The Board of Governors Conference of the Asian Development Bank (ADB) is being held at the Philippine International Convention Center (PICC) since yesterday and a lot of delegates from all over the world are attending the symposium. That's good news, the Philippines will be famous again to these foreign dignitaries and maybe they will come back to our country after the said meeting but this time as tourists. Perfect scenario, eh? Nice move from the Philippine Government huh?
Well, you better not believe everything that you hear or see boys and girls. The said Conference was almost picture perfect except that the roads and bridges along the dignitaries route, probably from the airport going to their hotels and all the way up to the PICC that have "illegal and informal settlers" or "squatters" residents have been boarded up with pre-painted steel sheets. The purpose is to prevent such eyesores from being seen or noticed by the foreign dignitaries passing by that route. The bridges were also boarded up to cover the view of the polluted and stinking river and the destitute people that live under the bridges.
Isn't that a clever, clever move by the Noynoy Aquino Administration? Conceal eyesores from the foreigners' eyes and they will never find out that the Philippines is run by Corrupt and Crooked Leaders. Yes, simple and effective solution to a never ending problem. Just like what that dumb and idiotic Puerto Galera Town Mayor and Barangay Captain said about the raw sewage problem in that area. Simply make the sewage pipe longer and deeper so that it will drain out into the deep blue sea. I guess idiocy and absurdity is a common trait of these corrupt politicians.
So there it is, the slogan of President Noynoy Aquino during the last Presidential Election is about the "Daang Matuwid" or the "Honorable and Honest Way" to Governance. I guess he forgot to say that the "Daang Matuwid" is boarding up roads and bridges with painted steel sheets to cover up the poor residents and to hide other eyesores. I remember that during the tim of President Fidel V. Ramos when th APEC Summit was held here in our country that they did the same thing, the only difference is that they used plywood to cover up squatters' area from view and had the shanties painted in uniform colors to make it look "acceptable" to the foreign delegates eyes. I guess these Politicians are all the same in character, they just come in different shapes, sizes and hairdo.....:))))
