How can you miss a major airport out of a public transport network?

Sydney went without one for many decades but finally added a rail system - sadly they then charged us an extra $10 (P440) on top of the normal Cityrail fare to get off there.

Its really embarrassing that we don't have a well organized public transport system with schedules, etc. Many cities smaller than us have FULL coverage of their territory with various mass transport system.

On another note, has NO bus company ever thought of getting passengers to/from NAIA to let's say makati?

It stuns me that nobody has come up with the idea of a door to door hotel shuttle (mini) bus serving areas of many hotels.
Could be a good business until rail moves in. But even then, rail would likely be way to inconvenient for most users to get to their hotel.

Dalawang * yan ac..hmmm, anu pa ba ang clue, meron bang letrang "C" sa dalwang yan? :nuts:
^^ Yup... May C nga. Pero di ko puwedeng sabihin na sa south sya naka tira.. :ahihihi: este :lol:


IMPO, yung GCT WILL NOT happen hanggang hindi nagagawa ang MRT 7.

Yung MRT7, parang nawala na nga ang balita dito. pero diba SMC na naka tengga dito.

^^ in short wala rin pag asa ang GCT. :nuts:

Kung magiging seamless na ang MRT/LRT. Useless na ang GCT dba?

Ang kailangan talagang gawin ay expand ang North Ave station ng MRT.

There are not even any buses from the airport to the center of Manila so the taxis have a monopoly and charge extortionate fares, especially if you are a American or European you pay even more.

Wrong. There are buses to the airport from the city center (Malanday-NAIA, Fairview-NAIA, etc.), and these buses in fact are frequently full. However, tourists are normally not aware of this information, and so the vast majority of bus patrons are locals, not tourists.

There's also a shuttle between NAIA-3 and Taft Avenue MRT Station, and Nichols railway station (PNR) is a somewhat bearable walk away on foot (around two kilometers).

It stuns me that nobody has come up with the idea of a door to door hotel shuttle (mini) bus serving areas of many hotels.

There are no shuttles serving multiple hotels, but the hotels have shuttle services to the airport.

Hinuli yung mga Rugby Boys de silong MRT tracks

However, tourists are normally not aware of this information, and so the vast majority of bus patrons are locals, not tourists.


Why are there no signs in the terminals indicating where the bus station is?

Every major airport has signs showing where to get bus/coach, WC or taxi or rail, etc.

I would have thought the Travel Tax or Terminal Fee would have paid for plenty of such signs.

Ralph Recto is right about MRT fare (http://www.philstar.com/Article.aspx?publicationSubCategoryId=66&articleId=726817)

DEMAND AND SUPPLY By Boo Chanco
(The Philippine Star) Updated September 14, 2011 12:00 AM


Ralph Recto is right. P-Noy and DOTC Secretary Mar Roxas will have to think of a better excuse to raise MRT fares than to say that it is unfair to the provincianos. Conceptually, P-Noy and Mar are looking at total taxes collected nationwide when they make such policies like subsidizing anything. From that perspective, it does seem unfair that such a large sum of money is being lavished on a subsidy just for MRT riders.

According to P-Noy, nearly P7 billion in subsidy is given to the operations of MRT. He said the actual cost of operating the railway from Taft, Manila to North Avenue, Quezon City was P55 per passenger compared to the P15 being charged currently. According to ABS-CBN, P-Noy said the savings in MRT subsidy could be used to build mass transit systems in the provinces.

Teka muna. Outside of Cebu and possibly Davao, I can’t think of any other provincial area that needs mass transport systems similar to the MRT. Then again too, Ralph is correct when he said that “people in the provinces are not actually complaining nor up in arms over their supposed subsidy of MRT-LRT riders in Metro Manila…”

Recto, who chairs the tax making ways and means committee of the Senate, is right to point out that in fact, it’s the other way around since most of the taxes raised by the government are contributed by folks and industries in Metro Manila, which are then redistributed to the poor provinces. The MRT subsidy, Recto said, are in reality the same taxes paid by Metro Manila residents that are merely returned to them.

“No one in the provinces like in Batanes, Batangas or in Capiz, Tarlac and even in Tawi-Tawi is subsidizing a rider in Metro Manila. In fact, it’s Metro Manila that is subsidizing the P39.4-billion CCT program that would benefit most of the provinces,” Recto said, referring to the multi-billion conditional cash transfer (CCT) program of the government for 2012.

Recto cited figures to prove his point. Of the programmed tax revenues of P1.445 trillion in the 2012 budget, people in Luzon and, specifically those in the National Capital Region (NCR) will contribute a huge part of that. Recto noted that in 2010, Metro Manila cities of Quezon, Makati, Manila and Caloocan contributed P281.8 billion of the P337 billion that were collected from the 19 revenue regions of the Bureau of the Internal Revenue (BIR).

