Not so ordinary Sunday
Hubby and I were aboard our ever reliable motorcycle traversing the MacArthur highway today. My attention was caught by six MMDA workers pounding a part of the sidewalk near the footbridge located beside the Cosmos plant in Malabon-Valenzuela boundary. Under the scorching heat of the sun, the men are working hard in clearing the streets that a lot of commuters pass by daily. Considering it was a sunday, I could not help but comment about what they were doing. I even told my hubby that it was such a pleasure seeing some government workers fulfilling their duties even on sundays. To which hubby commented, "Ibig sabihin nyan nagtatrabaho din si Bayani (Fernando) kahit sunday." I asked back, "Paano mo naman nasabi yun?". Eh kasi daw he has to monitor the works of this men even remotely (via cellfone). What shocked me more is seeing more of these MMDA men as we traverse Rizal Avenue in Caloocan City. Hay sana, ganito ang devotion ng lahat ng government employees sa bayan natin. I know, they are paid for overtime work but hey, let us give credit to where credit is due. Hindi mo naman pwede pilitin ang mga tao kung ayaw nilang pumasok especially if it will be just overtime work. Also, this simply means one thing, that our government is exerting effort in doing their part in making our country a better place to live in. So , I believe we have to do our part as well.
Or should I say Bayani Fernando is doing a job well done chairing the MMDA?

Nakatutuwa talagang makakita ng mga taong ganyan - handang isakripisyo ang "Family Day" para sa trabaho. Hindi biro ang maging isang MMDA. Saludo ako sa kanila.
Totoo, worth nga i-acknowledge mga workers ng MMDA :)
have a fine week to you!
small workers should always be acknowledged for what they're doing, aside from working on sundays, sila rin usually ang sumasalo ng flacks kapag me ginawang di maganda yung mga nandun sa itaas.
oh, you should see bacoor, cavite, nandun na rin ang MMDA, nagdedemolize ng mga bahay na tatamaan ng road widening, friends yata sina bayani at strike revilla (bro ni bong).
uy, what's your email addy pala? :D
*demolish, not demolize hehe.
Yes, I do agree with you re Bayani and his MMDA team, talagang hard working sila...just one thing though that I wish Bayani would do, and that is to not only drive around in his car to check traffic flow BUT also try commuting like the rest of the masa and see things from a commuters' perspective--which is quite different from that of the motorists..aba, muntik na maging blogpost to ah! hehe. sorry about that, been thinking of posting about this issue for a long long time...pero di lang maka-"word" ng mabuti.. hehe...
Okay... I will stand up and be counted as one of those devilish counter advocates... I will say that he is working his ass off... Bayani has some kind of vision of what he is doing but I do wish that HE COULD JUST FOR ONE SECOND THINK OF PUTTING SOME KIND OF SERIOUS WARNING ON THE NEW CONCRETE BARRIERS THAT HE HAS DEPLOYED NEAR CAMP AGUINALDO... I was driving over there and I nearly got my whole family killed when our vehicle nearly toppled over when it smashed into the barrier. It was a dark night and at the same time it was viciously raining... that spells trouble... I failed to calculate very carefully passing thru... it was like I was going into the eye of a needle.. a real Bitch of an Idea to put up those barriers and mini banketas in the middle of EDSA like that. He should be charged the cost of my repair work...130 thousand pesos.. its the cost of a second hand car... I just have to find some other way to Get back at this guy for the pursuance of justice. He isn't MMDA chairman for nothing. He should have known better.
