The area fronting the City Hall was abuzz with activity yesterday. It turned out, some CIPAG members got busy gathering as many pd cabs to the area so as to distribute a "new feature" for the "trayikul" of Calbayog. Signages which read "USWAG Calbayog" (for the front) and biblical passages (for the back).
Talking about these "traysikul". Much has been said about them. There was a point when some quarters wanted them out because these supposedly show how backward Calbayog is. And that with the growing population, motorcabs should replace these pd cabs (or so the argument went that way). Some sort of a "meeting halfway" has been done. The city officials are not phasing put these pd cabs, but registration is being limited to the 2,000 or so units currently operating in the city.
In this age of caring for the environment, I think it makes sense to keep these "traysikul". Well, if only something can be done about their being to picky about picking passengers (hmm, parang may redundancy sa sentence ano).