In fact, Recto observed, even the combined tax collections from Bicol provinces down to Tawi-Tawi only amounted to P56.2 billion – which is well below Quezon City’s collection of P75.8 billion. He further said the aggregate P23.5 billion taxes collected in five Mindanao revenue regions in one year only represented the eight-month collection performance of the City of Manila.

“And remember the LTS - Large Taxpayer Section – which collected P457 billion in 2010 is NCR-based and a great chunk of what it collects is attributable to income generated in Metro Manila,” Recto pointed out. Recto is correct… fair is fair.

Besides, Mar and even P-Noy must realize that in major cities of the world, governments do subsidize mass transport systems. It is a practical if not a very tangible public service. The absence of mass transit can only produce more problems for society ranging from inequality of social access to jobs or health consequences through pollution from all the motor vehicles tooling around. Also, lost national productivity due to traffic jams!

I also take the view that the MRT-LRT is one very tangible benefit received by the working middle class for the taxes they pay. I understand that most of the taxes collected still come from salaried employees, the type who would use the MRT. The MRT subsidy is as good a use of tax money as the CCT which subsidizes the poor for being poor.

If Mar wants to make a mark at DOTC, what he should be doing instead is to fast track proposals to build more MRTs to connect nearby provinces to Metro Manila. This will help decongest NCR. Workers can live outside the metro area but still be able to work in the city because there is fast and cheap transport available.

Mar the technocrat should not just look at the numbers his technocrat assistants show him. He must use his investment banking skills to see how to reduce the subsidy through other means like the commercial possibilities of the MRT route.

Ramon Ang once told me that he was bold enough to offer an unsolicited bid for the entire PNR line and of course, LRT 7 to San Jose del Monte Bulacan because he can make money with commercial operations along the route. There are of course advertising along the tracks and mini malls along the stops.

The problem of Mar is that the private sector proponents of MRT who have mostly sold out their interests took all those potential commercial possibilities for themselves and left government to subsidize the fare completely. Mar must now use his investment banking skills to figure a way out of the quagmire and wrest complete government control of the MRT including its commercial portions. That’s how to be creative and people oriented. Fares may be very gradually raised but only after Mar has shown he has exhausted all other avenues and this is the only way to go.

Or just let Manny Pangilinan’s group take over and leave them the problem of where to get the subsidy for the public fare. One thing is sure… it is untimely to raise fares at a time when the public has not seen any improvement in MRT services.

One more thing… subsidizing public transport is actually an accepted government policy or how would they explain Pantawid Pasada which subsidizes the diesel used by jeepney drivers? Is that just to keep them quiet? If MRT riders make noise, will the subsidy to their fare be okay?

Mar, the man who would be President, must prove he has what it takes to handle a problem though not simple, is not as complex as trying to run this country.

There are no shuttles serving multiple hotels, but the hotels have shuttle services to the airport.

I remember using one of these in 2009 to get to a hotel in Ermita.
They charged P1000 for it.
I thought it amuusing at the time as it was the only goods or service that was more costly than here.
A multiple hotel shuttle would have to do as well there as they do here. They thrive here, legally or otherwise.
Still a rail link would be great to NAIA.

Why are there no signs in the terminals indicating where the bus station is?

Every major airport has signs showing where to get bus/coach, WC or taxi or rail, etc.

I would have thought the Travel Tax or Terminal Fee would have paid for plenty of such signs.

NAIA-1 and NAIA-2: There are, as far as I remember. The station however is outside the terminal building.

NAIA-3: Buses which serve NAIA-3 stop at Resorts World, not the airport proper.

Manila is included in that group of "major airports" that "has signs showing where to get bus/coach, WC or taxi or rail, etc." The airport isn't perfect, but we make do with what we have.

It also does not help that the travel warnings issued by major countries (especially the United States) specifically warn against using public transport in Manila for safety and security reasons.

about sa CCT parang binuhay lang yung KALSADA NATIN ALAGAAN NATIN..me mga qualifications pala yun kailangan mga nag aaral na anak nasa 85 ave ang mga grades

This is the Trinoma open parking area and that's the MRT track going underground to the (maintenance) terminal w/c is below Trinoma

Thanks.

I like that idea:lol::lol::lol:

Sana gawing first class style ang mga coaches, tignan mo, kung puro medyo sosie at maporma ang sasakay dito maraming gagaya kase pang rich na ang MRT/LRT:lol::lol::lol:



Actually, they have that in Dubai. I am not sure if it is a success though.

NAIA-1 and NAIA-2: There are, as far as I remember. The station however is outside the terminal building.

There are no signs in the airport showing where the buses are.
You now claim there are signs showing where the buses are but not in the airport ?

NAIA-3: Buses which serve NAIA-3 stop at Resorts World, not the airport proper.

So the buses do not go to or depart from NAIA-3 but are almost a kilometre away ?

Manila is included in that group of "major airports" that "has signs showing where to get bus/coach, WC or taxi or rail, etc." The airport isn't perfect, but we make do with what we have.

