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

A THREAD ON LOCAL RESTAURANTS AND EATERIES HERE IN METRO BAGUIO AREA
Note: When I say local restaurant, I mean restaurants where locals of Baguio would regularly dine out because these reasons: It serves their favorite dishes,.......
is locally affordable (a typical Baguio resident would spend with a range from P99 to P150 per meal per person for dining out. At most na siguro ang P250 per meal per person. Baka nga masyado na itong mahal) And nasa location na hindi hassle for a local resident.
