Listening to Jing Magsaysay’s piece without watching the video (like listening to a radio), he sounded like he was reporting about the present, 2024, rather than back in 1989. 😮
And getting worse. Because we keep repeating same mistakes and holding on outdated broken concept of public transport. We had better public transport before WW2 with trams, but after the war we never rebuilt it and instead we cling to 'Jeepneys' are our main backbone, because it's "Filipino ingenuity" reasons and "for masa". And we kept this for decades even today. It's been proven that it doesn't work at scale and the boundery system (if there is even called a system) is broken from the start. There is a reason why successful cities and countries that are know for best public transport don't use the same system we do. We treat public transport just like the USA do, but with far less money and less discipline and less systematic. Public transports are 2nd class for people who can't afford a car and instead we should build roads and people with money to buy cars even though it's not sustainable on the long term. Traffic got worse since Philippines economy did get better and more middle class that have money enough to afford a car, which contributes to the problem. We invested more on roads than good public transport. And we cling with Jeepneys.
Latter parts also explain it all. Private vehicles, tas ambagal pa matapos mg mga railway systems which could actually atleast alleviate the damn problem
Despite numerous changes in transportation in the Philippines especially with modern buses and jeeps plying in metro roads plus new highways, traffic still exist in the metropolis.
Highways won't solution to traffic. They will encourage to buy more cars than commute. The only way to solve it is More Trains, Develop Other Areas, And Make Cars More Expensive
There have been attempts to 'decentralize' the metropolis in order to ease traffic. However, these efforts have fallen on deaf ears with our policymakers. Why? Because they are entangled in their own business interests, which may be directly impacted by this move. Pinagkakakitaan ang krisis kaya ayan, mas lalo pang lumalala ang problema sa trapiko.
"... and this traditional mentality is what got us into trouble in the first place." VERY TRUE, even more so in this day and age. Says a lot about the mindset of the people.
I remember when they tried to make “Metrorail” a thing, even had a TV commercial with a Metrorail song. No one called it that, it’s always been preferred to call it LRT. Then they renamed the PNR into Metrotrak and then to Metrotren, lol lol
Metro branding such as METROBUS SDX type non aircon buses,china made commuter buses,metro mega bus .in early 90s MMTC and metroshuttle aquired medium built nissan LRT look a like fascia aircon buses.meron pang pasig river Metroferries.
The problem is lack of urbanization management & planning. Metro Manila is overpopulated compared to other provinces. More establishment must be built in provinces so people can live or concentrated outside NCR. I remember one of Failon Ngayon episodes featured Pres. Duterte’s project “Build, build, build” talked about how overpopulated the capital city is. This is one of main reasons why I left my home country.
Problema rin na nagsisiksikan mga businesses sa iisang lugar. Dati puros Makati ngayon naman BGC. Kung magcoconsolidate naman sa probinsya, binababaan nila sweldo as if yung price ng commodities and utlities dun considerably different kaya ayun, mga kakilala ko taga-Iloilo ayaw pa rin bumalik sa probinsya nila kahit may branch doon.
@@undustfixation Kaya talagang kailangan ng Pederalismo sa bansa natin. Hell, if we could divide the Philippines into federal client republics of Luzon, Visayas and Mindanao, with each governed by a Vice President, that will be cool.
Speaking of overpopulation, as a predominantly Catholic Country, it seems the Filipinos felt obligated by the bible verse, "Be Fruitful and Multiply" (Genesis 1:28) thus, it makes the Philippines plagued by the Malthusian Theory which states that if a country's population is larger, the more it will be prone to corruption and poverty.
@@undustfixation Dude, Alabang/Filinvest lands are still vacant despite new mid-highrises and business here. There are still a lot of land not taken yet. I'm not sure why, Is it more expensive in Alabang/ Filinvest lands?
It's almost all in Southeast Asia cities have a transportation problem aside Manila like Jakarta, Bangkok, Kuala Lumpur and Ho Chi Minh City 😊😊 But the least traffic problem in Southeast Asia was Bandar Seri Begawan in Brunei Darussalam 😊😊 In Indonesia, traffic problem can be seen not only in Jakarta but in some cities like Bandung, Medan, Yogyakarta, Semarang, Surabaya, Palembang, Pekanbaru and many others 😊😊
Matagal na natin alam na ang sagot sa traffic ay magexpand ng train system. Pero puro road widening lang at skyway ang ginagawa natin. Mabilis matapos mga skyway pero kapag train napakabagal gawin.
