Jeepney Phaseout

 

 

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!
