LEGAZPI CITY, Philippines - Oct. 22 - Albay Governor Joey Salceda on Friday expressed dismay over the Supreme Court (SC) ruling allowing the South Luzon Expressway (SLEX) to hike their toll way fees.

"I feel so helpless - saan na tatakbo ang ordinaryong probinsiyano for protection?" he remarked.

According to the governor, the ruling has long-term adverse economic impacts on the welfare of the province's small viajeros who depend on Divisoria trade, or the fish dealers that rely on Navotas, and the ordinary motorists that include students studying in Metro Manila or families visiting their relatives.

Salceda said the Supreme Court has allowed three toll roads to impose an increase in their rates.

It was a Saturday. I am not now sure if it was the 21st of September or the 20th. Through the sheer machinations of the dictator, the documents were ill-dated, post-dated like a bad check.

LATAW sa kulturang Pilipino an pangatorogan na magbalik sa panahon bago pa man makaabot an mga dayong Sulnupanon sa Pilipinas, ini nanggad biyong ikinukurahaw na may makusog na pagnegar—akoon man o dai—sa anuman na pagsakop na nangyari sa satong banwaan.

Satong sineselebrar ngunyan an Solemnidad nin Satong Kagurangnan, an Kristong Hade.
Para sa mga mayo nin pagtubod, an pagkahade ni Jesus saro sanang pag-ulog-ulog kan satong pagkatawo. Ini an paghuna ni Nietzsche. Dakulang ulang sa pag-uswag nin tawo an pagtubod na igwa nin Dyos, na sya Hade, alagad nakapako sa kruz. An kaisipan na ini, para sa saiya, sarong karungawan. Ini an dahilan kun kaya saiyang ibinariwas sa bilog na kinaban na Gadan an Dyos.

Over the years, our Christian-influenced holidays got added up—rightly so—with Muslim holy days. The more, the merrier, of course.
Except for our corporate and business employers who dread the thought of added holiday pay for employees and humble workers like us.