Puro expressway..samantalang andyan parim main south line at buhaying muli ang mainline north na tren.dapat talaga mamuno sa DOTR isang may vision at urban planner fanatic.hindi dating kanang kamay ng mga ganid na kapitalista
I was a student back then in the early 90's, commuting was already a challenge. I ask a senior citizen about commuting and his youth days were in the late 60's...his problem was also my problem. I am now living in the province commuting is just a breeze. I see the same problem of commuting for the general public in Metro Manila at present time...
I went to culinary school in Makati back in 2010, commuting from Las Pinas. It was pretty fun at first, but 4hr lab classes could get tiring. Had to get up at 4am to make it in time for 7am classes, but I was used to that and at least finding a seat was a given. Then we started OJT and other live trainings, which basically meant standing on a bum knee for 10 hours. Then we also needed to have FOH OJT for some stupid reason, in BGC, which basically meant standing around waiting tables for even more hours. Often, I'd clock out at around 10pm to get home at 1am because the busses would still wait to be filled--but that's the best case scenario. If my shift ended at, say, 5pm; either I wait to risk trying to get a seat on a new bus and get home at 10, or fight to get onto one that's about to leave and stand in traffic until I get home at 9. I was often late; when I reasoned it was because of traffic, I was told to just wake up earlier. What kind of culture is that? I pay tuition, work -as a slave- for free, and lose my health and sanity in the process? No. No no no no. Snuffed any interest I had in the service industry. We had an American immigrant instructor who was floored when I told him my commute was 2-3hrs.
Wow! Sir Jing magsasay was one of the most well known abs cbn news reporter back then. I remember he also covered the Mt. pinatubo eruption . I really miss the 90’s 😢
Local made pa mga bus noon. Saka kung may Japayuki, local market pa, unlike nung early to mid '90s mga used from real and big time bus companies sa Japan. Yung mga jeep sa clip na ito mukhang buhay pa ang iba pero iba na itsura. Bida yung mga Amante, Lawin, Sarao, Gonzales at Melford na jeep sa video. For sure earlier versions ng LGS jeeps, andyan rin, since resembling mga Lawin or Amante sila noon, from the mere fact assembled ang LGS sa Pillilia,Rizal, habang Lawin and Amante ay obvious sa San Pablo,Laguna, yet mas madali na masabi from the '90s kung LGS man ang jeep. Dati akalain mo Amante since like I said magkahawig noon ang LGS at Amante, pati Lawin jeeps. Amazing talaga ang mga jeep lalo na kung gawa ng LGS or yung mga gawa sa San Pablo, pero wala pa ring tatalo sa Sarao, even if biased ako sa LGS jeeps.
I just found it sad that most older generations of 1989 still didn't understand that what our problem here is induced demand, not narrow roads. Yet people still vote politicians who only does road widening and not building MRT and LRT. It is mentioned here that The Mass rail transit is the proof and solution how we are going to solve traffic.
Dahil sa dami ng sasakyan parang magiging next Bangkok na tayo kahit dumami pa ang train lines sa dami pa naman ng tao. Our hope is to stop buying cars or rely on free cars and focus on making train lines that's it!
Pretty sure it was just a textbook supply store that named itself after the dictionary and has no relation. I remember my elementary textbooks coming from them (Rex Bookstore being the other).
Naalala ko sa world tonight yung bawat ending binabanggit ni Angelo Castro Jr. yung eksaktong date ng broadcast tapos sabay i-i-introduce bawat pangalan nila tapos maggi-greet ng good evening si Angelo Castro Jr.
The most shocking thing about the video is how the whole show was in excellent English. Bakit wala nang ganito ngayon? Kung English proficiency lang ang advantage natin sa ibang mga bansa, in just 1-2 generations lang wala na tayong advantage.
Ganito ang pagbabalita na alam ko. Hindi hina-hype at straight english ang delivery. Yung mga nanonood may matututunan sa proper grammar and pronunciation.
ang galing ng enunciation at diction nila, sobrang fluent ng english, and take note wala pang bpo nung time na yan ha kung saan mahahasa ka talaga sa english, o di kaya masyadong mahal pa mag travel sa mga english speaking countries nung time na yan
2:03 "We have relied too much on traditional road vehicles to transport our working masses, and this traditional mentality is what got us into trouble in the first place." I guess it stays the same 35 years ago as it is now.
