For us who kept quiet and cry silently, it is because we cannot write or speak as good as you do and it is not we don't care. The Athletic Bowl Issue made it too much to bear so I joined in and for the first time, I don't mind if I will be called a "radical" or "activist." Thanks to you and to those who made us see what is really happening on our City for the benefits of the few. Enough! God Bless the City of Pines. Can we share this article in our wallposts?

Let us do this for the City and nothing else or we all go down in a landslide of filth. I am ready. Are you? drop everything. Now time to harmonize.

What the hell is that poor excuse for a mayor of Baguio doing? Is this the a compilation of "Bautista's Ugliest Hits"? Hay Apo! Awanen ti fine tree! This is what happens when their is no harmony with the citizens, in the city officials way of thinking. All they ever consider is the "special interest" groups. Let's be honest with the present situation, basta pera "tadan!" city officials (not all) will come crawling out of the woodwork." Mga possessed with the evil spirit of greed tong mga idiota na homo sapiens na ito. Pardon the latin. I yearn for the better and simpler times, but I guess they are for not when these type of people are here and hold all the cards. The casino, the trash problem, and now this?

It is nice to know that you are one of the beacons of hope and have taken the responsibility to shoulder this enormous burden on your back to look out for the best interest of Baguio. I wish you the best of luck and my heart bleeds for Baguio. Hello Lisa,

We have to wake everybody up, and introduce to the them smell the beautiful scent of the pine trees. Hi Ed, I do not know if the people occupying Kayang and all the land behind the Baguio City market have managed to get the propety titled in their name -- this is a huge problem in the city (i.e. everyone getting public land titled in their names). The government it seems WANTS Henry Sy to take over the Baguio Convention Center. There is something so wrong with the minds and the hearts of our local government officials. There's something wrong with a city that keeps electing the greediest people into office. Hi Lalaine,

A beautiful well maintained eco friendly and green market with lots of rooftop trees which is now a world wide trend in building constructions can be a real attraction to local and foreign tourist.These areas I believe are public lands and most of the buildings there are on lease from the government and their lease expired already many years back.So why the city government is not offering this to Henry Sy as an alternative to GSIS propery,if they really want to develop the market area and the whole Baguio downtown which is always on their agenda or is it?. This could be more expensive and laborious process but in the end I believe is a win win solution.
