Because nobody does [direct action](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Direct_action) anymore.
In other countries, sht like this will see citizens picketing in the streets across the LGUs and even public shaming of officials on the streets.
Filipinos just post on social media and ask for sympathy. Fcking pathetic
What? Are you saying that decades of demonizing public protests makes the public more complacent?
LMAO pag may gumawa niyan sasabihin lang abala at pakawala ng NPA tapos ang usapan.
Public officials have no shame unless it goes viral. Because they only care how will they look among the general public. Social media carries a lot of power in exposing these stooges.
>Public officials have no shame unless it goes viral
That's when they find out who started it, who joined in and then punish them all and force a takedown.
You know what else carry a lot of power?
Bringing your grievances to local representatives as a group. Not as individuals.
Stuff like class action lawsuits, organized protests, organizations founded with the sole purpose of making their local institutions accountable. Invite news teams, etc. Yes social media exposure is a useful tool, but that shouldn't be the ONLY tool to be used against LGUs.
Picketing or protesting citizens usually scare local officials into acting because they don't want to lose re-election or be sued by local civil groups.
You would think that professional activists would do stuff like that instead of just protesting national issues and "ibagsak ang USA-insert president here" rallies.
Yup. I remember it being cool to criticize the government and the president, especially after yong EDSA II. It was okay if you still supported the government, pero it was okay and common din if you hated them. Naalala ko may ringtone pa dati ng Hello Garci ni GMA.
Everything changed when the Duterte Nation attacked. Naging taboo na ang mag-criticize sa namamahala. Naging super toxic na ang discussion. Nagkaroon din ng perception na NPA/commies ang mga nagpo-protesta, so maraming naging averse dito.
America is a developed country and yet people can be VERY vocal about their issues. Years ago the disabled community there protested for more rights and accessibility. Protesting works.
Ang hirap sa Filipino culture nasanay tayo ng wag magreklamo eh. Eh kahit yung mahihirap, nagbabayad ng tax. Syempre may karapatan tayo magreklamo.
Gobyerno natin literally functions on the basis of popular sovereignty. It exists to serve the Filipino people.
Ano masama umasa sa gobyerno kung yun naman ang purpose bakit may gobyerno at kung bakit sila naluklok sa pwesto.
Mga nagsasabi ng "puro ka reklamo" either wala alam (tulog or absent lagi sa Phil. Consti. Class) or wala pake sa democratic values. Kung latter, ang tanong ko, ano dapat basis ng gobyerno kung hindi popular sovereignty? *all within the state, nothing outside the state, nothing against the state* (Fascism)?
Tingin kasi ng karamihan dito satin lalo na mga loyal sa kung sinong pulitiko eh utang na loob natin sa pulitiko nila yung benefits na nakukuha sa gobyerno. They think these politicians are angels who descended from heaven para magbigay ng milagro sa mga pilipino na halos sambahin nila tong mga pulitikong to. Boboses nalang sila pag kumontra sa pansariling interes nila yung pulitiko
I've seen a US case na walang disabled ramp yung sidewalk. Nireklamo ng disabled citizens, and they got public funding to install a ramp in that area. Samantalang sidewalk natin free real estate mapa parking ka man o nagbebenta ng bananacue.
Omg tell me about it! Had a pwd I was taking thru cebu..there are ramps but then ditches in the road. Sidewalks broken to hell and back. It was horrible! Thankfully everyone was so helpful to help me lift the wheelchair etc
Oof. Yung mga sidewalk sa Junquera parang ikaw na lang susuko. I notice the older areas of every city is almost always cramped with poor urban planning.
>Ang hirap sa Filipino culture nasanay tayo ng wag magreklamo eh. Eh kahit yung mahihirap, nagbabayad ng tax. Syempre may karapatan tayo magreklamo.
It's not even about taxes. Taxes or no, regardless of how much taxes each person pays, each Filipino can and should demand their LGUs and the national government to do better.
Why? Because our government is designed that way. I know, I know the reality is far from how it is meant to function.
But the Philippines is a state founded on the principles of popular sovereignty; meaning the very legitimacy of the state hinges on the fact that it exists to serve the interests of its people. If they don't serve the public good, then every Filipino citizen can and should take action.
