"FORWARD MARCH"Jaywalking has been always been a problem in urban cities like Manila. You may call it a way and 'walk' of life of most Filipinos who defied simple sign as "No Pedestrian Crossing Allowed" and risking their limbs, arms and possibly their life.
In 1965, then Manila Mayor Antonio Villegas waged a campaign against jaywalkers to restore order in main city streets.

Jolly jaywalkers are here to stay,Eric, kasama na tayo paminsan-minsan, hehehe!
I was once apprehended by the policeman when I crossed in the street of Manila. I was still in college then, and your post reminded me of the past. Anyway, pinaglinis lang naman kami ng mga kasama kong jaywalkers sa Camp Panopio noon he-he.
