Michael Fajatin is a TV reporter of GMA-7, here’s his report on a protest rally held in Mendiola:
Igan, pasado alas otso ng tahimik na magdisperse ang mga rallyisata sa San Sebastian.
Ngunit, matapos ang ilang negosasyon,
itoy matapos na ….
nag disperse sila,
Pagkatapos nito, ah….
Hindi na sila nagaway…
Nagaway na sila sa simula,
Pagkatpos nitoy, nagkaroon sila ng AHHHH….
Pagaaway na sa simula!
Congrats to our kailiyans Jennifer Lagilag and Benjie Rivera for bagging medals during the 9th International Wushu Championships in China. Lagilag won a silver medal while Rivera got a bronze.
This is a very large city… [which measures] 49 square kilometers. When we campaigned [during the May 14 elections], we were not able to visit all [villages of] the city.
Wow. I never thought someone would come up with this lame defense. What parallel universe are we living in these days such that, all of a sudden, 49 square kilometers is now “very large”?
Thanks to Anonymous 2:52 for pointing out this news report which presents the Baguio City councilors’ side of the story. I maintain that there are more important things to spend the money on but, as wisely pointed out by Anonymous, let us look at all sides of the matter.
I’m not sure though if this report puts the councilors in a better light. “Let us think out of the box,” says one of them. Really? A government official using public funds to buy a car for him/her to use is sonot thinking out of the box. Just about every public official who thinks s/he can get away with it, does it. Thinking out of the box would be advocating for the pedestrianization of Baguio.