Is it too ambitious to have signs in the airport terminals showing passengers where they could get a bus - we make do with what we have because we can not afford them ?

It also does not help that the travel warnings issued by major countries (especially the United States) specifically warn against using public transport in Manila for safety and security reasons.


Passengers should not travel by bus for security reasons and that is why there are no buses from the airport ?

'No need for MRT, LRT fare hikes'
By Jess Diaz (The Philippine Star) Updated September 15, 2011 12:00 AM Comments (33)

MANILA, Philippines - Rep. Teddy Casiño of the party-list group Bayan Muna clarified yesterday that there is no need to increase fares for the Metro Rail Transit (MRT) and Light Rail Transit (LRT) lines in Metro Manila.

“This is because subsidies are in place this year and next year. The House has just approved in record time another subsidy of P7.293 billion for next year,” he said.

He said it seems that it is the policy of the House and possibly of the Senate to continue subsidizing MRT and LRT to prevent an increase in fares.

However, Transportation Secretary Manuel Roxas II said the government is bent on increasing fares of the MRT and LRT so that part of the subsidy could be used for other development projects.

“It’s just a matter of time,” Roxas said.

President Aquino has defended his administration’s plan to adjust MRT and LRT fares, saying the tariff should be P55, instead of the present P15, or a subsidy of P40 per passenger.

MRT, the rail line along EDSA from Caloocan City to Pasay City, transports about 500,000 commuters every day.

Actually, the President, in his proposed P1.8-trillion 2012 national budget, has reduced the MRT subsidy from this year’s P7.3 billion to P4.3 billion, or by P3 billion.



Casiño did not respond to questions on how he arrived at the P7.3-billion subsidy figure.

Meanwhile, Samar Rep. Mel Senen Sarmiento echoed Roxas’ argument that taxpayers in the provinces are subsidizing MRT passengers in Metro Manila.

“The subsidy program is unduly benefiting residents of Metro Manila. We cannot go on giving subsidy at P7 billion a year. People in the provinces ride on jeepneys, tricycle, habal-habal, or pump boats without being subsidized by the national government. Manila is not the Philippines,” he said.

He said part of the annual MRT subsidy should instead be used to upgrade infrastructure like airports in the provinces.

The government was set to adjust fares during the time of Roxas’ predecessor, former transportation secretary Jose de Jesus, but the plan was postponed indefinitely.

The MRT’s minimum fare of P15 was to go up to P25, which is the minimum fare for FX taxicabs.

Sarmiento said he supports the development plan being pushed by Roxas for community airports.

“Right now, we have 86 airports all over the country but only around 40 of them have regular flights. So if we want to entice more tourists to the provinces, it is imperative that we improve these airports,” he said.

He said developing airports complements the open skies policy of the administration, which aims to attract more tourists by having direct flights from other countries to regional destinations here.

“If we want tourism to boom, we should use part of the MRT subsidy to develop our provincial airports,” he added.

Roxas was at the House of Representatives to defend the budget of his department.

The lawmakers swiftly approved the budget of the Department of Transportation and Communications.

Roxas said the planned fare hikes for the MRT and the LRT have long been a subject of discussions in Malacañang and the President had told him to find ways to defer the fare hikes.

“Our lawmakers representing our countrymen in the provinces are saying that every peso that supports the subsidies for the MRT and the LRT, is a peso that is not going to the development their airports, ports, and RoRo (roll-on, roll-off) facilities,” Roxas told reporters.

“We don’t want additional burden for our countrymen but we have limited amounts of money (for subsidies),” he said.

When asked whether the fare hikes for the MRT and LRT would be held off at least for this year, Roxas said: “I can’t say that. I don’t want to say something definite. We don’t want that to happen as much as possible.” – With Paolo Romero

This is really cool - Thailand's plan for high speed train.

Tanggalin na rin ang Pantawid Pamilyang Pilipino kung gano'n. Unfair na nakikinabang sa tax naming mga taga-Metro Manila ang mga mahihirap na probinsya.

Metro Manila is not the Philippines, but it is still the largest cash cow of the country. Majority of the tax collections come from those who are working in Metro Manila. Hindi ba makatarungang makinabang ang middle class ng Metro Manila sa tax remittances nila (e.g. in the form of transportation subsidy)?

And the national government really does not need to resort to sucking money from the tax remittances of the other provinces as what they give is nothing compared to what Metro Manila gives the national government.

I find nothing wrong with the government having programs to alleviate poverty in the countryside as the further development of MM may also lie in the development of other regions of PH. But, depriving the working class who pays taxes such benefits seem to be over the edge.

Puro non-taxpayers na lang ba ang dapat laging suportahan ng pamahalaan?

^^ The CCT is in line with government's poverty alleviation program.

Anyway, the high speed rail is still in government's radar. :cheers:

DPWH mulls constructing 'smart tunnels' on EDSA
by RG Cruz, ABS-CBN News
Posted at 09/15/2011 5:41 PM | Updated as of 09/15/2011 5:41 PM

MANILA, Philippines – The Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH) is mulling the construction of either an elevated highway or smart tunnels on EDSA to decongest traffic in the thoroughfare.

