I had just started commuting in Metro Manila when, like a bad dream, I found myself naked...
I should add that jeepneys are not even pretty anymore and no longer tourist attractions. They are often dirty and rusty, looking like they should have been consigned to the junk heap ages ago.
Protests against higher fares of the Metro Rail Transit (MRT) and Light Rail Transit (LRT) trains underscore once again the pressing need for efficient, reliable and affordable mass transport systems.
My traffic ordeal seems to be every day; the unpredictable now is predictable—there is ALWAYS traffic on Edsa.
One early Sunday night, my brother, Wally, decided to take the MRT to check on his office in Quezon City. As he alighted with other passengers, he called up his daughter to ask about plans for that night.
