Baguio Councilors Priority:Cars for Themselves

[Hanren]

I know this is not national in terms of scope but I think every sensible citizen would cringe on this proposal of our honorable city councilors here in Baguio.

Our city government is currently having problems on where to source out funds to buy at least 4 garbage dump trucks to help address the garbage problem in the city. In addition to that, our city's police force needs additional patrol cars to help maintain peace and order in the city.

But our city councilors passed a resolution alloting for themselves brand new cars each (max of 1 million pesos). This would be taken from the city's excess funds. They justified that they need cars for their travel to and from their work and home and would get gas allowances from the city government. People here in Baguio have reacted with disdain and contempt for this car plan but these councilors still insist that they could always source out other funds for the dump trucks in the future.

How insensitive can they get nowadays.. *rant* *rant* *rant*

hahaha kaya nga yan tumakbo sa halalan yang mga yan e hehehe

ano ba mapapala nila kung mapupunta lang sa public service ang budget ng gobyerno?

sabi nga ni dale carnegie, man daw is inherently good. para daw makagawa ito ng karumal-dumal, kelangan niya ng "justification." iniisip siguro ng mga hunghang na councilor na yan, "charity begins at home." "how can i do my job if i can't get to work?" "i will be of better service to my people if i have a 1-million-peso car to get me to work." "i need an incentive to perform my best public service."

and the classic...

"what are you in power for?"

hay kawawang pinas...

tsk tsk tsk.... kapal ng mga muks.

Dito sa Baguio very honest ang mga TAXI. Magtaxi na lang kaya sila.. its cheaper. Tsaka may allowance naman sila.. AND... It's Baguio man! Maganda maglakad, exercise pa.

(dami dami ng ngang mga kotse na naka-park sa City hall... magiging problem na naman ang parking.)

PEACE!!

kumpadre naman, baka isipin nila kumpareng sendong na pipitsugin ito. aba, nanalo ata ito ng councilor, tapos 80K na 2nd hand na sasakyan lang ang ibibigay sa kanila ng gobyerno? e di dapat hindi na lang sila nagpakahirap tumakbo sa halalan. magkano ba ginastos nila sa halalan? ambait na nga nila kasi dapat mazda cx9 na tig-2.5M ang dapat hiningi nila e. tutal may pera naman e. yun na ngang naka-budget na pambili ng kotse para sa mga pulis. aanhin ba ng mga pulis yan? mas magagamit ko ang perang yan.

di bale. pag naipasa namin ang bagong bill (eg. palitan ang pangalan ng "kalye uno" into "kalye dos") e malalaman ng mga tao na hindi naman kami tutulog tulog sa trabaho. siguro by that time, pwede na namin hingiin ang mazda cx9.

oo nga pala, kelangan mairegalo kay kumpareng sendong ang pagpapagawa ng bagong street sign ng kalye dos. baka isipin ni sendong na nakalimutan ko na siya. baka isipin niya na sobra na akong big time, kasi nga naman, councilor na, may bagong 1M na kotse pa. kelangan malaman ni sendong na kahit ganong sikat na ako, e naka-apak pa din sa lupa ang mga paa ko.
