There are potholes everywhere in Makati City, particularly on the streets of Kamagong, Zapote and Kakarong, the area going to Villamor Base and both lanes of South Superhighway. The presidency may have changed hands but the complaints remain the same. I wonder, where did the road users’ tax go? We taxpayers are not benefiting from it. Who do we turn to for help?—Anna de la Cruz, Makati City
Attention, DENR
A very big and old tree was cut down in front of Jollibee in Barangay Holy Spirit, Quezon City? Shouldn’t that have been reported to the Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR)?—Anonymous, Quezon City
Leaking pipe in Manila
There is a busted pipe at the corner of Abad Santos and Quiricada in Manila. It has been leaking water for more than a month.—Mike, Quezon City
Slippery when wet
Rafael and Ma. Susafe streets in San Antonio Valley 7, Pulang Lupa Dos, Las Piñas City, are perennially flooded because of water leaks. The Mayor’s Office said that the problem should be fixed by Maynilad because it is the water firm’s responsibility but Maynilad denied this. Residents are worried because mosquitoes carrying the dengue disease may end up breeding in the stagnant water. The streets have also become slippery because of moss growing in the area, posing a danger to pedestrians and motorists. Who is responsible for fixing this problem?—Anonymous, Las Piñas City
Road repair in limbo
Gen. Simon Street corner Edsa beside MCU in Caloocan City was dug up in March but up to now, it has not been restored. The area is very dangerous when it rains especially for students who use the street. Attention, Caloocan Mayor Recom Echiverri, please have the road repaired at once.—Dennis Lima, Caloocan City
No discrimination, please
We also pay our taxes but it seems to us that the government fixes only the streets where the affluent live. Is this true?—Mity Chua, Quezon City