Though salamat kahit paano may Carousel Edsa Bus at may mga train na pinapagawa kaso kulang pa at ang tagal pa magawa or total completion ng mga trains... 🙏 sana maayos na...
Damn, this sucks, knowing na hindi pa ako buhay eto na yung problema sa Metro Manila, and now that I’m also part of the workforce that had to do face this everyday, yun parin problema. Also, did you hear what he’s saying, 35 years ago, the news and the people already know the facts we know today, had an idea on what solution we need, but look at us now… Hindi naman sa isinasantabi yung improvements, pero it’s been 35 years, iilan palang ang improvements na nangyari.
1989 pa pala problema ang traffic at pag cocommute pero hangang ngayon problema padin. Ang dami ng nadagdag na highway mapa underpass at overpass. Ibig sbhin lang non dati palang eh hindi na long term mag isip gobyerno natin. Yung mga nabuong daanan nila eh hindi rin naging enough sa bilis ng paglaki ng population ng pinas.
35 years nang problema ng bansa, problema pa din ng kasalukuyan, Para sa akin hindi ang mga namumuno ang problema, kundi tayong mga botante. Kaya gising mga pinoy.
noon pa lang alam na nila na private vehicle ang sanhi ng heavy traffic. dapat talaga i prioritized ang mga mass transport vehicle at commercial vehicle sa kalsada. Di na nakakaikot ng mabilis sa ruta ang mga jeep at bus dahil sa sobrang dami ng sasakyan. Yung iba kasi papasok lang sa trabaho gusto naka kotse pa, papasok lang sa eskwela gusto naka kotse pa, mamamalengke lang sa malapit gusto naka kotse pa, mamamasyal lang sa mall gusto naka kotse pa
Hindi naman kasi maayos infrastructure planning sa atin, pati na rin yung mass transport system. For example, pwede nga lakarin yung grocery pero sa paper bag naman nila ilalagay yung mga basang hotdog, mabibigat na bote ng mayonaise at coke at lahat hindi kasya sa tote - realistically, kailangan mo ng sasakyan para iuwi lahat yan. Or parang ako pag papasok sa Makati - aabot nga ng Ayala ang MRT ko pero yung terminal sa ilalim ng jeep box office sa umaga tapos 2 kilometro pa yung babaan sa building ko. Kung maayos lahat yan, walang mahirap na magpupumilit bumili ng hulugan na kotse. Magcocommute sila just like in any other developed country.
Drastic change requires drastic measures. Kahit subway pa matapos if 15 years to complete naman, it makes no difference. Magreretire majority ng comment readers dito traffic pa din sa Metro Manila. But some people actually had a good life up to retirement with their daily commute taking them only 5 minutes one way.
The following administration of Fidel V. Ramos (RIP), he initiated a reform in transportation system, which includes reviving the North Haul line of PNR (Which is now reincarnated as the NSCR Today) and the South Hall line. However, the Asian Financial Crisis happened, thus our transportation system screwed up until some of them were revived by the Arroyo, Noynoy, and Duterte administrations.
Yup, parang andun nga din yung Nepa Q Mart/Cubao section sa bandang huli. Mahirap na ma-recognize ngayon EDSA at mga ibang roads sa video dahil sa MRT at high rise bldgs.
Dapat gawin decentralize ang Metro Manila tapos damihan ang mga tren dapat pabilisin ang Metro Manila Subway NSCR pati yang MRT-7 lahat ng nakapending na mass transit
Time will tell if these rail projects are going to be the solution. Feel ko it's the same problems we have with the MRT in that, while it helps commuters get to a certain point, they still have to be reliant on another form of road transport to get to their respective destinations. Would be nice if in every stop there's a transport hub with a bus carousel.
I know this has been going on for a while now but it doesn't help that they appointed an SMC tollways CEO as the DPWH secretary. Mas lalo lang tuloy dumami mga road widening projects. Ang weird din na yung background ng transport secretary is in the aviation industry... but then again I'm not an expert, lol.
