As you may have already heard, one of the world’s most significant economic forums, the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) summit, is being held here in our beloved country, and is finally commencing today after more than a year of preparation. Twenty-one heads of state from the United States, Canada, and Japan, just to name a few, are all here to take part of this global summit and discuss about the world’s current economic progress. While this event may be very beneficial for the Philippines\u00a0as this year’s host, it also\u00a0entails a little (or a lot) of hassle for the everyday commuters and motorists like us. Yes, this week-long event also means road blocks and re-routing schemes to make way for APEC delegates and dignitaries, or simply put, week-long extra extra traffic! How are we going to make it to the office on time? The\u00a0Metropolitan Manila Development Authority (MMDA) has already released public infographics and traffic schemes two weeks ago for us to know which roads to avoid for the whole duration of the event, and hopefully, arrive\u00a0at the office without breaking a sweat. Here’s a hint: it involves EDSA and Pasay.<\/p>\n
