MANILA, Philippines — Solutions to heavy traffic in the nation's capital are coming despite budgetary and logistical issues, a National Economic and Development Authority official said Wednesday. Asked if passenger and motorist behavior could be shaped by the infrastructure, Planta said, “It’s a series of events. "There is a consensus of what defines Metro Manila that everyone agrees on: traffic and congestion. The MMDA has advised the public to expect heavier traffic in the coming days due to the nearing Christmas season and the upcoming SEA Games. Sen. Franklin Drilon on Tuesday called the "Build, Build, Build" program a “dismal failure” because only nine out of the 75 flagship infrastructure projects under it have began construction.
