Pink urinals on Edsa to provide relief for men
By On-line staff
Posted : 6/9/2003
Many Filipino men have a nasty habit of urinating on walls, posts and corners like dogs. Certainly, this habit, like spitting anywhere, should be discouraged. And to help uphold not only a visually appealing metropolis but also one that’s tamed in scent, the Metropolitan Manila Development Authority (MMDA) has set up pink urinals along the stretch of Edsa.
Patterned after the urinals designed for the sidewalks and other public places in Marikina City, the MMDA has installed the same urinals to discourage men from peeing on the streets and sidewalks.
The urinals are walled by a pink metal sheet like a horse’s shoe and inside, a drainage pipe sticks out to provide relief for men called by nature while on the road.
These pink urinals are free of charge unlike the public pay toilets sprayed on the various islands of Edsa. The MMDA are highly encouraging all men out there to use these urinals instead and not be bothered by its pink color, which apparently, has an adverse effect on the Filipino men’s machismo.
