What to Do When Apprehended for “Swerving”
When you are a new driver in Metro Manila, and if you’ll get apprehended by an MMDA traffic officer for “swerving”, then you should read this this tip from Crazy Deals.
“Swerving” has been the violation (which is NOT) being used by some crooked MMDA traffic officers to earn illegal extra money. So, be careful.
Kapag hinuli ka ng traffic enforcer at alam mong wala kang violation:
1. kunin mo ang mission order nila upang malaman mo ang kanilang area of responsibility, time of duty and official function;
2. “SWERVING” ay HINDI isang traffic violation.Tandaan:
1.Hindi maaaring kunin ang iyong driver’s license maliban na lamang kung ikaw ay sangkot sa traffic accident o nakalikom na ng 3 o higit pang traffic violations.
2. Walang karapatan ang traffic enforcer na pababain ng sasakyan ang driver.Ipadala ang pangalan ng traffic enforcer at ang reklamo sa email@mmda.gov.ph
Manila is Third Worst for Driving in the World
I could not agree more.
Although, a lot of Manilans would disagree with the report. But I can personally attest that it is indeed correct. Manila should belong in the top 5.
The drivers are rude, especially the taxi drivers who selfishly take advantage on commuters especially during the rush hours. The taxi drivers would ask for extra fees which actually illegal.
From air to land, the Philippines was once again listed as among the worst in a transport-related international survey.
CNN’s travel website CNNGo.com on Thursday named Manila as the world’s third worst city for driving.
“In 2001, Manila borrowed US$60 million from the World Bank for transit-related activities. Among other things, the funds were meant to ‘promote the use of non-motorized transport.’ A campaign asking locals to ‘Please stop driving,’ however, wasn’t necessarily the best approach to traffic management,” the website said.
CNNGo.com added that according to one report, Filipinos perceive traffic congestion as their number one problem, followed by air pollution, garbage collection, flood control and the need for security.
“So, Filipinos care more about getting to work on time than they do about respiratory ailments, mounting trash heaps, drowning or being assaulted? Capitalism wins again!” it said.
Nevertheless, the travel website pointed out the redeeming quality of the Philippines, saying, “You’re in a country in which smooth-flowing traffic is apparently of utmost importance to residents. So, you gotta figure somebody, somewhere is working on the problem. Right?”
CNNGo.com noted that its “non-scientific” list of the world’s 10 worst cities for driving was based on IBM’s 2011 Commuter Pain survey, World Bank statistics and other Internet sources.
According to the survey, worse than Manila were two other Asian cities like New Delhi, India and Beijing, China which topped the list.
Mexico City, Mexico placed fourth while Johannesburg, South Africa was the fifth worst.
Completing the list were Lagos, Nigeria; Sao Paolo, Brazil; Moscow, Russia; Toronto, Canada; and Monaco, which ranked sixth to tenth respectively.

Cyndi Lauper’s sound can still be mistaken as a new music. So for even the teenagers of today, you should watch this and be a new fan. The teenagers of the 80s would surely have fun on Cyndi Lauper’s concert on March 17, 2012 Saturday at 8:00PM, at Smart Araneta Coliseum.

Turf BGC in Global City
The country’s first commercial artificial football turf is here, specifically in Bonifacio Global City in Taguig City, Metro Manila.
E-Sports RK International is the supplier of the artificial turf, and is already available to the interested football enthusiasts. According to Audris Romualdez, the E-Sports executive, “The Azkals and CF Madrid have already tested the field. They love it. There are only three artificial football fields in the country. The only commercial one is this one (Turf@BGC),”
Artificial turf are generally better than natural grass, in terms of ease of use and availability, Romualdez quips, “The players complain with natural grass is that when it rains, it can destroy the pace. It’s easy to shovel rubber granules over unleveled area. With grass, it takes about two to three days to play again. With turf, in 30-40 minutes, you can play again,”
According to Ernest Nierras, “Turf@ BGC is owned and operated by BGC. The PFF will be providing Technical and Administrative support.”
