Our transport woes

STOP. LOOK. LISTEN.

GOOD MORNING, MANILA, here’s some heavy traffic to start your day!

It has been a part of our daily lives. We have been alloting time everyday for it. We have adjusted our daily routine for it. For several hours a day, most Filipinos have been spending their time... sitting on unmoving cars.

And if ever you manage to catch the train or bus, you have already tired yourself out as if you’ve been to a battlefield.

Traffic has become one of the major problems our country is facing. And if the growing population is any indication, then the future looks dire for the Filipino commuters.

Should traffic be forever a part of our lives? It shouldn’t be. Instead of politicking our transport woes, our leaders should be thinking ahead, by decades, to solve this problem. We may not be around when traffic is finally solved but at least the future will thank us for solving it.

How do you feel about going back to on-site classes?

Commentary “I feel great because I get to see my friends all the time. However, with the change of the academic calendar from June to May to August to May, it could get hot sometimes.” -- John Emmanuel M. Boral, Grade 6 Jose P. Rizal

“I definitely do not miss online classes. I’m so glad to have teachers who are passionate about their vocation and that I get to learn a lot every day.”
