Yes I definitely agree with you on Tagbilaran's drainage and other environmental issues. It is indeed very discouraging. I was so discouraged that I wrote an article and one of the local weeklies posted it front-page minus my name to shield me from possible flak from the LCE.
I am just sharing BAI BENELYNE what I know which in my own mind think that people should know what I know... matay, hasta ko galibog ko adto akong nasulti da! Namao ba to? .... hehehehehehe
Wa diay by-line tong imong gisuwat. Maayo untag imong i-post pud dire sa TB for the benefit of those of us who may not have read it. Hapit na pud ra ba tag-uwan, mag-alingasaw na sad nga issue ang drainage.
Abi nakug makiglumba si Mayor ni Guv sa ilang pet mega-projects--ang water treatment plant ug ang Panglao International Airport. Nahilom na man lagi ang issue sa drainage ug treatment plant. Undang na sa panghagit si mayor, o out of season lang kanang isyuha kay summer pa man?
Sa akong panan-aw, murag out-of synch ang priorities sa mga lokal nga lider nato diha. Kay muingon man si Lim nga he does not see how tourism benefits the local economy. I don't really know if it's just a political statement--to take a jab at Chatto and Aumentado--or a statement that reflects his limited grasp of the economic dynamics.
As long as Tagbilaran is the capital and the gateway to Bohol, Lim must dovetail the priorities of the city to the over-all economic blueprint. I can't really see how Aumentado and Chatto can envision a resort province, and dream of upgrading Bohol's status in the world tourist map to that of Bali or Chiangmai, while Lim feels no qualms about dumping coliform-infested waste water onto Tagbilaran Bay. Unya manablig pa gyud ang iyang tawo ug septic water sa mga kritiko sa City Hall.
I don't know if I'm the only one who has noticed this: as the capital city of a tourist destination, Tagbilaran seems to be a charmless city. Wala man lay green, wala'y coordinated beautification effort, zoning guidelines, etc.

OT sa ko, Zecur B, murag familiar lagi ka. Naa man gud gihanting dire sa TB nga di gyud magpaila bisag unsaog gitik, maayo musuwat, daghan nahibaw-an, unya hilig maghan-ay anang imong gigamit nga smileys. Di ba mo igsoon o ig-agaw ni GEC?
