                    [Summary] => The Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH) is set to expand its investigation on the vehicle repair anomaly to cover disbursements made before 2001, when the practice was most prevalent.


"In the coming weeks, DPWH Secretary Simeon Datumanong will issue an order for the probe to cover the period between 1982 to 2001, particularly ’98, ’99 and 2000 when the scam was at its worst," a department source said.


The source said an expanded probe could reveal over P600 million in illegal disbursements.

                    [Summary] => Upang unti-unting maibsan ang lumalalang trapik sa mga pangunahing lansangan sa Metro Manila, plano ni Metro Manila Development Authority (MMDA) Chairman Bayani Fernando na magtalaga ng mga ‘special parking forces’ na ang pagtutuunan lamang ay tamang pagpaparada.


Bukod sa mga kasalukuyan nang traffic enforcer, balak ni Fernando na bumuo ng special parking forces na gagabay sa mga motorista at huhuli din naman sa mga lumalabag.

Ang akala ba nila kay Fernando ay Superman na magagampanan nito ang mga bagay na hindi nabibigyan ng solusyon mula pa noong panahon ng mga lolo natin?
