Duterte reveals plan to solve Metro Manila transpo woes

SOLVING TRAFFIC. Rodrigo Duterte says a fast train from a new airport in Clark, Pampanga might help traffic congestion both for airports and roads in Metro Manila. Photo by Alecs Ongcal/Rappler


He spends a chunk of his first speech in front of Metro Manila voters explaining his plans for trains, airports, seaports

MANILA, Philippines – Delayed flights, “carmageddon” on EDSA, endless lines of waiting passengers in train stations – Rodrigo Duterte says he’s familiar with the litany of transportation problems in Metro Manila.

The Davao City mayor told thousands of supporters in a November 29 concert that improving the transportation infrastructure of the mega-city would be among his priorities if he becomes president. (READ: Metro Manila has 'worst traffic on Earth' – Waze)

Duterte, who arrived two hours late at the concert due to a delayed flight, said these transportation woes have brought only suffering to citizens and have compromised ease of doing business.

He said Metro Manila lacks a good airport, seaport, and inter-city transportation infrastructure.

On seaports, trucks

Sympathizing with businessmen who use the Manila port, he said: “Ang pantalan, if you are a trader na palabas mo ang iyong goods or papasok, you would want the cheapest, the fastest, and walang istorbo maipasok kaagad. Eh paano mo maipasok, naka-parking lang diyan ilang araw na. Siguro ang mga driver dalawa na ang patay sa kakahintay.”

(For the port, if you are a trader with goods going in and out, you would want the cheapest, the fastest, and no disturbances, so they can be brought in right away. How do you do that when the trucks have been parked for several days? Probably two drivers are dead just waiting.)

The only solution, said Duterte, would be to transfer the port further south on Luzon island.

“You’ll just have to disperse. Transfer at the earliest possible time in Batangas or somewhere there,” he said.

The concentration of activities at the Manila port is a major contributing factor to traffic in Metro Manila, with trucks going all over the mega-city to and from the port.

On airports

As for airport infrastructure, Duterte said the Ninoy Aquino International Airport (NAIA) can no longer handle the current number of flights. (READ: NAIA among 'high-risk' airports in Asia-Pacific – global airlines)

“All the airplanes going to Manila are concentrated there so how can you arrive on time when at any given time there are about 30 passenger airplanes waiting to make the final approach to land? There’s no infrastructure,” he said.

His solution would be to make more use of Clark International Airport as an alternative airport and then build a fast train to deliver goods and commuters to Metro Manila.

“You have to have a fast train with two points of entry somewhere in Metro Manila that is not too crowded,” he elaborated.

On traffic jams

Duterte also said traffic on EDSA and everywhere else in the metro is because of “daily transactions of motor vehicles” and policies like number coding which merely encourage rich families to buy more cars.

To ease traffic jams, he said he would improve public transportation by buying 30 or 50 more train carriages. This way, people would not have to endure long lines. (READ: On the MRT: A capacity conundrum)

If that’s not enough, he has previously said that he intends to put up a new train line that will run along Pasig River, the only thoroughfare not embroiled in rights-of-way claims.

But for these major overhauls, he said the government would need money.

He proposes borrowing P60 billion from another country or international agency.

“I will not hold the money. I will create a high commission. They will be the ones to handle the money,” he said.

Borrowing money for government projects is nothing new. He said the late dictator Ferdinand Marcos Sr also borrowed some money from foreign entities.

“Maghiram ako ng pera kagaya kay Marcos. Panahon ni Marcos napaka-ganda ng bayang ito, kaya lang, Martial Law (I will borrow money like Marcos. In Marcos’ time, this country was beautiful, but Martial Law happened.),” he said.

The Sunday concert meant to promote Duterte’s tandem with Senator Alan Peter Cayetano was the mayor’s first public event in Metro Manila since he filed his candidacy through a representative last Friday, November 27.

He said he is going around the country because he believes support for him “is weak all over the Philippines.” – Rappler.com

kagaya kay Marcos. hmmm, then declare martial just like Marcos.

wag naman sana.

at least specific ang goals nya unlike any other candidates, na masyadong broad ang plataporma. i like Duterte for being straightforward and direct. Pero I doubt na qualified enough or eligible sya para gampanan ang pinakamabigat na responsibilidad sa bansa. Baka ma-overwhelm sya masyado kapag nalaman nya mga problema ng bansa. hehe  IMHO

Kaalaman ng problema ng pilipinas?

Poe - kelan lang nanatili sa pinas, mas may alam kaya sya kay Duterte na dito namuhay sa pinas ng buong buhay nya?
Binay - alam lang mamorsyento
Mar - pano naging problema ng gobyerno yan
Miriam - ?????