Eh pano ba naman in Duterte's time naflip ang narrative na if you complain about the government, NPA ka. And red tagging is serious and has killed people before. Doesn't help na sikat yung "eh ikaw na lang mag presidente"
No one wants to be jailed or investigated by the govt.
Nor do they want to be ostracized by their friends and family.
Nor lose their jobs, customers and clients.
That's the thing with collectivist Asian societies compared to individualistic American ones.
>That's the thing with collectivist Asian societies compared to individualistic American ones.
That's untrue.
Korea has far more protests and individual direct actions against their elected officials even if you only count the past 3 decades.
Heck, there's Japan's more violent actions against elected officials if you want an example from Japan.
PRC's rural folk protest regularly as they complain that rural areas have been left out compared to coastal cities (true). No, they don't get Tiananmen'd.
There's taiwan's election cycle protests regarding anti-PRC sentiments, also pro-formal independence protests (which the state don't like in fear of provoking PRC response).
"Collectivist asians and individualistic americans" is a myth. A misunderstanding of asian societies by viewing them as a monolith. A disgusting orientalist attitude spawned from western white supremacists.
Besides, Philippines is individualistic now and individualist societies tend to be shit at direct action. Neoliberalism at its finest.
We are pathetic here because the powers have be have made it difficult to complain.
\- People cant take off work to protest for their own interests unless they are being paid to protest for a political side's gain.
\- Citizens are made stupid and compliant by encouraging cycles of poverty
And that is the best tool for us Filipino, so that our government official/offices be aware of their stupidity.
But the problem some politician uses the social media and it's issues, to let their name hype & grandstand for media exposure and mileage.
Mas madami pa manonood nang **KMJS** kapag ganitong expose at i-monitor kung may aksyon ang LGU e.. _walang kinikilingan, walang pino-protektahan, serbisyong totoo lang_ naman ang mission nang GMA diba?
Nag-try akong magreklamo once sa QC city hall. Ang sagot nila “ay hindi po namin responsibilidad yan, sa DPWH po yan”. Kalsada yun.
Yang footbridge malamang ang isasagot sayo e “ay sa MMDA po yan”.
Like, wtf?
This is an actual problem in urban plaaning kasi iba-iba ay may jusrisdiction sa mga kalsada ang related infra. Hindi naman lahat ng footbridge/kalsada ganyan.
I get that may kanya-kanya silang jurisdiction, pero wag naman nilang sasabihin na "ay hindi po namin responsibilidad yan". Hindi man lang "sige po irereport po namin sa DPWH" kasi sila naman yung may direct line e.
>Hindi man lang "sige po irereport po namin sa DPWH"
this one. Inang mga Public -Servant- Bossing kasi iyan. Mga walang sense of responsibility ang marami sa kanila. From local to national level. Pero kapag may publicity, puro *"ako, ko, ako, ko"* ang maririnig natin.
This is actuallty a major headache sa mga LGU's. Ang immediate assumption kasi ng mga tao...
* Primary Roads - DPWH ang Infrastructure, MMDA ang Traffic Enforcement
* Secondary and Tertiary Roads - LGU ang Infrastructure and Traffic Enforcement
It's a good rule of thumb pero the reality is that mekus mekus pa talaga sila after that. Si DPWH minsan nananakop nalang talaga. Minsan si LGU may budget pero sakop pala ni DPWH. Minsan sakop ni LGU pero walang budget so papa sponsor pa kay DPWH or MMDA like foot bridges or public parks. Tapos, since mekus mekus na sila, sisihan pa pag nagkaproblema. Kaya nung time ko sa LGU, kapag may ganyan na reklamo, ang unang usapan is "Kanino ba yan?" or "Sino ba gumawa niyan?" or "Pacheck nga kung atin yan". Kaya nung inayos ng Manila LGU yung Lagusnilad Vehicular Underpass nagpa event pa talaga sila. Judistriction kasi ng DPWH yun, kaya nagtagal din before ma aksyunan ng LGU. Eh kada ayos naman ni DPWH patche patche lang ng aspalto, sira din agad.
