I was scrolling down on my feed when I saw various posts from different private social accounts who are dishing out their different POVs about the Manila Bayās Rehabilitation as part of the Governmentās āBuild, build, build Programā ā which is highly being supported by many, but also is said to be leading to reclamation or to have it returned to the government, sounds antipathetic right?
Okay, if I were to give my own standpoints about contemporary national issues on these projects concerning and affecting predominantly the poor ones like me, I would definitely NOT go against but rather think more on the hopeful prospects. Why? Let me share my views to you, although, you are not interested. Lol [I need this too btw]
But first, I am not a blind follower neither confused. I have my own sentiments and beliefs, just so you know.
I am no stranger to things, people, occurrences, propagandas, especially, ADMINISTRATION, like duh? I have been living this so called ālifeā for 22 years and still havenāt seen any changes and improvements in this country -- NGAYON LANG, in all fairness.
Whatās my point? Maybe this project will seriously create a huge impact, as I said, mostly, sa mga kapos sa buhay o mga mahihirap na gaya ko. Be enlightened that if the Manila Bay, together with the other areas, will be reclaimed by the government, there will be infrastructures, buildings and other business establishments na itatayo across Metro Manila.
Some of the disadvantages of the reclamation, (sabi nila):
Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā a. Ā Ā If this reclamation be done, only the rich people and foreigners and privileged few could benefit or get a job, āan idea of the rich becomes richer and the poor becomes poorer.ā
Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā b. Ā Ā If this reclamation be done, white-collar workers will get a decent pay and job; they can be promoted too, while blue-collar workers will still suffer with the contractualization.
Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā c. Ā Ā If this reclamation be done, a more decongested Metro Manila will be experienced due to the rapid number of people, cars and additional wastes.
Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā d. Ā Ā If this reclamation be done, it will cause destruction to the environment and the city would be vulnerable to disasters.
What do these things mean? I canāt elaborate this more, but listen to yourselves; you are the ones who are isolating or let me say, degrading/discouraging us (the poor) from the privileged ones.
If infrastructures and industries will be built then job vacancies will be opened. Unemployment rate will be reduced. Underprivileged, even the unschooled and untrained ones will be offered more opportunities. Quit those stereotypical concepts that ill-educated ācannot do this, cannot do thatā¦ā they can, we can. This project, though sounded and planned to be hostile is also an action of the authorities to spread to the Filipinos especially to the ignorant and permissive that they need to be aware and be responsible with the nature. Isnāt this idea beneficient? Have you not seen the Filipinos who banded together just to clean up the mess of your fellow countrymen, and now you wanted this positive outcomes to be stopped?
Stop being pessimistic.
I, being a journalism student, trained and still training to be more watchful, strongly support every Governmentās plans concerning the betterment of the nature, on the good of the Filipino people and of the entire country.
Let us all encourage each and every one not to go against the improving current administration.
To my beloved fellowmen, hindi tayo bulag, hindi rin tayo mangmang. Pero pagod na tayo, all those past years, weāve been abused and maltreated. This is all about our future, the future of our kids and grandchildren, the future of the Philippines. Letās admit the fact that we are all feeling the improvements and quite a bit of change and lastly,
This country is already at its worst. I donāt need to explain the last part.
āAnd let us not be weary in well doing: for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not.ā Galatians 6:9 [KJV]
