EDSA rehabilitation to start on December 24

MANILA, Philippines – The long-delayed rehabilitation of EDSA will begin on Christmas Eve, Wednesday, December 24, after works were stalled earlier this year.

Public Works Secretary Vince Dizon said the project will be completed in eight months, significantly shorter than the earlier two-year timeline.

Reblocking works and asphalt overlay on the busway lanes will be carried out round the clock during the holiday break, from 11 pm on December 24, until 4 am on January 5, 2026.

Metropolitan Manila Development Authority (MMDA) Chairman Don Artes said traffic is expected to be lighter during this period as fewer motorists use EDSA.

After January 5, road works will be scheduled nightly, from 10 pm to 4 am.

Dizon said the rehabilitation will cost P6 billion, far lower than the earlier estimated P17 billion. The Department of Public Works and Highways will use a new asphalt technology called stone mastic asphalt.

The agency said this type of asphalt offers stronger resistance to the elements and heavier loads, improved skid resistance, better protection against water and moisture damage, and a longer maintenance life.

Artes said there will be no changes to the existing number coding scheme. The MMDA had initially proposed an odd-even number coding scheme to address the expected congestion caused by the rehabilitation.

The EDSA rehabilitation was originally set to start on June 13, but President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. ordered its postponement days before the launch, saying a better plan was needed to shorten the repair timeline to six months to a year. – Rappler.com

Michael Saylor Pushes Digital Capital Narrative At Bitcoin Treasuries Unconference

Michael Saylor Pushes Digital Capital Narrative At Bitcoin Treasuries Unconference

The post Michael Saylor Pushes Digital Capital Narrative At Bitcoin Treasuries Unconference appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. The suitcoiners are in town.  From a low-key, circular podium in the middle of a lavish New York City event hall, Strategy executive chairman Michael Saylor took the mic and opened the Bitcoin Treasuries Unconference event. He joked awkwardly about the orange ties, dresses, caps and other merch to the (mostly male) audience of who’s-who in the bitcoin treasury company world.  Once he got onto the regular beat, it was much of the same: calm and relaxed, speaking freely and with confidence, his keynote was heavy on the metaphors and larger historical stories. Treasury companies are like Rockefeller’s Standard Oil in its early years, Michael Saylor said: We’ve just discovered crude oil and now we’re making sense of the myriad ways in which we can use it — the automobile revolution and jet fuel is still well ahead of us.  Established, trillion-dollar companies not using AI because of “security concerns” make them slow and stupid — just like companies and individuals rejecting digital assets now make them poor and weak.  “I’d like to think that we understood our business five years ago; we didn’t.”  We went from a defensive investment into bitcoin, Saylor said, to opportunistic, to strategic, and finally transformational; “only then did we realize that we were different.” Michael Saylor: You Come Into My Financial History House?! Jokes aside, Michael Saylor is very welcome to the warm waters of our financial past. He acquitted himself honorably by invoking the British Consol — though mispronouncing it, and misdating it to the 1780s; Pelham’s consolidation of debts happened in the 1750s and perpetual government debt existed well before then — and comparing it to the gold standard and the future of bitcoin. He’s right that Strategy’s STRC product in many ways imitates the consols; irredeemable, perpetual debt, issued at par, with…
