MANILA, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Manila Bureau) – Expressing deep frustration that no one has ever come up with a permanent solution to the EDSA traffic nightmare, Senator Grace Poe who chairs the Senate Committee on Public Services, has unveiled her sure-fire proposal that would put technocrats to shame.

Today, Poe unveiled her proposal to construct walkways along the entire stretch of EDSA to lessen commuters’ dependence on buses, jeepneys and private cars while encouraging them to live healthy lives.

Poe’s master plan is to construct elevated, covered and airconditioned walkways, complete with travellators similar to what travelers use in airports around the world.

How could anyone object to this brilliant proposal —other than Vice President Leni Robredo whose transportation of choice is the provincial bus which could soon be banned from EDSA?
