Comment from a reader:
When Kalaklan bridge was closed for one year during construction of new bridge, SBMA decided to open up passage through Kalayaan subdivision. We were told this was temporary untill the new bridge will open. As of Sept 2011 the passage for anyone is still open, there are some signs that you can not enter east+west Kalayaan, but no guards or checks. I think this contradict the subdivision policy, as since 1993 access to Kalayaan have been restricted to residents here. Today there are at times heavy traffic and very noicy and polluting for residents especially near main roads. Also there are signs in gates that smokebelchers are not allowed, but no actual checks of same, same for motorbikes without silencers.
This is also a security matter when 5 times as many cars enter the subdivision.
[The Subic Bulletin] Yesterday we observed convoys of pickups passing through the subdivision with workers loaded in the back. At the checkpoint no ID's were asked for. Whats to stop these vehicles passing through loaded with undocumented workers stopping off in the subdivision?
As of this date, traffic seems to be increasing in Kalayaan. My children cannot walk to Casa Kalayaan school because it's so dangerous to cross the highway due to speeding trucks and cars and motorcycles. The silly new rule where no id no entry is the policy for late night is a joke also since I routinely enter late night and never get an ID check. Also what is to prevent thieves from "hanging out" prior to the curfew... and then being picked up "after" the curfew by their cohorts? Security is so bad, I am considering moving to Binictican.
