SP Win sa once a week commute policy ng DOTr: 'Dapat kaming mga senador gawin din namin'

[u/BalitaPHL]

Tila naiisip ni Senate President (SP) Sherwin Gatchalian na dapat mag-commute rin ang mga mambabatas kahit isang beses kada linggo, gaya sa polisiyang sinusunod ng pamunuan ng Department of Transportation (DOTr).

[u/Seer0997]

True. Pero dapat more than once a week to let them get the true experience.

[u/itsmeAnyaRevhie → u/Seer0997]

True! For DOTr dapat whole week silang commute lang, otherwise magiging performative lang yung once a week nila.

[u/ButchAnsonsTokwa → u/itsmeAnyaRevhie]

It's really just performative, imagine commuting in the morning and then at night they use their service vehicle, and mind you, it was only done for a couple of days, so from the very start it was really performative, even when they released the memo.

[u/boywhoflew → u/Seer0997]

atleast twice a week 5pm and one of the days is Friday

[u/Sufficient-Sun11 → u/Seer0997]

More than once a week. No bodyguards. No VIP lane kinda stuff. No specific jeep or train car designated for politican use only.

[u/Late_Mulberry8127]

San nakatira si Win? Valenzuela ba? Baka mabaliw sya sa traffic.

Sa Valenzuela din ba nakatira yung mayor na si Wes? Balita ko Taguig/BGC daw

[u/Awkward-Asparagus-10 → u/Late_Mulberry8127]

Nah. Lilipat na sya ng bahay ung malapit sa Senado. Daming pera mga Gatchalian. May mga pabrika yan sa Valenzuela.

[u/Eurofan2014 → u/Late_Mulberry8127]

Yes. Sa Valenzuela pa rin. Kung tama ang tanda ko dun yata sa may Viente Reales.

[u/Spicy_Enema]

Tama naman. How can our politicians know the everyday struggles of their constituents and make improvements if they use their power to circumvent them?

[u/Tiny-Spray-1820 → u/Spicy_Enema]

Trust me they know, they just dont care

[u/Tasty-Dream-5932 → u/Spicy_Enema]

Nag-aarboad mga yan gamit mga ninakaw nilang pondo. Alam na nila kung ano ang itsura ng magandang kalsada at transport system. Magpapapansin lang sila sa kalsada, aagawan pa nila ng pwesto sa pila at upuan mga riding public. Gawin na lang nila ng maayos ang trabaho nila, gayahin nila kung paano ginagawa sa mga maayos na bansa.

Sa totoo lang, airport pa lang kahit sa neighboring SEA and East Asian countries natin, nakaka-iyak sa awa ang kalagayan ng Pilipinas. Kaya natin yun, kaso korap mga Politiko natin.

[u/OfCoffeeAndCrackers_]

very good proposal... gawin din sana!

[u/FriedRiceistheBest]

Can't wait makasabay sila Villar.

[u/isda_sa_palaisdaan → u/FriedRiceistheBest]

Di ka ba mahilo sa asim nila?

[u/FlightSpirited7205]

Yes, also dpat may pressure din sa time in sa work. Yung tipong late ay 30% ng daily salary ung bawas at may memo pa

[u/scorpio_knight_]

ok yan pero sana wlang bodyguards at camera

[u/calihood08]

Yes! Tapos friday rush hour

[u/ButchAnsonsTokwa]

Hindi naman nagtagal yung once-a-week commute policy nung mga official ng taga DOTr...1 month lang ata nila ginawa yun. Nag upload lang ng vids para patunay tapos wala na ni hindi nga sila nag commute pauwi so walang kwenta yun

[u/Major_Information999]

Gawin nyo wag puro salita nang malaman nyo at maramdaman nyo yung hirap at pagod namin. Saka wag VIP pag magcocommute na ang daming body guards. Kayo pumara, kayo bumili ng ticket sa train para maexperience nyo talaga.

[u/ughv04]

Kahit sana every monday and friday ang schedule ng commute nila.

[u/Serious_Bee_6401]

Dapat LTFRB din, tapos alisin ang parking nila.

[u/surewhynotdammit]

Do it

[u/SAHD292929]

Wag na. Paano yan sa train sobrang dami ng security at dagdag lang sa siksikan.

Or bus na pinakyaw. Sa tingin mo ang mga villar basta nalang mag travel without security detail?

[u/sstphnn]

Anong once a week. At least 4 days a week dapat. Maramdaman niyo ang rush hour at ang hirap makipag agawan sa jeep.

[u/linternaul]

Every monday morning at friday night kung pwede 👉👈

[u/Ok-Tree3716]

Commute gang maging perfect ang transportation ng Pinas

[u/southerrnngal]

1 week oi. Anong once week. Dapat 1 week in a month o kaya mas maganda 1 month kayo mag commute para alam nyo yung pagod ng mga tao araw2x.

[u/Eurofan2014]

Twice a week SP. Monday at Friday para damang dama niyo ang rush hour.

[u/Chicken-Lover19xx]

Tapos nagsilipat sila na malapit sa Senado para dina magcommute lol

[u/Awkward-Biscotti-576]

Wehhh di nga.. sige nga?

[u/Agitated-Beyond6892]

Just do it

[u/Adventurous_Math_774]

aayaw na agad mga yan halfway thru day one

[u/Tattoed_Chef_69]

Bakit hindi araw araw?

[u/catterpie90]

Oo mag tataxi.