DPWH Secretary Rogelio Singson told reporters that the government needs to address the traffic on EDSA but government no longer has any right of way to implement.

This is why he said the DPWH is studying the construction of either an elevated EDSA or smart tunnel.

He said the agency is now doing a technical evaluation.

Singson said an elevated EDSA won’t cost as much as a smart tunnel.

However, he said a smart tunnel has long term benefits.

Singson said tunnels can be built on top of each other, with the tunnels serving as water tunnels to relieve the streets of floods during heavy downpours.

Singson said the construction of a tunnel also won't be as disruptive on traffic as much as an elevated tunnel would.

For now, he said the government is focused on finalizing the link between the North Luzon Expressway (NLEx) and South Luzon Expresway (SLEx) and the high speed rail to Clark.

He said the 2 structures can co-exist on the same alignment.

Singson said the projects aimed at relieving traffic on EDSA could begin before the end of the current administration.

Singson addressed the media after his agency's 2012 budget proposal hurdled the debates at the House of Representatives plenary.

Just a question. What if they do cut down the number of PUB and PUJs plying along EDSA and increase the LRT/MRT frequency by adding more train and coaches? Will this help do you all think? With that idea, I believe adding BRT and phasing out some PUBs and and PUJs along edsa would be very beneficial. I wonder if the government can encourage PUB owners to invest instead in government assisted BRT program so in essence, it is privatized and would be under government- private partnership program. This way, some of the bus drivers and "kundoktor" can still be hired. They would have to be retained though, it's like sending them to obdient schools so they would know how to follow the traffic rule :lol:

Manila MRT 7 seen completed in '14:banana::banana:

MANILA, Philippines—Conglomerate San Miguel Corp. (SMC) expects to complete two of its big-ticket infrastructure projects—the MRT 7 train line and a new highway to La Union—by 2014 and 2015, respectively.
In a disclosure earlier this week, the company said it would start work on the Metro Rail Transit (MRT) line 7 project—involving the construction of a 22-kilometer train line and the six-lane road beneath it—before the end of the year.
The project is estimated to cost $1.5 billion, with 25 percent to be funded by equity and the rest through loans.
SMC expects to shell out over $190 million for the project.
“It is expected to take three and a half years from the fourth quarter of 2011 to complete MRT 7,” SMC said.
The MRT 7 project will have 14 train stations from San Jose del Monte in Bulacan to the corner of North Avenue and Epifanio de los Santos Avenue (Edsa) in Quezon City.
It will be linked with the MRT-3 train line and the Light Rail Transit (LRT) line 1 via a common station in North Avenue.
On Nov. 8, 2010, SMC acquired a 51-percent equity interest in Universal LRT, which holds the concession for MRT-7, a planned expansion of the metro rail system in Manila, home to more than 10 million people.
MRT 7 is one of the several rail extension projects for the existing metro rail system, which services Metro Manila.
SMC will have 25 years to operate the train line.
In the meantime, the conglomerate said the first phase of the Tarlac-Pangasinan-La Union Expressway (TPLEx) project, the stretch from Tarlac to Carmen, Pangasinan, was scheduled for completion by August 2012.
Revenue collection through toll will start immediately after the first phase is opened, “while the remainder of the expressway is projected to be completed by August 2014,” SMC said.
SMC currently holds a 25-percent stake in TPLEx concessionaire Private Infrastructure Development Corp. (PIDC), which is a joint venture between DM Consunji Inc. and DM Wenceslao & Associates Inc.
SMC has the right to increase its stake in the company through a P3.32-billion equity investment, which will help fund the project. This will increase SMC’s interest in the company to a controlling 51 percent.
The project cost for the development of TPLEx was estimated at P821.6 billion, which will be funded by a combination of debt (45.8 percent), equity (40.8 percent) and Philippine government subsidy (13.4 percent.)
The government subsidy will be available at the start of construction of Stage 3 of TPLEx, the section from Urdaneta to Rosario, Pangasinan.

The government subsidy will be available at the start of construction of Stage 3 of TPLEx, the section from Urdaneta to Rosario, Pangasinan.

Now where did you get this article from.

Again with the MRT-7. I do hope this line and any other future metro lines in Metro Manila would be heavy rail or full metro instead of light rail.

^^ Also, RS and Signaling capability with the existing rail lines. Also, sana mala LRT-2 ang design.

He got to be joking right? Has he been to the different railroad yards and the inside of the workings in the Transit subway system? Had he seen the $500 millions yearly infrastructure projects going on through out the system? So people who work the 6AM to 11PM jobs will have an uninterrupted and smooth ride. There are new trains in the systems because they are past the 15 years cycle.

