NLEX shock

Henry, the kids and I visited my mom last Saturday (Feb 27). This was the first time we travelled NLEX after they implemented the toll fee hike. Super shocked kami! We never though that the hike was that much. Upon entry to the highway, we paid Php42 to the teller. Although it's a bit high from the Php7.50 we used to pay, to me that was tolerable. Upon reaching Sta. Rita exit, we were asked to pay another P36. Now that is too much. It's extortion! Yes, the road is smoother and wider now but my pocket says it's not fair. How on earth can the Mang Pandoy afford that? (well, h cannot afford a car in the first place). If you commute everyday, that would be additional Php141 (Sta.Rita-Balintawak). This morning, another round of fuel hike was announced. Haaayyy buhaaayyyy....
