The low hanging electric lines which are strung all over the country are a very grave problem. Couple these low hanging lines with over stacked trucks and tragedy is just waiting happen.
Take this situation for instance.
There is so much wrong happening in these pictures. First of all the truck should not be this full. Who wants to be driving along and all of a sudden have a bag of garbage crash through their windshield or have to dodge falling bags which will inevitably cause a wreck? Don't they have proscribed limits? Aren't they required to empty the truck when it gets to a certain level?
Second of all having these men ride on the top of this garbage truck is dangerous. Hanging on the the side is precarious enough and in saner countries only done for short distances but these guys are riding on the top of the garbage all throughout their shift.
Third, one wrong move and this guy is toast! Zapped! Like a bug. It's dangerous and ridiculous. Does he even recognise the danger he is in?
Everyone wants to be seen as tough on crime but what the Philippines needs is a leader who will be tough on low hanging power lines among other things.
