Why start work when classes are on?
Ikeep scratching my head in total bewilderment. I read that starting June 9, the Tabunok flyover in Talisay will be closed to vehicular traffic for retrofitting and maintenance works until June 22 or a span of 13 days. The construcvtion of the P638-million underpass at the intersection of N. Bacalso Ave and F. Llamas St. in Cebu City will also start in the middle of this month and will last for 18 months.
I just wonder why does the Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH) start works just as classes open and during the advent of the rainy season. Why did it not begin the projects at the beginning of April in time for the summer vacation? At least, it would have had a head start of two months.
The people who will be affected need a simple explanation.-- Manny Camara-Gumban of Carmen, Cebu
Traffic in Tabunok, Minglanilla
Please voice out our greatest frustration with the traffic situation in Tabunok, Talisay City and in Minglanilla town. I mean, what are the officials there doing to to try to minimize the horrendous traffic situation in their areas of responsibility?
They do not even discipline their own people, especially in Tabunok. Please voice out the hellish traffic ordinary people go through in those areas.-- 09337453969
Road safety
I was watching the report on a bus that ran out of brakes and plunged into a ravine killing many young students. When the blame game came into play, only the operator was hit.
But if you really look closer the blame should also be on the road condition, like were there guard rails in the area? We know there are problems but we don’t fix these and instead wait until lives are lost before taking action.
Even if we punish the bus owner or driver or anyone, the problems will still be there.
We in the Philippines like to make our roads look like those in other countries but we fail to go all the way, like when installing guard rails we fail to install the cables and anchors to make these effective. Where can we find a runaway truck ramp in the Philippines, which has the most number of runaway trucks and buses that kill people?
Think about it before spending our hardearned taxes on unnecessary road and bridge widening projects.-- Alfredo Acopan
In defense of martial law
Martial law, as provided in our constitution, can be invoked to quell lawlessness, invasion or rebellion. What’s happening in Marawi City is not just ordinary lawlessness but is an act of international terrorism as the Maute group is being supported by foreigners.-- 09173218126
