ANARCHY REIGNS in the Sta. Ana section of the Gapan-San Fernando-Olongapo Road, aka JASA.
One ramp of the highway is a tricycle terminal; the other side, an open marketplace for ambulant vendors. Passengers and market goers compete with motorists for the road.
Negotiating that one-kilometer stretch takes no less than 30 minutes, complete with rise in blood pressure with tricycles exercising their kingship of the road: read, counterflowing traffic at will.
When someone raised the issue to Mayor Romulo Concepcion, he was heard to have replied: “Andyang magulo ing trapik, basta e la dadanup ding tau Sta. Ana (Disorderly traffic does not matter so long as the people of Sta. Ana don’t go hungry).”
Traffic feeding a hungry constituency? A new high in stupidity.
