SUV crushed by falling concrete from Skyway in Parañaque
(FILE) Traffic flows moderately despite the heavy volume of vehicles on Monday, 13 May. Traffic congestion at tollways, particularly at the Skyway and Ninoy Aquino International Airport Expressway, is attributed to cash payments and insufficient balances in RFID accounts, affecting 15 percent of transactions from 1 to 7 May.
