BULL’S HIT

Kuwentong barbero
Rudy Garcia

Congressman Teves making allegations that extortion at the Commission on Appointments were rampant but did not name names was like a revelation ala “kwentong barbero”. If the good congressman has his evidence and the courage, he should reveal pointblank who are those involved, unless he doesn’t have balls.

If he can duplicate what Chavit Singson did his “Kumpare Erap”, I will surely salute him, but if not, he better shut up or I will just compare him to a screaming faggot telling tell tales. A really “no big deal.”

The Department of Public Works and Highways District Office in Baguio revealed there are no more funds to use for the continuation of the almost half way construction of the BGH flyover project along the BGH Rotonda.

Now, they are talking, but how come they did not anticipate this in the first place? Don’t they have good engineers who are experts on estimates and calculation?
Former Baguio City Mayor Braulio Yaranon maybe have been right when he made his stand against this project. He was suspended as a result. Right now, lots of inconvenience are being experienced by passing motorists in the area.

We can’t help but ask those concerned when this flyover would be finished? Where will they get additional funds to complete this project? Or do we need again to beg for another foreign aid?

The Baguio City Anti Vice Coordinating Council or AVCTF headed by reelected city Councilor Galo Weygan will start to conduct full swing inspection of all business establishments like nightspots in the city on July 2.

If we figure out how many of these establishments don’t have business permits, statistics will show a close one fourth of the ratio. Could you imagine all of these being closed at the same time? Baguio may become a ghost town.

To strictly implement the policy is not the ultimate solution. It is a better idea that city officials should conduct an open dialogue with all business owners to know their concerns so a win-win solution could be made on what is beneficial to the city government and the public. After all, mayor-elect Peter Bautista said the city legislative and executive departments would be working hand in hand.

… How about those poor vendors whose income are only enough for their daily hand to mouth sustenance? Most of them are apprehensive of being displaced from their areas but they have nowhere to transfer.

Wala akong lugar na malilipatan dahil wala namang relokasyon para sa aming mga vendors ng palengke.Kung sakali, baka mapilitan akong magnakaw o sa anumang paraan para mabuhay ang pamilya ko,” said a vendor.

The law maybe harsh but it’s the law. There are lucky people who live in comfort but how about these poor brothers and sisters of ours who only depend on how much they sell? If the authorities don’t treat them with compassion will it do better for us?

Or will only benefit the few selected ones? Maybe, it’s more appropriate for city officials to conduct an open dialogue with these vendors. Authorities should out the real problems at the city market, and if possible, amend existing provisions and make these concerns their priority before its too late. Otherwise, the Baguio market will turn out to be another playground for hide and seek. Wanna bet?
