Mayors? Negative Or Positive

[Fusarium_jimini]

Mayor Fred Lim,, ang dahilan ng napakalalang baha sa Kamaynilaan. langhya na matanda na ito, puro re-blocking pinaggagawa sa Maynila. Pati ba naman kalye namin na hindi naman major thoroughfare, walang lubak, and makitid lamang ay sukat pataasan ng gagong kelot na ito? Ni hindi nga ito bumabaha kahit nung undoy e pinakealaman pa. Ayun, lahat ng bahay dito sa kalye pinapasok ng tubig. Sana matalo itong hukluban na ito sa susunod na eleksyon.

In Quezon city naman . . . Mayor Herbert Bautista has instigated when renewing Business Permit one should have a CCTV camera installed in the Establishment. Grabe naman. Although CCTV cameras are cheap in CD-R King pero kahit na, what if the business is Small and does not have the capacity to buy CCTV cameras. I hope he changes this policy.

It may seem extravagant, but I wish they do a complete restoration/upgrade of Manila City Hall. It's such an eyesore and whenever I pass by it, I cannot help but to shake my head in shame...

May kinalaman kayang pulitika sa nangyaring patayan sa Antimonan, Quezon Province noong isang araw? I have a funny feeling may politics involved. Politics at malaking pera. :angry2:

pinaka-EPAL na Mayor talaga ay si Mister Swabe Recom Echiverri...

 

I once passed through Caloocan and noticed Echiverri's photo plastered on walls, fire trucks, government vehicles, and just about any place where he can gain political mileage. He gives new meaning to the word pachyderm.

Was just wondering if there's such a thing as a mayor who's not involved in dipping his hands in the till and enriching himself using real estate tax collections by the city/municipal/provincial government where he holds reign. I mean, why is local politics so dirty and violent? Is it because candidates eye the mayoralty position as a means to enrich themselves? Hence the motivation to k*ll their rivals?

With regards to the streets in QC being parked on my jeepneys, Manila is also a city where jeepneys park. Sidecar drivers counterflow on a couple of main roads of Manila.

 

Bro I think this happens in practically all the cities in MM. But I'm not going to complain anymore after seeing what traffic was like during a recent visit to Hanoi, Vietnam. OMG if you think it's bad here, you should see how people drive over there. Total chaos. I used to complain how lousy our driving habits were epecially after visiting the US. But after seeing the way people drive in Vietnam, all of a sudden I don't think our drivers are so bad after all!!! He he he. Makes me appreciate living here instead of in Vietnam!

 

I've even seen photos of what driving is like in Bangladesh. Bro I think it's even worse over there than in Vietnam.

I visited Ho Chi Minh City about 10 years ago andthe city was filled with motorcyles, scooters, pedicabs, etc. There were no traffic enfocers so you just had to make your way across the street while thousands of motorcylces drove right in front of you. You should never be intimidated by the volume of motorcyles. One must act confidently while crossing the street and not be frightened by the huge number of motor bikes heading you way. It does take some guts to cross a road in Saigon. After seeing the anarchy on the streets, I asked myself how these poor people with this lousy type of driving ever defeat the most powerful nation on earth? I am amazed at the Vietamese people.

I think our traffic problem is rooted from our public transport not being organized. Mas OK kung isang company lang naghahawak ng jeep and bus. Ngayon kasi, makikita mo maraming bus sabay sabay ang labas, kahit hindi peak hours, kaya nag-aagawan ng pasahero. Sa amin, makikita mo mga 10 jeep nasa kalye, naghihintay ng pasahero sabay sabay. May pila nga pero may ibang bigla na lang nagsasakay. Sa ibang bansa na iisa lang ang naghahawak ng public transport, gaya ng China or US, walang problem.

Noong panahon ng martial law, hawak ng gobyerno ang public transportation. Iisa lang and bus company. Gobyerno ang may ari. Sa tingin ko mas maganda kung ibalik sa gobyerno ang pag operate ng public utility vehicles.

Speaking of Bistek and QC, what can you say about this? Don't you think this is unfair?

Quezon City probably has the largest number of informal settlers (aka squatters) who invade and occupy privately owned lands. The owners of privately owned lands are required to pay real property tax to the city governmnent. In this case, the mayor even increased the amount of the real property tax that land owners need to pay.

 

You would think in exchange for the real property taxes that land owners pay, the city government would somehow protect the rights of these tax paying citizens. But no. The city government allows informal settlers to run roughshod over the rights of hard working productive citizens. These squatters take over the lands of tax-paying land owners in exchange for keeping the incumbent mayor in power with their votes.

 

I'd like to see a law pass protecting land owners. For one, there should be a law excempting land owners from paying realty tax if their properties are squatter infested. Mayors, who rely heavily on property taxes to fund their operations, will be at the forefront of ensuring that squatters do not invade and occupy the lands of property owners.
