                     I fell into what used to manhole trap near the water meter.  I injured my shin very badly. The muddy water infected the wound.

 


The sidewalk traps near our house was finally repaired and they the sidewalk colored with red cement.  I fell into one of these manhole traps. I am glad that the huge financial resources of the municipality is put to good use instead of just salaries and ads.

Thanks public works.  Thanks Mayor

A former top LGU officials front tire fell into this space, he fell and broke his leg.  He is now disabled. I wonder why such a hazard has not been removed.

When can we have these hazards removed?

How about these other traps?

These manholes are open, are dangerous and pose serious injury in case of accidents to pedestrians MC and bike riders alike.  This writer has been a victim to one of the manholes.  (The road is near the Provincial Hospital)  While there are alleged budget for more sidewalks, there must be funds to repair these manholes.

In a recent case last week, a rider was seriously injured right next to the provincial hospital.  He was refused treatment at the said hospital owing to the seriousness of the injury.

These accidents are preventable if:
