The Chariots are an absolute boon for delivering to places with narrow access. Has helped us much with our property refurb. You can't expect western vehicle standards and speeds on the road system here. It's horses for courses.
I just wish they would stay to the right of the roads so people driving at reasonable speeds could easily get around them. Not that anyone else does that, there is absolutely no point to 4 lane highways, or even wider 2 lane roads, here other than having a parking spot the entire length of the highway.
It's the Filipino mindset, if they are not in a hurry they don't care if anyone else is, i got used to it a long time ago and just overtake them on the inside if i can. It's the really slow motorbikes that get me, it must take great skill to go that slow and not topple over.
And some of those slow drivers seem lost, looking for a side road that is almost hid. Either that or they have had too much Tanduay.
Yes i notice a lot of Motorbike drivers seem a lot more interested in what is going on at the roadside than the road in front of them.
Only in the Philippines as they say .... All I can say is learn to live with it. Who is in a rush anyway. We're all retired !
From day 1 the "New Airport was never going to be" it would have never meet international IFR, MSA minimum with Mt Tinus so near, same as RPVD. Also known as Sibulan-Dumaguete Airport. Just look at NOTAMS and other area operational warnings and restrictions. Been saying this since day 1.
yes, but i you are a septuagenarian bicyclist like me, peddling past one of these bring "chariots of fire" music by vangelis through loud and clear to my ears, like it was yesterday! great for the ego! tho i fear one of these days i won't be able to resist raising my arms in triumph as they did in the movie, then no doubt crash. before your time i think mr rye. a little silver lining in every cloud!
