Living A Memory

Comment from a reader on "When Will SBMA Allow Victory Liner To Pick Up In T...":

Bus terminals and mega malls? Why not just move to Manila?

[The Subic Bulletin] Did you come to Subic expecting it to always remain a rural backwater? Then you may have chosen the wrong provincial address. Ever since the US pulled out and Dick Gordon (love him or hate him) jumped in with a rescue plan the vision has been for one of growth and prosperity in the Freeport Zone.

The current Administrator tells us the he is modelling the Freeport on Singapore, except Singapore banned coal fired power plants years ago, but that's another story...

There is no stopping Subic from development, putting your head in the sand while the Malls are build around you won't keep that vision of how Subic was before alive for long.

A mall is inevitable and we would sure like to see and independent impact study on its effect (more independent than the railroaded coal plant study that is).

But arguing against a bus stop has got us beat, only the grumpy old lady at the end of the street that says it disturbs the sleep of her budgerigar argues against a bus stop!