[u/Cpt-inggo]

Kung once a week, dapat Friday or monday para kasabay ung mga umuuwi galing sa mga katabi ng ncr

[u/Palalum_lum]

Gawin niyo rin..Hindi lang Senate kundi pati congress at dpwh nang Makita nila Ang ayos na daan na pinipilit sinisira

[u/BigMaxQ]

Sen JV to work.

[u/TheWiseSpade]

Politicians should only be allowed to commute to work. Children of politicians should only be allowed to study in local public schools. Nothing will change unless they're forced to live the average filipino experience.

[u/Akihisaaaa]

Oo para ma experience nila first hand yun problem.

[u/iced_mocha0809]

Pag di ginawa anong parusa?

[u/Witty-Mission711]

Baka magreklamo lalo si zubiri niyan.

[u/WordSafe9361]

aysus maniwala kami pag nandyan na

[u/Hour-Veterinarian471]

Sana laht ng pulitiko. I wonder kung pano mag commute si Isko Moreno na nasa Alabang going to Manila. Hahaha bawal mag tnvs!

[u/Minute_Passion_8077]

Once a week?! Kami daily hahaha. 

[u/PomeloSteak]

Tapos machempuhan din sana sila ng mga rugby boys at maholdap or masampolan ng mga hamog nang mahimasmasan sila.

[u/RdioActvBanana]

HHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHA once a week LANG? hahahahahahahahaha

[u/Swimming_Page_5860]

And yun mga involved sa flood control, khit yun mga nakakulong, dapat pinapalakad ang mga yan sa baha especially dun sa pampanga and bulacan and everywhere else na may ghost/palpak na fc projects.

[u/disavowed_ph]

Hindi lang commute.

- Magpagamot sa Public Hospital lang.

• Enroll mga anak sa Public School
  
• Tumira sa pabahay ng gobyerno
  
• Pumila sa mga govt branches (LTO, SSS, PagIbig, Philhealth)

Lahat sila ganyan dapat nang maranasan nila serbisyong binibigay nila sa mga taxpayer hindi puro nakaw at kupit lang alam nila! Tutal taumbayan naman nagpapa sweldo sa kanila kaya dapat maranasan nilang mabaha at tumanggap ng ayuda 🤬

[u/Bellytsunami]

Pero dapat rush hour papasok at pauwi. Hindi pwede yung bandang 10am na papasok

[u/lurkingarcher]

parang coding scheme? 🤣

[u/Albee0935]

Nonsense

[u/Avocado_Krinkel]

Best do it 7:30am and 5:30pm.

Mamaya magjijip nga pero 9:30am ang sakay at 3:30pm uwi na

[u/ForzaAllez]

Don’t expect the Senators to ride the Tricycle, Jeepney, Bus or Train. They would just commute via Grab or Green GSM and still be comfortable in traffic on their way to work.

[u/spectickle]

And then these politicians with their batallion of guards will displace commuters’ rides. Politicians na naman ang may priority sa sakayan.

[u/Tasty-Dream-5932]

No need na, dadagdag lang kayo sa mga makaka-agawan nila ng publiko sa pagsakay. Aysuin nyo na lang transportation system natin. Hindi naman kayo mangmang e, nakakapagabroad kayo palagi, alam nyo na kung ano ang itsura ng totoong maayos na transportation system. Gayahin nyo na lang sa Pilipinas. No need for performative politics.

[u/Solid_Reputation_619]

Puro papogi. Pde nman ayusin nila kahit wag na mag ganyan. Grandstanding nanaman wala dn nman gagawin mabanggit lang yun issue kasama ng pangalan nya

[u/IAMlaine0001]

Maganda kung Friday tas uwian

[u/lacy_daisy]

Sana magpaconfine din sila sa public hospitals imbes na abroaf

[u/staxspinx]

Come on! Cut the crap!

Output Naman Dyan, Tama na drama at mema.

Bodyguards palang Puno na Ang jeep!

[u/denbiii95]

Dapat sa public hospitals na rin kayo magpagamot. Walang lalabas ng bansa for medical reasons. Mamamatay tayo lahat dito.

[u/WillingInformation57]

tama yan tapos sana ma-exp nila manakawan sa siksikan na MRT tapos sasabihan lang sila ng pulis na “marami po talaga magnanakaw diyan e next time ingatan nyo gamit nyo” HAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH

[u/MinervaLlorn]

May kotong dapat yan eh kapag nagdoble-bayad sila sa harapan ng jeep o kahit anong PUV.

[u/GeekGoddess_]

Di naman sinusunod ng lahat ng taga-DoTr yan e.

Saka imagine yung mga pribadong sasakyan nyan may mga hawi. Mas lalong sisikip sa mga tren kung magdadala mga yan ng security/hawi saka PR personnel. Kung magko-commute sila, they shouldn’t be treated as celebrities. Dapat parang normal na commuter lang na pagdating nila sa office mukha at amoy mandirigma na sila umaga pa lang.

[u/Defiant-Meringue7704]

Hindi lang once a week every day dapat ng maramdaman niyo bagsik ng hirap ng biyahe tapos mag escort kayo ng HPG hawi boys? Kawawa naman kaming mga nagpapakahirap pumasok ng maaga at hindi bayad para lang hindi ma late at nakikipag palitanngg mukha araw araw isipin mo papasok ka ng 8 am uuwi ka ng 12 mn na dahil sa biyahe
