sinira ng Manila Water ang Ortigas-Santolan intersection, hindi na nila binalik sa dating cemented road.

Grabe yung square manhole sa foot ng flyover in front of Metrowalk... super lalim. Same with the square manhole in front of Shell/Ortigas Building (same road).

the reasons on why manholes are big problems on our roads:

(1) freakin' bakal boys steal the covers. remember the flyovers with no railings? the mmda pink fences that disappear come morning? same sh** happens with manholes.

(2) why are manholes lower than road level? because dpwh and the water company contractors are not following road building standards! when the dig a hole for a pipe, they put the manhole directly into the concrete, not giving allowance for asphalt. why? because dpwh is inconsistent. some roads have asphalt, some concrete only, some don't even have cement.

(DPWH acknowledged that only 70% of the total road network in the Philippines are cemented)

so what happens? manhole in concrete, no extension. here comes the dpwh/LGUs asphalt layers, who of course will dodge the manholes. = stupid road conditions

***and oh, there's a reason for the manhole's round shape. Any engineer would know that. SQUARE/RECTANGLE MANHOLES! Good Lord!

Sa mga Jazz owners, magingat kayo lalo. Ang panget ng tunog pag nadali ka sa pothole when the front wheels run over them, maski maliit lang basta swak, masakit sa tenga. Rear wheels walang problema.

Ever get that feeling na yung nails kinakamot sa board? Ganun yung feeling ko when I ran over some nung tag ulan dati, di kasi makita.

kawawa naman tayong mga motorist.. sobrang busy mga opisyal natin sa money making scheme kasi magpapasko na.. yung mga sirang kalsada ayaw ayusin samantalang mga ayos na kalsada sinisira para ayusin.. anong klaseng pagiisip meron mga opisyal natin...

kaya ako pag gabi dahan dahan at mabagal na takbo nalang, mahirap na nadale na din ako ng ganyang lubak dati... dagdagan pa natin na napaka dilim ng mga kalsada natin,wala man lang ilaw...

Pumutok na dati gulong ko sa ganyan na sharp opening.

ung Ortigas-EDSA crossing(ilalim ng flyover), grabe, asphalt na bitak bitak, para akong nagdra drive sa buwan pag dumadaan dun arrrrggghhh!!!

Cnong t*ngang engineer ang nakaisip ng square manhole? Tinanong nga sa akin sa job interview to dati(bakit bilog ang manhole at hindi ibang korte), nde ko nasagot hahaha, na off guard ako e
