September 29th, 2014 05:22 AM #81Good points...But it is not only politicians affiliated with the left who harbor squatters. I remember a discussion I had with our messenger a few years back when he relayed to me his neighborhood's glowing appreciation for the courage of Cong. Crisologo and Cong. Daza in their defense for the rights of the poor. He continued that, Cong. Crisologo and Daza were always with them "kapit bisig" whenever a demolition team sent by the city Government appeared in their community. Thus, he said that these two lawmakers will forever have their support even through generations.
Our messenger was a local leader in his community and I asked him if he knew of any proposed law, a resolution or any action filed by their favorite Congressmen that would help improve their lot in life. He responded in the negative. Obviously these two Congressmen would rather have the a status quo with the squatters and would love to continue with their "heroic" theatrics come demolition time, lest they lose votes during elections. Well, the Daza's have been one of the most successful political clans in QC. they have been around for years thanks to the vote of the great unwashed.

I never said poor people chose to be poor. You're correct that nobody wants to be poor and live a hand-to-mouth way of life. But I still do believe that it is up to the person to change. I have staff who are the sons of farmers and household help who have turned their lives around such as our sales head who now lives a very comfortable life.
I have yet to see a politician face the squatter problem squarely in the face. I doubt this issue will be solved within my generation.

Therapeutic din naman magbasa (at mag-post) ng thread na ito. Nailalabas ang mga hidden angst at pent up emotions. Hehe.

Linya ng mga politico yang "poor people don't have a chance to better their lives" therefore it's not their choice to be poor.
Go to the slums, tanong mo kung magkano ang kinita ni mister at ni misis then tanong mo kung ilan ang anak nila. Mapapa mura ka lang. There are few who choose to be responsible and work really hard and guess what just like your staff they live a comfortable now.

October 9th, 2014 10:04 PM #89parang unti unti na namang dumadami ang squatters sa agham road. Pati na rin dun sa holy spirit ba yun yung kanto ng luzon ave at congressional ave extension. napapaisip tuloy ako kung nagkataon lang o dahil malapit na 2016 election.
Buhay na buhay ang BGC this evening. Bukas halos lahat ng restaurants. Sabi pa nung isang cashier...