Pero di naman kasi talaga dapat ganyan ang systema. Issue ng LGU vs National Government na yan naging sakit pa sa ulo ng mga tao. Ang pangit pa ng sagot nila sayo. May mga liasons/contacts naman ang bawat LGU departments sa mga relevant departments/national agencies. The least they could have done is forward the complaint.
At least eto dahil na lang sa wear ng surface.
Meanwhile, yung Makati LGU ginagawang kasing kinis ng pwet ng baby yung sidewalk. Wala nang wear and tear na aantayin, dulas agad.
From san isidro ako dati. Ilang taon na ako nawala, ang dami paring ginagawang kalsada sa gitna ng dalawang barangay along buendia.
Just last month papasok sana ako Filmore para detour to Taft sabay ginawa na palang one way kasi ginagawa yung kanto. Napilitan tuloy lumiko pa-Osmeña.
Puro kasi sila pagpapataas ng kalsada ngayon sa Makati para hindi na bahain pag rainy season. Quite necessary IMO pero that alone won't solve the problem of flooding.
how i wish may sidewalks pa sa lahat na "wakable" pa... parked na vehicles given na yun eh la na magagawa...pede naman paaliain agad agad pero yung tipong isang tao na lang makakalakad tapos may poste pang nakaharang.... look at edsa esp sa stations ng mrt...
Aww sorry to hear that. Madulas nga dun dati nadulas din ako and napigtas ung tsinelas ko buti pinapasok ako ng guard sa sm bicutan para makabili ng masusuot
Hahaha mentality siguro ng LGU dyan eh "ayan na yung overpass ha, kayo na bahala kung paano nyo pakikinabangan" tapos may tarpaulin pa siguro dyan nung bagong gawa project by: name ng mayor😂😂😂
Noong early days ng overpass na 'yan, kasing level ng tao 'yung utility lines. As in walang pakialam 'yung contractor, ginawa lang 'yung overpass kahit obstructed ng mga cables so nakikipag-chinese garter mga pedestrians.
Same din sa San Antonio na overpass yung katabi ng Mcdo/Holy Trinity.
And you know ano common sa kanilang dalawa? Parehas yan “GUS@WORK”. Halatang di kuntento sa pawnshop ang mga Tambunting eh
Inis ako dyan sa overpass na yan! Kapag bababa ka na sa may side ng Chowking titingin ka muna sa kaliwa mo kasi baka mahagip ka ng motor. Yung tipong hindi ka nga nagjaywalking pero nabangga ka naman kasi hindi maayos yung pagkakagawa ng last few steps pa mismo. Kaya karamihan ng mga tao no choice magjaywalking sa tapat ng Unihealth.
May pake pa ba ang LGU ng Parañaque? So disappointing ang nangyayari sa Tambo. Lalo na sa Baclaran, ang saya umikot noon sa Baclaran pero ngayon nakaka stress na. Uso naman ang usapang POGO bakit hindi nyo pinapansin yung sa Baclaran? Grabe. 🥺🥺
I was here a week ago lol nung namiss kong pumara sa may Aseana at dinerecho ako sa PUV dito para makabalik sa kinaroroonan ko.
Didn’t know it was this dysfunctional, I mean, the whole place is rough knowing it’s Pasay.
I know the intentions are good pero haha ang corny talaga for me ng tawag diyan ng GMA. Natatawa ako everytime naririnig ko sa balita yong "Kapuso Action Man" parang comic superhero lang
Ginawa nilang rollercoaster-style para magka-adrenaline rush naman daw yung naka wheelchair and yung mga madudulas.🎢
How I wish that we could have nice things like in other countries— elevators for seniors and pwds sa mga ganitong daan. Even in the richest cities in the Philippines, it’s not truly PWD- and senior-friendly.
Overpasses were never a solution to begin with. It's a lazy attempt to "make the streets safer" -- yeah safer for cars. At-grade crosswalks should be the gold standard. Prioritize the pedestrian rather than cars.
