Unhealthy Riding - The streets of Metro Manila



You saw that smoke coming from that bus and the rider beneath right?

That is taken from one of the roads here in Metro Manila. Lets not critize the back ride who's not wearing a helmet, this time, Lets focus on smoke belchers.

Everyday, there are thousand of vehicles are using our main roads like EDSA, different types of vehicles including private ones.

Its not just accident that riders are prone to, also, inhaling these kind of smoke from these vehicles.

I really don't know how these kind of vehicles passed the emmision test of LTO. well, if im going to play a "fortune teller" i probably know how they passed. LOLZ.

Corruption is common to us, most probably in Land Transportation Office, were we know that "corruption" is a part of their lives.

i always take EDSA for i have a lot of friends in Mandaluyong, everytime i pass EDSA, most probably the ayala under pass it is like going into a smoke chamber mostly if you are stuck in traffic under that area. Damn... hard to breathe and its very hot.

we can't have the luxury of what cagers have everytime we are stucked in traffic, so what we do is to filter into traffic. but what if we can't filter out, and we are stucked under ayala under pass. Well, its like killing yourself slowly but inhaling these kind of pollution.

And even if we curse these smoke belchers, let's face it, we can't do anything about them.

But the Government can..

If they will implement stricter rules regarding smoke belching, maybe we can inhale a lil less pollution.


What do you think? But for them to do that, it'll lessen their income everytime these smoke belchers register their vehicles.

Do you want these kind of air to be inhaled by your family?

  1. I am from the USA and never had breathing problems until I lived in the Metro Manila area for 2 years. There I was diagnosed as having asthma and was prescribed an asthma inhaler. Later, when living in the Angeles City area I was diagnosed, by a pulmonologist, as having COPD.
