WANTED: CHEAP MASS TRANSPORT

I used to be able to move about in MetroManila very fast. I could finish three tasks in a day, going to Kamias to my printer riding the jeep from Araneta Avenue and taking Proj 2-3. Sometimes I even lift my fingers -- two and then three to make the drivers understand that I am eager to get the ride; and then to UP to get to the internet color printing. I take Lagro from Kamias and then get off at City Hall to ride the UP jeep, and then from UP to EDSA to buy my naturopathic medicines at Healing Galing by Dr. E.

I could also go towards Divisoria to visit Dr. Hao my dentist, and then to National Bookstore at Robinsons Magnolia since it takes only one ride from Recto to Aurora Boulevard. From there, I would take the Divisoria jeep and get off at Araneta Ave to ride a tricycle to reach my home.

So you see, Folks how important it is for me to see the return of our beautiful historical jeepneys restored from being a vehicle of death to a vehicle for life (thanks, Kidlat Tahimik) on the roads of MetroManila?

Last week, I had to take a taxi to go to a bank to find out my balance as I have been expecting help from some musical quarters, only to be disappointed as the bank had closed. And so I returned to my home spending P180.00. Now, how much taxi fares shall I have to spend to go around? No, Folks, I am not that rich to be spending for cab fares.

I wait and wait endlessly for a more benevolent treatment of the masses who cannot afford taxis. IATF please release the permit. Uphold the right to mass transport, please.

PRG DECLARATION

Philippines for Righteous Governance (PRG)
Forbes Park, Makati City, March 26, 2009

WE, FILIPINOS OF DIFFERENT CREEDS, DECLARE AND BELIEVE IN THE EXISTENCE OF GOD (A DIVINE BEING) WHO CREATED HEAVEN AND EARTH; THUS, IN GOD WE TRUST.

We, are citizens of the Republic of the Philippines comprising of individuals and various organizations, and hereby state a DECLARATION OF UNITY in common vision for RIGHTEOUS GOVERNANCE and GENUINE SYSTEMS CHANGE. Because of this declaration of unity, we do hereby state the following:

That the Philipines today is in a state of MORAL DECAY perpetrated by our present leadership who has shamelessly displayed the absence of morality in governance, integrity, justice and love of country.
Our nation is tainted with crimes against God and humanity where HUMAN RIGHTS are systematically violated resulting in the disappearance and death of over a thousand victims. The past several administrations had never instituted a GENUINE LAND REFORM that could have resulted in economic prosperity, promotion of nationalism and morality, dignity in the Filipino; thus we cannot anymore stand as mere spectators of dismal and flagrant display of historical failures to bring about GENUINE SOCIAL AND ECONOMIC REFORMS.

That the Philippines today needs GENUINE SOCIAL AND ECONOMIC REFORMS that will be mustered by NON-TRADITIONAL POLITICIANS and a few exceptional traditional politicians at all levels of public governance, from the Presidency down to the Barangay Captain level. They will run the Philippines to be a great country with righteous governance, with shame; will possess integrity, selflessness and not greed; must dispense proper justice, promote peace, push for poverty alleviation, put the country back to order, enhance ecological balance, uplift morality, good values, and LOVE OF FAMILY, and be more nationalistic through LOVE OF COUNTRY.
