alfredo lim / manila thread

[themann]

guys, hope we could try to discuss alfredo lim and manila improvement.

frankly speaking, i hate what lito atienza did in manila. made areas pang turista pero iba baka pathetic. pina ilaw ang jones bridge and reina regente pero di lang niya na isip na hirap i maintain. nag kawalaan na tuloy ang mga housing ng ilaw.

one issue is the what he did in carrieda. i hope he could the same with the area in dangwa. speaking of dangwa wala ng malakaran sa sidewalk. linalagyan ng mga display at mga upuan ng mga vendors. third world mentality pa rin. what if kinuha ng lang ang dating lot in autobus para ma decongest itol

i was trying to check the website of manila (manila.gov.ph) pero hindi na updated. si atienza pa rin ang mayor.

Tma un ginawa ni mayor Lim na binuksan yun avenida! im sure makakatulong yan bumawas sa traffic!

[zero]

isa sa dahilan ng pagkatalo ni atienza ang pagsara nya sa isang part ng avenida.
humina daw kita ng business establishments doon, ang lumakas lang prosti at mandurukot sa lugar.

balita ko, bubuksan na rin ang kalye sa likod ng immigration office sa intramuros,
ginawa rin kasing park ito ni atienza.

Another thing that needs his attention is the Zobel Roxas extension project. The road is finished connecting the old "end" (Dulo) of Zobel Roxas to Delpan St. Manila. The problem is that the squatters in the area dumped their stuff there including junk and other obstructions making it impassable to vehicles, except tricycles. :fire:

kaya natalo yan si atienza is bec ayaw ng mga taga manila na magkaroon ng mayor na puppet, before kim atienza decline to run for mayor sino ba and nasaan ba si ali atienza? ano ba nagawa niya s manila? sa bawal ang dynasty sa manila na gusto sanang mangyari ni atienza...buti na lang natalo yun anak niya...

Kaya natalo si Kim, ginaya nya kasi pananamit ng Tatay niya! Sawa na ang mga Manilenyos sa bulaklaking t-shirt ng mga Atienza's.

Seriously........Lim is now getting the flak for declaring (initially) Mendiola open, for protest rallies. Then, biglang kambiyo. Holidays and weekends lang pwede mag-rally. Natural, dissapointed sina Beltran, Casino, etc.

Totoo namang maraming napi-perwisyo, lalo na kung may klase sa univ. belt. Doon sila sa Liwasang Boni, kahit umagahin sila (protesters) roon.

Peace and order at tamang buwis ang ilan sa mga pangako ni Mayor Lim. Kaya nya yan kung mapapasunod nya yung mga tauhan nya.

First, i really was impressed by Alfred Lim's first 3 terms in Manila. I also liked what Lito Atienza did to Manila in his 3 terms. When Lim won last elections, i was kind of wary baka kasi diktahan lang siya ng opposition (Erap, Binay et. al.). Pero with his decision with regards to the Mendiola protest rallies, it just reinforced his my earlier perception of him, which is he is a mayor serving manilenos first, party affiliations come far second.

Also, what i would like Mayor Lim to do is to just replace all those aesthetic lamp posts with one that is a little bit sturdier, albeit not aesthetically pleasing. Karamihan kasi sa mga malalanding lightposts ni Lito Atienza hindi na gumagana eh, aksaya lang sa pera, at madam pa din poorly lit streets dito sa manila

malaki in problema ni Mayor Lim. I heard my dad say that there is an issue of double taxation in Manila. Dont know the details exactly pero, nag-rule na supreme court na dapat mag refund (tax credit) sa mga taxpayers. Mejo malaki ang i-refund nila considering they started collecting this tax na illegal nung si Lim din ang mayor and that was more than a decade ago.

Pero yung Baywalk, biglang nawalan ng sigla. Pinakita sa 24 Oras, wala na masyado tao sa gabi, unlike noong panahon ni Atienza. Pinagbawal na kasi pagbenta ng alak sa venue. Softdrinks, ice cream at sandwich na lang ang available. Pati yung stall ni Pacman, sarado na rin.
