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.

I hope one of his emergency powers is to raise the taxes of the posh villages in Makati at 300% so that they move out and relocate

It's time to use those lands for the greater good.

Like what happened in Manhattan, New York, the city is an economic capital. The country cannot afford to give way to a prviledge few, Ang laki ng opportunity ng manhattan tapos may mga villa pa. No way sabi ni Uncle Sam

Ganun din dapat dito, demolish Dasma, salcedo, forbes, corithians etc .etcc ... By yun na nga raising their taxes to 500%. Pag naging buiding yan dami ma-service-an

Ako naman sensing what'll happen coz I saw the rain from Manila to Makati from my bldg. i rushed to BGC kagad from Makati, Still got stuck in a 10 min standstill sa BGC bridge from Makati to BGC good thing it cleared

Parked in BGC Mukti-level at 530pm. Took a quick nap (15min) while hard rain. My wife shopped nearby.

600pm I said to my wife Im hungry, so we ate at Bonchon just below the parking. After an hour, even the road in front of bonchon where jampacked na. So I said to my wife, let's prove na congested na traffic all over. So we walked to Market Market. All those streets in Bonifscio high street locked with cars na, probably suggested by waze lol

So yun We went to market market, there was car showcase there most brands, fortuner, montero, suzuki, and even Foton topllander, I tried it all hehe. After 30 min of that.

We went inside the mall. place is filled with stranded commuters. We went to Japan Home and Daiso. i never had time to study their products so I took time, analyzing and studying all of it. i always needed the data for my analysis company,

At 830pm, traffic is still bad outside so we walked to SM Aura. Window-shopped, strolled and strolled, ordered and ate dessert. Finally, I memorized Most of SM aura's shops.

At 10pm, we checked waze. Traffic still standstill at both edsa and c5.
So we proceeded walk back to high street. In high street, there was a number of people playing pokemon go in a particular spot. So i observed them, what they do how they behave for 30 min. I dont play Pokemon but I like observing and then the idea came in. i'm going to convince our clients to support this Pokemon craze so that they can have foot traffic in their business.

Then We walked to Shangrila, toby's estste is alresdy open. Since it's cold snd rainy, we ordered hot coffee and took a selfie with the coffee. Got like 50+ likes coz some of my friends didnt know it was already open

At 1130pm, checked waze again and plotted my destination home. It says their 30 mins kaya naman with some minor traffic. So yun went home, I paid P70 for BGC parking, I tried to fill up sa Shell and was surprised to see a long line in shell station up to bridge, dami halos naubusan ng fuel.

So there, it was productive night I guess,

Baka part of easing the traffic problems a possible declaration of 2 days coding for every car. Thats about 40% less transport in MMla.