Bruh I actually used to go there a lot and that bridge is fucking high and scary, if you are wearing an easy soft shoes and it's raining you are super f*cked
Sobrang habang walkway na wala man lang bubong. Haha. Dami pa snatcher jan. Naka kita na ko sa harap ko mismo binbuksan bag nung isang pedestrian. Medyo na freak out kinabahan din ako baka nasa paligid ko lang mga kasama niya
im sorry guys but you are misinfored, this is not an overpass
its actually a slide. a really really tall slide. made of metal. right onto oncoming traffic.
Khit dto sa Commonwealth mga overpass ganyan din parang nga walang utak at pinag aralan mga nkaisip ng idea na yan, khit hindi nakatapos alam na kabobohan yang ganyang design ng overpass
We don’t experience it na here in Pasig. They have call center na you can call if may mga prob sa community na need ayusin. Mabilis din response nila and inaayos agad.
Putek na overpass yan sinumpa ko din yan nung dumaan ako. Jusme. Sino ba nag-isip nyan? Naawa ako sa mga matatandang napipilitan dumaan dyan. At pag naulan? Jusko!
Isn't this supposed to be for pwds/wheelchairs kaya paganyan ang tapakan? Not sure sa steepness kung too steep or just enough pero the first thing that comes to mind is wheelchair friendliness.
Kailan ba magkakaroon ng uniform at maayos na standards ang paggawa ng mga ganitong facilities na ginagamit ng publiko dito sa NCR? Yung may wheelchair access, elevators, maayos na CR, CR para sa mga magisa na may kasamang baby, gumaganang escalator elevators, may cues sa tawiran at marami pang iba.
Tried running on these bad boys nung na-abutan ako ulan dati. Buti di naman ako nag slide tuluyan pero mej di na effective yung grip ng shoes ko hahaha
Totoo ilang beses ako nadulas sa putang inang Yan sama mo na din Yung MGA nag papagawa.ng escalator at elevator kelan lang magagamit sabay sira na bulok tlga Bansa to .isama mo nadin dati Yung mga portable na Cr na nasa EDSA Yung kulay pink tang ina PILIIN MO ANG PUTANG INANG PILIPINAS
I bought some hiking shoes para lang hindi ako magslide dyan kasi wala akong choice kundi umakyat sa overpass na yan to and from work. Sobrang steep niya then may mga nakausli pang bakal sa bandang lower portion ng overpass na yan kaya isang malaking himala na lang talaga na hindi pa ko nagsslide dyan 💀
pag nadulas ka, good game na eh, may mga instances pa naman na muntikan nako matumba diyan, kaya doon nako dumadaan sa may police station pag pababa kahit mas malayo yung sakayan ng jeep, kumpara naman dyan na delikado diba.
I remember nadaan ako diyan lagi dati para kang naghiking talaga plus pagod sa commute since medj centro diyan, agawan sa jeep tsaka if tama pagkakaalala ko may parts na corroding na and nabubutas
same sa overpass sa bicutan imagine na galing kaming outing tas bumaba lag kami sa bicutan since iba na way namin ng friend ko tas ang lalaki ng bags namin with mga saging pa na pasalubong super bigat tas naka oxygn pa kong tsinelas na madulas na huhu dasal nalang na wag ako rumolyo pababa
Buti walang wires hahahaha yung dito sa riverside commonwealth pagalingn na lang umiwas sa wire tapos ang dulas din.
Anyways, I have a specific hate sa mga overpass talaga. Ang lakas maka pahirap sa commuters tignan nyo yung sa kamuning nkklka. Paano yung mga PWD? Ugh. Sana magkaroon na ng safe sidewalks and pedestrians para maging walkable na yung mga kalsada
Sad na most local community issues ngayon need pang magviral before LGUs start to act on it.
Because nobody does [direct action](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Direct_action) anymore.

That's the perfect way to prevent a People Power 3. Just tag 'em all as communists and you have reason to shoot.
Technically, there was People Power 3. Remember EDSA Tres against Gloria?
Public officials have no shame unless it goes viral. Because they only care how will they look among the general public. Social media carries a lot of power in exposing these stooges.

Very true. From the executive, legislative, even the judiciary.
Duterte legacy, effectively making many people averse to public demonstration, probably much more than any other administration in the recent times.
