Christmas na naman, at naalala ba ninyo ang flipflop ni Meyor noong nakaraang taon?

Sabay-sabay tayong kumanta: “Let it snow…let it snow…let it snow.”

Idagdag na rin natin na ang prospective partner niya sa Snow Venture ay mga Koreano.

Yes, Bill, SIMPLE LANG…bilangin ang flip-flops ni Bautista!

Keep on the look out for more anomalies Bill and Baguio Insider then let us know about it.

And between him and Weygan, mas maniniwala ako kay Weygan. Thanks for alerting us on those things to watch para tignan talaga natin. That collapsible parking is interesting. Thanks.<br/><br/>Hi Anonymous,<br/>Hehe, ganoon ba? Didn't know he has a history of playing it safe. Di mas exciting pala ang pag-monitor natin sa kanyang administration to see the flip-flops. Thanks. Hi Baguio Insider,

Hi Anonymous,
Hehe, ganoon ba? Didn’t know he has a history of playing it safe. Di mas exciting pala ang pag-monitor natin sa kanyang administration to see the flip-flops. Thanks.

Look at his record, always ---as Lisa puts it----"washing his hands off".

What about the Jadewell issue--didn't Peter distance himself from Mayor Yaranon who relentlessy pursued the case? But in the end, when it was clear Jadewell was on its way out and Mayor Yaranon conveniently eased off the mayorship, here comes Mayor Goody-Goody Peter passing off the Jadewell victory has his. Hmmmmm. At the height of the Baguio Basura issue, what did he do? Fly to the US and Canada. Sabagay, he could say that his trip was productive and is back in Baguio with an idea from Canada to solve the garbage woes: http://newsinfo.inquirer.net/breakingnews/regions/view_article.php?article_id=103458. Hay naku, doesn't he realize he can't just borrow an idea that works elsewhere and expect it to work in Baguio? There are demographics and attitudes to deal with. Why doesn't he let his University of Baguio be the venue of a pilot project (para naman mas may katuturan ang mga researches nila sa UB) to see if this borrowed idea works, before implementing it large-scale? DAPAT kasi 'yun ang ginawa nila muna even before implementing that city-wide garbage segregation scheme. As for the councilors' CAR PLAN, pautangan na lang kaya sila ng UB? O, additional business pa yan para sa mga Bautista. “Dude, what kind of silliness is behind that “I’m vetoing it because the term used is technically not correct” thing?

Methinks Bautista is just washing his hands off the whole situation, insisting ‘he could not have been party to it because he was abroad’ while Weygan insists that he knew about it all along, hence the P4.6M allocation for Bautista’s vehicles.

That his veto was forthcoming because of the furor on- and offline, merely for political survival was predicted.

Now, if we had only raised a similar hue and cry over Domogan’s flyover! We wouldn’t be stuck with that wretched sight.

Things to watch:
1. Rodez’s proposal for a market at Burnham Park.
2. Farinas’ ‘development’ of Botanical Garden.
3. Farinas’ satellite markets (‘talipapas’)
4. Php400M landscaping and tree-planting for Burnham Park with a few offices for park personnel.
5. Bautista’s Php12M ‘collapsible’ parking building on Burnham Park (er, why do they not require the large schools to build parking building themselves since these are the main sources of human and vehicular traffic in the CBD for students, professors and staff?)
6. Bautista’s badly-implemented and intented ‘No Segregation-No Collection’ garbage policy that was timed suspiciously with his declaration of a shift of focus from tourism to ‘education.’

Actually, these are larger concerns that actually affect EVERY Baguio resident and visitor compared to the greedy move of the councilors to issue themselves cars.

Baguio, gising!
