What is the point?

Dont that partylist - batas have any other strategies left to make themselves known? What they did yesterday was selfish. To satisfy their interests, you did a lot of damages to the city.

That traffic jam, which was really heavy because of that motorcade was not a nice idea in my opinion.



1. Busineses would be affected in the areas you caused that traffic.*

2. Business meetings would also be affected and might be the cause of some deals to be not made.*

3. Air pollution increase.*

4. Emergency service vehicles would be stucked and might be the cause of some lives. although we know that its traffic everyday, that was an unnecessary traffic just to let Guiness** know you can beat the other country.(e.g. ambulance, firetrucks)*

5. Some of the participants have work. It might be their choice to join and support but that will affect the company they are working for thus, inefficiency will arise.***

6. Because of that incident, many people who would have voted for that partylist, might not vote them anymore because of the trouble they caused.****

**** >>> Motorists, on the other hand, said the group's message might have fallen on deaf ears because of the traffic jam caused by the caravan. -from ABS-CBN news website, http://www.abs-cbnnews.com/storypage.aspx?StoryID=76453 Paragraph 10 <<<
