Effective public transportation.

[–]DUCKPATOENTEBIBE 221 points222 points  (12 children)

high speed rail, modern trams 😭😭😭😭

[–]Original-Author-2384 153 points154 points  (7 children)

I’m even okay with buses, jeeps and whatnot. Just have them arrive at pickup and drop off points ON SCHEDULE.

And minding their own lanes instead of hogging 3 out of 4 lanes, causing more traffic.

[–]LongColdNight 17 points18 points  (1 child)

Imagine our current buses, jeeps, and even trikes, upgraded for safety, clean air, and roadworthiness. Well-trained drivers paid by the DOTC who pick up and drop off only in designated areas. One lane on every road with more than two lanes given to them and them being trusted to use it well. Covered stops with wide sidewalks.

[–]cratermon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Naalala ko tuloy ito, a few years ago, kahit gusto sumunod nung bus sa tamang babaan kaso yung mga pasahero mismo pasaway kasi sisigawan at magagalit sa driver dahil ang layo na raw ng lalakarin nila. Tapos pasahero din yung halos sasakupin yung isang kalsada para mag abang ng bus o jeep pag rush hour. Nakalimutan ko na kung anong meron nung taon na yun, panahon pa yata ni Pnoy yun, tapos may tamang babaan na sinusunod, bihira lang kasi ako mag bus nung time na yun.

[–]nxcrosisAverage Chooks to Go Enjoyer 5 points6 points  (0 children)

May daan dito sa amin na sobrang clear na two lanes pero malawak dahil daanan ng truck kung gabi therefore free real estate during morning and afternoon rush hour.

[–]EmperorHad3sLuzon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Also the government need to subsidize yung public transpo natin para talaga enforced yung scheduling ng arrival and departure.

[–]sweethomeafritadaMetro Manila 1 point2 points  (1 child)

Jeeps should really be phased out. Their presence was in response/band aid solution to the destruction of Manila’s tram system. Public transport options that have their exclusive right of way aka trains, metros, subways should be the norm. Trams can be applied though I worry for accidents due to bobo drivers and carefree pedestrians.

[–]Mperrier1234 33 points34 points  (0 children)

Up on high speed rail. Naunahan pa tayo ng Indonesia.

[–]redragonDerp 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Nagbakasyon kami sa South Korea last November. Inggit ako sa public transport nila. Sana satin rin hay.

[–]anamazingredditor 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Orgasmic pakinggan

Nasanay na kase sa "okay na yan" "at least meron"

[–]mangyon 52 points53 points  (1 child)

Agree with this. I worked in another asian country with a good public transportation system, dun ko na-realize how messed up ours is. - Mas consistent and predictable kapag may lakad ka, hindi ka kasi nagre-rely sa pag-aantay ng mga sasakyan na naga-abang ng pasahero - mapa-train or bus may sinusundan na schedule. Dito satin, pag nag-decide si manong mag-abang ng mga pasahero or biglang magpa-gas, wala na. - hindi nakakahiya umupo sa train (as a guy), kasi maraming upuan, also ok lang tumayo sa train kasi consistent yung travel time in between stations - maayos and mine-maintain yung train stations; in the few years that I lived there, nakita kong na-upgrade and improve yung mga train cars. - most ng mga locals na kakilala kong may sariling sasakyan, mas prefer mag-train, especially yung mga malalayo ang tinitirhan. Sabi kasi nila, mas relaxed daw sila mag-train kesa mag-drive ng malalayong distances. Alternatively, ang ginagawa nung iba is magp-park sa train station na malapit sa kanila, then magt-train papunta sa office.

[–]Nero234 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I really hate the waiting time sa buses. Don't get me wrong I know na they need to make money kaya aalis lang yung bus kapag punong puno na (may mga nakatayo).

Pero jusko, minsan nasisira yung scheduled timeframe ng sched ko kapag 30-50 mins ang inaantay ng bus bago umalis specially kapag pa hapon.

[–]TheTalkativeDollalas quatro kid 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Same! When I lived in China many years ago, bus stops had signs with bus routes and numbers so you know which bus numbers/lines would stop at your stop, where else it would stop, how many stops it would take to get there, and what time was the first and last service for that bus line. Later on, I cant remember if it was Baidu or another app, you could see if the bus line you need to take is approaching your stop and estimated arrival time. It wasn't always super accurate, and my comments/observations on co-commuters are not always all good, but it was such a great way to find out how to get around, and a lifesaver if you get lost (if you dont want to spend on a taxi). Especially if you didn't have access to the internet, because 10-15yrs ago it wasn't as internet dependent as it is now.

[–]pbl090804 10 points11 points  (1 child)

Boundary system should be abolished. Corpos (under PPP) should take over the jeepney systems.

[–]Original-Author-2384 16 points17 points  (0 children)

💯 Exactly. In other countries all the drivers care about is being on time. They don’t wait 30mins para lang mapuno yung 16 seater jeepneys nila ng “sampuan” each side, may 4 pa na sabit sa dulo.

Everyone suffers with the current setup.

