A photograph of a seemingly pointless structure—a small footbridge stretching about 10 feet across a "road" that's too narrow for cars—has been making the rounds online, with netizens decrying the footbridge as another example of government stupidity, waste and corruption.
While there are many examples of those around, this is apparently not one of them. It is, in fact, a "mini-footbridge" built by the Metropolitan Manila Development Authority (MMDA) to teach children about road safety.
The MMDA even posted about the footbridge, showing it being used as it was intended to be used.
Facebook user Yves Gonzalez, who had taken the photo in question, replied to the latest outraged post about it.
