NLEX opening eagerly awaited; Toyota award.
(From Philippine Daily Inquirer)
Byline: Al Mendoza
THE AIR is now wafting with Christmas carols. The Birth is just around the corner, so to speak. By the time it comes, it is hoped that the new North Luzon Expressway (NLEX) is fully operational. Meaning, the best expressway this side of the globe is finally totally opened.
As early as October, Ping de Jesus, the heart and soul of the expansion project of the NLEX, had said the gateway to the north was 92 percent done. That was two months ago. Our workers are now known worldwide as the most efficient that's why they're very much in demand in many countries.
With maybe only a little kink here and a little crease there, there wouldn't be much bother anymore for all of us motorists using the NLEX as we drive to the home of our youth where we will celebrate the apex of the season in the company of our loved ones-our roots-in the country. There is no better way to share the joy of the Birth of our Savior but to be with the closest relatives, renewing ties, reliving only the good memories, forgiving and forgetting whatever mistakes, sins, that came during the year. If the healing process should begin, it must be now.
