INTRODUCTION
Most of the people give a very little thought to the roads they drive on every day, and tend to take them for granted until those roads are closed for repairs, washed out in a flood, or in some way rendered impassable.
For so many years, Filipinos enjoyed a wide, extensive, and well-maintained system of roads accessible to everyone especially in the big cities of the country. However, some Filipinos in the mountainous area didn’t get the chance of having these experiences because of different problems such as the difficult terrain and the financial aspect.
In the Philippines during the early part of the 1900, transportations depend largely on trails, waterways, railroad, earth roads and partially graveled roads. Highway in the Philippines is nothing more than a dream to most Filipinos. But fifty years later, major highways and expressways were constructed through the financial assistance and loans from foreign banks.
The year 1960 to early part of 1980 was considered an automobile age. Government new concept of development is to get the farmers out of the mud. It was during this decade that road construction becomes a matter of priority of the government under the slogan: “This nation is on Wheels”.
This study presents the conceptualize perceptions of some Civil Engineering students about the road specifically located in the Arellano Street. This study also includes the technical properties and problems in the road.
This paper also imparts some accepted methods and tools which can be used as a suitable manner for assessment that can be adopted by

It will begin in May 2013 and estimated to be a Php 3.7 billion project with expected 23 months of completion.

    There is so much we take for granted about our roads that causes foreigners to balk up when they first arrive. I had a highly entertaining discussion on the subject a few days ago with U, who is among other things, a foreign semiotician relentless in his attempt to interpret Philippine culture. One of the many things that frazzled him when he first tried driving in Manila was the apparent superfluity of the white stripes on the road. In Italy, he reported, vehicles actually attempted to stay between the white stripes. We all expressed polite surprise and told him the truth: in Manila, the stripes are there to help you drift across the road more effectively, allowing you to gauge the distance between the zero back-log paraphernalia on one side, the bus picking up passengers on the other, and the…

    During the American occupation, Manila seemed to be a much better looking and cleaner city than it is today. One of Manila’s well-known streets, the Escolta, could also be the oldest. It was originally designed by the American to apply the traditional town planning of America like in downtown in New York, to be a business hub of Manila. Detectable by observing the streets, the roads are narrow keeping the flow of automobile slow, parking slots are parallel to the sidewalk allowing the pedestrian to park and to leave quickly. The genius loci of Escolta are to enjoy and use the space in…

    Some 20 years later, the idea of bicycles as a mainstream means of transport resurfaces. When the Philippine government and the World Bank started to prepare an urban transport for Metro Manila, serious discussion of a pilot bikeways project took place. But where to pilot this idea in a metropolis notorious at that time for horrendous traffic jams and poor transport system? One would need a city where the leaders are not only willing to experiment, but also fully committed to make the cycling project work.…
