MAYNILAD: Umayos Kayo!

[buriroy]

Maynilad is presently digging up a large portion of Alabang-Zapote Road in the Las PinaS Area. Although it's kinda wrong timing kasi sinabay pa nila sa Xmas season when there are lots of cars on the road, that's not my main beef.

Ang nakaka-asar is when they cover-up their diggings after laying down their pipes. Yung asphalt is "naka-umbok" meaning not level with the rest of the road, plus yung asphalt medyo rough ang texture at halatang minadali ang pag overlay. The result is a very rough ride when you go drive over them.
Ganun din na-notice ko sa Fort Bonifacio area. Ang tagal-tagal na nun, sobrang traffic, pag dumaan ka doon sa mga natapos na nila, hindi pwede normal speed kasi nga hindi maayos ang pagkaka-aspalto nila resulting in matagtag na biyahe.

I'm sure that like me, most of you spend a lot of time and money maintaining and beautifying our cars. All this is negated when you go out on the road and drive over substandard streets brought about by the haphazard and cavalier attitude of Maynilad and other utilities.

Local governments should inspect the "work" done by Maynilad and should see to it that their asphalt overlays over their diggings should be level with the street and not of rough quality. In other words, Maynilad should bring back the roads the way they found it! Maynilad - umayos kayo!

Wahaha I was kinda waiting for an anti-Maynilad thread lol.

You're spot on TS, why is it NOW they are digging up?!?! Everyone knew about the water problem for years and it is only NOW during the busiest time of the year to dig up and cause havoc on an already traffic prone road.

Agree also for the covers that they lay down. Sheets of thick metal which I'm sure messes up our tyres! And the road is now uneven and rough, and full of loose stones and debri!!

[indiej]

maybe it's the end of the year and they saw there's extra left in the budget given for that purpose.

They usually hire contractors. First Balfour is the one that dug up and ruined the whole stretch of UN Avenue. (until Taft Ave) in Manila. It was repaired and asphalted years ago which resulted in a smooth and level road. Then this FIRST BALFOUR comes and digs it all up to lay down the pipers. They left it in substandard conditions (ie. uneven and full of craters).

hay yung dito sa amin, nung hinukay nila, nag pump sila ng putik ...and saan pinaagos yung putik??? sa kanal!!!!!!!!!! nung sinita ko sila pa galit... ngayon tuwing uulan kahit mahina lang baha na agad kasi barado na kanal.

ang maganda sa nipis ng halo ng semento nila bakbak na ngayon... hay...

[cjv_justice]

ay nako Maynilad...

[RedHotBlood]

di pa talaga sesementuhan yan unless makumpleto na yung pipe layout at natest na nila yung linya for leaks, sayang din kasi kung sinemento agad tapos me tagas din pala. tagal din naming tyinaga yang ganyang hirap sa BF, buti na lang tapos na yung area namin.......kainis talaga but we need to bear with it whether we like it or not....

[buriroy]

Our local governments are also partly to blame for the sorry state of our roads. Dapat pag meron mga contractors na mag street-digging, they should require a hefty bond to be deposited. After their work is completed, someone from the City Engineer's Office should inspect the road portion affected and make sure that the cement/asphalt overlay is done properly and of good quality. Otherwise hindi dapat isauli yung deposit nila. I guess that's wishful thinking. Mga tao natin sa gobyerno corrupt na, pabaya pa sa trabaho! (Of course hindi ko naman nilalahat).

That's why I consider driving now to be more of an ordeal than a pleasure.

Pati sa QC panay aspaltong palpak running along concrete roads.

Yep! This is evident in New Manila area.

[vh3r]

but i guess hindi dapat isisi ang mga problemang ginawa ng contractor dahil binabayaran lang nila mga contractor to do their job.

which i think dapat kung may problema eh mag reklamo kaagad sa kanila at ipakita kung anong mga palpak ang nagawa ng contractor at mapalitan kaagad ng iba.

i don't work sa maynilad pero kailangan din naman natin balansehin yung ating kumento.

[ab_initio]

I have called Maynilad's attention many times through phone and email. They promised that they'll fixed it...got impatient as no result was forthcoming, i called again, no one's taking my call. Sunog na linya ko. I sent them email, wala pa rin. If only i have the luxury of time...with all these, one thing is clear:

Maynilad is an effing inefficient agency. Tangingina nila. Nagsasama sama silang mga mukhang pera.

[ReXBadBoy]

i think hindi lang Maynilad at Manila water ang naghuhukay na yan pati Bayantel, PLDT at Globe ata yun mga undergorund fiber optic wires nila... worse after hukayin at tapalan... andiyan na naman isang utility company hukay na naman tas tapal ng baku-bako aspalto... dami nyan dito sa QC at Manila area... para kang nasa Moon pag dumadaan sa hindi pantay na kalye

[XTO]

Naku yung iba dyan kunyari project lang. Style lang para makapagpalabas ng budget. Pansinin n'yo kung kelan na semento at na aspalto na tsaka nila huhukayin, sisirain at tatapalan Merong totoong trabaho (yung talagang makikita mo agwasa tubig at overnight ang gawa pero marami dyan mga hukay-tabon lang. May tyuhin ako sa City hall ata na sabungero :bwahaha:

Agree with you bro.

Ang 4 lanes(total) na Zap-Alab Road, naging 3 lanes na lang kahit na tapos na ang digging, dahil sa temporary filling material nila,- it's not vehicle friendly, alun-alon... :twak:.... Sa may tabi pa ito ng City Hall ng Las Pinas!.....

Saludo ako sa 'yo bro!

We should have more citizens like you who take the time and effort to express their displeasure and give our "inefficient" utilities and branches of government an earful. Karamihan kasi sa ating mga Pinoy tanggap na lang ang kapalpakan ng serbisyo publiko na binibigay sa atin.

Until we learn to stand up for our rights and demand good service, we will always remain a 3rd-world country with rotten roads.