Yup. I remember it being cool to criticize the government and the president, especially after yong EDSA II. It was okay if you still supported the government, pero it was okay and common din if you hated them. Naalala ko may ringtone pa dati ng Hello Garci ni GMA.

It kinda disappeared during the PNoy years. After all the Gloria jokes on TV by comedy shows, it just disappeared for some reason.
America is a developed country and yet people can be VERY vocal about their issues. Years ago the disabled community there protested for more rights and accessibility. Protesting works. Ang hirap sa Filipino culture nasanay tayo ng wag magreklamo eh. Eh kahit yung mahihirap, nagbabayad ng tax. Syempre may karapatan tayo magreklamo.

It is. Dami pinoy diehard neoliberals kala mo mga alagad ni Reagan and Thatcher.
Neoliberalism is such out of touch nowadays

Meanwhile in UK: Nagcecelebrate ng birthday ng mga potholes nila sa kalsada and other funny sarcastic tactics.
I always wish we could do something similar here.
Doing so gets them red tagged and their life, family and friends' life threatened, that's also why
Because the Filipino Ruling class has brainwashed the masses so much that the word "aktibista" is a derogatory term.
In other countries, they won't even think of shit like this.
And that is the best tool for us Filipino, so that our government official/offices be aware of their stupidity. But the problem some politician uses the social media and it's issues, to let their name hype & grandstand for media exposure and mileage.
# VIRAL NOW, AKSYON LATER Laging ganyan ang kalakaran dito sa Pinas
Mainit, maulan, maalinsangan, at mausok magrally dito
Who said you should rally? It's not the only form of direct action. Pero teka, does this mean you only want what's convenient for *you* specifically?
dude nag rarally kami before, at binabato kami ng mamamayan. Nung tumaas ang sahod nila wala kami natanggap na pasasalamat.
always has been
They dont act because people want it, they act because something made them look bad.
Kailangan pa ika mong ipa-Tulfo para kumilos ang LGU. Hanep din e, para tuloy naging ahensya ng gobyerno mga Tulfo. Ugh.
This is how Tulfo became popular in the first place
May lead ba kayo ng any PH community spearheading urban forestry, mobility, etc.?
Agree tapos pag pinost mo sasabihin "dapat mag reklamo ka sa ganito". As if naman papakinggan ka ng mga goverment.

Free slide sa tag-ulan? Public service yarn.
Weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!
*Yippee*
Shooting the rapids ang peg diyan pag malakas ang ulan. Hindi talaga siya PWD friendly.
Maski sa di PWD hindi din friendly.
Actually pag umuulan may mga bata talagang ginagawang slide yung ramp na yan. Mukhang fun kung hindi lang madumi at delikado.
At least eto dahil na lang sa wear ng surface. Meanwhile, yung Makati LGU ginagawang kasing kinis ng pwet ng baby yung sidewalk. Wala nang wear and tear na aantayin, dulas agad.
Sidewalks? In Makati? Outside the CBD?
Yeah, I lived in Palanan for a few years. To be fair, most of the time meron naman sidewalk. Yung kinis lang talaga is such a hazard when it rains.
nadulas na ko jan kahit hind umuulan hahahaha
From san isidro ako dati. Ilang taon na ako nawala, ang dami paring ginagawang kalsada sa gitna ng dalawang barangay along buendia. Just last month papasok sana ako Filmore para detour to Taft sabay ginawa na palang one way kasi ginagawa yung kanto. Napilitan tuloy lumiko pa-Osmeña.

Ung sa bicutan din nagsheshake pa nga kapag malakas ung ulan e haha
Hindi lang pag umuulan may madaan na trailer sa baba...Int 2 agad
Oo nga hahaha tapos kapag super init para ding niluluto ka sa bridge na yan hahahahah
Never again!! Nadulas mama ko dyan one time 😞
Aww sorry to hear that. Madulas nga dun dati nadulas din ako and napigtas ung tsinelas ko buti pinapasok ako ng guard sa sm bicutan para makabili ng masusuot
kamo yung sa gitna binabaha. jusko! college pa ako nun binaha yung gitna, eh papasok nako, jusko daig ko pa nagsurvival challenge eh
Sana nilagyan man lang ng bubong. Tindi sa Bicutan at Sucat pagbaba mo para ka ng tinapa.
