‘Wangwang’ back in fashion

A black Mercedes Benz with plate number XKG 535 was traveling on the southbound lane of EDSA from across SM Megamall.

He made all the motorists stop so that the convoy could pass.

What ‘Sagip Ilog’?

Las Piñas boasts of its Sagip Ilog program but if you should visit the city, you will see that its canals, creeks and lakes are clogged. The city will suffer from floods if its mayor doesn’t do anything.

Lack of discipline

Lack of discipline MRT and LRT commuters have no discipline. They push their way inside the trains even though there are people still going out.

Waste of gov’t money

I always report to the LTFRB reckless taxi drivers, drivers who verbally abuse customers and taxi drivers who insist on charging commuters beyond what is on the meter. And if you don’t want to file a lawsuit and attend hearings, all LTFRB does is file a report. They say they will contact the party involved [...]
