Well, I think its BECAUSE it's Christmas. Build, build, build to steal, steal, steal ng pang-spend, soend, spend sa pasko.

Flip flopping. What a shocker. Makes me thinks these idiots in government don't do any planning at all.

Rubbing salt to injury. They are using Chinese workers at a time when a lot of Filipinos are unemployed. LOlz.

i can see it now.
"after the holidays na lang, so as not to worsen the holiday traffic".
after the holidays, "after the other bridges and roadworks" na daw ito kukumpunihin.
after na-kumpuni yung other bridges, "wag na lang natin ayusin ito. ok pa naman siya".
voila! everyone comes out smellling like a rose!

I read an article in TGP that widening this bridge does not make sense. I agree with them. Mandaluyong side is a two lane road as well as the rock well side. So it would just create a bottle neck on the exit of the bridge. Another thing worth mentioning is chinese workers are working on the bridge. Why? There are no shortage of filipino workers i know. This is really questionable.

Well ganyan ang modus ng chinese government kahit sa ibang bansa.

I'm sure the cost, the materials, the steel at kahit semento galing china yan. Pati workers galing China. So wala naman naitulong when it comes to job generation yan.

Kanina sa radio may na rinig din ako. May isang haka haka. Gusto daw masimulan agad for the official visit of Xi Jin Ping this year. Since this is a Chinese project spearheaded by the best president of the Philippines. Pinuntahan pa nya ito para mag Photo op with the Chinese Ambassador months before.

Ano kaya masasabi ng Austrian government or the organization who funded the original bridge. 7 years old gusto na palitan?

Those online gaming jobs yeah i agree filipinos cannot do it because of the language barrier. But construction jobs. Aagawan pa ng trabaho si juan. Somehow we have to make noise

I think it's already written into the grant that China gets to dictate how the money is to be spent.

Beware those Chinese loans to PH | Inquirer Opinion

China’s loans can also come with other strings. In the Philippines, Chinese-owned contractors will be required to work on the infrastructure projects, rather than supporting local companies and workers.
