<div class="copy-paste-block" style="text-align: justify;">
Heads up! The MMDA announced that the Inter-Agency Council on Traffic or IACT has 
decided to enforce the removal of the “window hours” rule of the number 
coding scheme on October 17, two weeks earlier than the set October 
31 schedule.<br /><br /><div class="copy-paste-block">
Tim Orbos, the MMDA General 
Manager, said that the dry run to test the no “window hours” rule from 10 am 
to 3 pm will be implemented today until Friday this week.<br />
<br />

During the three-day dry run, Highway Patrol Group and MMDA 
traffic enforcers manning roads will be conducting an information campaign. 
They will not be issuing any traffic violation tickets on violators but will only 
be reminding them of the rule.<br />
<br />

Aside from Epifanio Delos Santos Avenue (Edsa) and C5, the 
rule will be expanded to other areas, including Alabang-Zapote Road, 
Roxas Boulevard and whole Mandaluyong City. Cities of the Makati and Las
 Pinas do not implement window hours.<br />
<br />

“The earlier enforcement of the rule was based on the 
request of the IACT to reduce vehicular traffic as Christmas nears. This
 is for the immediate effect of the reduction as traffic is foreseen to 
worsen toward Christmas,” said Orbos.<br />
<span></span><br /><span></span></div>
<div class="copy-paste-block">
The IACT shall assess the 
impact of this specific measure and determine whether it created a positive impact
 in alleviating traffic congestion in Metro Manila.<br />
<br />

The assessment will then be submitted to the Metro Manila 
Council, composed of Metro Manila mayors, who can finally decide if the measure 
will be implemented permanently.<br />
<br />

“If it’s effective, it will be decided by the council,” said Orbos.<br />
<br />

Under the current number coding scheme, vehicles are banned from 
major roads from 7 AM to 7 PM except during the 10 AM to 3 PM window 
hours.<br />
<br />

Under this traffic system, vehicles with plate numbers ending
 in 1 and 2 are not allowed outside on Mondays, 3 and 4 on Tuesdays, 5 
and 6 on Wednesdays, 7 and 8 on Thursdays and 9 and 0 on Fridays respectively.<br />
<br />
Let's all hope for the best and that the heavy traffic plaguing the metro will at least lessen if not totally eradicated.<br />

The affected streets include:</div>
<ul style="text-align: justify;">

<li>Intersection of Elisco Road, M. Concepcion St., and R. Jabson St.</li>

Affected motorists are advised to take alternate routes.<br />

coding’ scheme, with window hours from 9:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m.<br />
<br />

The UVVRP is a traffic decongestion measure which bans both private 
and public utility vehicles from plying Metro Manila’s roads on weekday 
peak hours.<br />

I was the resident bookworm of the family up to this day and the National Library was a favorite hangout of mine back in college. When I majored in Computer Science, the course was pretty new in the country and was only on its second year. You couldn't Google a question, Yahoo reigned and the iPad wasn't invented yet. Students still had to rely on good old trusty books, yes, not eBooks, for reading and research materials. If you're a millennial then a library card wouldn't ring a bell to you, but it was essential to students back my day.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

August indeed is a great month for book lovers, as if the annual <a href="https://www.stretchyourpeso.com/2016/07/books-for-less-warehouse-sale-2016.html">Books For Less warehouse sale</a> isn't enough, an announcement from the National Library of the Philippines through their official <a href="http://www.facebook.com/NationalLibraryofthePhilippines/photos/a.257480891124072.1073741828.252748414930653/529189223953236/?type=3&theater" rel="nofollow">Facebook page</a> just made it even better! As of August 16, the public can now have access to their favorite books and reading materials available at the National Library of the Philippines for free.<br />

The library has retained a few ground rules, though, like the books being strictly for 
room-use only and photocopying is allowed only for certain pages. The 
public is not allowed to take photos of some materials, such as theses. 
Smoking, eating, and drinking are prohibited for obvious reasons.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
One cool addition to my favorite reading spot, that I recently found out as well, is that the east wing of the library's second floor has free Wi-Fi. </div>

<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The National Library of the Philippines is still undergoing construction, which only means that we are in for more changes in the future. By the way, for those of you who don't know, the library is located at T.M Kalaw St. Ermita, Manila. It's near the university Anne and I went to, that's why I frequently visited and did most of my homework that needed research there.<br />
<br />
I don't know about you guys, but a trip to the National Library sounds great right now. Can't wait to bring my kids there as well and show them how research was done without the internet.</div>
