Gen Torre as new MMDA GM

It is more fun criticizing

The Palace recently announced the appointment of Gen Nicolas Torre as the new GM of MMDA. He was teh former chief of PNP but was replaced due to disagreement with Napolcom over the reassignment of some officers

Whats next?  Expect a hard hitting military like governance?  Action agad.  Results oriented.   Less or more traffic, floods?

Spate of traffic accidents from undisciplined drivers; traffic jams too caused by the same problem

There was a recent feature of pasaway drivers:   MC, AUV, and SUV who counterflow causing more traffic jams and accidents.   The MMDA experts say that this against the law and must be stopped .  They plan to field more traffic constable.  Enforcement is the key

Discipline is key to nation building  Just look at Singapore.  Litteirng, graffiti and chewing gum are prohibited. They have many dos and donts.  But look at their wealth and progress.  How about the Philippines.  Uunlad ba tayo?

It is my experience too that motorists do not stop at pedestrian lanes.  So pedestrians beware. Just because there is a pedestrian lane, will it mean that vehicles trucks, jeeps, MC, private vehicles will stop.  Even if there was a traffic enforcer.  You risk being run over if you cross the lane if there are plenty of vehicles coming

Beware

There is another lover - Warren Cristobal of MMDA

Repost from Kickerdaily

In another development, Senator J who was incarcerated in prison mainly due to the protagonist, shared a picture of one of the lovers of now very popular politician  He is allegedly to be Warren Cristobal working at MMDA. He owns a fleet of cars. (Whoaa)

There was even a picture of him (in black jacket) pouring water on the personality. (from a bucket)

Di nasiyahan sa isa?  O break na sila.   Smorgasbord of sausages. She can afford with all the wealth she has.

MMDA conducts campaign vs illegally parked vehicles at C5, soon at Floodway in Cainta and Taytay?

From CNN - MMDA impounds illegally parked vehicles at Aurora Blvd

TV news show the MMDA clearing operations towing illegally parked vehicles along C5  JP Rizal and Kalayaan.  Many of the residents complain about the clearing operations and yet the law prohibits such parking. This is also one of the causes of the horrendous traffic we experience lately.
Residents:

1.  Must be sure they have parking when they buy vehicles;  they must make sure that the road where the other taxpayers money was spent must be used properly ie for the passage of vehicles passage;

2.  Obey the laws;

3.  Cooperate with the rest of the population who suffer inconvenience when they park illegally.

HPG and the police and the LGUs must follow suit and conduct their incessant campaign vs illegal parking.  Cainta and Taytay must clear Floodway of such illegally parked vehicles.  It was widened and then the vehicle owners used the widening for their garages.

This should also happen in floodway.  Mayors and HPG, let us act on the obstruction at floodway

New color coding will not ease traffic; will increase number of cars and congestion

I was talking to former DE at DPWH and she was all praises to Sec. Singson of DPWH for being a real mission oriented cabinet official and she has he concern over the proposed MMDA vehicle color coding scheme. (limited to EDSA only?)  Here are her concerns:

l.  Those cars who have 3 same numbers will be exempted (and there would be about 5% in the said situation

2.  Those who have livelihood using vehicles will surely be having reduced income and that is bad;

3.  This will result in the rich buying more cars (for the extra day they will be out of the street and request for a number not falling on their 2nd color coding);  there will be more cars instead of having less.  On a day that they are not covered, there will be 3 more vehicles in the street.

Can they not think of something else?

The skyway or widening the streets will be more welcome solution?

Heavy traffic last night?!!#

Social and political criticisms

Last night was a rush hour time and it was maybe by default a traffic fraught night.

A major thoroughfare was jammed last night.  However lo and behold, when we reached the intersection, the traffic was merely caused by jeepneys who used the intersection as their terminal.

What in the world?

Since the traffic enforcers or policemen were all ready off, the drivers can violate the traffic rules/laws with impunity.

Can we not have enforcers on staggered duty even late at night?  It is good income for them anyway.  With overtime and.....

Just get rid of those unruly drivers.

Improve our mass transport.  Guys at DOTC. MMDA (please)  PNP  (Manila City hall)

Let us help our country move forward.  Traffic wastes health and gas.
