Yes, my words are usually strong, online and offline. I am filled with exclamation points, too!

But it will also serve to wake people up. A foreigner commented once how they like to take photos of beautiful landmarks, Filipinos like to take photos of squatter areas and squalor. Maybe because they have the will to eradicate poverty and will not tolerate squalor. Apparently the folks living in Baguio can! For it is they who dump the garbage all around instead of working to control the garbage. Welcome to reality web! Hi Bantay Busol,

Alas, a lot of the folks here today never even knew Baguio during the glory days -- and those of us who have watched it transform (all man-made ugliness, by the way) are in complete pain... But all is not lost. We start with the individual residents -- ask them to maintain a nice garden, to protest any proposed flyovers, the cutting of trees. We have to make each Filipino understand that wealth comes from the earth, that we can find the deepest good in our core and radiate. No running for mayor for me -- but any mayor can have my services for free. Hi Atomic Sushi,

I really wish Baguio City would return to its glory days. Call me an American dog (tuta ng mga Kano) but I think the presence of the Americans gave Baguio City its charm. When they left, all hell broke lose. Several renovations later, it got worse.:( Hey Lisa, if you run for the mayor of Baguio City, I’d vote for you!:) Fantastic website you have here; very informative and honest.

So maybe the key here is to stop expecting and just doin some rapid prototyping (i.e. JUST DO IT) of what we want to happen, and feel empowered even as ordinary individuals. Pao, you're oh so right! "Siguro lang as ordinary citizens we should also do our part to be vigilant about everything around, about the government, the employees in the government, and other authorities as well." Camera phones are our best weapons at this point -- document everything that happens, post it on blogs, write to the mayor, send it to Mission TV, make noise, reclaim our city! I agree that those were crimes and that our police force though relatively honest is too afraid to enforce the laws without fear or favor -- I've had my share of incidents robberies, thefts, serious physical injuries (the latter when I would escort my young college friends who are involved in brawls as the adult companion) and the cops will always say, There's not enough room in our jails. Solution: Build bigger jails, wouldn't you say? Hi Mr. Baguio,

We reported everything to the police pero the police said "gawa na lang po kayo ng sarili nyong imbistigasyon". A week ago I saw two teen age boys having shabu session in a vacant lot near UC Lab, again I went to the nearest police station to report the incident, but they asked me to go to Station 1 instead there were three of them one of them hid the bottle of blue gin and the other police tried to entertain me pero sa amoy pala I know they're drunk, so I told them na "it is still too early to do some drinking spree and nakaunipormne pa kayo sir..." the three of them stood up and inquired more on the incident. Siguro lang as ordinary citizens we should also do our part to be vigilant about everything around, about the government, the employees in the government, and other authorities as well. We can consider the two incident as crimes pero no one got interested in trying to help us solve that crime, illegal vending pa kaya. Yes they confiscate the goods of illegal vendors still they'll return it back after paying P1,000.00.The question is where is the money? But no one bothered to ask someone where did the money go.