[–]paxtecum8 8 points9 points  (0 children)

This, kahit sobrang init at siksikan sa PNR tinitiis ko dahil una mura ang pamasahe at pangalawa sobrang bilis ng byahe. Amoy mandirigma ka nga lang pagbaba. Hopefully matapos ang NSCR dahil laking ginhawa nito sa mga commuters.

[–]Shogun-Caesar 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yeah Pub transpo is extremely disappointing especially after you arrive in the country from Japan like I did lol. I remember taking a ferry that was supposed to leave at like 5:30 pm but by 6:30 the thing hasnt even docked yet.

[–]lalalgenio 4 points5 points  (1 child)

This! I was going to say this! Honestly, if we have better transpo I really think there would be less private cars on the road.

[–]SatisfactoryLemon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As someone described by friends and family na di mabubuhay nang walang kotse, lagi ko to sinasabi lalo na pag galing akong ibang bansa (i.e. Japan); hindi ko kailangan ng kotse kung kasing efficient ng Japan ang public transpo natin.

[–]avocado1952 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Eto talaga eh.

[–]CL_is_my_queenMetro Manila 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ate ko sa Australia pinapainggit kami, libre trams sa kanila HAHAHAHAHA.

[–]Embarrassed-Fee1279 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Totoo. Kung maayos public transpo dito ni hindi ko iisipin bumili ng sasakyan. Kahit naman ngayon eh, ayoko talaga mag kotse pero pang mandirigma kasi commute dito.

[–]Quiet_Start_1736not all bisaya are DDS 647 points648 points  (14 children)

We need green cities to cool our country.

[–]AdFit851 91 points92 points  (3 children)

Actually sabi ng pinsan kong architect kasma nman daw tlaga sa pagdedevelop nila ng mga pabahay ang mga puno, pero dahil nag coco-cost cut mga developer eh hindi na sya nasasama sa landscaping ng mga subdivision.

[–]CantRenameThis 2 points3 points  (1 child)

Akala ko something about coco(nut)-dust na gamit as materyales. Coco-cost pala hahaha

[–]franafernz27Luzon 68 points69 points  (1 child)

This should be the top comment

[–]Thin-Length-1211 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Agree!! Ginawa ng mga subdivision yung iba. wala ng tinirang mga puno. Sobrang alinsangan at polluted pagwalang mga puno.

[–]pythadzuki 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Man! I've been talking about this the whole week!!!

[–]rldshell 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I dont think people understand what green cities are.

[–]Aeron0704 5 points6 points  (1 child)

Green city pa din ba ang Puerto Princesa sa Palawan? Last time na napunta ako dun nung 2013 pa, ang ganda kasi puro puno

[–]IndaySaraGeronimo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

No. City of the Living God na siya.😂 Sobrang init. You can see it tops the temperature warning everyday.

[–]Mary_Jailer 5 points6 points  (0 children)

[–]iwritethesongs2019naliligaw na reporter 544 points545 points  (13 children)

true sidewalks... 😅

[–]mxwitcher sago 82 points83 points  (0 children)

I’m so passionate about this. I hate the fact na as if 10000 ang car lanes gaganda ang buhay sa pilipinas. Ginagawa lang ring bentahan ang sidewalks smh.

[–]zarustras 40 points41 points  (3 children)

Balasubas kasi mga residente. Gahaman sa lupa, pati sidewalks sinasakop, gagawing parte ng terrace, tindahan, CR, garahe.

[–]Few-Inspector9304 5 points6 points  (2 children)

Ito talaga. Parang taon-taon may road widening dito samin pero potek, di maramdaman, sinasakop lang din.

[–]yourgrace91 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Dito sa amin ginagawa lang parking lot lol

[–]nxcrosisAverage Chooks to Go Enjoyer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Noong nag road widening dito sa amin may nabalita na yung waiting shed ginawang part ng bahay.

[–]AsuraOmega 36 points37 points  (1 child)

yung tipong ang liit na nga ng sidewalk tapos may nakapark pang Pajero lmao

[–]SantySinner 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Agree, hindi rin kasi PWD-friendly ang sidewalks.

[–]Little-Form9374 345 points346 points  (8 children)

Accesible playgrounds/gym in parks just like in Singapore

[–]RisingStormy 45 points46 points  (1 child)

Any bit of space here gets sold just to make even more money. Everything here is so short sighted

[–]BeardedGlass 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Mahilig sa get rich quick and easy money. Kaya ambilis din magoyo sa scams.

[–]bookworm23_ 320 points321 points  (19 children)

More public libraries 📚

[–]No_Butterscotch4981 107 points108 points  (12 children)

Visit us in Ortigas Foundation Library! We're open from Mondays to Sat - it's free ❤️

[–]ri0246[] 26 points27 points  (3 children)

This is awesome! I wish we have these in provinces too. Wishing your library the best, and more patrons to come! ❣️

[–]No_Butterscotch4981 21 points22 points  (2 children)

Thank you! We're trying to market as much as we can, sadly not a lot of people use the library now. But it's a perfect place to study, read, and work. Hope na magkaroon ng library sa province mo!

[–]Ok_Werewolf1657 7 points8 points  (2 children)

Air-conditioned po ba?

[–]No_Butterscotch4981 25 points26 points  (1 child)

Yes po! We have hundreds of filipiniana books and may mga book talks din. We're located in greenhills.