I never knew that there is an english telecast way back then (likely kasi wala pa atang ANC) during those times.. and if it's 1989, I'm still very young back then.. For the problem itself, if gumawa lang talaga ang government ng ways para mag expand ng business or ibalance sa ibat ibang region, sana doon din nag focus ang tao para mag hanap ng work. Sobrang urban sprawl or congestion ang nangyari sa NCR, while not being able to widen the roads
English talaga yung The World Tonight and kahit ABS-CBN for the most part. Nung nag-shift sila sa tagalog programming in the late 90s, nilipat nila sa ANC yung TWT. As for expansion sa provinces, ginagawa na ng ibang businesses yan. Kaso walang pumapatos kasi mababa sweldo pag sa probinsya which is stupid kasi parehas lang din naman presyo mga bilihin at utilities.
@@undustfixationang nagpataob lang naman sa mga English newscasts sa late night is ang GMA Network News when Mike and Vicky began reporting in "Taglish" hanggang sa naging full Filipino na siya. So other networks had to respond. TWT stayed for a bit longer pero eventually hanggang ANC na lang siya.
Riding the MRT/LRT is prolly the worst transit experience in the world, you shouldn't need to go through a 15 minute security check line before you get to the fare gate. The transfer at Taft Ave is miserable. At least there's aircon on board now, not like when I was a kid.
Just to add to that: E-jeepneys are overrated, and the reason why I quit my office day job and went the WFH route. People tout it as some kind of revolutionary game changer when it's a claustrophobic, unbearably hot, and unbreathable hell hole. That's why I'm more of a fan of keeping the existing jeeps but regulating their maintenance. Kung naranasan niyo na sumakay ng jeep na nakababa pa rin mga plastic tarps kahit tumila na ulan, that's how an e-jeep is but 10x worse kasi sarado pati estribo at yung AC walang circulation kasi puno yung aisles at naka-uno lang.
30 years later, it is safe to say that the situation is still the same, and it's even worse, with doubling the Metro Manila population from 1989, and with the same shitty transportation system.

Hindi naman kasi maayos infrastructure planning sa atin, pati na rin yung mass transport system. For example, pwede nga lakarin yung grocery pero sa paper bag naman nila ilalagay yung mga basang hotdog, mabibigat na bote ng mayonaise at coke at lahat hindi kasya sa tote - realistically, kailangan mo ng sasakyan para iuwi lahat yan. Or parang ako pag papasok sa Makati - aabot nga ng Ayala ang MRT ko pero yung terminal sa ilalim ng jeep box office sa umaga tapos 2 kilometro pa yung babaan sa building ko. Kung maayos lahat yan, walang mahirap na magpupumilit bumili ng hulugan na kotse. Magcocommute sila just like in any other developed country.
Well naka depende kasi yan sa tao hindi naman magkakaparehas
Here we are in 2024 and nothing has changed in the last 40 years.
Same same problem since 1989 up to now
Drastic change requires drastic measures. Kahit subway pa matapos if 15 years to complete naman, it makes no difference. Magreretire majority ng comment readers dito traffic pa din sa Metro Manila. But some people actually had a good life up to retirement with their daily commute taking them only 5 minutes one way.
sayang sana ibalik nila ung english news
1989: One and a half hours of travel from Caloocan to Makati is a big problem.
2024: Caloocan to Makati takes 3 hours.
It's actually 1-1.5 hours to get a ride, not the travel time. That's pretty bad, lol.
Grabe ang lala ng Pilipinas, hanggang ngayon yan pa din problema ng bansa natin 🥲
Dati, 2x nag papalabas ng balita ang mga channel. Isang tagalog then sa late night, english version naman.
The following administration of Fidel V. Ramos (RIP), he initiated a reform in transportation system, which includes reviving the North Haul line of PNR (Which is now reincarnated as the NSCR Today) and the South Hall line. However, the Asian Financial Crisis happened, thus our transportation system screwed up until some of them were revived by the Arroyo, Noynoy, and Duterte administrations.
Ginamit nila yung Pulsar background music from TV Patrol
It is high time now to revamp the provincial rate law!
0:05 NOW ANGELO CASTRO JR IS SPEAKING ENGLISH!!!
Ngayon na Lang gumagawa ng aksyon ang gobyerno Ngayon Nila naiintindihan ang kahalagahan ng tren
Grabe 50 centavos pa lang yata ang minimum fare dyan 😮
Im think yung part 3:34 sa may Ortigas Intersection yan
Yup, parang andun nga din yung Nepa Q Mart/Cubao section sa bandang huli. Mahirap na ma-recognize ngayon EDSA at mga ibang roads sa video dahil sa MRT at high rise bldgs.
