[shakatak70]

dahil sa kapabayaan at sa pagiging ningas cogon ng mga kinauukulan...nagiging anarchy na ang mentalidad ng mga mamamayan...Dapat diyan kamay na bakal ang gamitin at ng magtanda ang mga kuliglig na iyan.

[crazy_boy]

bida yan naman ang mentalidad na gusto ni bayani noon ng sya pa ang nsa MMDA pa kaso dahil sa mga botante ng bawat munisipalidad eh puro kontra sa kanya ang nangyari.

ayun hanggang ngayon hindi magawan ng paraan kung ano ang nararapat na gawin at lalong nagiging matitigas ulo ng mga pinoy at lalong nagiging malaking basurahan ang metro manila.

dahil sa kapabayaan at sa pagiging ningas cogon ng mga kinauukulan...nagiging anarchy na ang mentalidad ng mga mamamayan...Dapat diyan kamay na bakal ang gamitin at ng magtanda ang mga kuliglig na iyan.

Nag rally na naman mga peste sa kalye sa tabi ng City Hall. As usual, may kakampi sila na parehong walang kuwenta at bwiset sa buhay...

Youths Join Manila-wide Pedicab Strike, Decries Planned Pedicab Ban ‘Death to the Poor’
Published on November 15, 2010

PRESS RELEASE
November 15, 2010

Youth group Anakbayan took to the streets of Manila today in support of the one-day strike by the city’s pedicab and ‘kuliglig’ (motorized pedicab) drivers. The strike was launched by the Alyansa ng Nagkakaisang Kuliglig at Pedicab Driver-Manila (ALNAPEDKU-Manila) to protest plans by Manila City Hall to ban pedicabs and ‘kuligligs’ from the city’s streets.

“With a shortage of social services on one hand, and a lack of decent jobs available in another, the pedicab and kuliglig ban is nothing more than the Manila government stealing food from the tables of thousands of drivers’ families in Manila” said Anakbayan spokesperson Charisse Bañez.

“Their job as pedicab drivers, as low-earning as it may be, is the thin line between life and death by starvation. The Aquino regime has no right in depriving them of their meager livelihoods if they are unable to give them decent alternatives” said the youth leader.

She pointed out that more and more Filipinos resort to working the so-called ‘informal sector’ because of the lack of job opportunities in urban areas and in the industrial and agricultural sectors. She said that this was already the ‘last resort’ for unemployed Filipinos.

What does this youth organization represent, they are suppose to be the hope for the future, and not the promoter of anarchy on the streets. Obviously there is a group that financed this - - - "leftists."

On topic, I don't understand these operators, they are given ample time to seek alternative means, a simple removal of them equates to depriving their livelihood ? "Ang babaw naman ata ng logic nila para mag sabi ng ganito."

[Monseratto]

Di naman sila tinatangalan ng livelihood. They are only being restricted. Banned ang kuliglig pero di pa banned ang pedicab, pero bawal sila sa National roads. So what denial of livelihood are they talking about?

[afrasay]

Kahit total ban di naman sila inalisan ng means of livelihood. Yun driver naman di naman na ban so he can still find other source of livelihood. :D Hopeless na talaga ang Philippines, votes pa rin ang importante sa authorities.

Di ba pwedeng araw-arawin na nila yung strike para at least nasa may City Hall lang sila at hindi nakakakalat sa major roads ng Manila.

[chujosh]

[size=4]all public utility vehicles really pisses me off..

It would take a miracle for the drivers to follow traffic rules and observe road etiquette. [/size]
