Kaban ni D_BystandeR: ANG LANTIP NGA PANGHUNAHUNA NI TOMMY O

I always give importance and special consideration to the opinion of Tommy O because he always comes out with a proposal that is backed-up by research and well thought-of study of the subject. He favored "building a storm water underpass in south Cebu City as it would be easier to do than widening N. Bacalso Avenue to a six-lane highway that includes the tunnel."

And Tommy was happy that his successor Rep. Rodrigo Abellanosa is pursuing "SMART Tunnel" concept which Osmena had mentioned before to address floods in the south district during his tenure as congressman. He averred that the main problem with expanding N. Bacalso to a six-lane by DPWH is that road right-of-way acquisition is too expensive and DPWH has no money for that.
