Core cause of traffic

Social and political criticisms

Makati, PHL | 8:00 am February 4, 2013

I drove for my daughter early this morning at 5:30 to bring her to Makati; I managed to get her to Makati at 7:30 am and came back to my town at about 9:00 am. The reason? There was too much traffic.

While there were many causes like parked vehicles along the major route, funeral tents along the major thoroughfares, tricycle terminals at the choke points, very clearly, infrastructures are needed to solve the problem. Major choke points were: the narrow bridge at floodway just before Cambridge, and the Bagong Ilog flyover just before the Kalayaan crossing. Traffic was hardly moving at the Makati bound side.

Just as Roubini suggested, these could be addressed soon to speed up our progress and sustain our growth?

LTO Asec blames supply chain for delayed vehicle license plates

Social and political criticisms

Rizal Philippines | February 4, 2013

In a radio interview with Asec V. Torres of LTO at DZRH, it was learned that the delayed delivery of vehicle license plates was attributed to non conformance of suppliers to standards: paints that peel off and those that have air bubbles when painted due to below specs metal plates.

The DOTC conducts the bidding and the user is LTO; in other words, LTO does no have control over suppliers; the mother unit DOTC has control. Although the DOTC has been informed.....

Backlog is at 8 months and it is expected that suppliers will reform and that the plates will be delivered.

What do you think of this management practice at DOTC?

How can LTO really serve the public?

Does the President know of this problem? Ito ba ay "Tuwid na Daan"

However many problems all delays and petty corruption came in that must be addressed

Medical missions, do they really help?

Social and political criticisms

What do you think of medical missions? Are they functional? Do they really help?

When I was younger, and was member of civic organizations, we loved doing medical missions. Several decades later, the model for promoting health has not changed. It is still medical missions

I asked some doctors and they said the surgery help but not the usual dx and check up; they just get the free drugs and vitamins. And pharmas just donate about to expire drugs.

Well we thank them for their generosity. But the giving and the CSR has to be rethought.

Does mm encourage mendicancy?
