On February 19, 2008, three (3) days after the 3rd fire in 19 years destroyed 3 buildings at the University of Baguio compound, The Baguio Fire Department, in a news statement:
I just read this obscure ALARMING article in the local new from Sunstar Baguio, which I am reproducing in toto:
Public works office asked to turn over flyovers
BELIEVING that the City Government could better monitor traffic flow and the structural soundness of the city’s two flyovers, Vice Mayor Daniel Fariñas said the administration of these flyovers should be turned over to the City Government.
Last year, I decided, for the first time to try and remember all that happened from my point of view in the first show of People Power in the Philippines.
I know, I know, I am prolific today, this being my third post, as I wait to leave for Manila, to attend my paternal grandmother’s 96th birthday party tonight.
My grandma’s being “alive and kicking” at 100 years minus four is something to ponder. Of course her being in full possession of her faculties is simply phenomenal! Ok, maybe a little deaf but too vain to wear her hearing aid. A little blind, too, but there’s no osteoperosis here when she gets up from the wheelchair that tires her less, and stands to her full regal height of 5 feet 8 inches (what if she was really 5′11” and shrank?).