[–]helpadyscalculic 1 point2 points  (1 child)

Hello po, what time po kayo nagsasara?

[–]No_Butterscotch4981 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hello, 5pm po

[–]sweetcorn2022 1 point2 points  (1 child)

you have plans ba to branch out sa other areas like provinces? hahaha baka naman.

[–]No_Butterscotch4981 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Wala pa po for now. We just rely on donations :)

[–]IamdWalru5 21 points22 points  (3 children)

Public libraries na di lang books pinapahiram. I own a Kindle. Inggit na inggit ako sa mga nasa America na gamit na gamit ang Kindle nila kasi manghihiram lang sila sa library lang nila. Plus, they are able to borrow movies and in some cases video games and audiobooks.

[–]diatomaceousearth01 12 points13 points  (2 children)

I am in Vancouver and my local library gives us access to Cricut, 3d printing, and nintendo switch games!! Hehehe

[–]Howbowduh 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I just recently learned that we have RA 7743 that requires every local government unit—district, city, municipality—to have a public library, and every barangay should have a reading center.

Another law that is not well implemented in the Philippines.

[–]Brokbakan 243 points244 points  (5 children)

Actual walkable streets. hindi yung may mga vendors lahat or di pantay mga tapakan.

[–]mshaneler 22 points23 points  (0 children)

This is a problem for me. Some parts of the sidewalk are inclined some are declined.

[–]DUCKPATOENTEBIBE 13 points14 points  (0 children)

cross walks hindi footbridge 👊👊

[–]fr3nzy821 4 points5 points  (0 children)

sana all nga may sidewalk. dito samin naturingang city pero wala talagang space for sidewalk. As in kalsada katabi na ng bahay,

[–]fried_kimbap_23 221 points222 points  (11 children)

well equipped and hygienic public bathrooms

[–]CL_is_my_queenMetro Manila 33 points34 points  (4 children)

Ako lang ba naiingit sa ibang bansa libre ang menstruation products???

University nga namin walang tissue at napkin machine eh

[–]hobbityboopMindanao 6 points7 points  (2 children)

Eto talaga yung may TP, bidet, and alcohol/sanitizer kada stall

[–]fried_kimbap_23 1 point2 points  (1 child)

grabe yung iba kahit tissue, di maprovide

[–]nnetcatil 184 points185 points  (9 children)

Shoppee-like app na PURO pinoy products. Yung bang wala ang reseller, chinese products. As in direct pinoy makers-to-consumers lang

[–]DoubleLow3048 29 points30 points  (0 children)

Sana may maka realize ng concept na 'to. It would help our local trade industry so much.

[–]_xtrarice 28 points29 points  (0 children)

I previously worked as a digital marketing executive for a company that had this goal. Magso-soft launch sana nu'ng 2018 (target was June), kaso insufficient yung support from investors, partners, and collaborators. Around May 2018, na-pullout yung project tapos yung mother company, nakipag-merge na lang with a digital media LLC. We had a vision na gawing regional yung demographic with dedicated CS who can speak the languages based sa province/region, and i-push yung trade sa local products para ma-expand yung reach ng mga lesser-known small businesses, kaso not many believed it would be efficient enough to work. Sayang, kase I genuinely thought that was gonna be my career highlight and help empower fellow Filipinos in supporting local merchs. Na-displace ako with one last project in Singapore, bago nag-pullout yung client completely.

[–]wa-ra-gud 7 points8 points  (1 child)

Nice idea. Gawan natin ng app to. 😁

[–]nnetcatil 21 points22 points  (0 children)

If you do, kindly include yung mga small local farmers. Turuan sila gumamit ng app para manotify yung mga couriers na may binebenta sila fresh produce

Nakakaawa kasi yung mga tinatapon lang yung crops kasi hindi mabenta, wala kasi ginagawa yung DA para bilihin crops nila

[–]jethawkings 1 point2 points  (1 child)

Shoppee/Lazada thrives because of those cheap chinese products.

You're better off just Favoriting/Saving the accounts/pages/websites of local manufacturers/vendors.

For context, even Amazon and Etsy are now filled to the brim with cheap crap from China.

[–]junbjace 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This. Masarap pakinggan pero that is not how economies work.

[–]redmonk3y2020 122 points123 points  (2 children)

Proper waste management programs... frustrating ang garbage problems dito sa atin.

[–]Ill-Ant-1051 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Grabe. I dont know why lgu's doesnt team up with local junkshops!

[–]Candid_Bowler1211 6 points7 points  (0 children)

totally agree!

[–]dunedinesoar 124 points125 points  (5 children)

No more spaghetti wires

[–]ri0246[] 26 points27 points  (1 child)

True! Nakakatakot yung mga ganito eh. Like aantayin pa ba nila makadisgrasya ng tao bago ayusin? Saka ang sakit din nga sa mata tingnan.

[–]Mindless-Air-4406 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Kahit makadisgrasya ng tao, hindi pa rin naman nila inaayos 😂 buti di magulo yung wiring sa amin, pero sa mga eskinita, grabe yung mga wiring nila. Merong time sunod sunod yung mga sunog sa may mga eskinita.