Example;
This L train line photo below run in automatic mood. The motorman is only there to see if the train is running normal and just in case if unauthourized person walking on the track so to take over the train. The conductor is there to check if any person is stock between doors and the indication light failed to function properly and to give security to the passengers that there is an employee on board to give emergency assistance.

The motorman has to touch system console just to be sure he is not sleep or reading papers which flashes at interval and he has to touch them or the train will go in emergency brake. The information will be transmitted automatically to the dispatcher console system of what happen on that particular train.

Tanggalin na rin ang Pantawid Pamilyang Pilipino kung gano'n. Unfair na nakikinabang sa tax naming mga taga-Metro Manila ang mga mahihirap na probinsya.

Metro Manila is not the Philippines, but it is still the largest cash cow of the country. Majority of the tax collections come from those who are working in Metro Manila. Hindi ba makatarungang makinabang ang middle class ng Metro Manila sa tax remittances nila (e.g. in the form of transportation subsidy)?

And the national government really does not need to resort to sucking money from the tax remittances of the other provinces as what they give is nothing compared to what Metro Manila gives the national government.

I find nothing wrong with the government having programs to alleviate poverty in the countryside as the further development of MM may also lie in the development of other regions of PH. But, depriving the working class who pays taxes such benefits seem to be over the edge.

Puro non-taxpayers na lang ba ang dapat laging suportahan ng pamahalaan?

First of all, there is a reason why it is called a national government. The country's money is for everyone, not just for metro manila. Also, these poor provinces made it possible for Metro Manila to become the most successful city in the country. For the fact that it is the National Capital Region, most of the country's money was used or is being used for the developments of Metro Manila.

^^Laki din pala ng difference between LRT1 and 3G.

Metro Manila contributes 33% to the country's GDP. I would think MM's contribution to the overall tax revenues would be much higher in percentage or equal to that.

It is more than just the rolling stock but also the stations. And some stations within NYC subway are filthy.

MRT should buy new or second hand trains, not trams.

Sa bagay. Full metro na nga naman yun.

Metro Manila contributes 33% to the country's GDP. I would think MM's contribution to the overall tax revenues would be much higher in percentage or equal to that.

I can't come up with a figure. But has it always been like that since the beginning of our national government? My point is, MM wouldn't be as it is right now if it wasn't for the help of the rest of the country.

^^ That NCR contribution on the over all revenue in the national treasury is always been a sticky issue here but I do agree with you about your comment on what @sulong mentioned, thats being too biased and insensitve.

Anyway, if the national government can't really afford to run and maintain LRT/MRT through subsidy they should really just privatize it, the only thing is that the fares might not be favorable to the majority of the masses.

^^ Once again, it's a politically sensitive issue...

Bakit 4-car configuration lang?

These are the configurations of the NYC transit cars. They describe it, the first car is the father, the second and third cars are the children and the last car is the mother. The first and the fourth car have motors while the second and third have no motors even though they have contact shoes to the third rail to assist each other or connected in parrallel so that the contact shoes are in constant contact to the power source. It minimized the weight of the train since the first and the fourth car have enough power to carry the passengers.

The New York subway cars seems to have an 8 car config instead of 4. The only thing is, the rolling stock used are not as long as those used in The LRT-2 Purple line.

Also NYC subway cars are not interconnected. Hard to explain but you can only stay in one car. Unlike the LRT-2 you can walk from the back of the car all the way to the front. You can't do that with NYC's subway cars.

On the other hand, the longest car configuration seem to be those of HK, Seoul and Tokyo.

I really do think that we need more than 4 cars because our current configuration as far as i know is about 6-9 cars (two to three linked trams) and a 4-car metro would only have roughly as much capacity as the current rolling stock.

^^ You'd have to retrofit existing stations to accommodate the longer trains, which would be prohibitively expensive for the LRTA to do.

How about having lets say the two extra cars that are not accommodated by the stations have their doors stopped from opening.

On the other hand, the longest car configuration seem to be those of HK, Seoul and Tokyo.

Tokyo has the longest. The trains on Tokyo Metro Tozai line are 10 carriage long.

Hong Kong MTR trains are mostly 8 carriage long.

You are talking about (Pullman - Standard) R-62 model cars. Passengers cannot go to the next car. The reason was for safety. These models are 75 feet in length/car, as these trains travel of maximum set speed of 40 mph at a curved tracks there's a tendency to slam the passengers back against the seat.

minimum platform length per station is 630 feet or 192 meters

How about having lets say the two extra cars that are not accommodated by the stations have their doors stopped from opening.

Instead of extending the station platforms how about adding more trains which I mean the interval of trains arriving the station is every 5 minutes during rush hours.

Another solution is adding more trains and if possible, change signalling system to ATO (Automatic Train Operation).

ATO system allows automated operation, as well as increasing frequency, up to 3 minutes each train during peak hour.

I would not be surprised since the volume of rail commuters in Tokyo is very high.

