I remember having to pay FULL FARE for sitting HALF my ass --only to
arrive at work late because the accursed
half-assed-poor-excuse-for-a-vehicle had to stop at every turn and gas
up with a measly 100 pesos at the very last minute. We Pinoys automatically
reject the idea of improvements because we were taught that these death
traps are a vital part of our culture and identity --something to be
valued and preserved. We are stuck in this quagmire because we do not
want to be inconvenienced with subway and/or bus terminal construction and
stops. Yet, we demand for improvements/solutions but no one is willing to
sacrifice --it doesn't GET ANY MORE PINOY THAN THAT. Tagalugin ko, ha? Anti-poor daw ang modernization, PAHIRAP sa MAHIRAP. Hindi ba
pagpapahirap sa mahirap ang ginawagawa ng mga 'Bayani nating Jeepney Drivers'? Magbabayad ka nang tama pero kalahati lang ng ibinayad mo ang
nakukuha mong serbisyo? Yung ipagsisiksikan kayo hanggang lahat kayo ay
hirap nang huminga? Oo, mahirap ang buhay pero hindi ito
nangngangahulugan na dapat mo rin pahirapan ang kapwa PINOY mo. PUTANG INA E!
