Sometimes, car riders think they have better rights than pedestrians – that they have always the right of way.  I have seen drivers rushing as if to run over those on the zebra lane – as if those crossing the zebra lane have to give way to the driver of an incoming car. There are also drivers who would drive on the zebra lane on an intersection when that lane is reserved for pedestrians.  In Germany, they don’t have any speed limit but drivers would always allow pedestrians to cross first rather than try to outspeed them. Drivers should understand that what they are driving is just a machine and people are more important than machines. When I am on the street, I would always tapped on cars whose drivers think they have better rights than pedestrians especially those who would place their cars exactly on the zebra lane.  Unfortunately, they don’t want to get out of their cars. In fact, I would like to encourage all pedestrians to bang or tap on those cars whose drivers think they have to be ahead of those crossing the zebra lane or drivers who would honk their cars on pedestrians crossing the street. That is to remind them that there can never be any class distinction on the street – that a Volvo or a BMW driver do not have more rights than the ordinary pedestrian and the pedestrian should never be treated like a pest that has to be shooed away.

Cultural differences between the rest of the civilized world and the Filipinos, when one culture thinks tapping on a car is just to get an attention while the other justifies killing a human being  for that tap. Indeed it is, one is a rampant criminal culture that will kill for a gesture and the other is a more human and civilized culture that interprets a tap in the car as a minor act of getting their attention. What is disturbing is that these young men thinks that killing somebody is something that they will be able to get away with. Another Philippine culture, a culture of impunity for those who have wealth and believes that they can get away with murder. That is the product of a different set of justices for the poor and the rich, a social injustice that is the best recruiter for the NPA and other terrorist organization that plagues the country.
