Thanks for calling the attention of al...Dear Ivan,<br /><br />Thanks for calling the attention of all to SM. It represents a threat, not only to heritage, but also to equitable development.<br /><br />1) To heritage because it propagates homogenization. Go to one SM in any part of the country and you will meet the same products. There is little effort by it to attract local businessmen to sell their wares. Also SM consciously seeks to compete with small businessmen in the heart of each town. But it is the heart of each town where heritage structures are located.<br /><br />2) To equitable development because SM throws small businessmen out of business. Their plan calls for setting up Savemores beside wet markets to attract the latter's customers. It isn't just the tinderas who are driven out, so are the hundreds of shops selling dry goods. E.g. look at what has happened to Session Rd in Baguio or to the Historic Center of Iloilo.<br /><br />In other countries (Japan and Spain), the government discourages big malls in order to protect small businessmen. But ours is a Weak State that is easily manipulated by powerful private interests.<br /><br />If I may make a suggestion: HCS's message will be better understood if it allies itself with other segments of the population. E.g. with small shopkeepers and small businessmen -- in this case. In other cases, we may think of forming alliances with urban poor who need housing. Our inner cities have many semi-empty buildings (some of heritage value) that could be restored as rental housing -- as has happened in the Tenderloin District of San Francisco, USA.<br /><br />Perhaps the next conference of HCS could focus on forming alliances with other sectors.<br /><br />Best regards,<br />ButchAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15647147.post-7257328132747604752010-12-13T00:19:36.571+08:002010-12-13T00:19:36.571+08:00thanks for the update IVAN!! real good news indeed...thanks for the update IVAN!! real good news indeed!Maria Lourdes Joy Martineznoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15647147.post-22076494283520641732010-12-13T00:16:06.623+08:002010-12-13T00:16:06.623+08:00Congratulations on the very positive developments ...Congratulations on the very positive developments in San Fernando! And all the best to the initiatives to counter the SM development.<br /> <br />My father, who was a participant of the Death March, left me some prints of pencil sketches of the March made by an American soldier who was also a participant of the Death March. I'd like to donate these to the museum once its finished. Just remind me about it.<br /> <br />DinkyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15647147.post-23393391165406790382010-12-13T00:15:37.103+08:002010-12-13T00:15:37.103+08:00Congratulations Ivan and to the people of San Fern...Congratulations Ivan and to the people of San Fernando!Conrado A.
