    At least you can get it done via manual setting of channels using the TV tuner. Here, we need the set top box and hook it to the TV via HDMI. We don't use the ATSC tuner of the TV.

    ever since the ayala buildings sprouted, our local TV signals from the other side, have degenerated to un-useable quality. them buildings act like berlin walls.
    cable or the abs cbn's mahiwagang black box are our solution.

    It just breaks my heart whenever I see a condo being constructed near my home or route going home. Manila is way too dense already.

    It is getting crowded everywhere in Metro Manila. That's why a number of my cousins moved elsewhere such as Subic up north and farther south. They can't stand it either. I guess it's easier for them to move away because they have their own businesses.

    it's probably not tiwala, but more of old habits.
    besides, these older guys probably have enough cash to have their cars fixed where it would inconvenience them the least.
    whenever i pms my still-under-warranty car in the casa, marami akong nakikitang nagpapa-service, na driver at hindi owner, ang nagdadala.
    yung mga owners ang nagdadala, karamihan ay not-so-old-yet.

    Bro - i am familiar with the area as my maternal side of the family lives only a few kilometers from there.

    So I can only shake my head now, as I can imagine what you went through in traffic...

    A counter flow makes traffic worse. It just a bypass. The bypass eventually merges back to the main road. This creates a bottleneck. Traffic slows down at bottlenecks. This is why a counter flow should never be implemented.

    My daily grind in traffic would be Bicutan Interchange exit. Normally we would be stopped in traffic for at least five minutes at 605am allowing those vehicles from Bicutan to cross going to C6, well in fact they could release us, all 5 to 6 vehicles first before they release 30+ vehicles from Bicutan.

    One time I could not help it. I called a TE from SLEX and asked him why they could not release us first as we will not block the intersection vs releasing those vehicles from Bicutan who will, almost all of the times. He said, "marami sila e.."... Naka hang kami with the provincial buses while held up in traffic.

    I replied that it is precisely the point! Frustrated I bluntly asked him "who is paying your salary? - kami iyon who are using SLEX... So consider that you release us first as we will not block the intersection....."

    Oh well, you can't teach an old dog a new trick....

    Akala ko sa amin lang ganyan. Dito sa Rizal common occurrence na ang counter flow. Nag iisip na nga ako magdonate ng barriers for a couple of sections para lang wala nang maka counter flow sa regular route namin.

    Bad trip today kasi ang itim ko na. Babad na sa araw sa construction site tapos gusto pa ng swimming ng mga bata. Ang hapdi ng sunburn

    Amen. Add to this, Pinoys don't know how to merge. Gitgit lang ng gitgit. That's why roundabouts and u-turn slots are as slow as they are here.

Bakit ka badtrip today?