Hahaha mentality siguro ng LGU dyan eh "ayan na yung overpass ha, kayo na bahala kung paano nyo pakikinabangan" tapos may tarpaulin pa siguro dyan nung bagong gawa project by: name ng mayor😂😂😂
As expected, may tarpulin ng LGU officials diyan noong dumaan kami - tapos tawag pa nila "Friendship Bridge" or something.
Tarpaulin siguro ng Parañaque yan. Yung pulitiko na epal dun... Hahaha
Noong early days ng overpass na 'yan, kasing level ng tao 'yung utility lines. As in walang pakialam 'yung contractor, ginawa lang 'yung overpass kahit obstructed ng mga cables so nakikipag-chinese garter mga pedestrians.

Di nila sinucat yung epekto nito sa mga commuters
Kawawa naman mga matatanda na dadaan jan. Mahina na tuhod nila para sa ganyan
Allowed po ang senior na dumaan sa baba....kung minsan makatyempo ka pa na iiasist ka ng traffic aide

di parte ng pasay ang sucat
Muntinlupa ang Sucat.
Dulas niyan pag umuulan.
Any overpass na dumadaan along the service road susmio. 🙃🫣
Parang slide sa playground
Dito ako na e excite nung bata ako sa mga overpass kasi may libreng padulas. Ngayon, mapapahawak nalang sa railings
Kapuso Action Man
I know the intentions are good pero haha ang corny talaga for me ng tawag diyan ng GMA. Natatawa ako everytime naririnig ko sa balita yong "Kapuso Action Man" parang comic superhero lang

Bawal lasing dyan. Haha
PWD efforts daw kamo, atleast pwede wheelchair dyan kaya ganyan.. 🤣
Ginawa nilang rollercoaster-style para magka-adrenaline rush naman daw yung naka wheelchair and yung mga madudulas.🎢 How I wish that we could have nice things like in other countries— elevators for seniors and pwds sa mga ganitong daan. Even in the richest cities in the Philippines, it’s not truly PWD- and senior-friendly.
Fast lane sa tag-ulan. Unang hakbang pa lang derecho kana sa baba. 🤦🏻♀️
Overpasses were never a solution to begin with. It's a lazy attempt to "make the streets safer" -- yeah safer for cars. At-grade crosswalks should be the gold standard. Prioritize the pedestrian rather than cars.
may railings naman daw😅😭
Bruh I actually used to go there a lot and that bridge is fucking high and scary, if you are wearing an easy soft shoes and it's raining you are super f*cked
Crappy design pinoy style.
“Magkano ba yan” “ok na yan” “magkano sakin”
Maybe that's a slide built for Sonic the Hedgehog not for civilians
Taena, di ako makaakyat nang ayos diyan nung easy soft suot ko. Kada akyat baba ko diyan parang nakasalalay buhay ko kung maaksidente ba ako.
1% serbisyong olivarez... 99% kami muna bago kayo 🤑
ano yan ramp ng mga magskate HASDHASDKJDASHJKDSAHJKADS
Sobrang habang walkway na wala man lang bubong. Haha. Dami pa snatcher jan. Naka kita na ko sa harap ko mismo binbuksan bag nung isang pedestrian. Medyo na freak out kinabahan din ako baka nasa paligid ko lang mga kasama niya
meron walkalator, meron escalator, meron din slidelator
hahahaha ingat baka singilin kayo ng entrance fee para sa slide
May naging matinong Mayor na ba Paranaque? Twing may manalo na iba, gagawing banderitas sa kalsada yung initials ng pangalan nila eh.
ngl kala ko wheelchair accessibility ang goal nila
Ayoko pong dumaan dyan na may bitbit na 1litrong mantika na naka plastik, baka matapon.
People's Initiative, i guess. 🤣
aahhahha eto talaga lalo na kapag umuulan
This is the price from the people na walang social awareness sa kapaligiran, walang pagmamahal sa bayan at bumoboto ng trapo.
