Sec. Art Tugade's Proposed Solutions to End Traffic Problems in Metro Manila

The Secretary of the Department of Transportation, Sec. Arthur Tugade revealed some of the Transportation Department's plans and solutions on how to end the worsening traffic situation in Metro Manila.



Some of the major plans under the Duterte administration to ease the traffic includes the construction of Cable Cars, building modular bridges, implementing the Bus Rapid Transport and allowing companies to operate double decker bus in different parts of Metro Manila.

The project proposals on ending the worsening traffic problems in Metro Manila was presented by the Department to Transportation to the Senate in aid to request an Emergency Power for President Rody Duterte.

Aside from the project proposals prepared by the Transportation Department, Sec. Arthur Tugade also said that the Philippines needs a 30-year road map. Based on their study the country needs a government plan that is legislated, so that traffic experienced in EDSA will not spread in other cities in the country.

The traffic situation of Metro Manila is actually happening slowly in Cebu City. For the record, the Transportation Department revealed that a total of 27 bus terminals were all located in Cubao, and 14 bus terminals in Pasay City.

In Every 2 minutes there is a bus that goes in and out of the terminal. This actually contributes too much traffic in EDSA and transferring them to a strategic location will definitely ease traffic.

Included in the plans of the Transportation Department is to relocate their main officer to Clark Pampanga.

Tesla cloud account hacked to mine cryptocurrency

© Provided by The Hill An unidentified outside hacker infiltrated Tesla's Amazon cloud account and used its systems to quietly mine for cryptocurrencies, a cybersecurity firm announced Tuesday. The hack also potentially exposed the electric car company's data. Researchers for RedLock found that Tesla's credentials on an IT administrative console were not password protected. They made the discovery while trying to track down which organizations had left their Amazon Web Services (AWS) credentials openly exposed on the internet last month. The hackers quietly hijacked the console and began running scripts to generate virtual currency like bitcoin, the latest in a series of "cryptojacking" attacks. The researchers also found the hackers used "sophisticated evasion measures" to go undetected. A spokesperson for Tesla said the company learned about the breach in a company-sanctioned bug bounty program that pays outside hackers to discover vulnerabilitie...

DOF opposes tiered approach to tax on sugary drinks

It will defeat the purpose of imposing excise tax on sugary drinks as a health measure, he added. During deliberations on the comprehensive tax reform bill, Angara floated the idea of implementing the excise tax on sugar sweetened beverages under a three-tier system to incentivize those who manufactu...
