replyromel: That would be interesting Romel :) But I have no idea who names these bridges or how carpenters and forbes got theirs.
reply@chymera: Why are the bridges named Forbes and Carpenter? We should name these structures after Ilonggos or after endangered Panay-Island endemics such as the Panay cloudrunner, Writhe-billed Hornbill, etc. (like here in Miami, they have the Dolphin Expressway, Sawgrass Expressway). This would help in the awareness of our heritage (endemic species, local heroes). Anyway thank you for what you are doing in promoting our Iloilo. I’m a longtime reader and fan of yours.
replyI think it is the hardest task for them to do. Paano nila dakpon kung sila katulad man sa gina dakop nila? di bala?
replybilly: Know what billy, amo ni nga klase sang problema ang daw mabudlay intindihon. We are not saying that we are againts with these people, but of what they are doing, which is illegal, right? What I really don’t understand is, nga-a padamo-on pa sila bag-o dakpon? Diri mo makita nga ang aton City Ordinance againts illegal sidewalk vendors, anti-squatting law and etc.. are somewhat, nigas cogon lang.
replyit’s not anymore surprising that some ilonggos have distorted mind and manifestly hard headed. Tan-awa lang ang side vendors sa syudad, kung wala gani pulis ara na naman sila naga humlad sang ila baligya sa alagyan, ang mga squatters kung makakita gani pwesto pasimple lang anay sa umpisa hasta nga maka amat-amat, and worse is, even some people at the top who implement laws are themselves violators and even connived in illegal activities for their own selves welfare….seems that our civil society is already deeply rooted with corruption from top to bottom. How can we eject these kind of people? That is one big hard question.
replyAfter reviewing the”iloiloguimarassummit.com”pictures, damu na naman salawayun nga mga kasimanwa ta. Wa-ay pa gani ma turn-over ang project ara na naman sila sagi pinasaway. May ara na ya nga gapunong-punong tapos may tanum na nga tangkung. May nag-obra na condo sa dalum sang taytay. Daw wa-ay guid ni animo ang mga tawo di, para na gani sa ila ka-ayuhan pero daw wa-ay man gyapon kabulusgan. Bisan tani mga Barangay Kapitan o Tanod man lang ang mabantay, O basi gahulat lang tupa. Basi no?
replyAt last you made it chy. This is the kind of progress that I’m waiting for couple of years now. The before and after, what a big accomplishment. Thanks..