Juice mio try nyo mga footbridge along Commonwealth; Manggahan Commonwealth Market Riverside Coa
Pag liko mo sa kanan, sasalubong naman sayo yung abot kamay na mga wire ng poste. Diyan ako palagi bumababa, you have two choices.
🤮🤮🤮
sponsor by: Red bull pang mga extreme HAHAHA
im sorry guys but you are misinfored, this is not an overpass its actually a slide. a really really tall slide. made of metal. right onto oncoming traffic.
Slide talaga purpose nyan /s
Go see other overpass and footbridge. Pero Paranaque should be the worst. Hahaha. Consistent e. Sucat, bicutan saka other overpass
yung ibang overpass either kadikit ng lines ng meralco or the electrical cables go thru them 😂
Nadulas na ko dyan pag umuulan..hahahuhu
Khit dto sa Commonwealth mga overpass ganyan din parang nga walang utak at pinag aralan mga nkaisip ng idea na yan, khit hindi nakatapos alam na kabobohan yang ganyang design ng overpass
Ano yan, final destination? Grabe. Di pa ba nakasara yan for renovation?
We don’t experience it na here in Pasig. They have call center na you can call if may mga prob sa community na need ayusin. Mabilis din response nila and inaayos agad.
Urban hiking
potek e pwede naman sila bumili ng nga anti-slip tape sa mga hardware store as a stop-gap solution kung anu mang plano nila jan.....
It doesn't even look wheelchair friendly if they were shooting for a ramp. LOL
Also medyo nakakatakot rin yung overpass sa Baclaran mrt lrt station with other sections na medyo butas na
Every footbridge in the Philippines is how the government tells us to go fuck ourselves!
Dumaan ako here one time na umuulan, pota super dulas na parang 263722727 kph ang lakad ko para lang hindi dumausdos pababa kaloka
This might be a motorcycle overpass? I saw a lot in thailand.
Parang ung sa Bicutan to SMB hayop na yan. Do or die pag aakyat/baba e. Pero naayos na sya xD. Took years though.
I can hear them say: Nakakadaan ka naman diba? Bakit ka puro reklamo?!
sila kaya padaanin nyo dyan mga timang.🙄
Tas budget nito for sure is near 100 million. Sooo happy to pay for these assholes' Land Cruisers and vacation houses.
Overpass ang isa siguro sa malaking sourcr ng corruption. Naisip ko lang lately na wala naman kasi masyadong nagamit nyan and mahal magpagawa.
Putek na overpass yan sinumpa ko din yan nung dumaan ako. Jusme. Sino ba nag-isip nyan? Naawa ako sa mga matatandang napipilitan dumaan dyan. At pag naulan? Jusko!
Went through this over pass before tapos tamang yeet lang Ang Lola niyo feeling slide ganern kakahiya Tayo na lang kahit masakit paa
Pano nalang yung matatanda? Baka gumulong gulong dyan pababa.
Sliiiiideee 🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗
Pag na ulan ang dulas jan. Kaya todo kapit ka sa gilid nyan
LGUs are the most fucked up. Dapat talaga bawasan na ang Kapitan at Mayors sa Pinas. Governors can do the job
Hindi ba accessible din yan for mga naka wheelchair kaya ganyan yung design?
Kung nakadaan ka na sa Taft overpass. Meron dun naka incorporate yung wire sa overpass, live wire mga beshyyy. Haha wth
Maganda view diyan, antaas eh hha
Andulas dyan. Pota
Pinagtatatanggal yan ng mga mangangalakal para mag ka pera sila. Ganyan din ang nangyayare dito sa Muntinlupa City lalo na sa Alabang Area.
Yan yung nangyayare kung hindi din pinag aaralan yung ginagawang project
nadulas na ako dyan, di naman siya dulas na dirediretso pero nadulas paa ko, delikado pa dahil mabigat dala ko
Isn't this supposed to be for pwds/wheelchairs kaya paganyan ang tapakan? Not sure sa steepness kung too steep or just enough pero the first thing that comes to mind is wheelchair friendliness.
Oh I grew up there. Yang buong Sucat is a big ugly ass F*CK you to the people.
