Filipinos have this nasty habit of using the road as an extension of the sidewalk.
This pic was taken near the Sucat Road-President's Avenue intersection in Paranaque last September 8 (sorry for the late post). I know that most people do this primarily for convenience. Either the designated loading or unloading zone is too far a walk, or the sidewalk is just too crowded with people or sidewalk vendors and their stalls and wares, or there's just too much debris from unfinished construction projects or informal garbage dumps.

But, hey, suck it up! Filipinos need to start learning to sacrifice a little convenience for the better good. Start walking (exercise is good for you, anyway), bear with the crowds, move your stalls to the proper locations, and start cleaning up properly.
