Reaction Paper For Road Clearing of President Duterte
REACTION
Clearing the road and sidewalks of obstructions to help mitigate our daily
traffic is as much effective as actually directing and managing traffic in intersections
and should be treated with the same level of importance. It can help to lessen the
traffic jam along the major roads. The roads should be for the vehicles as sidewalks
should be for pedestrian and not for private use.
There could be more social costs involved in these clear and clean operations
of the cities. Aside from the loss of livelihood, there will be dislocation of people and
families; this could lead to children being away from schools or worse being dropped
out especially to those families who resides along the highway and who have make a
living plying their trade in the sidewalk and street.
This road clearing is for the wellness of the majority. It may destroy our house
and source of income but the benefits are more profitable. Our means of transporting
our perishable goods are much easier and will speed up. It will also lessen the traffic
jam we are experiencing right now. We can go home early from work or school. We
can spend more time to our family. We may encounter several problems but it is up
to our local officials to address this problem.
CONCLUSION
This directive from President Duterte comes with many advantages and
disadvantages. This road-clearing will ease the traffic jam we are experiencing. Our
way of transporting goods are much easier and will speed up. It will minimize our
tardiness in our work. But it has a big impact especially to the affected lower-class
resident. Their means of livelihood were gone. The dislocation of people could lead
to their children’s being away from school. So, I conclude that this road clearing
program has a good and bad effects to the community.
