Emergency Powers - Traffic

[tolitsaso]

Read a news earlier that the senate is soon to begin public hearings on Proposed President Duterte's emergency powers to solve traffic - what does the emergency power entail, what does it mean?

AFAIK, emergency powers enable the government to procure goods and service without undergoing the tedious government procurement process.

Parang sa disaster. Kung kelangan ng bigas para sa mga tao or gamot para sa mga injured, mabibili agad yun.

Sabi ni Sec. Villar,- in two years daw, solved na ang problema natin sa trapiko....

Ito bang statement niya ay naka-patong sa pagbibigay ng emergency power/s sa Presidente?..

Kakayanin ba talagang ma-solve ang traffic sa MM? Even in developed countries, matindi rin naman ang traffic, hindi rin ma-solve.

emergency powers = road widening or forcing homes to relocate for the greater good,

that's what Marcos Did with the Pasig Floodway, so many homes demolished

as i understand sa emergency powers sa MRT and other projects is the president can kick out existing substandard contracts/contractors which were made to protect them despite their poor performance and replace them without penalty of the law...

Don't need to use emergency powers for road widening. You can claim eminent domain to facilitate road widening.

Opening up of subdivision roads should just be a temporary solution while building the much-delayed infra.

Thinking of a few examples:
- While constructing the Buendia/Paseo/Makati Ave underpass, they should open up Mercedes St in Bel-air from EDSA to Kalayaan Ave as an alternate route.

- Open up E. Abello St inside Meralco compound, from Temple Drive to Ortigas Ave. That should reduce the vehicles from White Plains passing through Temple Drive, Greenmeadows and turning westbound on Ortigas Ave. They can then start building the LRT line along Ortigas Ave going to Taytay.

- San Antonio Village: Gen. Araneta from Meralco Ave to Escriva Drive. This will reduce the load on Shaw Blvd westbound.