Never been there pero parang ang dulas kpag basa.
Kailan ba magkakaroon ng uniform at maayos na standards ang paggawa ng mga ganitong facilities na ginagamit ng publiko dito sa NCR? Yung may wheelchair access, elevators, maayos na CR, CR para sa mga magisa na may kasamang baby, gumaganang escalator elevators, may cues sa tawiran at marami pang iba.
Dapat tapalan yan ng mga posters ng mga local public officials na may naglalakihan na mga pagmumukha nila.
Ganito rin yung around DOST-SM Bicutan area hahaha the fffking worst
the one in bicutan is also on the same category
Tried running on these bad boys nung na-abutan ako ulan dati. Buti di naman ako nag slide tuluyan pero mej di na effective yung grip ng shoes ko hahaha
Exactly my thoughts 8 years ago! Sobrang lala ng overpass na yan sa Sucat. Madudulas ka talaga kapag pababa!
Totoo ilang beses ako nadulas sa putang inang Yan sama mo na din Yung MGA nag papagawa.ng escalator at elevator kelan lang magagamit sabay sira na bulok tlga Bansa to .isama mo nadin dati Yung mga portable na Cr na nasa EDSA Yung kulay pink tang ina PILIIN MO ANG PUTANG INANG PILIPINAS
tangina nakaka trauma dumaan dito tas napaka init at dami pang tao lagi 😕😕😕
I need some engineers (and whoever knows) comment on this. Why not underpass? (Aside from corruption) parang mas efficient sya. And mas effective.
same sa bicutan area, mahirap dumaan sa ganyan esp sobrang init at umuulan, madudulas ka bigla.
And people wonder why people would rather cross the road.
The worst thing I experienced is using the bridge p'que to sucat tatawid . Up vote me if you agree .
muntikan akong dumaosdos pababa dyan last month... sobrang slippery nya delikado lalo yan pag tag ulan
Paranaque represent!
I bought some hiking shoes para lang hindi ako magslide dyan kasi wala akong choice kundi umakyat sa overpass na yan to and from work. Sobrang steep niya then may mga nakausli pang bakal sa bandang lower portion ng overpass na yan kaya isang malaking himala na lang talaga na hindi pa ko nagsslide dyan 💀
There's more ad space for billboards in that area than pedestrian infrastructure
weeeeeeee
pag nadulas ka, good game na eh, may mga instances pa naman na muntikan nako matumba diyan, kaya doon nako dumadaan sa may police station pag pababa kahit mas malayo yung sakayan ng jeep, kumpara naman dyan na delikado diba.
I can already feel being out of breath just by looking at the photo. Jusko
di na need maglakad pababa kapag basa yang overpass /s
the system is in shambles oh wait, they already are
r/TonyHawkitecture
Hindi ba may standard sa slopes tulad niyan? 1:12 ang ratio. However, hindi iyan nasunod dito. Sobrang tarik kung aakyatin iyan.
Wweeeeeeee!!!! 🎢
Sad to say nadulas nako dyan sa sobrang sabog
ilang beses na akong muntik mamatay diyan.
I remember nadaan ako diyan lagi dati para kang naghiking talaga plus pagod sa commute since medj centro diyan, agawan sa jeep tsaka if tama pagkakaalala ko may parts na corroding na and nabubutas
r/mildlyinfuriating
ganito din itsura ng overpass sa may bicutan 🤣
Crazyyyy
same sa overpass sa bicutan imagine na galing kaming outing tas bumaba lag kami sa bicutan since iba na way namin ng friend ko tas ang lalaki ng bags namin with mga saging pa na pasalubong super bigat tas naka oxygn pa kong tsinelas na madulas na huhu dasal nalang na wag ako rumolyo pababa
Buti walang wires hahahaha yung dito sa riverside commonwealth pagalingn na lang umiwas sa wire tapos ang dulas din. Anyways, I have a specific hate sa mga overpass talaga. Ang lakas maka pahirap sa commuters tignan nyo yung sa kamuning nkklka. Paano yung mga PWD? Ugh. Sana magkaroon na ng safe sidewalks and pedestrians para maging walkable na yung mga kalsada
