MANILA, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Manila Bureau) – Private vehicles with only one person inside will soon be prohibited during rush hours on EDSA as part of the traffic reduction solution of the Metropolitan Manila Development Authority (MMDA).

Under the policy, set to be implemented this month, only vehicles with two or more passengers would have the privilege to traverse EDSA.

Soon after the new policy was announced, sales of mannequins rose by almost 100%, something that puzzled both the mannequin vendors and the MMDA.

Authorities cannot figure out what the mannequins will be used for.  Can you?
