[Lucius]

Mayor Lim should just stay at home and start taking viagra again.

[ans_lim168]

nabiktima na ko one time ng isa sa mga yan. alam niyo yung sa harap ng quiapo yung kapag diniretso papuntang south pier sa may kaliwa eh one way na paakyat ng tulay tapos sa kanan naman eh papuntang carriedo o pwede ka ding mag u-turn sa ilalim ng tulay pabalik ng quiapo papuntang recto dun sa mga tindahan ng mga native filipino products tulad ng mga basket, duyan, mga gamit na gawa sa abaka yung mga ganun. ang siste ito nangyari sa akin, kapag paakyat ka na sa tulay na yun medyo traffic dun para sa mga kakanan o yung mga papuntang carriedo at hindi aakyat ng tulay sa harap yata ng mercury drug yun. dun sa part na yun napakadaming kuliglig. pakanan na ko dun biruin mo biglang may sumulpot na napakabilis na kuliglig at ewan ko ano nasa isip nun balak yatang banggain mga naka momentum na sasakyan paakyat ng tulay at mga kakanan papuntang carriedo. todo predo ko at nagkasira sira yata mags ko nun dahil pagpreno ko umabot ako sa part na yung may mga nakaumbok na bakal sa kalsada na may mga reflector. imagine mo pumreno ka bigla sa part na yun at ang kuliglig dedma lang at nag uturn na lang pabalik. sana tanggalin na yang mga kuliglig na yan sa kalsada.

Sorry to hear what you experienced with this "eyesores", I also pass by at Quiapo C. Palanca, these ignorant and arrogant hoodlums even counter flowed their way towards Plaza Sta Cruz. If it were not a crime to just bulldoze these pests I would have mowed them all the way back to where they came from.

[Monseratto]

There are now some motor scooters with white liscense plate operating as kuliglig here in Binondo. Shouldn't those be classified as tricycles?

[vh3r]

agree one way kasi yung kalsada from sta cruz going to quiapo.

madalas may traffic dito dahil sa kanila kung hindi sila sasalubong sa iyo eh naka hinto sila na kala mo eh sila may ari ng kalsada.

kapag nag matigas ka sa kanila eh sila pa galit.

[impulzz]

yung buong quiapo- sta. cruz all the way to divisoria is one big mess. salamat sa mga kotong cops na dilaw na ang bagong uniform... pag kuliglig at jeep kahit one way or no parking or no loading zone pwede.... pag private cars kaway agad....

MAYOR LIM at VM MORENO, kelan kaya namin matitikman na ang mga Buwis na binayad namin sa City of Manila ay nag tratrabaho para sa amin, ang vendors at kuliglig sa evanglista, raon carriedo nagkalat, sila walng bayad na tax, kaming mga may tindahan may tax,upa, at pasweldo sa mga tauhan... pero sila ang nakaharang at naka pwesto sa kalsada na di ninyo sinisita... ayaw na tuloy ng mga customers pumunta sa quiapo sa sobrang trapik at gulo

pero nagawa nyong linisin yung sa likod ng city hall lang. magka lapit lang ang city hall at quiapo.

pakiramdam ko NASAYANG ang BOTO KO SA INYO.

[impulzz]

ingat lang mga pare sa kuliglig sa Quiapo, may mga "BAON" yan. pag alam nilang di ka tagaroon... kukuyugin kayo nyan... kaya dapat bulok na oto ang dala nyo...para pag nasagi pasensyahan na lang...

[roydok]

Just this afternoon along Dapitan ay may mahabang pila ng mga kuliglig. Akala ko hinuli. iyon pala may long campaign convoy ng isang kapitan para sa barangay election.

[Monseratto]

Hope Mayor Magoo will show a little political will and not backdown from these road pest...

Pedicab drivers oppose imminent ban from Manila streets

MANILA, Philippines—Pedicab and "kuliglig" (motorized pedicab) drivers in the city of Manila on Thursday expressed their opposition to Mayor Alfredo Lim's executive orders seeking to ban them from the city streets starting December 1.

The Alyansa ng Nagkakaisang Pedicab at Kuliglig Drivers Manila (Alnapedku) held a press conference Thursday noon at Nepomuceno St., Quiapo to ask the city government to reconsider its decision.

"Kami po ay tutol sa E.O. 16 at 17 ni Lim na mag-aalis sa aming kabuhayan. Lalo ngayong kapaskuhan, hiling namin ang karapatan sa disenteng hanap-buhay ay bigyan pansin at huwag hayaang magutom ang aming pamilya," ("We are against Lim's E.O. 16 and 17 which would rob us of our livelihood. Especially for the Christmas season, we ask our right to a decent living be acknowledged, and that our families not be allowed to starve,") said Alnapedku spokesperson Fernando Picorro.

