can you name a place here in the philippines that has not deteriorated (nature-wise) in the last ten years? a place you visited 10 years ago that up to now is the same thing... or better... i havent found one... if you can find one, please share to us, so that we can visit it also...

almost every place i visit here in the philippines eh pumangit (environmentally speaking), a place i visit regularly in pangasinan doesnt have the field of lush trees anymore, they were replaced by small houses and sari sari stores... and this is true in all places i go to...

my point is that all places here in the philippines are deteriorating... baguio is deteriorating as much as any place in the philippines (actually any place in the planet). If a person's reason of not going to some place is because it is not as it was years ago, then there is no reason to go somewhere else... yes, our only option would be to stay in our own rooms and lower the temperature and hopefully we can experience a better baguio there...

i am different though... i like baguio, it is not as it used to be 20 years ago when i went there the first time but it is still a go-to town for me kahit may mga basura pa (sanay na rin ako sa basura dito sa amin eh hehe)... i will still regularly go there, more than twice a year if possible... ika nga ng mga matatanda... "i-enjoy mo pa yan hanggang andiyan pa kesa magreklamo"

WHY do i spend much time going there, get tired on the trip, spend hard earned money IF I WILL FIND THE SAME THINGS I AM TRYING TO GET AWAY FROM? we are not saying manila is better. we go to baguio to escape manila hoping that we will not to find the same traffic, the same filth, the same mismanagement. why bother when i can always turn the setting of the aircon in my room to full and make it 10 degrees C without bothering with a 5 hour trip.
