Cars take over road
Road anarchy is tolerated at the corner of Irasan and Naia Roads in Las Piñas City. Half of the thoroughfare is being used as a parking area by Gedcor Square tenants. The parked vehicles pose a danger to the safety of motorists and pedestrians.—Tohnee Austria, Las Piñas City
Residents wait in vain
Please call the attention of Quezon City Mayor Herbert Bautista to the perennial flooding on Malumanay street in Teachers Village. The city engineering office had recommended the rehabilitation of the whole drainage system in the area to the past administration but despite several letters, nothing happened. We were told that there were no funds for the project estimated to cost at least P7 million. Then Manila Water dug up our street and now the drainage system is totally clogged. As a result, every time it rains, the street is flooded. When Metro Manila was hit by Tropical Storm “Ondoy,” the flood on our street was waist-high. In the meantime, maybe the city government can declog the drainage system. Maawa naman kayo (Have mercy on us)!—Divina Serrano, Quezon City
Smoke-belching bus
I would like to report for smoke belching a JMK Transit Bus with plate number TVW 841.—Julieta Mariano, Quezon City
No room for people
Attention MMDA and Quezon City Hall. A garage repairing motorcycles on Road 8 in Bagong Pagasa, Quezon City, is doing all its work on the sidewalk and street. Pedestrians are forced to walk on the road because they can’t use the sidewalk.—Pedro Zabala, Quezon City
