Traffic in the Greater Manila Area (GMA) is probably one of the worst in Asia if not in the world. According to Metropolitan Manila Development Authority (MMDA), the average speed of vehicles traversing the most used road like Efipanio Delos Santos Avenue (EDSA) is pegged at 20-30 km/hr during rush hour. Several schemes have been implemented to address this problem however, most of them never worked. The increasing volume of vehicles has also added to the big burden of traffic.

In some parts of the world where land area is small and roads are narrow, they have created fly-overs or underground passages to minimize the traffic as has been done also in Metro Manila. Others, like Singapore has commissioned that only one vehicle is allowed per household hence their mass transport has been an excellent alternative if you want to go places. However, this strategy is difficult to implement here because a lot of Filipinos want more than one car in their belonging. The widening of roads has been done to ease up traffic in some areas but bottle-necked roads leading to these widened roads just complicated the recurring problem. My proposed alternative to this perennial problem is the creation of an airconditioned motorcycle. Since we live in a tropical country, going to the office early in the morning with so much sweat is not appealing. Hence, the aircon motorcycle can ease up traffic without the inconvenience of walking, sweating and getting late as well as the hassles that we encounter having the 4-wheeled cars. 3

NU 12 # 5 : queuing system

Our sight seems to be the most important among the five senses. With it, we can see things, the environment around us and appreciate what God has created for us. So that, both young and old alike patronize the optical shop for better eyesight. However, going to this shop located in the malls is becoming a tall order. Like for example, my daughter and I went to one of the well known optical shop. My daughter went there ahead of me so she can have her eyes refracted. She called up the attention of the sales lady five times already and yet nobody is minding her. When I arrived at the optical shop, I asked immediately if they have a number for clients and they said they have but I realized that number is only for clients who wants to have refraction which my daughter is supposed to be getting. It was only then that the sales lady got her name and gave her a number for the refraction.

A system for taking care of clients should be put in place in these establishments especially when there is a heavy flow of customers like during sale, weekends and holidays. They should have sales ladies assigned to individual needs like to those clients who are just "window shopping", those who are looking for shades, those who want contact lenses, those wanting reading glasses only and those who are for refraction and wanting corrective glasses. In such a way, the flow of customers will be smoother and avoids heavy queuing. 3

NU 12 by Cancer Buster - Eliminate Riding in Tandem

Entrepreneurship MBAH H04 NU 12 #4 - The king of the road cancerbuster The motorcycles are one of the cheapest forms of transportation powered by fuel. In some parts of the world, it is the most common type of motor vehicle in use. In our country, the number of motorcycles have gone up for the past couple of years probably due to its affordability, easy to maneuver in metropolis traffic and increasing number of low to middle income population. However, corollary to this is the increasing incidence of motorcycle related crimes like snatching, hold ups and murder by these riding in tandem groups. It has been a perennial problem of the law enforcers and several means of counter actions has been done but to no avail. My take for this riding in tandem groups is a total ban to all bike riders having a passenger. This practice can be implemented through legislation, executive order, police order or even by local ordinance. By doing such act, most if not all crimes committed by riding in tandem groups could be minimized or totally eliminated. 3