[–]potatoinallways 1 point2 points  (1 child)

Actually, goods sana na underground na din lahat ng utilities natin kaso some factors we need to consider is:

  1. Bahain yung country natin
  2. Madaming unregulated developments sa pinas specially pag residential. So andon yung risk na madali yung mga underground utilities ng 'di sinasadya'

[–]sundaeknows 110 points111 points  (17 children)

Common sense, rational and critical thinking. Discussion of politics, religion and other social issues para hindi nabobobo yung mga tao kapag kailangan na magdecide about those topics. Not talking about it makes people ignorant. Sex? Nope that’s taboo wag pagusapan para hindi gawin ng mga kabataan. So Ayun karamihan sa mga first timers sa sex, nakakabuo tuloy kase di nila alam ano ieexpect.

[–]uwuwubleh 15 points16 points  (11 children)

This should be the top comment! Sa sobrang walang kamuwang muwang ng mga tao di na nila alam inaabuso sila.

With sex education, 80% of the people are catholics. And they do not believe in pre-marital sex. Having sex before marriage is a no no. They're blinded by their religion kaya naman hindi sila naniniwala pag yung anak nila may ginagawa ng kasalanan at ano naman gagawin ng tao pag nakagawa na? Tatanggapin nalang kase blessing kay God. I experience this myself. This is a true story.

I think the reason why most plp are stupid is bc how the system is set up. How the government controls the people. It's "poverty" and corruption combo plus uneducated people. This country is corrupt by it's roots and only the rich benefits. There's even a song about this by bamboo, gloc-9 and up to today it remains true. Kaya nga may kasabihan din na mahirap maging mahirap.

[–]sundaeknows 11 points12 points  (10 children)

Religion dumbs people. Change my mind.

[–]HatsNDiceRolls 9 points10 points  (5 children)

Dunno what to tell you, maybe that’s true for the fundamentalists. But not true for all.

History would tell you that a good bit of academic scholarship everywhere was rooted in religious education. From the golden age of Islam, to philosophy with thinkers like Aquinas, to the Jesuits, and the concept of the classroom system that was revolutionized by La Salle.

Religions don’t necessarily make people dumb. Religions used by charlatans, scoundrels, and tyrants do.

[–]sundaeknows 6 points7 points  (4 children)

Enlighten me about this golden age of Islam. As far as I know, Baghdad used to be the intellectual center of the world until it got sacked and Islam rose to prominence. Majority of the discoveries during that time period wasn’t because of religion.

I would still give credit to where it’s due. I thank the Catholic Church and the Jesuit priests for our modern day calendar system.

[–]uwuwubleh 2 points3 points  (2 children)

I agree 100%

Yung paniniwala nila minsan hindi na ginagamitan ng utak. They just believe something will work out on its own if it's God's willing kahit wala na sa tama

[–]sundaeknows 1 point2 points  (1 child)

Faith is the firm belief in something for which there is no proof. That describes majority of the people who voted for those idiots in the government. See faith isn’t just for religion. It extends to almost everything. I would rather have questions that couldn’t be answered (for now) rather answers that couldn’t be questioned. You can’t make me believe in something without any evidence or at least any logical explanation why I should.

[–]markmarkmark77 62 points63 points  (2 children)

more parks / open spaces. kaka inggit sa ibang bansa ang daming parks.

more trains, maayos na public transpo

[–]pulubingpinoy 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Late 80s and early 90s talamak ang public parks. Sa sta mesa. ilang blocks away lang may public parks na laruan ng mga bata. Halos magkakadikit pa.

I hate it now that in order for our kids to play, we need kid zoona and other ball pit themed parks sa malls. :(

All of that are gone because we love cars.

[–]ekrile 55 points56 points  (0 children)

Universal healthcare na effective 🥲

[–]Oatmeal_n_Blue 54 points55 points  (2 children)

Public libraries open for 24 hours. Cafes are expensive, most Filipino houses aren’t ideal learning environment tbh :((

[–]ri0246[] 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I agree. And pati rin cafes minsan hindi na rin ganoon ka-conducive kasi it gets loud and crowded. We've planned on doing this before, but considering the wage in the Philippines, medyo hard sya i-sustain on the side.

[–]Life_Amount_8433 56 points57 points  (9 children)

I've been living in malaysia for almost two years now and while PH and MY are both tagged as third-world countries, it's hard to admit na life is more comfortable in MY. Why? For me, primarily because of trains. The whole of KL has accessible trains and they are all interconnected, I, myself am living in a condo and nasa likod lang ang train station so I can literally travel around KL anytime. Except of course, during midnights as train stations only operate til 12MN-ish.

Also, roads are pedestrian-friendly, so it's either magtrain ka na lang talaga or walk, except kung tamad ka and di ka masasayangan sa pag grab.

[–]sharkybyte101 43 points44 points  (5 children)

When people say MY, PH and TH are third world countries... natatawa na lang ako. Napagiwanan na tayo nila.

Meanwhile us who always go to these countries... alam natin... ang layo... ang layo talaga ng agwat na.

[–]Life_Amount_8433 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Riiiight? I cant help but feel hopeless towards the PH. Bound to go back bc.. family. I'm scared.

