Are you kidding me?! Are they nuts? Are the smokers only people that goes to the Public Urinal Area? Unbelievable. I cannot believe that the Governments Agency would go out on the conference and TELL US that they want to consider having the Urinal Area also a Smoking area.
They are really saving on expenses aren't they! they want to divert the funding to the people arresting smokers, when they should have made Metal Cubicles for smokers instead of luring the smokers to the Urinal Areas!
. NO none smoker will dare go to the Urinals now because it's gonna have enhale the strongest concentration of cigarette smoke which might make them get sick too
MMDA Staff said smoke will eliminate the pee odor? why that's the most insane explanation I've ever heard?! we still have albatros and other deodorant stuff out there, why just have funds to buy for each public urinals!
Government's Lousy insane programs, this is one of THEM!

-1 for the MMDA. I don't see the logic behind what they did. Rather than giving smokers another place to smoke, they should focus on eliminating these large companies that create products that damage our internal body. We don't need these companies to survive - IT'S THEM WHO NEED US.

Hello alphenor,
that's the problem, they should have always consider not making the solutions cheap with consequences and should have been thought carefully. this proposal is a slam to our intelligence as a Educated Filipino Citizen!too bad though unless we find other companies for our employees it would be hard for the government (not mmda) to ban smoking factories and companies. 
what would Noynoy do with out smoke

I laughed at your last sentence...well I didn't make it sound since I would disturb others here at the internet cafe..
I forgot about those employees. Hope there are job alternatives that will be appearing soon so that the closure of such companies would be possible. :(

Hello maean_19,
What are they thinking, low budget proposals? Why just create a cubicle that can designated as smoking area. if 3honor is right that smoke can dissipate quickly then they should just make an area for smokers so that people will know and choose to stay out of it. maybe they should put plants there to absorb the smoke

This sounds absurd! And seems no logic at all, why the MMDA people formulated this policy? It doesn't make sense, smoke never eradicate the stingy odor of urine my God!where they get that theory?If that will happen that area "urinals/smoking" smells like hell and before we know it, we will be hugging the headlines all over the world again for having a ghastly, illogical government policy.

Hello Jlamela,
No, It didn't make any sense at all, as if they run out of ideas. who ever made this plan didn't study health class, it's a bad idea. I think we are not stupid to have seen this ourselves. too bad they make their own terrible choices. i wish they just do something right now because this is giving them impression that they're incompetent.

Hello Shattered,
I never remembered asking the same question inthe past, but always asked when there's a discussion like that. you know, barging in here and there. But i do remember making some discussions that haven't been commented just yet. but I am right on track on those, it's not easy but I am doing my best here for now. well, they should just research first.

Hello ddaguno,
Well, the public urinals are mostly for men, but there are some for women, they can't be afford to do so because women washroom because it's a bit closed, there's no open urinal for women. better pee before you leave and when you get into the office. have a nice day.

Oh my. I knew t.ex are oing to thing of something like this. Why can't they think of good projects. Its already good that smoking in public places aren't allowed anymore. Why do they have to even think of m designated places. They should just stop this!
The urinals are so crappy and they spill urine everywhere and its odour is so foul!

Hello chiyosan,
Only Men go to the MMDA Public Urinals but there are men who are non smokers and if they don't have a choice they might go their risking their health. the cubicle idea is good but not the urinal instead make another cubicle for the smokers. they want to make the public urinals even more disgusting and stinky as it is.

I have seen the urinals along EDSA and it is not a closed place and the urine only passes through a tube and goes directly to the canals and not a secluded area where in you can flushed it after peeing. It's so smelly that even when you just passed by at it you have to cover you nose or not breath for minutes. If those urinals will be used for smoking areas, you are really punishing your nose and lungs. If all parts of the city is a non-smoking area, then lawmakers should not allow smokers anywhere, even at the urinals.

Hello Junrapmian,
Yes, that's one thing and a problem because every one goes there. It's really something that we should ALL avoid because it's not good for our health and not good for our noise. i won't use those urinals, though i tried in our subdivision but probably stinky a little bit. have a nice day.

Yuck this sounds like there will be a terrible stench in the urinal areas. Maybe the idea is to get many to stop smoking. I know that I would be sick to my stomach if I had to walk into a combination of musty smoke and urinal smells. lol
What are they thinking? Oh and how about the kid that use the urinals?

Hello hardworkinggurl,
Oh,
such thing is really something not permitted. we maybe third world but were not that stupid, and what they did shows negligence in doing a even more better job. yeah, not to mention KIDS who will use it. I think every one will disagree most specially if there's a kid using it. unfortunately, the public urinals aren't that maintained regularly

That's right Letran.
Have they run out of good ideas that they suggested that? What are those non-smoking lay for, if you will still make use of those urinals as smoking area? Imagine getting into a urinal, where you can inhale the smoke of the smoker who has just smoked in there? Have they not considered that non-smokers will also be badly affected by their smoke?

Hello Simplyd,
I don't know really, am not sure why they have to do this kind of idea. I won't go into those public urinals. i wonder if women would smoke in smoking urinal things. if you're not a smoker, then things will go bad for you. so be careful out there where going there in the first place. have a nice day
