Tutubi went home to Quezon City on Holy Wednesday last week and avoided heavy traffic of EDSA northbound particularly the traffic prone Cubao area. He passed by his usual route going to Makati via Mandaluyong, San Juan then Araneta Avenue.
On Holy Thursday in going home to Paete, Laguna, he again encountered unecessary heavy traffic along Teresa, Rizal near Teresa Church and Teresa Public Market. No particular event, accident or activity, just a less than kilometer long stretch of Manila East Road manned by stupid policemen merely waving their hands commanding drivers to go but didn't bother to remove the obstacles blocking the road. Less than a kilometer and yet took more than 30 minutes to traverse. Traffic Police and local government of Teresa Rizal should be hanged were it not Holy Week.
This blog's visitors for Holy Week was simply overwhelming with people from all over looking for travel information on this blog (that earned a PR5 PageRank from Google, btw, some months ago.Anyway, the pictures will resume to be displayed soon after this blog's bandwidth allocation get reset or Tutubi will edit the header to be less heavy and for the blog to load much faster.
Happy Easter, everyone!
grabe ang hits! =)
ReplyDeleteWe went to Pililia last Easter and passed through Teresa. Those road blocks really slowed down the traffic! Thankfully, the traffic wasn't as terrible as we were expecting.