[–]ColdWill29 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Baka naman kasi 4th world talaga tayo lmao

[–]Ok-Condition-2205 8 points9 points  (2 children)

[–]Life_Amount_8433 3 points4 points  (1 child)

BPO. Come here! It's generally okay.

[–]cotton_on_phMetro Manila 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I'm curious.. what are your functions there in the BPO company there in Malaysia? Is the cost of living there high?

[–]vertintro314 34 points35 points  (0 children)

reliable transpo, like trains. Been into other countries, sobrang reliable ng transpo nila. Ang system din sa transaction karamihan online, sa atin di pa masyado maximize ang tech, need pa ng physical presense.

[–]forallthebananas 28 points29 points  (9 children)

Reliable cashless payment (the method itself and terminals in establishments)

[–]Project--4 6 points7 points  (2 children)

I think the reason why it isn't being promoted/adopted is the high probability of being hacked. Criminals with NFC scanners when you ride the MRT everyday will just create more socmed post about wanting refunds. Businesses don't want to deal with that headache, and with the law enforcement in the Philippines, and I don't blame them.

[–]xiaolongbaoloyalist 5 points6 points  (1 child)

Yes! Wishing for the day when NFC payments are widely accepted here. Ang hirap ng QR kapag walang data/signal

[–]payurenyodagimas 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Businessmen dont want to invest and dont want to pay merchants fees

I think thats the problem

[–]Momshie_mo100% Austronesian 1 point2 points  (2 children)

Well, most phones na binebenta sa PH, walang NFC lalo na kapag Chinese brands

[–]HawkIndividual7917 28 points29 points  (1 child)

  • Sidewalk-bike lane hybrid almost as wide as the roads
  • Resilient tree species lining up those sidewalks to provide shade for pedestrians
  • Trams!
  • Public parks that are hotspots for biodiversity
  • Recycling, recovery and waste management with focus on circularity
  • Economic activity along Pasig River benefiting MSMEs, with plans for water stewardship

[–]ri0246[] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Better consumer protection. Sa ibang bansa, empowered ang consumers. Pag may problema ka sa item na binili mo, pwede mong ibalik agad sa shop. Pag nag-reklamo ka at hindi inaksyunan ng shop, may mga agency na sasalo sayo. Oo, may DTI pero hindi naman lahat naaaksyunan nila. Pati charge back sa bangko madali lang. Dito sa Pinas, kasalanan mo pa na may factory defect yung item. Kasalanan mo na minalas ka na natapat sayo yung lemon na item at kahit dapat palitan agad ng shop yung sirang binenta nila sayo, ikaw pa ang kelangan mag-adjust sa timeline nila kung kelan nila gustong i-testing yung defective na product mo. Na-enjoy na nila yung pera mo, ikaw naghihintay pa rin.

[–]yellow-tulip-92 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Free pads/napkins/tampon and condoms. This might be a stretch pero first line OCPs (syempre with free check-up na rin sana) and emergency pills na rin. Overall, this should be started sa sex education.

[–]_iam1038_ 17 points18 points  (7 children)

Hobbies and recreational center (not just Basketball Courts). Have something like a “Board Game Library” or TTRPG game areas

[–]ri0246[] 4 points5 points  (4 children)

Hey, this sounds incredible actually! I wish this could happen even in just one place. Remember nung quarantine nauso yung community pantry , tapos nagsi-gaya na yung iba? Sana may ganung effect din sa mga ganito, no?

[–]_iam1038_ 6 points7 points  (3 children)

Kahit nga yung Community of Board Game/TTRPG Players lang ang mabuo. Maintroduce lang yung Board Games at TTRPGs specially sa mga kabataan.

Pero hey? A Board Game Library will definitely appeal to groups including the seniors. Imagine how cute it is to see a group of senior citizens enjoying a game of Catan.

[–]ri0246[] 1 point2 points  (2 children)

Diba? I remember seeing some of these scenes in some Kdramas where seniors are playing board games under the shade of trees. Nakakarelax lang tingnan. Di yung, puro maritesan lang kaliwa't kanan ang pinagkakaabalahan palagi 😅

TTRPGs are nice too, it enhances creativity and imagination!

As for Community of TTRPG players, I believe they do have it, but it's more online. Would be nice see it as a norm though. But of course, people nowadays would mostly do it if it was trending.

[–]_iam1038_ 1 point2 points  (1 child)

Siguro if people saw tiktok posts/fb reels of groups playing TTRPG, malamang dumami ang D&D Players bigla hahaha. pero no joke I hope dumami yung Board Game and TTRPG Communities/Players dito. Would've been good din if mayroon sa mga Universities

[–]BooksAreBetterThanTV 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was actually just talking with my wife about how cool it would be to start a board game cafe where people could come play games and enjoy a simple menu, but we live so far from town that it wouldn't work for us.

[–]jethawkings 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There's actually a lot of them now in the Metro. If you're not living in Metro Manila, unironically because of this be the change you want to be, like I know there's a huge sense of fear/embarassment of just posting on a Local Facebook Group asking around if there are people who want to try TTRPGs / Board Game Days.

[–]renmakoto15dadibelsadbokeyt 16 points17 points  (2 children)

Living wage.