Same with HK since a huge number of the city's population depends on The MTR.

http://www.sunstar.com.ph/davao/business/2011/09/18/tabije-provinces-are-subsidizing-manila-180147

Tabije: The provinces are subsidizing Manila

THE national papers were abuzz last week on the arguments between DOTC Sec. Roxas and Sen. Recto (and joined in by different columnists) on whether or not provincial taxpayers are subsidizing the MRT & LRT in Metro Manila. I submit that this is an issue that goes beyond the MRT & LRT.

Sec. Roxas argues that there is a need to increase the MRT & LRT fares as the provinces are subsidizing their operations. Sen. Recto argues the opposite—that it is Metro Manila that is subsidizing the provinces. His conclusion stems from the fact that a substantial part of the national taxes is collected in MM. He cites, for example, that Makati, Quezon City and Caloocan alone collected P281-B of the total collection of P337-B nationwide. That's a whopping 83% of the total collection!

Let's do a deeper analysis using other statistical indicators. Official government (NCSB) statistics reveal that the NCR’s contribution to the national GDP is only 33%. A simplified definition of GDP is "the market value of all the goods and services produced by labor and property located in a certain region."

So how do we explain the "exceptional ability" of just 3 major cities in NCR contributing 83% of the nation’s tax collection when the whole NCR just contributes 33 % to the country's GDP?

Consider these: A substantial part of the country’s GDP are contributed by export companies in such industries as mining (gold, copper, etc.), fruits (bananas, mangoes, etc.), sugar, coconut oils, electronic products, and others. What is common among these companies? Their revenues are derived in the provinces. But what do you know, these companies’ head offices are located in Metro Manila (MM) -- there is where they pay their taxes, of course! No sweat, MM, huh?

Here's more. The country's biggest banks have their branches in all the provinces nationwide. These branches all contribute to the banks’ revenues. But all their taxes are paid at their respective head offices, located in Metro Manila, of course!

What about the other big companies selling their products in the provinces — petroleum products, cigarettes, liquors, beers, books, office supplies, cars, trucks, heavy equipments, computers, cell phones, cell phone services, clothes, the list is long. Where do they pay their taxes? In their respective headquarters in Metro Manila, of course!

We can even argue this provincial subsidy to MM beyond taxes. All the biggest banks have their headquarters in MM. It is no secret that their provincial branches send most of their deposits to their respective headquarters. Significant parts of these deposits are then lent out to the big businesses, which build high-rise buildings, huge malls, invest in new businesses, etc. — located mostly in MM, of course.

One of the biggest groups of workers that contribute significantly to country's economy is the OFWs. As you know, most of them are from the provinces. However, their contributions don't figure in the tax collection figures in the provinces as they are legally tax-exempt. But what do you know, a substantial part of their savings deposited in the provincial branches of big banks go to the bank's headquarters and similarly invested in MM as described above.

Does anyone still believe that MM is subsidizing the provinces?

^the above article makes sense. Having the tax collection as a basis for this subsidy argument is not so accurate and doesnot tell us the whole picture. Bottom line, mrt/lrt fare should be hiked. I myself is a daily mrt user but i favor train fare hike.

^^ May black eyeliner ka?? :nuts: Halukayin mo na lang ang kikay kit ni Fall.. :ahihihi: este :lol:

Dudugas ako sa ate at nanay ko. :lol:

---

Yes to Fare Hike, but a big NO that the budget slashed goes to the CCT Program.

^^ trains are the primary mode of transportation in japan

Ironic cause the majority of the automobiles that most Filipinos and Asians drive comes from that country.

^^ Mura e! (Subic then, Port of Manong Johnny now :D)

Serious note, most of the Japanese ODA comes in the form of tollways, roads, bridges which favors them as we will buy more Japanese made vehicles.

^^ Mura e! (Subic then, Port of Manong Johnny now :D)

