Ako nga eh last Sat. lang nangyari, was driving along Shaw Blvd., waiting for the light to turn green and then turn right. Ang layo ko nga sa PEX lane, tapos ng mag green na yung ilaw...there was this guy who tried to cross but was held back by the traffice enforcer kasi "Go" na kami...kaya ayun, tumama sya sa side mirror...good thing eh hindi sya nabali or nabasag...but nagulat ako and my son as well...dami talaga ganyan sa kalsada, ingat na lang sa lahat ng tsikoteers.

I seldom swear. But hearing stories like these, napapamura talaga ako. I also have similar experiences about these reckless jaywalkers.

Sadly, the stupid laws that protect such imbeciles will never be changed because of how populist the politicians of this country are.

Never mind what's right and what's fair, as long as it pleases the majority (and stupid).

asar na asar din ako sa mga ganyan. i pass by araneta center almost every day talagang nakaka sira ng araw dumaan don. mga tao don parang color blind or akala siguro nila pag green light ibig sabihin pwede na sila tumawid, kasi kung kelang mag go-go ang mga kotse don bigla hahabol ng tawid ang mga gago.

minsan sa asar ko dinuraan ko yung mga tumatawid.

Don't they teach students how to cross the street properly? In front of RTU along Boni in Mandaluyong, students cross as they please, oftentimes, diagonally across an intersection!

One time, I was so pissed off at students running haphazardly while crossing, despite vehicles having been signaled by a traffic enforcer to proceed (he also signaled the pedestrians to stay put). So, I stopped, rolled down my windows and shouted

"Mga estudyamte ba kayo? E bakit di kayo marunong tumawid sa pedestrian lane at sumunod sa traffic enforcer? Talo n'yo pa walang pinag-aralan!."

I wish I had a video camera to capture their shamed faces.

You just KNOW the first thing they'll say after you're gone would be...

"Ang yabang naman nun."

Typical brainless Filipino defensive remark.

share ko lang bad experience ko regarding sa mga pedetrians na matitigas ang ulo...

i got stock in a traffic in front of the church. dami tao tumatawid dahil katatapos lang ng misa doon... so definitely traffic was stopped to give way... nung wala na tao tumatawid, pinag go na kami nung enforcer... so syempre tapak sa accelerator... e may biglang tumakbo sa harap ng vehicle (FX) in front me... umuulan pa nung time na yun... so sudden stop lahat, yung FX, ako, and yung 10-wheeler truck sa likod ko... dumulas ako, tinamaan ko yung sasakyan sa harap... buti hindi ako tinamaan ng truck (although sobrang konti na lang ng space para tumama sakin)... bumaba ako and yung driver ng FX, pareho kami galit dun sa babaeng tang-a na biglang tumawid... sorry nang sorry yung babae, nagmamadali daw dahil male-late na daw sa work...

sinabi ko na lang dun sa babae, " miss, hindi porket may preno ang sasakyan namin e agad agad hihinto mga yan.. tingnan nyo naman gaano kalaki ng mga yan... nag aral naman kayo ng Physics di ba? may mga bata pa man ding nakasakay sakin... what if naararo kami ng truck??"

dahil sa sobrang galit ko, hindi ko na hinarap yung babae after... syempre, dun sa scene, ako ang may kasalanan... buti na lang walang nangyari sa FX, buo pa rin, binayaran ko nalang yung FX driver due to the paint scratch made by the contact of license plate bolts of mine to the rear door ng FX.... yung front bumper ko ang nasira (got it replaced with a new one via insurance claim)...

minsan kasi dapat nag iisip din mga tumatawid... buti na lang the crowd on that location may isip, the pity was on us and not on the stupid lady...
