Upshot
By Bernardo V. Lopez
Bayani Fernando, chairman of the Metro Manila Development Authority, is the engineer-wannabe who designed the expensive Kalayaan elevated U-turn that is now being built.
Engineers I interviewed have termed it "Jurassic," "irreversible," and "defying international standards of traffic and safety."
The core problem lies in Bayani’s perception that he is infallible; criticisms against him are simply ignored. His bullheadedness is the issue. The Kalayaan project reflects not only a first-class engineering blunder, but also bad governance. The senior transportation engineers I interviewed have been building interchanges for decades.
