For the past week, We, in our corner of the world, have had a major problem with transportation. A little portion of a landbridge, approx 50 meters, was being shored up on the major road we take to Tagaytay. The construction had been going on for about 5 months that had us taking turns on one lane of traffic. There had been signs up everywhere to ban truck traffic through that road from the beginning but we would see, and hear the traffic go through from banned trucks at night. Complaints to enforce the ban made by multiple people went nowhere to Barangay officials, PNPA, the Mayors office--"it is not my job" was the usual reply. Well, the last typhoon washed away the construction and the road overnight. So, now, the usual 20 minute trek to the grocery store is taking us 1.5 hours as we have to detour through small country roads,and climb up the Tagaytay mountain ridge. And they say it may take a year to repair the road!!!! Uuuughhh!!!!
