I Ate Flyovers Again For Breakfast: And Why It’s Getting Sickening For Cebu
Yes, it’s sickening. The word “Flyovers” is now becoming agitating and irritating.
Each and every time I drive by past a flyover, I can’t help but wonder how much went to the pockets of those who signed for the approval of these infrastructures to get built.
So they want the Flyovers in Cebu City to get built as soon as possible. It’s like hearing these people say, “let’s get these built to get the money as soon as possible”. Apparently, each flyover will cost roughly Ph600 Million, and being among those who have done government projects in the past, probably 20% of that amount definitely is not bad for the pockets of those who want to get rich fast by building fast.
What’s frustrating about some of the key decision makers of this country is that, they hear the people’s voice when they run for office, and yet they tend to get selective amnesia once they are seated in their respective offices.
Real representatives ought to GENUINELY REPRESENT the valid concerns of the people.
It's needless to say that the taxpayers' money ought to be spent on those that will bring outcomes for the common good, and I say it again anyway for the sake of sickening emphasis.
That is why the sight of the blue buses running around the city with the face of this decision maker pisses me off. It should have been the people’s faces, the taxpayers, that should be painted there and not the two of you, unless of course they took the money out of their own pockets. And seeing these blue buses parked at the busy intersections at the whims of the unmindful drivers is not cute at all...reflecting how capricious the faces on that bus are in representing the city.
So let it be.
Build fast because that is one way of getting million pesos richer fast.
Because if these flyovers should rise, each one becomes a landmark of the plain misinformation that has unfortunately plagued some of the key decision-makers of Cebu. It validates who to vote for and who not to vote for…who to trust and who not to trust.
The flyover debate and controversy is but a blessing in disguise. It definitely gives us a good understanding of what these officials are made of. Because what they don’t know can really hurt Cebu. And what they refuse to understand is what's sickening and deadly.
