                    [Summary] => I’ve always been a big fan of non-conformity. Standing neither here nor there has often made me stick out like a sore thumb — still, it’s always been my thing. In the Philippines, people like me are lambasted for straying a distance away from the norm. We never really fit perfectly into any situation, group or clique. Which is fine — if what you stand for is a firm belief in individuality. And if you ask me, there is nothing more important in this world than being true to one’s self, no matter what the rest of the world may say.

If the program would be implemented as planned and designed, it would decongest the Metro’s main thoroughfare of buses, many of which spew deadly levels of emission, waste a lot of precious fuel that is currently soaring in prices and perennially unsafely encroaching into private vehicles lanes, while only having a little over of a third of its capacity.
