There are billions of people living in the Philippines and Columnist Boo Chanco wrote that “30 percent of the road space is used by vehicles that transport 70 percent of commuters, while 70 percent is used by cars that transport 30 percent of commuters. Metro Manila is one of the center of traffic here in the Philippines because there are main roads that could they use to go to other side of the Philippines, like manila going to province using bus, own van or truck for deliveries.
And as one of the commuters I admit it that its really hard to commute mostly when the time you commute is a so called "rush hour" and jeepnies, bus, taxi, and etc. are not enough to contain commuters, as a student and having a schedule of rush hour because its 7:30am until 5:30pm its making me sick because of the traffic and at the same time the air became more dangerous to our health because of the pollution and getting worst of smoke that vehicle out. And as a solution, Sometimes I wake up early in the morning so that I could go early and will not the experience traffic so hard in that i could go in school earlier, less pollution can inhale, less traffic and you can ride in a jeep that is not full. Sometimes, i go with dad because he have a motorcycle so it could be fast because he could make a "singit" strategy since its just like a bicycle. Or last solution I make is to still wake up early in the morning and ill walk going to school and use the school shuttle service, since I'm only living here in Pasay which is quit near in school.
A Piece of advice if you really want to get early in your destination first measure the distance, next measure your time, be resources, have a time management, and be wise. As the saying of other "Nagbayad ka ng buo, dapat makaupo ka ng Buo! Hindi yung nag bayad ka ng buo tapos pwet mo lng ang makakaupo".

I might slightly disagree on the time because even though you leave early the terminal is already packed unless it is super duper early. But I suggest we use alternative rides. Like me I always bike to school what I get is more savings and having a good exercise. At least saving the mother earth too.
TumugonBurahinSo how about to those who cant drove a bike? because they can balance their self? Also, Getting early in school is not bad, actually you can review or do some stuff that you forget to do in your home, or you can rest for a while so that not in hurry always and you can have a fresh mind when the subject is started -.-"
BurahinThis is nice blog.
BurahinSometimes we get used to the smoke outside while commuting because we actually keep repeating in our minds that we should come in time in school. I like the measure your time part because if i do that once in a while i wont get late in my class everyday.
