MANILA, Philippines—For these “Reds,” Metro Manila hardly looks pretty in pink.
A group of left-leaning lawmakers wants the House of Representatives to investigate—in aid of legislation—the use by the Metropolitan Manila Development Authority (MMDA) of bright pink as standard color for road signs and structures.
The group says the pink signs and structures not only mar the urban landscape but also violate local and international safety regulations.
