Good day sir. Sana nga mabigyan na ng pansin ni Sec. Dizon ang problema sa mga trucks. Sila ang sumisira sa mga kalsadang hilaw ang timpla. Dito po sa Bulacan, grabe kalalaki ang mga dump trucks na nag-qua-quarry at mga naghahakot ng semento, halos lahat na yata ng feeder roads giba pag dinaanan ng mga overloaded at oversized trucks, pati yung Balagtas-San Rafael Bypass road.

Wala talagang standard ang mga kalsada ng bansa natin, nakakaawa tayo. Talamak na talaga ang corruption sa DPWH. Sa laki ng SOP, kaya lahat hilaw ang gawa, yun at yun din ang kanilang ginagawa taun-taon. Kawawa yung niece ko last week, Wednesday, 6 pm from Makati, nakauwi sa Guiginto (Bulacan) ng 12 mn! Hoping na may mangyari sa isinulat nyo pong article. Have a good day po. (R. Miranda)

"On another subject and if you agree, can you help push for the rehabilitation of the entire MacArthur Highway from Caloocan to Bulacan, to Pampanga, to Tarlac, to Pangasinan and beyond? With what recently happened in NLEX and the traffic it has caused, there is a need for a good alternative and toll-free. The government collects a lot in road tax."

Response: When Manny Bonoan was appointed as secretary of the DPWH, he promised to put a limit, if not put a stop, to the "Basag Kalye" gang all over the Philippines that habitually break good roads in order to repave them.
