Baguio is located in a Third World and corrupt country. Find me a mayor or crown prince in East Africa, Central and South America or Cambodia, Vietnam and Laos who takes the bus or the train. It’s just an unfair assessment no matter how you look at it.

While some suggestions are quite dandy, let’s all narrow it down to:

8 million to BGH

8 million to improving the city library and buy quality books NOT
photocopied materials

2 million to various legitimate fundraisers including Ramon Dacawi’s

The remaining 2 million or less, have mayor Pete buy his councilors one HORSE each, good for the environment of Baguio and clean air! I’d like to see Perlita and her cohorts visit their constituents on horseback.

Hi Nadjhin,
Lift all you want as long as you credit the commenters Thanks.

Hi Chi,
Really! Wow, didn’t know that Mayor Vergara went to the extent of trying to immortalize himself by putting “Vs” in trash cans. Hope Mayor Bautista will not get the same idea. Thanks.

“Hmmm…why don’t they buy a thousand trashcans that has partitions for segregation where people of Baguio can easily segregate their wastes…that way, our streets would be free of those piles of uncollected trash…”

My answer:
“V”-emblazoned fiberglass trash cans from the days of Mayor Vergara — worth P22,000 pesosessss each — were all piled up at the Engineers’s Office yard the last time the Philippine Greens Cordillera proposed for the same project.

It is said that they will no longer be used because the Zero Waste Program is “in place.”
