Bicycle Implementation on our Streets




Wazzup Pilipinas!

Should the government implement bicycle lanes on our streets?

Our nation has come to an age of modernization where accelerating machines and simple ones co-exist. Bicycles on the other hand, fall on the latter category: a simple one yet economical. Bicycle is one of the easiest means of transportation. Above anything else, biking reduces carbon dioxide in the atmosphere and promotes healthy lifestyle to the ones who used them.


The Bicycle Act of 2011 (Senate Bill No. 2688) invokes that main roads and highways shall have at least bicycle lanes as per the mandate of the LBO. The bill also indicates the right, restrictions, regulations and incentives of the cyclist. It also indicates the right use of bicycle parts to ensure the safety within the user’s control. Meanwhile, bicycle lanes are installed along EDSA, Remedios circle up to Roxas Avenue, Marcos Highway in Marikina proper and Commonwealth Avenue.


Am I Safe on the Streets?

The word “safety” can be defined as the state or condition of being protected from risks or danger, but we all know that safety is more than just a word, because in reality, it is an assurance that we can live a happy and secured life.

Sometimes, the social safety of a person depends on his habiliment,attitude,and choices.Generally, a man's safety is defined by his own actions.

The streets that we are referring in the title is not taken literally, we can also refer to the crowded or non-illuminated ones.
The pictures displayed are taken during night time because that is when we feel most vulnerable to danger and risks especially on the road.

 The first photo shows a man who sleeps under the foot bridge near a funfair, of course, one of the things that will be questioned is his safety. How could he sleep so tight? Because if we look at the bigger picture of his environment, the funfair is very crowded, full of noise, and maybe, people with wicked minds. We can also see that this man shows weakness and senility.

Wazzup Pilipinas!

Pets are those animals that are very dear to us. Dogs, cats and birds are the common pets that people have. There are reptiles like snakes, lizards etc. that they consider as pet. I guess you have a dog or a cat or a bird in your house. These are pets. Taking care of pets is like taking care of a newborn baby. You must really take care of it to keep them healthy and alive. Like those newborn babies, these pets are also fragile and they acquire diseases easier and faster.

Who doesn't love pets? Some are feared of snakes, that's Ophidiophobia. Some are feared of monkeys, now that's called maimouphobia. There are lots of phobias to animals out there. Phobias occur maybe from accidents or events that something happened with that specific type of animal. 


Hey, we're getting off-topic. Lots of people asks, "How to take care of pet". Remember, there's no perfect way in taking care of your pet. But here are some guidelines on how to take care of your pets. THESE MAY HELP YOU!
