To ease our traffic woos, government officials are desperately seeking short term solutions for the traffic problems. Te likes of closing U-turn slots, banning then lifting truck bans, and the latest, a four day work week for government offices.

Why don't we close shopping malls once or twice a week instead? It is very obvious that shopping malls contribute a lot to our traffic problems.. in the Metro Manila area as well as in provincial high ways where malls are allowed to operate.

This could be done with different variations. Like along EDSA Mandaluyong, Mega Mall closes on Mondays, Galleria on Tuesdays, Shangri La on Wednesdays, or they can all close every Mondays... things like that. Aside from the possible easing of traffic, we also solve our eletricity shortage.
