Solving the Garbage Problem

Renie Paoayan wrote his suggestions on the city’s trash collection issues in Garbage Fees Hiked 1000% and submitted them in the comments section therein. I have reproduced his comment in toto here instead (note that I edited it only to put bullet points for emphasis and easier reading) because his thoughts might just go unnoticed as a lengthy comment in an archived post. Because with the local government’s failure (is it inability or is it refusal?) to collect our garbage, what is being attacked is not only our health, our income as a tourist destination but also the spirit of the people of Baguio.

Losing the “Moment” and Finding It Again

I just re-read A Whole New Look Into the Garbage Crisis and did not like the writer. Her post was full of sarcasm, arrogance even, scoffing at government officials and pointing out and underscoring that their capacity to lead is limited by their imagination, censuring residents for their frugality, too. She should have rewritten the article, [...]

Never again! All Filipinos, especially Baguio residents, should never allow anyone, for the sake of ‘development’ to tear down beautiful structures like the Camp John Hay Main Club. The same goes for decades-old pine trees. Almost 1000 are in danger — GSIS lot (500 trees), Moog Controls Corporation expansion (234 trees), Ayala development plus new [...]
