Manila Mayor Joseph Estrada governed well when he ordered a truck ban in Manila amid the traffic chaos that inconvenienced students and resulted in so many man-hours lost.
Truck drivers were virtually bulldozing their way to the Port of Manila with impunity to load and unload cargoes. Their sheer number has often caused a gridlock in the capital city.

Truck ban, pests threaten Philippine exports in 2nd half of 2014
MANILA, July 10 (Xinhua) -- The truck ban imposed by the Manila city government would make it difficult for Philippine exports to grow by at least 10 percent in the second half of the year, experts said Thursday.
The National Economic Development Authority (NEDA) also warned that a prolonged dry spell coupled with the spread of coconut scale insects could slow down shipments of agro-based products in the July to December period.

UNLESS President Aquino intervenes, a crisis involving empty container vans could reach its tipping point very soon, and this could hurt the Philippine economy. This fear was raised after the Manila International Container Terminal (MICT) issued a circular stating that it would no longer accept “empty containers for export, due to yard utilization reaching 100 percent.” That circular took effect at the close of business hours on July 8.

MANILA, Philippines–Consumers and businesses could feel within three months the full repercussions of the truck ban in Manila and the implementation of an order raising fines for colorum or unauthorized trucks, the head of the Confederation of Truckers Association of the Philippines (CTAP) said on Monday.
CTAP president Ruperto Bayocot said the two measures would further raise the prices of consumer goods, make it harder for importers to secure their raw materials, and increase the rates of both shipping lines and trucking companies.
