MANILA, Philippines – Award-winning writer Eric Cabahug recently shared a piece of good news to commuters in the Metro – the newly expanded sidewalk at the MRT-3 Ortigas station northbound.

The situation was so bad a “stop-and-go” enforcer had to be deployed to control foot traffic last year.

“Is this the “sidewalk”? That place where you walk sideways?” a Facebook user quipped.

“While this is highly appreciated, it’s also a bit saddening that we’re praising these political [and] corporate leaders for doing the bare minimum,” a third netizen stated.
