What's the difference between this project of Slater Young in Cebu (L) and Baguio City's Pinget and Quirino Hill (R)? A THREAD
Pinget and Quirino Hill are communities of and built by the COMMON people. It has been resilient to devt aggression and natural disasters......(1/5)
because common people know how to protect the environment for the future generations. Watersheds and small forested areas are protected by the community.....(2/n)
While this Slater project is a project for the ELITE. Throughout the history, the elite never knew how and when to stop plundering natural resources, and it has caused flooding, landslides, and human displacement....(3/n)
In Baguio City's experience, subdivions, condos, and townhouses built for and by the elite has cut down pine trees A WAY LOT MORE than those in suburban communities and outlying areas. And these has been permitted by DENR and the LGU btw....(4/n).
So yeh again. The main question remains unanswered. Development for whom? (5/5). END OF THREAD
