"While we recognize that global climate action must be done immediately, it should not be railroaded at the expense – again – of the marginalized and most vulnerable of society.

In the context of the #PUVMP, although the government has announced last March 1 the extension for the phaseout of traditional #jeepneys, the program apparently is still bound to happen"

Byaheng #tambike ! 😅

"Tambike" is a portmanteau of the #Filipino word "tambay" (hang out, from the word stand-by) and #bike !

The styling is typical of destination signboards found in our colorful #jeepneys.

It's crazy, but I've seen some #cyclists riding at night without lights. Some people just don't think accidents will ever happen to them... till it does. 😐

Oh, I should say... It's not just people on #bicycles. Public utility #jeepneys and motor #tricycles do it too.
