Rage against the system

I do not have anything against the current government. Well, atleast to be frank about what’s happening, i just have very few concerns though. You see, its been quite a while since i consider Metro Manila an oasis, my refuge.. my home away from home.

Its quite unusual that i do not get homesick or whatsoever because of the nature of my work (read: communicate, interact with my fellow humans). Now, my concerns include the heavier traffic along la salle schools (those in greenhills, which is the way to my office and in taft, when going home).

I have analyzed that the ratio of a "sundo" to a student is indeed 1:1. So you can just imagine the supposedly public highway becoming a parking area for these "haves". What about the "have-nots?" I’m not trying to aggravate the situation by complaining. I just wanted to stress out the importance of being considerate and knowing what social responsibility truly means. I do not want to lecture about it because i too am not a perfect citizen, atleast, im a tax payer now.

My question is, what are other remedies available (if there’s any) to actually provide decongestion in these areas where i frequent most, otherwise, i’d always end up telling myself, "one-day, government infrastructures will comprise most of fly-overs and c-6, c-7’s (apart from c-5) instead of additional classrooms, clinics which our country badly needs.

I do not wish to carry all the burden of our public servants neither do i want to run for a public office someday, i just feel the need to exercise my freedom of thought and expression until democracy lasts…
