I dont know if my fellow istoryans have heard about this. I came across the news over the TV last tuesday but i read about it again today.

So as the title goes, indeed this senator wants to ban cars which are 2008 and below.

Whats your opinion on this issue? I know Cebu enjoys a very colorful and vibrant car culture and i'd hate it if it goes away. I enjoy looking at and actually owning a classic car so if this bill passes does it mean the only place for my car is my garage?

dapat ang ila e-ban kay kanang unroadworthy na cars... then if ma abirya ka sa road naa kay fine... kay samok kaau ng mag ali sa high way kay na abirya or na platan.. dapat mag pa daplin jud ka...

[bearish]

for sure dili na makapasar na bill. that's descrimination.

2008?..... We've got vehicles from the early 80's here and sellers still demand unrealistic prices for them!

2008 is way too ambitious and smacks of elitism.

kanang mga public transpo, mga jeep and buses

[ocelot]

usaon nalang tong 5-6 years to pay sa sakyanan? wa pa gani ma impas dili na kadagan? hehe

mga jeep/bus, daghan sad ma tangtang.

unya, unsaon man pagdispose anang mga cars na di na pwede maka biyahe?

I'm kinda in favor with this. It would certainly decongest the roads and would reduce air pollution. Wala nanang mga jeep nga grabe kaayog aso sa tambocho. And it would also reduce car accidents kay panagsa nalang nang mga sakyanan nga mawalaan ug brakes etc.

The only problem with this is maka kaya ba ta ani. This would mean that we would have to constantly sell our old cars and buy new ones. And not to mention one of my family's businesses involves selling 2nd hand cars, it would be a huge blow to us. But..... whatever is better for the country.

kasaya ani oi...1990's pa rba 2 ang truck sa amoa silingan..patay mahimo ni ug tansan sa jazz or sparkle..nyahahaha!

Bottomline is we're just not ready for this. 2008 is way too much. I like the idea but it's not realistic with our current economy. Majority if not all of us here cannot afford to buy a new car every what.. 4 years? It's too much. Swerte naman gani nang makapalit kag Brand new nga sakyanan.. grabe nang tigom nimo ana... unless you're a Bishop though .

2008? Grabeha pod ana. Pila na lang kaha'y sakyanan managan sa kadalanan ana. Daghan pa mang sakyanan nga more than 5 years old na pero kondisyon pa gihapon.
