What’s hot and what’s not in cool, cool Baguio City Philippines
In the news is good news. The city has enacted a law that will impose fines on smoke belchers, according to this news report:
“Once approved, all vehicles, whether public, private, found violating the emission standards set forth in this ordinance, shall be prohibited from plying within the territorial jurisdiction of the city of Baguio at all times,” (City Councilor Erdolfo) Balajadia said.
During the Baguio PAGASA Workshops, Mahatma Gandhi’s message “Become the Change You Want to See in the World” is explained to us very well. And we learn that all our actions are ripples of energy that can actually cause a tidal wave of change.
A old friend of mine, Martin R., at a chance meeting in Camp John Hay a few years ago, once remarked that their company, Benguet Corporation, had a solution to the water shortage in Baguio City, but that the city was unwilling. He would not say why.
I asked him then where they would get the water, and he said that the dried up mines now serve as reservoirs so they did have the water and were hoping to put a pipeline to Baguio.
