The Talamban-Pit-os road project

July 03, 2025

A few months ago, I decided to write again in this column my unwholesome traffic experience each time I visit my small garden in the mountain barangay of Paril.

- Aven Piramide

The flow of traffic in the Talamban to Pit-os stretch is excruciatingly slow that even the supposed patience of a septuagenarian like me is unforgivably taxed. More so in coming home in the afternoon somewhere at four to five o'clock when the traffic snarl is terrible. More often than not, it is moving at snail pace. To think that I do not drive anymore! How much worse are the expletives uttered by those men and women behind the steering wheel? Oh, that is unimaginable. Why so?