[–]ri0246[] 3 points4 points  (1 child)

Like wages increase with inflation, hindi yung bilihin lang ang tumataas no?

[–]renmakoto15dadibelsadbokeyt 2 points3 points  (0 children)

sana masuka na tayong lahat sa barely surviving wage na inaadvertise as competitive salary fuckage.

A competitive financial system.

Not just in local cities but PH as a whole has an awful financial system structure. I like InstaPay and PESONet but that's it.

As soon as we need to deal with outgoing international transfers, SOBRANG outdated. Either mahal ng fees or sobrang manual ng processing.

Just take quick look at Western Union TH vs Western Union PH. You can do an easy online transfer from TH to PH. But PH to TH? Kailangan pa mag cash out at pumunta sa pinakamalapit na branch lol.

Our stock market is dead.

We don't have decent IRAs. We tried with P.E.R.A. but there's not enough offerings.

Our SEC banned "forex" and and is doing a crackdown on crypto, instead of finding ways to regulate it.

But this is expected, the local banks/corporations and SEC are not investing a lot on innovation. One look at their internal processes and you'd know how manual it is. It's difficult to improve or innovate if ang daming manual na ginagawa.

Night markets, hope the government support SMEs para dumami successful businesses. Meaning more restaurants, more choices of quality food. Paulit ulit yung tusok tusok sa labas ang liit pa ng serving at di ka pa busog.

Better new choices of food near every convenience store.

Also hope that mas malaki serving ng isang meal. Tayo lang ata sa Pinas ang maliit ang serving compared other SEA neighbors.

Less car centric Philippines. Ban tiktok.

Philippines should have more free parks for leisure, interactive museums.

Integrated transportation system under the jurisdiction of the government.

Example here is Malaysia. Kuala Lumpur has a state owned company Rapid KL. Rapid KL handles the entire city public transportation. From buses, LRT, MRT, and their Monorail. The only form of public transport that can be operated by a private individual are grab cars(which if I remember correctly not supervised by the government at all unlike here.) and taxi.

Kuala Lumpur has traffic but the people of KL have no trouble traveling within the city because of their buses and trains. Top of that, Grab and taxi are way more cheaper there than here. RapidKL also use a tap card which can be find in most develop countries. In thr Philippines, we don't have a unified payment scheme for this. Everything is too separated.

In the Philippines, for me personally, I believe letting the general public handle the public transport is a huge mistake. Department of Transportation should have been the one to operate on every PUV in the city, not under private individuals minus grab, angkas, and taxis. Since anyone can form their own transport company, there is no uniformity. No standards on what the buses look like in the metro. Different standards in picking bus drivers. In jeeps, same issue but way worse. Any man with a drivers license can become a jeepney driver. And since jeepney drivers use boundary system, nangyayari they will break almost every single traffic rule para kumita kahit tumambay ng ubod ng tagal sa isang pwesto mapuno lang ang jeep. Not all jeepney drivers are like this pero marami sila ganito.

Also ito pa. OUR PUBLIC TRANSPORT SYSTEM GIVES MORE IMPORTANCE TO PROFIT THAN PASSENGER SAFETY AND COMFORT. Kita naman yan na lagi pilit pinupuno Jeep kahit na reach na maximum capacity. Tapos iba sasabit sa jeep makapasok lang ng office.

And another issue sa pagdependent ng government sa public for public transport. WHEN THE GOVERNMENT DECIDED THAT EVERYONE REQUIRES TO UPGRADE LIKE JEEPNEY MODERNIZATION PROGRAM, NOT EVERYONE CAN AFFORD IT. PLUS NOBODY IS RIGHT OR WRONG HERE. TAMA ANG GOVERNMENT NA KAILANGAN PALITAN NA LUMANG JEEP NA LAMPAS NA LAMPAS NA SERVICE LIFE. PERO TAMA RIN NORMAL JEEPNEY DRIVER NA MAWAWALAN SILA NG HANAPBUHAY.

The only way na lang is to rebuilt the entire public transport system. One company owned by the state to handle everything. All public transportation right shall be bought out. Make all vehicles standard in all of metro manila. Give importance to passenger safety and comfort than profit. Build more trains. Let buses operate more on larger roads while jeepneys will only operate in smaller public roada but Buses should be the main public transport in the city. Grab, angkas, and taxi be given more leeway to operate.

Ang rami... Pero lahat ito kaya natin in the next 5 years, mark my word - it's all about whether enough private or government involvement will happen once the public asks for them, oh well.

  • Public bathing/shower facilities next to all major destinations (a must-have for those who bike-commute or do any commuting nowadays, honestly. Arriving to a meet-up all smelly is a valid dealbreaker for some, but unfortunately that tends to push them to use a car instead as I would understand).

  • Safe lockers/item keeping facilities in major destinations (As is relevant with the previous point, some people don't want to lug around an entirely separate bag full of unwashed clothes if they're meeting up with someone, or if they're using a motorcycle and they have no space for their helmet: their gear, especially in formal occasions. At least 20% of my concerns with commuting places in today's weather tends to be with where I'll be able to shower in case I get all-sweaty, and where I can store my stuff so that I don't need to bring a bag of smelly clothes to a meet-up with friends).

