reminiscence.. the sum-ag jam of 2008 and 2009




 found some pictures in my 7390 when I had my escapades to my friend every week when I was going to him in barangay sum-ag the last barangay of Bacolod City along the south national road of negros. this pics were shot during the 6:30-7:00 time bracket, during this time the roads along this areas were being developed and were given with a large budget from the national government in the road rehabilitation project under then now outgoing congressman Monico Puentevella.


early morning traffic jam at around 6:45AM, notice that some drivers turned off their engines to conserve fuel. the pace of every vehicle is about 10 to 18 inches every 2 minutes... 



A patchwork, along the way there are cut off asphalt roads and newly finished concrete roads while some areas like this, are being demolished to make way for the foundation of the new concrete roads, sad thing is its very delayed and work begins after 5 or more weeks after the old road has been bulldozed and scraped, and by the time its being built and ready for concreting the rain comes in and ruins the conditioned road and delays the concrete laying for another week or so...


this cycle of delayed work has made serious problems to the roads and also created more and more problems as the rain came in this is what the problems you see..



because of such thick traffic jam, some jeepneys along the route gets stuck and some passengers even get so exhausted of waiting some even to the point they fall asleep in frustration.




that's what happened before you saw the really modern highways along the south and its some of its true stories...
