Another reason ay 20 km per hour ang average driving speed natin. This taken from the trip computer from my Chevy Venture. Mataas na ito considering malimit pa akong mag highway - SLEX. Kung pure city driving baka wala pang 10kph, mag lakad na lang o bisikleta.

Naaala ko tuloy noong 1992(not sure) presidential election si Osmena ata yung may sabi na kailangan de-centralized ang pilipinas ibig sabihin eh di lang metro manila ang dapat major hub ng pilipinas...parang tama siya ngayon. bakit ba nag ka-crowd dyan sa manila. pwedeng pwede naman itayo sa mga probinsya ang mga offices and businesses...

Interesting nga. My euro business partners walk and bike a lot. Even the european girls make fun of the fact that pinoys are too spoiled. Could that be the reason why they are developed countries and we aren't? Tamad? Just a question. I remember kasi the oldies talking about a time of more self-reliance. And notice how we slid from being a top asian country?

One time I left my wallet sa bahay tapos di ako nagdala ng car and ang traffic sa Ortigas, I walked from Emerald Ave to my house sa may Santolan (Ligaya)... Pero olats padin ako sa lakaran compared to HK people.
