The actress also questioned why government officials seem to be unaffected about the problem.
“Tapos, walang care yung government? Naglalakad lang ba sila papuntang work? Or nakakalipad sila nang hindi natin alam?”

Yan ang reality natin ngayon. Mejo swerte na yung mastuck tayo sa 3 hrs ng traffic sa comfort ng sasakyan natin, pero mas masaklap yung naghihintay ng masasakyan at naiipit sa PUVs ng 3 hrs or more. Uuwi, gabi na. Matutulog lang tapos bangon na ulit na madilim pa para di ma-late.

The solution to traffic: COLLECTIVE ACTION. Di lang govt. Kasama tayo lahat. Marami satin matigas ang ulo. Let's look at ourselves, and how we can contribute to alleviating the traffic.

Traffic is too much yung 15minutes na biyahe nagiging 30 to 1hr.
Hindi lahat ng nasa government walang care parang sa mamamayan ng bansa hindi lahat may disiplina para sundin yung batas.
Pero napkagandang topic nito, hindi lang napapanahon, dahil matagal ng problema.— Mace (@maceg___) September 26, 2019
Angelica even agreed with a netizen who shared the same stuggle with her.

She then ended her post by impying that we should protest about the current situation and make the right moves as citizens.
“Tao tayo. Mamayanan tayo. Bakit walang choice? Bakit mo tatanggapin ang hindi tama? In this life time Hindi tayo aalma sa traffic?”