  • Rivers as destinations (Ang rami nating local riverbank na nagiging anonymous sa majority ng locals kasi... Puro dumi. I know it's bad to compare, but since cleaning up rivers is a relatively small task to hope for: look at South Korea, Japan, etc... They've got small rivers all over the city too, but they're clean and you can walk around them and just spend time there. Ilan-ilan lang ang ganun satin. Better yet, we could clean up and make riverbanks walkable destinations in so many rural places habang wala pang build-up of settlements or large establishments around them. Also, imagine the amount of people you could employ to help maintain these rivers? Ayun, we suddenly have a lot of locals who are incentivized to keep the river clean because it's nice, and a bunch of locals who are now consistently employed by an LGU to maintain the river)

  • A Unified Transportation Card (As much as it incentivizes private investment into cashless technologies, I'd much rather ALL our transportation modes that use cashless payments support the same exact cards/technologies instead of having varieties of support. I don't mind TripKo, BEEP, BeepCard, etc... existing, what I mind is the fact that I can't use them interchangeably because a lot of these transportation organizations are private entities. Please incentivize universal support, not forcing the typical metro-wide commuter to have two, three, four cards just to get around. ALSO, pwede bang refillable sila at every convenience store? We know it's possible, the only thing keeping it from happening is lack of government willingness to enforce universality and the maintenance of payment terminals + a lot of private interest for having their own ecosystem of payments. I hope in the next 5 years, with stuff like EasyTrip and Autosweep being interoperable that others follow suit, such as the bus and train-focused cards.)

  • Established Transportation Stops, Wayfinding, and Online Publication of Info (One of the major things keeping a lot of the middle-class convinced that cars are their 'goal' transportation mode is because of how unintuitive it is to learn PUV/PUJ routes in new places. Please, we can no longer rely exclusively on the P2P or the Tricycle-like any stop systems. We need to establish formal stops. This allows us to create CONSISTENT fare matrices, allowing commuters to know exactly where to wait for a ride and where to get off, and most of all: If adjustments to the route happen, knowing the exact stops is a lot more useful to a commuter than just telling them that the boundaries of the jeep has changed, for example. Please, established stops which allow the public to know where they will leave the jeep, and always post updated fare matrices online for all routes. Mas mahirap ito under the current system na boundary-boundary, please. This doesn't even rely on the buses consolidating, it's all just regulation and willingness by govs to establish even just literal signboards to designate where the stops are. Most jeeps stop at vaguely the same destinations anyways along major avenues, let's formally establish them para walang vague. The small investment of a dozen signboards, the few weeks of deciding where the best stops for commuters are, a week of communicating with all operators, and a week of communicating the transition to established stops to the commuters is already below the amount of effort needed compared to the stuff they do regularly do now, and ang laki pa ng benefit).

1) Green spaces

Maraming puno sa sidewalk. May hectares of grass and trees talaga for children to play at and people to stroll on. Progress doesn’t equate to buildings talaga.

2) Public notices

Yung local council mag po-post ng proposals/plans tapos ini-invite ang public to challenge it or counter propose. For example, may mall na gustong tumayo sa ganitong street, magtatanong ang council kung okay lang ba sa public. And the public, normally and to my disbelief, usually would oppose citing pollution or increase in road traffic. Sa Pilipinas kasi magugulat ka na lang may bagong mall at subdivision na naman ang mga Villar.

1) Public transportation. I just want to see my country, before I die, have trains running from Laoag all the way to Zamboanga, train ferries in the San Bernardino and Surigao Straits. I want modernized and disciplined jeeps and buses. I want to see bus stops and people lining up there. With the PUJ Modernization program ongoing, the numerous train projects under construction (LRT1 Cavite Extension, Metro Manila Subway, North-South Commuter Railway) and ongoing feasibility studies:

  • San Mateo Railway

  • PNR North Long Haul

  • Samar-Leyte Railway

  • Northern Mindanao Railway

  • Davao region phase ng Mindanao Railway

I hope we're getting to a better public transportation scene in the Philippines.

2) Sidewalks. Good and nice sidewalks that are not hogged up by some street vendor or dweller.

3) Third places (parks, libraries etc). Give people more choices for places to stay that are not home or school/work! Give us playgrounds, parks, and libraries.

4) Greenery in the city. Are tree-lined avenues just a dream for the Philippines? I hope not. And if gagawa man sila, 'wag sana mahogany. Please.

5) Protection of cultural heritage. Asan na yung mga lumang bahay ng mga bayani natin? Where are the remains of old train stations, of old Spanish outposts? Sana naman naiingatan. As far as I know, the former Aduana building is being renovated, so I guess that's a good start. The old stations ng PNR North Line is also to be renovated and made into mini-museums.

6) Land value taxation.

7) Credible military might. The AFP Modernization Program is ongoing so I'm all for it, especially when they said they were going to natively manufacture our ships. We also need to boost STEM education in order to make our own technology.

8) Robust export-oriented manufacturing sector. We should not just export agricultural products and minerals; we should also be able to process the minerals as well as make other goods other than those. I want Filipino household items exported; imagine a Filipino refrigerator brand? Or a Filipino car brand?