Planking
by Bineza Zapanta Photo by: Rene Sandajan Sep 23, 2011 7:40pm HKT
NAUUSO at mabilis na kumakalat ngayon ang planking o ang pagdapa sa sahig o sa isang bagay sa pampublikong lugar na ang mga kamay ay nasa tagiliran at ang mga paa ay magkadikit, ang mga daliri ay naka-point.
Hindi maituturing na planking ang pagdapa kung hindi ito kukunan ng litrato at kung hindi ipo-post sa internet o social networking site.
Ito ay mayroon ring kumpetisyon na kung saan ang mga kalahok o “plankers” ay naghahanap ng pinaka-wow na pwesto o lugar na pagpa-planking-an.
Nagkalat na ang mga litrato nito sa internet kung saan kanya-kanya ng pakulo o lugar ng pagpa-planking-an gaya sa ibabaw ng bubong, sa ibabaw ng kotse, sa gitna ng kalsada, sa sanga ng puno at mayroon pa nga sa ibabaw ng nitso at inidoro.
Sa Pilipinas ang planking ay ginagawa rin ng mga nagpo-protesta sa gobyerno. Sa katunayan, nag-planking ang ilang miyembro ng transport groups sa isinagawa nilang tigil-pasada upang kondenahin ang nakaambang pagtaas ng pasahe sa MRT at LRT at ang nakatakdang pagpapataw ng VAT sa toll fees sa Oktubre.
Nag-planking rin ang mga estudyante sa kanilang kilos-protesta kanina upang tutulan ang gagawing pagtapyas sa budget ng state universities and colleges (SUCs) para sa 2012.
Naging kontrobersyal ang planking dahil sa kung paano ito gamitin ng tao at kung saan ito ginawa.
Saan nga ba nag-ugat ang planking?
Ayon sa Wikipedia ang planking ay sinasabing nagsimula noong 1994.
May ring nagsasabi na isang Gary Clarkson at isang Christian Langdon ang mga nagpasimuno ng planking noong 2000 at unang sumikat sa North East England. Ito ay mabilis na kumalat sa buong mundo at tinagurian ding “playing dead.”
Variations ng planking
1. Teapotting -Dito ay ikokorte ang mga kamay sa hugis ng teapot. Ito ay pinauso ng mga guro ng Mortlake College matapos na sumikat ang planking at hinango sa children’s song na “I’m A Little Teapot.”
2. Owling – Sa owling ay mag-i-squat na parang isang kuwago (owl).
3. Batmanning -Iha-hung ang sarili up-side down, na parang isang paniki.

Sen. Arroyo: Constitutional crisis looms over toll, rail fees
By Cathy Yamsuan
Philippine Daily Inquirer

A constitutional crisis could result if Malacañang insists on enacting unpopular tax and budget measures that the Senate and the Supreme Court had already opposed.
Senator Joker Arroyo warned President Benigno Aquino III he would be courting embarrassment unless the Palace rethinks its position on the planned implementation of the 12-percent value-added tax (VAT) on toll on the North and South Luzon Expressways and the withdrawal of the government subsidy in the Metro Rail and Light Rail Transits (MRT-LRT).
He also said the President must take seriously the plan of court employees to wear black armbands in protest of the impending cut in the judiciary’s 2012 budget.
Thirteen senators so far have signed a resolution expressing their opposition to the impending imposition of a 12-percent VAT on toll fees on expressways.
They also warned that the withdrawal of the subsidy from the MRT and LRT would result in higher fares and would burden low paid commuters.
The signatories included Senate President Juan Ponce Enrile, Pro Tempore Jose “Jinggoy” Estrada, Majority Leader Vicente Sotto III, Minority Leader Alan Peter Cayetano, Pia Cayetano, Francis Escudero, Gregorio Honasan, Loren Legarda, Ferdinand Marcos Jr., Ralph Recto, Ramon Revilla Jr., Antonio Trillanes and Arroyo.
“Not only is it unhealthy,” Arroyo said of Malacañang’s insistence on the VAT despite the strong public objection.
“There might be a constitutional crisis in the sense that there is a fight between two co-equal branches, the judiciary and executive, or Congress and the executive. When there are arguments or disputes…magkakaroon ng malisya (there would be malice) because of the conflict,” he said.
“The resolution indicates the sentiment of the Senate. If we have an opinion and (Malacañang) dismisses it, what kind of a relationship is that? Patigasan, eh (Standing tough),” Arroyo said.
Arroyo, however, assured the public the situation would not mean the Senate would become more obstructionist in dealing with Palace-certified priority measures.
In the case of the court employees’ objection to the planned reduction of the judiciary’s 2012 budget to P13.396 billion, Arroyo said this was closely related to Malacañang’s move to collect all the savings of the Supreme Court and other constitutional bodies and lump them under the Miscellaneous Personnel Benefit Fund (MPBF).
“The SC is warning that reducing its budget would be against the Constitution, because you can only increase but not decrease from the present budget. Otherwise, there would be problems,” Arroyo said.
Arroyo earlier warned Malacañang and the Department of Budget and Management against insisting on a special provision to create the MPBF from the savings of the SC and constitutional bodies because it would only worsen an already volatile situation.

Code Yellow ngayon sa Line 1

^^ Which means increased intervals, diba?

Hindi lang Code Yellow, suspended na ang operations, pati Line 2. MRT na lang ang nago-operate.

As of 8:30 AM, LRTA Line 1 and 2 operation are now suspended.

Line 1 is suffering from power problem while Line 2 is suffering from wind problems that affect its train pantographs in Santolan area.

Only MRT-3 are still in operation

LRT, MRT to resume operations Wednesday—spokesman
By Karen Boncocan
INQUIRER.net
7:45 pm | Tuesday, September 27th, 2011

MANILA, Philippines – Operations of the Light Rail Transit 1 and 2 and the Metro Rail Transit 3 will resume Wednesday morning, a spokesman for the MRT 3 and Light Rail Transit Authority said.
There was no chance of resuming operations of the three train systems Tuesday evening as there was no “sufficient power supply for the entire lengths of LRT 1 and 2, and MRT3,” said lawyer Hernando Cabrera.
And to ensure that the trains were safe, Cabrera said that there was also a “need to conduct proper safety check and test runs before we can operate.”
He said they were expected to resume their regular trips Wednesday once Meralco restores “full and sufficient power to [their] systems tonight.”
Power shortage Tuesday morning due to Typhoon “Pedring” (international codename: Nesat) forced a halt to the LRT 1 and 2, and MRT 3 operations, causing inconvenience to commuters.

