For me, the long-term solutions are still the following:

1. De-congest Metro Manila by promoting establishments of businesses in the countryside
2. Build more roads (which means biting the bullet and buying up/exrpopriating private property) and bridges/underpasses
3. A more draconian phaseout of old PUBs/PUJs --- meaning 10 years old and older
4. Increase taxes in registrations of older private vehicles at least 10 years and older
5. Have a quota system for franchises for all PUBs/PUJs so the number of those plying the roads are controlled. This means revoking those which were granted, if necessary.
6. Do a 2-line subway system from Pampanga to Batangas
