I reached out to lead counsel, Atty. Nicholas Kaufman, for the latest update on the health concern and recent incident involving former President Rodrigo Roa Duterte.

Atty. Nicholas Kaufman said, verbatim:

“The former President has reported to me a couple of incidents when he fell in his cell. As a result of one of these incidents, he lost consciousness and was evacuated to hospital where he was assessed for cranial and brain injury.

None of this was reported either to the Defence team or to the family in real time.

The former President is fatigued from his detention and physically incapacitated by various medical conditions afflicting a person of his advanced age. All of these conditions are now known to the Marcos administration after its representatives conducted a surreptitious visit to the ICC detention centre to gather intelligence under the pretense of offering supposed ‘care and concern’ for the welfare of one its citizens.

The Court will rule on whether the former President, who has been kept from the public eye since his surrender, may continue to be detained”.

My Take on the City Council’s Proposal on Number Coding

The proposal of the City Council to implement a number coding scheme for private vehicles has sparked debates in our city. While the intention may be to ease traffic congestion, I believe there are more practical and timely solutions. Allow me to present my points.

1. Owning a Vehicle is Now a Necessity, Not a Luxury

In today’s fast-paced world, having a car is no longer a symbol of extravagance. It is a necessity, especially for families who need to bring their children to different schools and for workers who must manage time efficiently.

2. Davao’s Growth Naturally Brings More Traffic

The boom of Davao City brought in tourism, high-rise buildings, and new infrastructures. Along with development comes the increase in private vehicles. This was foreseeable, and lawmakers should have anticipated such traffic scenarios as part of progress.

3. The Impact of the Bus System

With the introduction of the Bus System approved by the Council, many utility jeepneys have not renewed their franchises and stopped operating. This reduced the availability of alternative transport for commuters and shifted the burden to private car usage.

4. Number Coding is Not Always Practical

It is not always wise to copy Manila’s schemes. Davao’s traffic congestion is mostly felt during peak hours and not the entire day. Implementing a blanket number coding may not suit the unique traffic conditions of our city.

5. Comparing Time Lost

Indeed, a 15-minute trip now takes one to two hours. But is that more burdensome than depriving private car owners of using their vehicles for four whole days, or 96 hours, in a month? The loss seems greater with number coding.

6. Alternative Solutions Are Available

The city already has bypass roads in the northern and southern areas. Why not study rerouting private vehicles without specific business in the downtown area so they avoid congested points like Bankerohan, Quirino, or Pichon?

7. The Coastal Road Project is Almost Complete

With the coastal road about to be fully opened, traffic flow will naturally ease. Implementing number coding at this time seems premature and untimely.

So, traffic is a genuine concern, but number coding is not the most effective nor the most practical solution for Davao City. What we need is forward-looking traffic management that considers infrastructure projects, alternative routes, and smart rerouting rather than simply restricting private vehicle owners.

BUSA, AYAW MI PAKASAD-A. NAAY RASON NGANO NANINGKAMOT MI MAKASAKYANAN BISAN DILI MI KONTRAKTOR.
