Baguio... having a face lift.

Yup! Face lift that is....

New sidewalks for Session Road (hmmm, it reminds me of place in Baguio too, oh, it's UPB's gale), renovating (just for the lack of a better term) Burnham's Children Park, City Hall with its supposedly pre-war feel? what?, tarpaulin with butterflies on it (hehe, the centennial logo), and some Centennial Commission tuck within the cold walls of the biggest edifice north of Manila. 

Oh shouldn't we forget more squatters around town and once picturesque barangays, more dog poop, more garbage, more rude vendors on the streets, more flyovers (one more is planned in Bokawkan... shish.), more people who cannot understand that littering was once a mortal sin in Baguio (yup, people would throw back the garbage to you), more rude drivers especially taxi and sorry for the anger but trancoville and aurora hill drivers need some spanking and needle pricking to wake up to their senses that the place are not theirs to own. 

hehe. wah, I am in the ranting mode once again but frustration coupled with inaction by concerned people in government makes Baguio a place to be called that-was-the-place-that-I-missed-to-have-been-its-old-glory. hashish.

GUYS WAKE UP, let us do our jobs as citizens, officials and visitors to make Baguio a place to be called home.

I agree that we should celebrate for the coming centennial birthday of this beloved city of mine but problems must be addressed, not only through government action but also by the people's willingness to participate. 

Celebrations are bittersweet when fireworks amaze us above our heads while the land that we stand on is shaking with problems that would be unique in the case of Baguio City.

Hayan, tama na ang bunganga, tara na! hehe.

A symptom of being stuck in Baguio. :p
