    i was on my way to forbes kanina around 130pm. dumaan ako sa EDSA coz eto lagi dinadaanan ko papunta dun. anak ng tokwa ang traffic sobra sa EDSA! sobrang usad pagong! bumper to bumper! yun pla may isang foundation ng billboard bumagsak! ang laking bakal na frame bumagsak sa bubong ng MRT. as in literal ung bakal na frame hanging over EDSA. kakatakot dumaan baka bigla mahulog. buti nasalo ng bubong ng MRT ung bakal na frame at hindi bumagsak sa EDSA! kundi patay mga sasakyan at siguradong daming napahamak! anyone saw this?

    btw, this is north bound. right before mag magallanes.

    meron din billboard ako nakita kanina na bumagsak sa boni area, which also caused soooooo much traffic. pero south bound naman ito.

    i'm not sure if we're talking about the same billboard.

    I think magkaiba yun.

    Hmmm.... Naisip ko lang, baka gawa 'to ng mga grupo na gustong ipatanggal yung mga billboards sa EDSA? Kung a few weeks ago sana nung malakas pa yung bagyo pwede pa... Eh kanina halos wala ngang ulan at mahina lang ang hangin.... Wala lang hehe...

    almost everone carries a camera phone, i don't know if you have one with you... sana kinunan mo ng picture...

    marami incident na ganyan na bumagsak ang billboard... kung makita niyo iyun steel, pillars, grabe ang ninipis sobra, at i'm sure substandard ang gamit which cost less... kung alam niyo lang kung magkano kinikita ng billboards na iyan... daig pa iyun halaga ng nag rent ka ng condo dito sa manila...

    the advertiser, the company placing the ads, the engineers, contractors, city/municipal engineers, inspectors should be held liable... there should be accountability to the cause, the damages, time wasted incured by the public... what if kung may namatay resulting to the accident???

    magisip isip naman sila ng mabuti...
    kung gusto kumita ng pera eh doon naman sa maayos na paraan...

    wala eh GREED ang umiiral kasi eh...

    yup... I saw this too around 11:30am. It was a miracle the MRT station roof caught and held up the billboard's structure. If not, it would have fallen right on the road and might have killed people under it.

    malaking bagay nga yung roof ng MRT station, at least na-prevent what could have been a sure tragedy. Maigi nang maipit sa traffic kesa maaksidente.

    Those billboards has something to do with the building codes. Dapat sa proper places, right structures and safe sizes.

    Tsk tsk tsk, di kasi iniisip ng mga ads company yun eh, all they want is earn money.

    Haay!

    thankfully, ung bubong lang ng MRT station. Though sobrang laki ng potential for disaster nun. imagine nahulog sa train with passengers aboard tas bigla mahulog pa sa mga kotseng nasa EDSA.. tsk tsk dapat iinspect mga ganyang structures e.. delikado

    Pero grabe yung istorbong dinulot sa mga motorista at yung mga sinunog na fuel dahil sa sobrang traffic. I'm glad tinamad akong umalis noon. I was supposed to go to Alabang.

    buti na lang pala wala akong pasok nun...

    dapat marethink na nila policy nila on allowing billboards sa edsa, seeing that it is a major thoroughfare.
