This just in today. One of my guests alerted me to a report at the Philippine Daily Inquirer headlined:
MORE FLYOVERS SEEN IN BAGUIO CITY
Chi alerted us to the most recent issue of the city council voting to use public funds to issue themselves cars. By the way, we noticed she has switched from Chi from the Coooooool Clouds to Chi from the ‘Hot’ Clouds when commenting, and understandably so. Here’s the news link and there are animated discussions in two wonderful and influential blogs: Bill Bilig’s From the Boondocks and Jack Carino’s where you can head on over and vent, if you wish.
I am only going to join in as far as commenting in these gentlemen’s blogs, and chronicling here how these greedy people voted. Of course, with all the furor this recent move has made, “Mr. Clean” Peter Rey Bautista, who was not party to the shenanigans present during the deliberations is expected to veto it if just for his own (political) good, upon his return from China.

Quote #1″Let’s face it. Much money has been invested (for the project) and removing it would be impractical.” Fariñas, appealing to the various sectors to just consider the benefits the flyover would give to the city like traffic relief in the area.
Let’s face it, there was no traffic in that area until they started building the stupid flyover! Much money was wasted on an unnecessary, ugly, impractical structure that arose from the figment of someone’s imagination on how to make massive money from the project.
If there was truly traffic congestion in the area, Domogan and Vergara could have first tried an effing stoplight before wasting a hundred million on a few meters of a concrete monstrosity.