Power problem disrupts MRT-3 operation
Updated October 01, 2011 01:36 PM

MANILA, Philippines – Operations of the Metro Rail Transit Line 3 were suspended Saturday morning after a power failure “collapsed” its “automatic signaling system.”

Light Rail Transit Authority spokesperson Hernando Cabrera said they shut down the operation at 10:50 am “for safety reasons.”

In an interview, Cabrera explained the important of the signaling system in ensuring the safe operation of the trains.

“The signaling system manages the speed and the distance between the trains,” Cabrera said.

“It also adjusts the emergency breaks… It serves as a back-up system for the operator (the person operating the train),” he added.

According to Cabrera, a “power tripping” of the rectifiers or transformers in between the Santolan and North Avenue stations caused the disruption.

“It affected the computerized signaling system and collapsed the whole line,” he said.

Cabrera said technicians were already sent to fix the problem. At the moment, interventions were still ongoing, he said.

Nasiraan ba silang baet, ang signal department sa MRT? It is required nga ang signal system power sources should come from four different feeder sources from two 2 substations. It will be almost impossible to have a power failure unless the power plant is down. If one substation power source tripped, the circuit automatic power transfer will kick-in to the next power source available and the red light indication in the breaker box will lite-up red so also the tower train indication board will lite red, indicating which power source location tripped and a buzzer will sound the alarm. The train tower dispatcher will notify signal department of what's going on the tower board. But still the signal system still function on its secondary power source. :ohno: :bash: :bash: :bash:

Operational ang Taft-Shaw since 3:30 ng hapon kanina. And AFAIK, obsolete na ang design ng signaling system ng LRT III.

(Yep, LRT III na ang tawag dyan.)

^^ Kailan pa LRT III ang tawag dun? :)

IDK. Napansin ko lang yan sa isang tarpaulin sa Cubao station eh.

^^ Are they under one management na lang ba?

Nakita ko sa isang website, yung administrator ng LRTA siya na rin ang OIC ng MRT since January 13, 2011. And MRT will soon be operated by LRTA. Malapit na malapit na.

LRT 3 ..bagay lang ..sa features ng mga tren riyan LRT nga ang dapat tawag dyan

Roxas unveils P500B infra plan :banana::cheers:

MANILA, Philippines – Transportation and Communications Secretary Mar Roxas unveiled on Thursday close to P500 billion worth of infrastructure projects that will be carried out through a 5-year plan.

Among the major projects are the Light Rail Transit (LRT) 1 extension plan to Cavite and the LRT 2 extension to Antipolo; the reconfigured North Rail project, international airports in Puerto Princesa, Laguindigan, Misamis Oriental and Bohol; port development in Davao; and the roll-on, roll-off (RORO) projects linking Subic or Batangas ports to China.

According to Roxas, the projects remain the same but the financing mechanism is different.

"The matuwid na daan is the matipid na daan,” he said.

Most projects are being reviewed and renegotiated and lopsided contracts are also being rewritten, like the Northrail Project.

Instead of just a train that will run from Caloocan to Mabalacat in Pampanga, based on the original plan, it has been revised to stretch out from Metro Manila to Clark, so that it is already near the airport.

Roxas said, after President Benigno Aquino III’s trip to China, the Chinese government seemed willing to renegotiate and continue the project.

The government is also suspending contracts on the RORO port project of former President Gloria Macapagal Arroyo.

The said contract is also being renegotiated and the government is also bent on paying only what is proper.

The Department of Transportation and Communications (DOTC) also intends to resolve problems concerning the Metro Rail Transit (MRT) and LRT. They will provide financing in order to rehabilitate and buy new trains and spare parts, track works, as well as improve maintenance.

The Sandigan ng Samahang Magsasaka, meanwhile, went “planking” in front of the DOTC office this morning, to protest the government's public–private partnership (PPP) program. The group claimed that Roxas and the Aranetas will benefit from DOTC projects such as the MRT7.

They said the Aranetas own the land where the 14th station of MRT7 will be built.

Around 400 peasant families will be evicted due to the project.

The farmers said this is a clear conflict of interest. But Roxas clarified that his family doesn't own the land in Bulacan.

idada-an siguro ito sa cainta, tatay then antipolo

the plan is to simply extend LRT2 on Marcos Highway upto Masinag at the junction of Marcos and Sumulong... unless they're extending in more...

Nagtatrabaho na ako wala pa ring SEP. :nuts:
