MANILA — For Caloocan Rep. Edgar Erice, television broadcaster Ted Failon should become the traffic czar of Metro Manila.
In a text message to the Philippine Daily Inquirer on Thursday, Erice said that he sees Failon to be knowledgeable of the country’s traffic problems.
“Mr. Failon knows the problems and has been articulating sound solutions to our annoying traffic problem.
Failon is exposed to the problems, knows the stakeholders and familiar with government procedures,” said Erice, a member of the Liberal Party (LP).
Erice said he was urging President Aquino to appoint Failon in the position.
He added that the Failon could rally motorists in cooperation to solve the country’s traffic problems.
“Ted is perfect. He can rally the motorists to cooperate and follow traffic rules,” he added.
