This is a classic example on how DOTC Secretary Manuel Roxas handles conflicting problems with regard to the issues on Citra-San Miguel and Metro Pacific road builders fighting over a connector road project linking the South and North Luzon Expressways.
As I have read from the local broadsheets, Secretary Roxas wants both contractors be given the rights to build two connector non-stop routes which are badly needed to finally decongest EDSA, the main arterial road of the metropolis, where a greater number of vehicular accidents occurred in the past two decades and daily gridlocks especially during rush hours. With having both lanes open, vehicles coming and going from the North to the South and vice versa, will bypass EDSA and surely will ease traffic situation on the entire length of EDSA. Improving traffic in this area, there will be less consumption in fuel, appointment to offices will be on time and deliveries of goods and services will promote more trade.
I firmly believe in the way Secretary Roxas is running his office and I can say now that he ultimately deserves to be one of the leading presidential candidates in 2016.
Lastly, I entirely forgot that these projects of the government have a zero spending since both Citra-San Miguel and Metro Pacific will fully finance the connecting expressways under BOT.
