You have probably seen this.......a contractor laying asphalt. Typical, right? To the point that you see that they NO LONGER "cook" the asphalt but just shovel dry asphalt into a hole on the road AND LEAVE IT THERE for unsuspecting motorists to drive over them and compact it for them. The effect, the TAX PAYING motorists like you and I get blasted with asphalt in running over these improperly laid asphalt and from the vehicle in front of us who's tires are spewing the asphalt on the face of our cars. UNACCEPTABLE!!!
Just so you would know, i experienced this just before lunch on my way to the office along C5 road. C5 road! One of the major highways of Metro Manila. Was it a side street, maybe? No. It was on the C5 Highway itself! It's at the point around 700 meters before the spot where the road forks going to the service road, on the 1st and 2nd lane from the right side (the "slow lane").
To the contractor....SHAME ON YOU! Companies like you contribute to the decay of our country. Only profits are on your mind. That was a very dangerous thing that you did. What if cars panic-braked and caused an accident? Karma will get you, that's certain.
To the government office that paid for this....BOOO!!! How did you choose this contractor? Another rigged bidding? You MOST LIKELY over-paid for this asphalt-laying so they should have at least made a good job. Do you even monitor them? I guess not. Contractors like this should be banned. Very irresponsible of them and they endanger the lives of motorists.
Voice your complaints people! Nothing will get done when we just choose to shut up and ignore this kind of thing! I for one will complain.
Wag nating babuyin ang ating bansa! Our leaders don't really care about this because no one gets punished. Doesn't mean though, that we should do the same.
It's high time that we give a damn!