But Manila city hall chief-of-staff Ricardo de Guzman said there was little chance the orders would be revoked.

"We have already given them a chance before to change their business and to have them remove their motors," he said. He added they were even given a grace period to do so. The original implementation date of the executive orders was on September 15, which was extended to December 1.

Lim's E.O. 17 banned all pedicabs and tricycles from Ermita-Malate roads, along Taft Avenue from Lawton to Vito Cruz, Roxas Blvd., and all national roads in the city.

They are, however, allowed to operate on sidestreets and residential areas.

Those who violate the orders will be fined P500 and their vehicles impounded.

The city government has been receiving many complaints against the three-wheeled vehicles, largely blamed for worsening air pollution and traffic the city.

Kahit sabi nila na hanapbuhay nila, hindi dapat sa daan ang kuliglig. Delikado sila lalo na pag gabi, wala man lang reflectors or any indication na nandoon sila.

Walang disiplina, walang pakielam sa iba. Sabi nila para sa hanap buhay, pero wala naman silang pakielam sa ibang tao. Pamangkin ng kaklase ko nabangga kasi tanga tanga ang kuliglig, sa sidewalk nagovertake, naipit ang paa ng bata.

Ang dami ko din nakikitang kuliglig drivers na lagi sa lasingan at KTV. For the family my ass. Tamad lang kayo humanap ng ibang trabaho. No offense sa mga advocates ng drivers, observasion lang po.

[Reepicheep]

Basta lang makapaghanap-buhay hindi na baleng maka-abala ng kapwa. Typical PUV driver mentality.

[woohoo]

Kung ayaw nila ma-ban, iparehistro nila ang motorized vehicle nila sa LTO, which is required by law. Good luck with that.

Walang karapatan sila magsalita ng ganyan. Mga delinquent road hazards sila. Hindi nagcoconform sa motorcycle safety standards ang mga contraptions nila. Walang ilaw, bulok ang brakes, maingay, mabagal, palaging tumitirik, ano ba ang masasabi nila. Dapat nga hindi lang sa national roads sila bawal eh. Dapat bawal na talaga! All they do is cause traffic and various other accidents. The country is better off without them.

Since the motors used to run the "kuligligs" are not mechanically designed, powered, and intended for land use, these cannot be registered with LTO.

the point exactly! it does not conform to the basic requirements of safety.
ban it!!!

[afrasay]

Reregulate daw nila and tuturuan sa tamang driving rules and regulations. Hay...ang totoo is for every kuliglig driver is a family of not less than 5 people and that translates to voters. Mayor Lim gising na po. Hope you can make your sunset a colorful one. Bring back order to the City of Manila. Sa Recto Abad Santos area mapakaraming kuliglig breaking all the traffic rules pero nun nag right turn ako from Abad Santos to Recto I was flagged down by a policeman. Nasa gitnan lane daw ako bakit dapat diretso daw ako. Sabi ko, "Iniiwasan ko mga kuliglig, may problema ba?". Wala daw, next time nalang daw...hehehehe

[MissDaisy]

Kaya nga eh, porket may motor doesn't make it fit for the road. Meron akong motorized scooter (yung electric, for kids) hindi din pwede yun. Meron din maliit na engine RC car ko, pwede din ba un?

[ans_lim168]

There's no point to let them ply the streets: unsafe, road hazard (driving methods and lack of reflectors and lights), unlicensed drivers. I pass by the streets of Manila 5 times a week especially the Quiapo area these contraptions break almost all known driving regulations.

They are crying foul for depriving them of their livelihood. "Bakit hindi nila inisip ng mabuti bago sila nag hiram sa mga 5-6 ?" Ban them and if they insist on continuing their trade, MTPB should be authorize to confiscate the "cariton" este motorized pedicab.

[puroy]

Thank you kay Mayor Lim! woohoo! =))

[jave]

Walang kwenta yang ban na yan since hindi complete ban. This will just result to a ningas cogon approach.

If they're going to ban them, then ban them completely. No exceptions, no special cases, para walang chance ng takas at mas maliit chance ng ningas cogon since di na gagamit ng utak yung maghuhuli. Basta makakita, huli agad. Di na kailangan isipin kung national road ba or hindi.

[incus]

Dami na nito sa Harrison Plaza at Leveriza Pasay..
kanina nag-ccounter flow un isang kuliglig sa leveriza, hindi agad nakatabi ang taxi sa unahan ko, ayun inabot sa gulong sa likod..galit na galit un may dala ng kuliglig at hindi daw tumabi un taxi.. pagkatapos magmura biglang pinatakbo ang dalang kuliglig at walang pakialam sa nagasgas na taxi

ang tagal naman ng Dec 1 kaso wala naman din ginagawa ang Pasay City para mabawasan ang mga ito:boom1:
