I am disappointed with the results of road widening

Morong Rizal   PHL   |  September 28, 2013

The PHL government must have spent millions for road widening and improvement at floodway and lately the Manila East Road.  The widening is supposed to make travel more convenient and safe, relieve congestion and the like.

However, most of the road widening  are used to parochial and selfish use of the residents.  Up to now procession jam traffic/travel from Quezon and Bicol region at Laguna and Batangas area.   The local government and the residents doing the procession could not care less?

Why is it that way?

Look at this Lagundi widening which is now used for Palay drying. After driving away roadside settlers, cutting of the trees, the multi million expenditure just ended up being used as palay drier.  How great?

Thanks to public officials for well paved cycling roads

We are thanking DPWH and other public officials for making well paved, smooth roads possible for cyclists in Bugarin, Pililla Tanay, Cardona, Binangonan, Morong, Teresa and Antipolo.  And all of these were done during the election period.

As biked last June 20, 2013, there were a number of projects going on:

l.  Km 63 to 64 (Rizal 2nd district)  -  putting of base coarse on the shoulder.

2.  Km 70 to 71 (Laguna 2nd district)  -  road widening

3. Km  111 to 110 (Laguna 2nd district)  Pangil road widening.

That is why it is such a joy to bike in these areas
