No offense taken.
There are a zillion trikes and scooters that are way out of control and this situation is getting aggavated everyday! I personally know the person that owns the bank that gives out the loans for the motorcycle companies that sell the scooters. These scooter sales are through the roof! Also, I had a driver in Duma and I found that the massive amount of trikes and scooters to be very annoying to say the least! Try going through Duma early on Sunday morning around 7:30 am. Then, you will see what I mean. There are only a few scooters and trikes lurking around like mosquitoes with malaria!

The traffic problem (scooter, trikes, jeepneys), the lousy and old infrastructure; old sewer mains, old storm mains, not enough roads, most of the roads are in a dilapitated condition, the old bridges, the increasing population, etc. This and the fact that the power is intermittent, the telecommunications system is still below par. The restaraunts are fair to poor in quality, the food markets and grocery stores are fair to poor. The crime in the city is a problem too. Outside of Duma is a different story.

So I suggest that he sells that house in duma and get out while he can. Duma is not getting any better, it is getting worse! Do you see any new roads? Any new storm or sewer drains? Any new waste water treatment plants? The population is growing there too. He/she can get a better education for his/her children and live a better life in Subic.
