(SPOT.ph) The holiday season is the best time to commute in Metro Manila. Where else can you see an unending line of red taillights that look like Christmas lights all over EDSA? It's also an opportunity to come up with your long list of New Year's resolutions since you're stuck in traffic for hours anyway. You can expect early Christmas carolers knocking on your car window, and you have no other choice but to listen to their singing because you're not moving.
