Equipped with more knowledge, definitely - we will be more aware of the natural moral law which drives us to exercise prudence and in spite of an adverse condition - will remain steadfast to our moral path and remain into a upright lifestyle.

But this is not the case in the areas where the poorest of the poor thrives.

The Kuliglig is a symbol of empowerment to these marginalized sector of society.

The privincial kuliglig makes use of a hand tractor with a much longer wheelbase - making it a more stable configuration... however, both kuliglig concept vehicles share the same hazard potential for the average motorist.

Controlling the proliferation of these form of transport needs to be defined further.

These contraptions and it's owners only need a program to follow. But who will take the initiative? Definitely - we cannot expect something from the Government. We have a poor government... except for the people inside. Ironical - but what can come out of a poor government?...

The Recent Ondoy experience clearly shows the government is really poor... only 38 Rubber boats? - DCC needs to manage 1770 islands... almost all Senators has no less than P100M in their pockets. Ironical isn't it?

If these Kuliglig should improve in terms of safety and design/ cosmetic standards... it can only come from the private sector.

Since more Pinoys are more civilized - utilizing NGO's is the best way to attack the problem.

It just popped in my head... during the Ondoys' rampage, Only the Kuligligs were left running in the streets of Manila. Delivering human, good and other services, And nobody seems to take notice of this. Besides... last year, during November 1st, Araw ng mga patay... These Kuligligs are going from Manila to any point in Luzon. Carrying a whole family with their stuff. This site reminds me of the Black and White Pics of America during the Great Depression.

The only difference is... Pinoys can still afford to smile in spite of....
