The struggle is real when it comes to commuting in the Philippines.
Even if you are just visiting the city for a few days, you will most likely be bound to experience the difficult life of a commuter. Instead of getting even more annoyed, Filipinos go creative and come up with #hugot lines, relating the traffic situation with their love lives. Because, really, there is nothing else anyone can do but wait…in life and in love.

Just like love, it is important that you know where your limits are.
Except sometimes in the jeepney…or in love.
You can choose where to sit but you can’t choose who sits beside you. In the same way that you can’t really choose who tumbles into your life.
You just don’t have control over who stays and goes.
…to get to the train or the girl that you like, someone else will get there first.
…on the jeep (or on someone) when there’s simply no room left for you.
You might want to step on the gas already and move forward.
…and in going out, in general; because who knows someone else might just take notice of your valuables.
