Steering Wheel is a commentary from Anthony Cuaycong, publisher of Context.ph and a longtime motorist who believes cars are meant to get us somewhere, although getting there is often the most complicated part. He follows cars, roads, traffic, technology, and the peculiar habits of people behind the wheel. His views are entirely his own, including the ones formed while looking for parking.

We have basketball at home

Life Sport Anthony Cuaycong Anthony Cuaycong -
Filipinos have never really needed an invitation to love basketball. Give us a hoop, a ball, and approximately four square meters of concrete and we will figure out the rest. There is no requirement for proper flooring, air-conditioning, seating, parking, or even a complete understanding of the rules. Someone will keep score. Someone will call a phantom foul. Someone will bend the rules to ridiculous proportions in plain sight. So when the National Basketball Association brought basketball to the Philippines once again, nobody complained. After all, Filipinos have been quite willing to make room for basketball for decades. We simply cleared a little more space.

The great Philippine parking expedition

Mobility Anthony Cuaycong Anthony Cuaycong -
There are two kinds of Filipino motorists: those looking for a parking space and those who have already found one and are determined not to tell you where it is. Parking has become one of the more demanding sports in modern Philippine life. It requires patience, spatial awareness, quick reflexes, and, occasionally, the ability to stare at another motorist for several seconds without saying anything that could get you into trouble.
