Gates to the hell of cancer

The horrendous traffic in Metropolitan Manila doesn’t only result in huge economic costs, estimated by one study to amount to a horrifying P2.5 billion per day. It doesn’t only make the quality of life of ordinary Filipinos a purgatory on earth, as they wait for hours every working day to get into a jeepney or a bus and then for these vehicles to traverse the traffic.

The pollution from the traffic generated by a hundred thousand vehicles is hell on earth for any human being: cancer, particularly breast cancer, the incidence of which may actually be on a nearly pandemic level in the metropolis.
