The Cebu BRT story feels like a case study of PH infrastructure problems

The Cebu BRT story feels like a case study of PH infrastructure problems

I just finished reading the World Bank restructuring details on Cebu BRT and grabe, it’s both fascinating and frustrating.

What was originally planned:

  1. 13+ km dedicated BRT corridor

  2. 87k daily riders

  3. modern mass transit backbone for Cebu

What remains now after 11 years:

  1. only 2.38 km of dedicated lanes

  2. 3.6k projected riders

  3. incomplete infrastructure before loan closure

  4. major works that apparently never even started procurement

Parang every classic PH infra problem showed up in one project:

-admin transitions -ROW issues -staffing turnover -vacant key positions for years -procurement bottlenecks -changing priorities

The sad part is Cebu genuinely needs better mass transit. 😞

Go girls! Give us nothing!

Bat naman ang sad ng mga feslak ng mga babaeng itis, dapat masaya kayo sa ginawa nyo, na protektahan nyo yung absent ng 6 months na si Pebbles tapos, malaki pa yung chance na ma basura yung flood control report ng BRC at baka ma "forthwith" ulit ang impeachment ni Vepeee 😅. Hayst.

Anyone here nakapunta ng Boracay during the 2010s and then again after the pandemic? Ano yung mga namiss niyo, and ano naman yung mga bagong na-appreciate niyo ngayon? 😁

Ako naman, na-curious lang ako kung kailan talaga sumikat si Boracay. Most of what I see online kasi, sinasabi na peak niya was around 2010s to 2016, yung may balance pa between nature and establishments.
