(Philippines) PNoy ordered to clean Metro Manila SG (Singapore) style

I agree with you LetranKnight.... Sometimes the rules are being thrown out and the officers don't care anymore. That's happening now doggydimon so I guess your wish won't come true but then you really think it won't. =) They're good at implementing rules but where are they when there's someone who threw litter?? There gone somewhere else. They must assign a person for that so that they can keep track of the progress and also to discipline Filipinos. How can we be disciplined if the person to discipline us is undisciplined?

I wish it was not true but I think it is. I remember MMDA implementing the anti-littering campaign a few months back but where is it now? If only those who are working at MMDA are dedicated enough just to make this work, I think we can clean the streets.

For now, it's not 100% sure that all Filipinos will learn to follow the rules that's why there are officials to take over. They are the ones who implement it, so they should also do their jobs when someone disobeys it. They should also take their duty seriously, like when they say they will fine you, they should fine you. Because sometimes they don't see the ones who disobeyed.

Hi ip! This time they should get serious when it comes to penalty. I think some Filipinos don't follow because they really don't fine the person. One time, I saw one officer put litter on the road. I'm thinking, where are the rules anyway if they are the ones who don't really follow? When they implement something, they should really implement it by action not just by writing it. =) Have a nice day!

Hope the smoke belchers will be gone too. Sure there's no place like Manila if that can happen. As you said, it only takes person. And that one person is PNoy. There's no harm in trying. And it's a good start if he really plans to clean Manila. But this should also be implemented to other cities so that the whole country is clean.

Yes, if other cities were able to implement it, why not in every city in the country? I really think that we can do it if only people will unite!

Hehehe.. What a sad situation we have if only miracle can help us. =) You're right, changes should start within ourselves. But we can really never control others as they want to litter. =) So rules should be provided and implemented dutifully by the government. By these means, Filipinos will be disciplined. (How I wish) I just can't imagine Philippines as one of the cleanest countries in Asia. =) Well, there's no harm in trying. Goodluck to PNoy..

Yes, it's our part to make this country clean. But as you know, lots of Filipinos are naughty and with bad attitude. They don't follow rules. Sometimes when they implement something like "No Littering. Fine:P100.00", people does not follow. Why? Because no officer saw him. Meaning they made the policy just in writing. They don't take action, that's what the other officials lack.

Teamwork is the best. In following the rules, attitude is the main problem in some Filipinos. But sometimes, you can't just blame the Filipinos because the enforcers seem not to take the rules seriously. I think they should hire an official for litter purpose only so that they can focus on the problem Some officers now are focused just on traffic and violent someone who has no violation. There comes the corruption. That's why Philippines don't succeed =)

Yeah, I really don't get why people love doing that.. I just wish that we learn how to discipline ourselves, and help our country to move forward and to prosper.

Yes, definitely true that when they create rules, they should implement them. We know the Filipinos attitude, some likes doing unnecessary things specially when they are not really violated. And the worst, they will do it again and again until the whole place gets dirty.

Yes, but they should also implement this to other cities and not only Manila. Hope everyone will participate so that we can start to have a good reputation among other countries by being clean on the surroundings and hopefully clean by heart. Meaning, NO CORRUPTION. =)

Good day luram! You're correct not only the MMDA should be involved in cleaning the Metro Manila, should be all up to the small position in the government plus all of us. BUDGET, no problem if the budget will use in correct expenditure, the only problem maybe is the word CORRUPT. If there is no corrupt, we can clean the whole Philippines. We cannot remove the squatter people, they can stay there whatever or whereever they want as long as they have the discipline attitude including the non-squatter people. I'm in favor of relocating the people from under the bridge, it's dangerous for them and it's not good to see them in that way. I'm always thinking of corruption, to achieve our goal there should be no corruption, the President itself should have an example for that. Help our President to make the Philippines, a good place to live.

Hi there luram and anna! Corruption is one of the biggest problems here in the Philippines. For me, even though the President is not corrupt, when his people are, there's still no gain for our country. And you're both right that in order to classify Philippines as a clean country like Singapore, all cities should be cleaned not only Manila. Some projects for the poor should also be established so they can get jobs and build their house so as not to live along the road or under the bridge. Because no matter how clean the city is literally, when there are beggars and people living along the road, Philippines is still dirty by heart. Hope everyday, something good happens in our country. We can't be a perfect country in an instant anyway. Have a nice day to both of you!

Well, I think that's good also. But for now, maybe they should clean first the people living along the roads and under the bridge, same with the vendors along the street so that they can clean the streets with the gigantic scrub hassle-free. =) They should start thinking of where to put those people so that the city will look really clean without flaws. They shouldn't be doing this in Manila only. It should be implemented in the whole of Philippines. You can't say this whole country is clean if it's only Manila anyway, right? =) Have a nice day, greenpeas!