Tropical Hut yung kanto kasi Sir 2 yrs from that 1991 tinayo ang Ortigas Flyover
My God, Manila has barely changed at all.
Dito palang sana may Mass Transport, solve na sana ngayon. At least. 😌
Dapat gawin decentralize ang Metro Manila tapos damihan ang mga tren dapat pabilisin ang Metro Manila Subway NSCR pati yang MRT-7 lahat ng nakapending na mass transit
keyword here is "foresight" which our leaders dont have, They should build more Train lines and they should started it in the 90s
Time will tell if these rail projects are going to be the solution. Feel ko it's the same problems we have with the MRT in that, while it helps commuters get to a certain point, they still have to be reliant on another form of road transport to get to their respective destinations. Would be nice if in every stop there's a transport hub with a bus carousel.
Imagine 1989 may lrt na pala
Di pa ko pinapanganak problema na pala ng Pinas to. Ano na nangyari after 3 decades walang pinagbago.
Car Centric Policies doomed us
I know this has been going on for a while now but it doesn't help that they appointed an SMC tollways CEO as the DPWH secretary. Mas lalo lang tuloy dumami mga road widening projects. Ang weird din na yung background ng transport secretary is in the aviation industry... but then again I'm not an expert, lol.
Kaya thankful talaga ako kay bbm kasi pinagpatuloy niya ang LRT extension. Driving around the NCR is hard enough but catching a ride is even harder.
Mas mahirap pa Ang transportation dati Kasi Wala pa mga mrt,lrt2 at carousel.
35 years after wala pa ring pinagbago sa lagay ng lansangan natin. Mga gusali lang ang nagbago.
80s, gaganda pa ng mga katawan at conservative pa manamit. Di gaya ngayon kabata pa eh butod at bilbil nakikita na.
Yung iba sabi gusto nilang bumalik sa nakaraan o hayan balik na kayo po😊.
I never knew that there is an english telecast way back then (likely kasi wala pa atang ANC) during those times.. and if it's 1989, I'm still very young back then..
For the problem itself, if gumawa lang talaga ang government ng ways para mag expand ng business or ibalance sa ibat ibang region, sana doon din nag focus ang tao para mag hanap ng work.
Sobrang urban sprawl or congestion ang nangyari sa NCR, while not being able to widen the roads
English talaga yung The World Tonight and kahit ABS-CBN for the most part. Nung nag-shift sila sa tagalog programming in the late 90s, nilipat nila sa ANC yung TWT.
As for expansion sa provinces, ginagawa na ng ibang businesses yan. Kaso walang pumapatos kasi mababa sweldo pag sa probinsya which is stupid kasi parehas lang din naman presyo mga bilihin at utilities.
@@undustfixationang nagpataob lang naman sa mga English newscasts sa late night is ang GMA Network News when Mike and Vicky began reporting in "Taglish" hanggang sa naging full Filipino na siya. So other networks had to respond. TWT stayed for a bit longer pero eventually hanggang ANC na lang siya.
is jing magsaysay related to former president ramon magsaysay?
Riding the MRT/LRT is prolly the worst transit experience in the world, you shouldn't need to go through a 15 minute security check line before you get to the fare gate. The transfer at Taft Ave is miserable. At least there's aircon on board now, not like when I was a kid.
Just to add to that: E-jeepneys are overrated, and the reason why I quit my office day job and went the WFH route. People tout it as some kind of revolutionary game changer when it's a claustrophobic, unbearably hot, and unbreathable hell hole. That's why I'm more of a fan of keeping the existing jeeps but regulating their maintenance. Kung naranasan niyo na sumakay ng jeep na nakababa pa rin mga plastic tarps kahit tumila na ulan, that's how an e-jeep is but 10x worse kasi sarado pati estribo at yung AC walang circulation kasi puno yung aisles at naka-uno lang.
Di pa ako tao nun ganyan na pala kalala ang public transpo jusko 2024 na ganyan pa rin
1:40 bro, why do you mop the floor like that? 😅
Nothing change
it;s still the same!
This was 1989...
Still the same in 2024...
The same reason, public transportation is literally at the back seat of this government!
3:33 where's this location?
Commonwealth, I think.
EDSA Ortigas
Problem of the past is the problem of the new era, LALALA pa yan pagdating ng PANAHON!
30 years later, it is safe to say that the situation is still the same, and it's even worse, with doubling the Metro Manila population from 1989, and with the same shitty transportation system.
