MANILA - Metro Manila was hit with traffic gridlock Monday morning after major road sections were closed for the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) Leaders Summit.
The road closures, meant to speed up the shuttling of APEC delegates to the summit and related meetings, caused heavy to moderate traffic along EDSA, C-5 Road, South Luzon Expressway (SLEX), Skyway and other roads.

Filipinos in the Philippines are uneducated and undisciplined drivers. As you can see, there is heavy traffic because the impatient drivers cut into the next lanes, straddling at the lines to one-up each other. How is it difficult to obey that faster vehicles occupy the leftmost sides? To keep in your lanes? To provide traffic signs? To educate drivers? To educate the traffic enforcers?
There should be a centralized bus terminal at the outside of the city so buses does not add to the traffic with their comings and goings.
The reason why slow moving vehicles are in the leftmost lane is that they lining in for a left turn so the traffic control center should evaluate the strategy of where to put left turns.
Its because I have drived abroad in Malaysia and in Palau before and the first thing I observed is that they keep in their lanes. I know the population is comparatively smaller but you get the idea. Those who are disciplined in small things tend to be disciplined in big things. What do you expect?
So the traffic I understand is handled by the Highway Patrol Group. Then for Metro Manila, the cities are led by the Mayors. Its better that Mayors have their own police force because they know best their cities and they are more qualified to solve their traffic situations. I mean I think the HPG belongs to the national police not the Mayor's. This is just my impression pending more research later.
The PH needs more train systems to alleviate traffic cause right now we only have three light railway train systems and an antique diesel locomotive train line. We are totally desperate for train system design and technology. We need to ask help from experts because we need help in this field.
A woman is not a trophy so a man must seek a wife who is more than a trophy. A man is not a trophy either so a woman must.wait for a man who is more than a trophy. A trophy is good for display and as a weapon if you are angry.
