The park is nice na. Theme park would only keep low income people out and line politicians pockets. I miss Bagio before it got so crowded. I live in a place being over ran by non native people.

Maybe it would be better all of us to ACTIVELY work on cleaning up the city first and making it prettier, before dreaming up of new things.

Why make it to other things that will only make Baguio's pollution worse? Burnham park is the only green space in the CBD, and we all know that baguio is very polluted now.

Hey Marionne, Peter Rey Bautista has given it the thumbs down -- so far. Your ex-boss feels the need for Baguio to have new attractions and I agree, but folks should stop wanting to touch Burnham Park (everybody) or Botanical Garden (Farinas). Coming up, an article on my Baguio Attractions Wish List. Hi Ed,

Hey Marionne,

I am just wondering but I hope really, really, truly, (Lord have mercy) HOPE that they do not make Burnham into a theme park. Oshangnanamet! (Lisa, refer to Nico for translation) Are they blind? That is the only remaining green patch in the central business district. I am stumped by this news. Lis, I forwarded this to Mr. De Leon. I am seething I do not know what to say or write. GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR! If Burnham Park becomes a theme park what it will be called?

I am stumped by this news.

Maybe UB and UC should be require to provide for parking buildings so their teachers, students, staff and owners do not park their vehicles all day on Session, Governor Pack, Harrison, Gen. Luna and Assumption roads. There should also be time limits, not just parking fees. CBD should have the first two hours cheap and all succeeding hours expensive. Jeepneys should always be moving, never stalled or parked to be filled up with passengers. This is how we see that we have an excess of routes and units. They do take up a lot of the parking downtown UNNECESSARILY.
