What do you expect from those squatters? Di sila makaka-gawa ng okay na strategy. Kaya wala silang asenso. They deserve to be there, down there.

this thread is asking for a solution

thats the solution!

it is just a simple problem that demands a simple solution

what makes it complicated is the politics behind it ganun lng kasimple yan!

Sounds more like trolling to me than a solution. Kung gusto mo ng simple solution, dapat binoto na lang natin Eddie Gil. May libreng pera ka na, may entertainment ka pa.

mga drayber na nagtatrabaho at kumikita pero hindi nagbabayad ng WTX and Income Tax

mga drayber na sobrang reklamador kaya kinekelangan mahalan ng gobyerno ang gasoline vs. diesel (kaya tuloy napabili ako ng diesel car) eh suppose to be mas mahal na diesel ngaun kasi sa ibang bansa ganun

mga drayber na sobrang reklamador kaya kinekelangan may special price sila sa gasolinahan

mga drayber na ok lang banggain ka kasi ang dahilan lang nila wala silang pambayad
at mahirap lang sila

mga drayber na nagdadagdag pa ng more steel and stainless sa mga jeepney nila para lalo makakagas or maka-intimidate ng mga private owners na takot magasgasan ang pintura

mga drayber na kunwari eh wala sila makita trabaho kaya naging driver pero sa tutoo lang gustong-gusto nila mag-drive lang. san ka pa pinakamadaling trabaho, drive lang ng drive pag liit kita, sigaw sa gobyerno na taasan ang minimum fare

criminal tingin ko sa ganito, and we still glorify these types ...

What will the government do? Remove the tax on diesel completely (even though it is already subsidized for PUV drivers) and have no budget to run the country next year? Increase fare prices to the point that commuters will not be able to afford to go to work?

Simple. Suspend the R-vat. Yan ang nagpataas sa presyo ng langis sa Pinas.Hindi yung tariff sa oil imports. May tariff (1%) pa rin naman e. The government must not rely to much on indirect taxes like value added taxes. Masakit sa mga maliliit na mamamayan yan. Because all transactions (regardless if these were done by rich or poor) are slapped with the same tax rate.

The government must raise its efficiently in collecting direct taxes (imposed to those who have the ability to pay) such as INCOME or CORPORATE taxes to get more revenues. Dagdagan din ang taxes sa mga luxury goods at non essential goods such as jewelries, cigarettes, liquors and beers, luxury cars, non-essential gadgets, condominiums etc...

Mga mahihirap pagbawalan bumili ng liquor tulad ng Tanduay at Ginebra bilog at manigarilyo. ala ng makain pinang-iinom at binibisyo pa..Hulihin on the spot....joke...

There's a simple solution, really, to this simple problem. Cut down PUV registrations. Sa daming colorum na PUV sa kalye, at sa sangkatutak na approved lines per area, sino bang di maghihirap... if you have twenty buses going after the same twenty passengers on EDSA (I see this a lot)... obviously, something's wrong.

With all due respect, its not an easy solution.

With lack of available jobs in the Philippines (including OFWs who came home and just invested in jeepney operations: Katas ng Saudi)this is the most viable livelihood alternative...

Hindi naman mag-papasada sa mga probinsya (remote and rural)yan dahil walang pasahero....

its a complicated problem actually.

Kung tamang-tama lang ang mga sasakyan sa damin ng pasahero, walang problema. Walang hintayan, walang gitgitan, walang traffic (well, meron pa, pero mas mabilis).

Im praying for this also. But can it really be done especially in Metro Manila?siguro in the provinces especially in areas not yet saturated by public transport...(kaya lang hindi nga lucrative)

Buti pa mga ibang bus companies, may internal arrangement na hindi sila magkasabay sa ka-line nila sa bawat stop. Mas mabilis. Mas efficient. Kung lahat lang ng public utility dito sa pinas ganyan, hindi malulugi ang lahat.

Problema pa rin ng MMDA yan at sa probinsya. With more that 3 or 4 bus companies competing for the same route nagkakatraffic at bumabagal din kasi nag-aagawan sa pasahero...

Solusyon. Government must give alternative jobs to Pinoys so that they will not just opt to drive jeepneys, buses and tricycles...

mukhang maganda mag-invest sa oil ngayon ah! oil prices will not go down.... that's reality....

buti nga mga kita nila walang income tax na binabawas....

tanggalan siguro ng evat ang oil products para kahit papano bumaba ang gasolina (may epekto din to kahit papano sa electricity)

saka implement nila ang single dispatching entity para hindi nag-aagawan ng pasahero.

**A121** · May 13th, 2008 05:14 PM

sa lahat ng threads na nakita ko dito...

parang walang kasagutan sa lahat ng problema ng Pilipinas.

better go somewhere where I can be more productive.

I agree with all that you said except govt must give jobs. Govt. only provides freedom for each and every one of us to use our minds productively.

the problem with people who seek livelihood in the transport biz, tamad mag-isip ng ibang pagkakakitaan and parati pinipili [i]the road most travelled [i] ... in this case literal talaga, Philippine roads

saan ka naman nakakita pulis mag-drive ng fx as sideline, dating OFW mag-drive ng fx, jeepney pagbalik-bayan, dating mataas ang rango militar mag-open ng biz bus or taxi company

masyado Peso sign ang tingin sa lansangan kaya hayan nangyari ngaun, binanatan tayo ng tadhana tig P50 per liter na fuel pano na investment saka ipon ... mababawi pa kaya.

dati nakarinig ako ng agent na naghihikayat ng OFW mag-invest sa PUV. sabi niya, "walang katalo-talo" there's no such thing ...

Agree here. The world economy in general, is driven by the price of oil and oil products. So, the EVAT that our national government charges, may be used as a safety net by them (by lowering the EVAT rate or worst case, eliminating it) for any surges in oil prices. And, concentrate on collecting taxes somewhere else (luxury and vice taxes), to compensate.

Increasing the basic wage is not the answer, because you cannot revert to the old level if things get better, as this is against the law.... With this, we become less competitive, too....

This government loves to hit investors specially local investors everytime their stupid policies backfire

For instance, the government's low priority to agriculture and industry resulted to our weak agricultural and industrial sectors are either limping with lack of new investments, poor infrastructure government subsidy and almost decimated by imports...

Kahit ano pa sabihin nila, with all their press releases...delikado na talaga ang ekonomiya natin...it will collapse...

Anyway, instead changing the policies, they resort to penalizing the following...

...farmers, households, retailers of rice and even blaming other countries (hay naku....) except the inutile DA and NFA and partly PhilRice and UPLB for the rice crisis.......

...forget about IRRI, it does not care about the host country. it only cares about how it can serve its benefactors.........

....local and foreign investors by reducing the coverage of Investment Priority Plan ,investment perks and incentives, protective tariffs, and safeguards instead of blaming the lack of a coherence and focus of the DTI, DOF, BOI, BOC, NEDA.... for the weak industrial production, no new investments and reduce exports..

...although partly to blame, MERALCO and other IPPs and electric firms.. (this is the danger of giving the utilities sub-sector to private firms) for high power rates.....whereas its the infamous royalty, evat-rvat and the inept Napocor is the culprit)

Hay naku....
