“President
for life” – that is how senator Panfilo “Ping” Lacson describes President
Rodrigo Roa Duterte last year when the issue on traffic was a big topic in
media.
Now
that we are in an enhanced community quarantine up until the end of the month,
let’s go back to this sound bite by Lacson.
Lacson
said Duterte deserves to be the country’s “president for life” if he solves the
traffic along EDSA and the flight delays at the Ninoy Aquino International
Airport (NAIA).

“If
PRRD delivers on just two promises he recently made: (1) to cut travel time
from Cubao to Makati to 5 minutes within 6 months and; (2) to eliminate flight
delays in NAIA within one month, for being superhuman, he deserves to be
president for life,” Lacson said on Twitter.
The
President then said the travel from Cubao to Makati can be reduced to just 5
minutes, though the President did not elaborate how.
As
per the Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH) said major
infrastructure projects are underway, which would help decongest Metro Manila
traffic. Among these are the Metro Manila Skyway Stage (MMSS3) and the
NLEX-SLEX Connector Road Project.
The
MMSS3 is a 17.38-kilometer elevated expressway from Gil Puyat Avenue in Makati
City to North Luzon Expressway (NLEX) in Balintawak, Quezon City.
The
MMSS3 viaduct will connect the South Luzon Expressway (SLEX) and the (NLEX),
and intends to decongest main thoroughfares in the central Metro Manila area,
particularly EDSA, by as many as 50,000 cars.
