MANILA - The Quezon City government has literally been hitting at least "two or more birds with one stone" through the "Libreng Sakay" (free ride) program which it launched a year ago on Tuesday. Aside from providing free bus rides to daily commuters along several major routes throughout the city, the city government under Mayor Joy G. Belmonte is also promoting the numerous historical and tourist sites found in its six congressional districts composed of 142 barangays. The officials of the QC Bus Augmentation Program (QCBAP) and the City's Parks and Administration Department have teamed up to install replicas of the city's several historical landmarks, monuments, and tourist spots on both sides of the buses participating in the program. In addition, they have used the space at the back of the bus to convey a message of gratitude to the residents for being partners of the local government in the continuing growth of the country's erstwhile capital city:

Metro Manila (CNN Philippines, May 24) Conglomerate San Miguel Corp. said on Monday it opened the southbound Quirino exit of the Skyway Stage 3 elevated expressway to Class-1 vehicles.
In a statement, the company said the motoring public coming from Balitantawak and Quezon Ave. can now reach Manila in 20 minutes, compared to 1.5 hours using the major streets. The opening of the Quirino southbound exit will greatly improve accessibility from Quezon City and Manila. With more private vehicles diverted to Skyway Stage 3 on their way back from NLEX, or coming from Quezon Ave., to Manila, traffic on our major public roads as well as on streets usually utilized as short cuts or alternate routes , will be a thing of the past, SMC president and CEO Ramon S. Ang said in the statement.
