As only a five year resident I would like to comment on pollution, be it road transport or other.

First of all, yes there does appear to be more Jeepney traffic in Olongapo but also more private vehicles, as well as tricycles all combining to create chaos.

Parking:
Why not utilise some of the vacant lots around town as parking spaces and share proceeds with the owner. Provision of off-road parking will help de-clog the roads. Or totally ban parking on main thoroughfares or introduce parking meters with strict time limits. The revenue generated should cover cost of additional manpower required.

Habor pollution.
Over the past five years I have noticed a gradual increase in pollution of our beautiful harbor and am very concerned that the rapid increase in buildings will cause increased pollution unless strict control of effluent is imposed.

Keep up the good work.