Alam ni Duterte an problema ng pinas - ang kawalan ng disiplina ng mga tao mapagobyerno man o pangkaraniwan n tao at un ang gusto nya itama..

nag-uumpisa ang disiplina sa sarili. Nasaan ang GMRC kung sa bawat pananalita ay may kasamang pagmumura. Isa sa mga naituro iyan noon ako'y nag-aaral sa pampublikong elementarya noong dekada 80. hindi tamang gamitin ang salitang P*****I**.

displina ng mga taong nasa gobyerno. nasaan ang displina ng ipapatay ang mga kriminal. kung ang dahilan nya sa pagtakbo ay dahil hindi naipatupad ang konstitusyon dahil sa pagpanig ng SET sa kandidatura ni Poe. Taong gobyerno sya na hindi sumusunod sa batas, pumapatay, nambababae...

Nasaan din ang disiplina nang pagsusuntukin ng anak nya ang isang marshall na nagtatrabaho lamang.

maaring gumanda ang takbo ng Pilipinas sa kanyang pamumuno kung papalarin na maging Pangulo. But i pity the Philippines and its people 10 to 20 years from now. Yung mga batang humahanga o umiidolo sa kanya ngayon na tatanda at posibleng gayahin ang kanilang idolo na nagmumura, nambababae, at pumapatay. Dahil para sa kanila ang pagmumura ay para maipakitang pagiging "passionate" sa mga bagay bagay. Ang pambababae/pakiki-apid ay dahil sa sobrang pagmamahal sa kapwa Pilipino. At ang pagpatay o ang paglalagay ng batas sa sariling kamay ay dahil sa katarungan.

Nasaan ang dispilina...

Ahmmm... Tanong lang guys, kung may doubts kayo kay Duterte. Sino Presidential bet nyo.... at bakit? Gusto ko lang malaman sagot nyo for me to learn more from you guys... Kung ekis senyo si Binay at Mar (na kailangan talagang hindi iboto haha) we have 2 options left, pero diba marami din nag-file for president? Or na-disqualified na din sila?

Para sakin walang matinong kandidato so I choose the least evil so ang akin si Miriam. Eto Hierarchy ko:

Mirian - Best and the brightest but a little crazy
Mar - Presumptious as fuck and incompetent but still better than Abnoy
Binay - Corrupt and Arrogant as fuck but is at least competent. Probably the one with the most achievement in the list alongside Duterte.
Poe - Is only popular cause of FPJ, nuff said.
Duterte - Ties Binay in competence but has worse character overall. If I have to choose, I'll choose a corrupt competent president rather than a competent terrorist president.

Maganda ung suggestion niya about building MRT lines along the Pasig river. Pero, the rest e re-hashed existing projects.

On-going na ung paglipat ng sea cargo load to Batangas and Subic ports.

Nag-increase na rin ng capacity ung Clark. Ang kulang na lang ngayon e train service between Clark and Manila dahil mababa pa rin ung volume ng passengers na willing mag-Clark.

Pihikan ako. Miriam, then Mar lang. Hindi ko na kn-consider ung iba. Wala naman sa gobyerno ang pag-asenso e. Kung kailangan ng perpektong gobyerno para umasenso e di sana lahat ng pinoy mahirap. Ang kailangan natin e stable na gobyerno.

Change is overrated. Ok lang ang pagbabago kung moderate. Ano ba nangyayari pag may 'drastic change' na gusto nyo? Naalala nyo ba ung panahon ni Cory? Ano nangyari sa USSR after nilang maghiwa-hiwalay? Sa Iraq nung napatalsik si Saddam?

ok na ok si miriam. she's got my trust. kaya lang di niya dinidisclose fully yung state of health niya. i mean that's the big C she got and what's that wala na 100%? even if she's cancer free, she cannot assure that it will not recur in near time. and if it does recur what na? we are up with a president who might not finish her term. so pano na? magkakatalo sa vice? e wala ding matinong vice sa lineup.

pusta ko if miriam wins the presidency, she might not finish her term due to her health.
 
dun nako sa sureball disiplinaryan, palamura at sabi niyong walang moral ethics. at least he's willing to do the dirty work for the sake of the people he serves. kung ayaw niyo sa kanya edi dun kayo sa magnanakaw, sa tanga o sa may sakit. yun ang pagpilian niyo.

Tingin ko sawa na ang mga tao magpatalsik ng presidente so kung sino man ang uupo na presidente, gago man o kurap hahayaan na lng ng mga pinoy. Kung si Miriam manalo, bka nga di magtagal dahil may problema sya s kalusugan.

Im not against Duterte pero parang doubtful kasi sya nung una. Urong-sulong. Hindi buo ang loob  sa pagtakbo bilang presidente.

Ill root for Miriam. Ill give her a chance this time, bago man lang sya kunin ni Lord (wag nman po sana). Sya kasi yung nakikita kong buo ang loob sa pagtakbo bilang presidente even with her illness. Lets not forget her track records and achievements as a senator.

Never say die mDS! :D
