No light at the end of the tunnel

THE tunnel under Jones Bridge in Manila’s Santa Cruz district sums up the government’s absolute neglect of commuters.

It has not been passable since cement was invented, with jeepneys crossing Recto Avenue Santa Cruz or Quiapo district and going to the South Harbor (Pier) having to take the bridge itself on their way to Aduana in the city’s Intramuros district--when the tunnel was precisely constructed to shorten the distance between two points.
