    Tsk Tsk! So much for safety first, huh? Ingat guys.

    I'm not against their fixing the Magallanes flyover. That place does need some repairs. But then if an accident happened due to their repair, because there were not enough safety measure taken, then that would taint the success of the repairs.

    Magallanes Interchange is one of the most deplorable and hideous places next to Bicutan Interchange.

    Non-tax paying bus drivers get immunity from swerving and illegal loading of passengers and get a maximum of one smack from the side of the bus from MMDA, whilst the tax-paying middle class gets a P1000 Peso fine for illegal swerving caused in the first place by those road-hogging coffins.

    It's basically pandemonium out there as found in most busy sections of Manila.

    The condition of the roads on the interchange going both north and south bound are good enough for any 4x4 enthusiast. I just love those breaks (where pieces of the bridge meet) that they have left unasphalted so we can test the rigidity of our rims. I think it's an off-roaders dream.

    As in all things in the Philippines, kanya kanya na lang ang diskarte.

    I somehow agree with you.

    I hate it when you are caught swerving and there is no solid line, you are slowly changing lanes, and you have your signal lights on.

    I am relatively happy to report that those breaks on the bridge has been asphalted (band aid). They did it one morning during rush hour (I think 3 weeks ago). I still have some asphalt on the body of my car.
