Santacruzans, Fiestas, Liga, etc.

Kaninang umaga bigla na lang nagising mga kids because of a very loud noise. Yun pala fireworks and ati-atihan lang ng isang barangay not very near from us. Nung sinilip ko sa labas sobrang traffic na sa and 6:30 pa lang ng umaga.

Saka ko lang na-realized na Mayo na pala... Time na for a month-long suffering from traffic jam and loud noises late at night and early in the morning!

Almost every year (mostly on saturdays) na lang, I experience being stuck in heavy traffic dahil sa dami ng Santacruzan. Almost every barangay and puroks yata kasi may kanya kanyang Santacruzan. Last year, inabot ako ng 1 hr to get home when it would normally take only 10 mins. and the reason is around 6 groups ng Santacruzan ang nadaanan ko kaya halos wala talagang malusutan.

Minsan naman may nagpaparade sa labas na kung-todo ati-atihan pa. Pag tingin mo, basketball liga lang pala ng isang barangay and they blocked off the road causing heavy traffic!

I have nothing against tradition pero sana ilagay nila sa ayos. Coordinate naman nila sana sa mga local officials para hindi magsabay sabay and di magka buhol buhol ang traffic. Or better yet, pagsamahin na lang sana nila yung mga mini Santacruzan ng bawat barangay and make it a one grand procession para mas masaya and isahang abala na lang.

Sir, malamang hindi lang kayo nakakaranas ng ganyang experience.....

Ang mapapayo ko lang is, tiis muna at hindi mo naman puwede isumbong yan sa barangay or any officials......

Just go on with the tradition na lang.....

isama mo na pati yun libing ng patay, at yun pagsasara ng roxas blvd kapag may activity or event doon......... i have nothing against these celebrations pero sana naman may paabiso or signage at rerouting para naman hindi masyadong abala sa mga dumadaan lalo na kung walang alternative route.....

Ayun, about an hour ago may parada na naman

Ang mga pumarada:

1. A group of gay ati-atihan (around 12 pax)
2. A group wearing t-shirt na nakasulat na Richard Lontoc and carrying a banner with his picture (around 20 pax). Sino sya????!!!! Campaigning early?
3. and this band;

Result: Heavy traffic on both sides of the street

Traditions that needs to be scrapped. We don't need useless things like these. It's already 2009, not 500 A.D..

I agree! napapansin ko kasi kapag may mga ganitong kaganapan eh walang paghahanda na ginagawa lalo na kung masasagasaan yun mga daanan. ni hindi man lang maglagay ng paabiso, bigla na lang isasara yun kalsada. kung maglalagay ng paabiso eh di mas maaga makakaiwas sa lugar yun mga dadaan at kung may proper rerouting at hindi yun patitigilin yun mga dadaan eh di sana maiiwasan yun mga trapik na ganyan
