QUEZON CITY, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Quezon City Bureau) – In a remarkable display of efficiency and ingenuity, the Quezon City Government, in collaboration with the Metropolitan Development Authority (MMDA), has achieved the seemingly impossible. They’ve miraculously converted road lane dividers along a substantial stretch of EDSA-Kamuning into tombstones with planters, all in record time!
This bold endeavor, touted as a solution to the perpetual traffic woes of Metro Manila’s main thoroughfare, is nothing short of visionary. By allowing drivers to peacefully contemplate their existence while stuck in traffic, the city aims to reduce congestion and blood pressure levels simultaneously. But that’s not all! The innovative tombstones also serve as a thoughtful way to assist indigent QC residents who couldn’t afford traditional tombstones for their departed loved ones.
The timing couldn’t be more perfect, with this project being delivered just in time for UNDAS, the annual commemoration of All Souls’ Day and All Saints’ Day in the Philippines. Now, traffic mayhem and eternal rest can finally go hand in hand. Truly a milestone in urban planning!
