Flooding in Linao

MOTORIST’S CORNER - Nimrod NL Quiñones -

Another round of fuel prices increases last Friday and the implementation of the fare adjustment yesterday are really making it much more difficult for all of us.

This is a world-wide phenomenon though so we better stop blaming government and come up with our own concrete solutions how we’ll address this.

We probably would like to blame things to certain people in government, but while we keep a close watch on graft and corruption, we must also see to it that we learn to do our share to make life better or maybe in this case to cope with the crisis.

What have you given up to help you and your family survive the fuel crisis?

The downpour last Friday brought moiré than just rain to the people of the south as traffic in the boundary of Talisay City and the town of Minglanilla came to a halt due to the flood at the place we call Eskina San Miguel in barangay Linao, Talisay.

It wasn’t only water rushing down the road, but also mud resulting to “waist-deep” water according to my sources, who did not only get stuck in the traffic jam, but also had to wade through the flood to get home that night.

This is not the first time that there is flooding in this area, which should get the local government officials to find ways to come up with a solution to the problem.

If nothing would be done about this, the highway will soon develop potholes and cracks and lives could be lost.

We received email yesterday from Manoy Lou Coloyan about an activity in Mandaue City inviting the car enthusiasts.

Lou, who is an officer of the Volkswagen Club, forwarded to us a letter sent out by another good friend, Glenn Anthony O. Soco, who is the vice president of the Mandaue Chamber of Commerce and Industry.

The car club meet will be held on August 10 at 2 p.m. at the parking area of the Cebu International Convention Center.

If your car club wants to join, get in touch with Lou Coloyan through [email protected].
