MANILA - The left-leaning Bagong Alyansang Makabayan (Bayan) on Sunday said it will file a formal complaint against Manila Water over the water shortage felt in parts of Metro Manila. EXPLAINER: Why is there a water shortage in Metro Manila? Bayan secretary general Renato Reyes said Manila Water may be held liable for "violating [their] contractual obligations" over their failure to provide "uninterrupted water service" stipulated under their concession agreement with the government.

MANILA -- Nasa 34 Pilipino ang namamatay kada araw dahil sa mga road crash, sinabi ng isang eksperto, Linggo. “Thirty four deaths a day [is recorded]... But one death is, for us safety practitioners, too many,” ani Engr. Alberto Suansing, road safety expert at tagapagsalita ng Toll Regulatory Board. Tinatayang 80 prosyento aniya ng mga aksidente ay dahil sa human error, kung saan kabilang ang pagmamaneho nang lasing, pag-counterflow at pagkawala ng kontrol sa sasakyan. “Human error is basically carelessness and recklessness of the driver,” ani Suansing sa panayam ng ABS-CBN News. “Kahit na mechanical problem 'yan, it can still be counted as driver’s error kasi maaaring napuna na niya pero itinuloy pa rin ang journey,” dagdag niya. Pangalawa aniya sa mga nangungunang dahilan ang vehicle defect. “Sa sasakyan na hindi roadworthy, pumutok ang gulong o kaya may mechanical trouble na 'di kaagad napuna bago tumakbo o ginamit ang sasakyan,” … [Read more...] about 34 Pinoy namamatay sa road crash kada araw
