Plains...Stripes...Prints: P.S.O. Perwisyo Sa Oras

The Public Safety Office of the Philippine government has lots of roles in serving our community. One area of which is ensuring the safety on road. Here’s the scenario, Naga City doesn’t have traffic lights, and all there is are signs and assigned officers to do their duties. (Is it cost cutting or just sticking on the basics?o baka naman kinurakot na ung pangbili ng traffic light? haha i dunno). But then, I have been always wondering if “trafficking” (I’m not sure how to call it but they are the ones who stays at the center of the road miming and whistling at drivers to stop and go in different directions) is still included in their job description. Can anyone confirm this to me?

Well anyway, my argument is this, when police officers or the PSO themselves or the Highway Patrol Group people (Formerly TMG or the Traffic Management Group) positions themselves at the center of streets to “traffic” or guide the drivers the more that it results to traffic even though there’s no accident or collision beforehand. Guys, it does waste a lot of time, energy, and gas. (Buti nlng 32 nlng ang gas.. at sana bumaba pa kc kung nsa 61 parin dahil yan ung pinaka msakit na price per liter na narasanan ko? ampff tlgang sisigawan ko na kau)

I know that public or community safety is one your responsibilities that’s why you are there to prevent road accidents. I wouldn’t mind if they do their thing when there’s a collision, accident or a rush hour, but on a regular hour where the traffic is not that much? C’mon!! Here’s my suggestion:

1. Please leave the center and go the side

2. Just observe and be alert.

3. Then if there are undisciplined and hard headed drivers trying to be aggressive? That would be the perfect time for you to do your thing.

Besides we’re giving you the favour of taking a break and a chance to hide yourself from the sun to avoid continued skin discoloration, skin diseases or even skin cancer. Right?

For drivers out there, I just hope we become discipline enough. *sigh* (kaya lng by nature halos matitigas tlga ulo ng mga pinoy drivers haha) so that we will all have a happy driving where there is give and take.(wooshooo wala eh halos walang nagbibigay sa daan)

PSP Prologue

I’m plain.. i’m stripes. and i’m printed

im plain with clear outlook to who i am. im not much of a talker because i am much of a listener, i like to scribble anything that comes out of my mind. sometimes i say it, sometimes i don’t, because there are things that should be left unsaid for others to realize that the absence of word will be enough for an asnwer. no matter how complex life is, i’d still like to live life plain and simple, because too much pre-occupation on the complex can make a person dull and stupid.

i live in stripes..vertical or horizontal.. there are a lot of ways to survive this life called reality. we may have the same coping mechanisms, but we differ on how we feel and react towards all those stressors in life. i live by my words by hit or miss, i stand for what i say.. sometimes life can be misleading because of mouths around us that can make or break us. be affected with what others say or be the effect of what you say to others. it’s a matter of how you strip in the stripes that crosses over your pathway.

i need some prints in my consciousness. i need your reactions to teach me how to live life well and to use my words in the utmost good way. we all need someone beyond ourselves who can pop our heads out to be awakened by reality. we all leave prints in the heart of all those we meet, as you leave prints in my heart, i’ll try to leave something in your heart as well. don’t forget that prints can be also be scars, so let us stay away from that.

Anything visible is powerful, what is Plainly seen, Stripes that crosses over, and Prints that leave marks. But the unseen in a person is something that we should learn, explore and understand. PSP and the unknown is what is within ME that makes me human enough to co-exist with you.

I am the me who can’t be you, but I can share my life with you.
