@iyagozum Great idea!

After filming the documentary, I had to do the loop again in February– this time with a Stanley steel tape measure. Measured the width of bike lanes w/in the loop; counted the number of obstructions (as humanly possible) to assess road conditions. #MakeManilaLiveable

Years ago, anthropologist Margaret Mead was asked by a student what she considered to be the first sign of civilization in a culture. The student expected Mead to talk about fishhooks or clay pots or grinding stones. But no. Mead said that the first sign of civilization in an ancient culture was a femur (thighbone) that had been broken and then healed. Mead explained that in the animal kingdom, if you break your leg, you die. You cannot run from danger, get to the river for a drink or hunt for food. You are meat for prowling beasts. No animal survives a broken leg long enough for the bone to heal. A broken femur that has healed is evidence that someone has taken time to stay with the one who fell, has bound up the wound, has carried the person to safety and has tended the person through recovery. Helping someone else through difficulty is where civilization starts, Mead said." We are at our best when we serve others. Be civilized. Credit: Ira Byock.

When the Spanish first explored the islands later called the Philippines, they noted that the islanders were a literate people, using bladed tools to message and write poetry. Baybayin, explained open.spotify.com/episode/3Sooi8…

Ang bicycle lane ay inilaan para sa mga cyclists o nagbi-bisikleta, hindi para sa mga motorcycle riders. Base sa monitoring ng MMDA sa EDSA, napakaraming motorcycle riders ang dumaraan sa bicycle lane. Dahil dito, hindi magamit ng mga nagbibisikleta ang lane na inilaan para sa kanila. Ang bike lane ay hindi fast lane para sa mga motorcycles. Simula bukas, Agosto 21, huhulihin na ang mga nagmomotor na gagamit ng bicycle lane sa EDSA. Disregarding traffic sign ang violation na may kaakibat na P1,000 multa. #mmda

I have come to the conclusion that drivers who honk their cars at cyclists have never biked before. And I am sad for them because they missed out on something beautiful. We have to get more kids on bikes so they don’t grow up to be grumpy drivers.

@kris_ablan Thank you for sharing your time and wisdom! :-)
