The Baguio that I knew growing up seems to be long gone. <BR/>Is there any ongoing effort or an org that is working towards stopping this senselessness and pushing to recover the city's old charm?Able Therapyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14665723064531950449noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15647147.post-57683863498616517532007-10-12T11:37:00.000+08:002007-10-12T11:37:00.000+08:00i couldn't agree more. baguio has been my second h...i couldn't agree more. baguio has been my second home and i am disheartened to see that the culture is fast dissipating. if you happen to go there now, almost one half of it is already owned by foreigners (mostly koreans), and now, with this development in burnham, i think we will soon lose the essence of Baguio.Omanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15334833375168419402noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15647147.post-65511278628433420782007-10-11T23:09:00.000+08:002007-10-11T23:09:00.000+08:00another one down the drain...another one down the drain...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15647147.post-28735773114959006552007-10-11T00:06:00.000+08:002007-10-11T00:06:00.000+08:00Hi Ivan, Many times I cannot understand how people...Hi Ivan,<BR/> <BR/>Many times I cannot understand how people think and how people work. Public servants especislly the elected ones, should be the first to lead in conservation and preservation of our culture, heritage, and the environment. But it seems money is the be-all and end-all of their actuations. While P1.5 M is not a measly amount, the city of Baguio I'm sure can manage to earn the same amount or even nmore if they collect taxes adequately and not desecrating nature's beauty. Thanks for taking the cudgel for this.<BR/> <BR/>Tita LettyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15647147.post-1958771148396886112007-10-09T02:24:00.000+08:002007-10-09T02:24:00.000+08:00It's more of a nighmare on Burham Park!
