Wet Pedestrian

Mr. Fernando made news again, this time running it wet and wild! Dripping soaked katcha brushing you through could probably be THE creative way to get clueless JAYWALKERS to finally recognize the most obvious law on pedestrian crossing. It's always been written, documented, and announced, with signages all over the metro. the white stripes interjecting the roads? the million-peso bridges? the pedestrian traffic lights...(oh, wait, those probably don't work anymore afer decades of posing there useless, sorry.) all those are your living proof that pedestrian law actually does exist. we always just, mind you, consciously dismissed it 'cause it's obviously a lot easier to loiter around free of responsibility. but what we do not realize is the embarrassing part - we had to wait to be insulted by our MMDA Chair before we could give appropriate attention to such a simple rule like this. So simple, but apparently too difficult to act on. So maybe he thought, since we love to party anyway, playing it wet on the streets isn't such a bad idea of a national mardi gras after all! Hats off to Mr. Chair then, i guess?