9) Language protection. Our culture is super diverse. May mga namamatay na na wika sa Pilipinas, and we need to ensure that those languages would not go totally extinct. I know mandato 'to ng KWF and I hope they are doing their job.

10) Thriving book industry. Madadaming Pilipinong magaling sumulat. We should give them support and the proper avenue to succeed. We need to bring back the importance of reading. It would help us in many ways, from language exposure to cultural exposure to improving critical thinking and many more.

11) Better schools and curriculum. What should I say more here?

12) A sense of patriotism. Hindi lang siya pagiging makabayan, but also doing things for the motherland. Not littering anywhere is an act of patriotism. Using bathroom facilities properly is an act of patriotism. Avoiding red tape, not being corrupt, just even crossing the street through the zebra crossing is an act of patriotism.

I am a biotechnology student. One thing that I wish we had ay yung development at pag-tangkilik sa native livestock breeds natin, especially yung one specific breed ng cattle sa Pinas (don't know if I can mention the breed kasi pinag-aaralan pa). It's a small breed ng cattle pero maganda yung marbling. One thing my prof mentioned that he observed when they visited the island where this cattle was found is that walang kaalam-alam ang mga small farmers na they are selling high quality beef away like it's regular beef. It will just take sufficient funding and a few decades (or lesss) and we can develop our own "Hanwoo" beef from this. Unfortunately, nalolook over talaga siya.

Pambansang pilosopiya o ideyolohiya bilang tagpuan ng kaisahang pambansa. Kung titignan nating mabuti, bagama't magkakahiwalay ang mga pulo sa Indonesia, mayroon silang sense of national unity dahil mayroon silang guiding principles which is yung, "Pancasila". Sa bansa naman natin napansin ko mayroon tayong pambansang salawikain at ayun ay ang, "Maka-Diyos, Makatao, Makakalikasan at Makabansa". Ngunit, sa kabila ng ating pagkakaroon ng pambasang salawikain, tila ba'y di natin ito nabibigyan ng lubos na pansin o pagpapahalaga. Kaya't marapat lamang na magkaroon din tayo ng isang Kagawaran na nakatuon ang pansin sa pagbuo ng isang pambansang pilosopiya o ideyolohiya upang mapag-isa tayong mga Filipino sa kabila ng ating pagkaka-hati-hati at pagkaka-iba.

Effective Mass Public Transportation to be honest. I loathe the car-centric developments here in the Philippines.

While on the topic of car-centric developments, better sidewalks. It sucks that it's always road widening for the cars but it comes at the cost of decent sidewalks. As someone who loves to walk even under these weather conditions, I wish we had better sidewalks that weren't parked by vehicles, or became crowded with vendors.

[–]mmimbulus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

  1. More LRT lines connecting NCR to key cities in southern and northern Luzon. In an alternate universe PH, maybe we have a train system connected to sea ports (Quezon, Batangas which have routes to other islands) and other major transportation hubs. It will shorten land travel time by a lot.
  2. Well-equipped public libraries that allows registered residents to borrow books. It would be good to have free access to quality local publications as well as popular titles regardless of one's socioeconomic background. Maybe public libraries should take an active role in promoting information literacy among the masses.
  3. A big well-maintained public central park with lots of trees, a lake, kinda like Lumphini Park in Bangkok. Rizal Park is too urban.

Good governance

[–]MACQueu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sakin eto gusto ko..... Full Participative Democracy. A citizen driven democracy. Remove the president and give the power to the people.

In a direct democracy, there is typically no single individual holding the title of president or head of government. Instead, decisions are made collectively by the citizenry through various mechanisms of direct participation, such as referendums, town hall meetings, or online voting platforms. The emphasis is on the direct involvement of all citizens in governance, rather than the concentration of power in the hands of a single leader.

This direct democracy involves every citizen directly participating in decision-making processes, promoting increased engagement, transparency, and inclusivity.

However, challenges include ensuring accessibility, protecting minority rights, streamlining processes, and safeguarding against manipulation. Addressing these challenges requires investment in education, safeguards for minority rights, streamlining decision-making, and enhancing transparency and accountability mechanisms.

This is real democracy. Nakaka sawa na yung façade na democracy ng centralized power ng ating government. Kada nakaka upo self interest ng pinuno tas lahat sipsip kasi masyadonh centralized ang power. Look at Duterte era and Marcos Era. Upfront obvious anomalies and corruption pero covered up kasi centralized power.

Effective and efficient mass transpo, greener spaces, public libraries (please lang, ang hirap mag-aral/work sa cafés), at saka underground electric wires para aesthetic.

Better governance and discipline. Di tau aasenso hanggat hindi nagbabago ung mind set ng mga tao. Corrupt pa, from lowest to highest position, even mga citizen.

A decent bureaucracy to dutifully govern locales and implement better infrastructure without risking common interests for selfish agendas

Competent City/Urban planner. Bakit kasi maglalagay ng major establishment tulad ng malls sa tabi ng highway/major roads, tapos yung entrance pa nasa mismong tapat ng daan.

Divorce. Easy processing of divorce. Better transport system. Walkable sidewalks. Bikeable roads. Wider roads. Clean public toilets. Yung mga pa-audio tours sa museums to make them more accessible.
