Tomas: Where did the money go (Gwen)?

[digitalsuperman]

ang problema ni gwen kay kusug kaayo manghambog nga dato ang cebu province pero sa tinuod walay mga project nga concrete gyud mao nga ang kwarta naa ra gihapon wala gi invest para sa mga taga probinsya..

[sushiro1988]

unya unsa man pod kunoy nabuhat ni Tomas sa syudad?

Ngano daghan man gihapon kaau ug squatters? daghan mga snatcher, mga kawatan, unya hugaw kaayo ang syudad? walay tarong nga mga sidewalks? hasta ang mga dalan, gagmay kaau, walay expand expand. mga jeepney driver na abusado naa ra gihapon. mga CITOM nga kusug mangurakot, naa ra gihapon.

unya naay usa ka forumer dinhi nag mention ug provincial hospital.. how about the Cebu City Medical Center? naay gibuhat si Tomas aron ma improve na nga hospital? WALA.

Sa kadaghan sa mga pobre sa Cebu, mao ra tawn nay city hospital nga public. Gipabayaan pa jud sa city hall.

DAKO! Ug wa pa ni effort si Tomas sa mga Business Development Projects like the CBP, Asiatown, and SRP............ musamot ang mga squatters sa syudad........... at least naa'y effort nga gibutang para mamino-minusan ug gamay ang squatters.

At least epektibo ang mga proyekto para sa dugang trabaho ug wala malumos sa tubig ang skuylahan. Cebu will never reach it's current success of the City Hall neglected the probinsyanos. One man can't do everything in one term. Every developments takes time........ the squatters and the infrastructures will be focused next.

hahaha. ang taga Cebu dili stupid ug mada ra dayon sa botbot ni Tomas...He just can't anymore distinguish between an apple and an orange, does he? or perhaps he does, but wanted to make it look like they're the same via the old spin tactic...this is like beating again a dead horse...and by his standards, he does not think evidence and powerpoint is needed anymore. no wonder.

Editorial: Mayor Osmeña’s luncheon
Thursday, September 3, 2009

IF there’s an issue that Capitol has wisely steered clear of, it’s the one that Cebu City Mayor Tomas Osmeña has recently been beating like a dead horse.

The mayor is even spending money for a luncheon today just to publicize his spin that the JSU-PSU Mariner’s Court-Cebu Building is not only cheaper but is also better than the Capitol-constructed Cebu International Convention Center (CICC).

Osmeña also packaged well the insult by saying he will have a special table and special food reserved for Gov. Gwendolyn Garcia if she attends the luncheon.

Spin

While the mayor’s announced purpose for the luncheon is supposedly to show off a product of “good governance,” it’s obvious that the move is not imbued with altruism but is a continuation of the long-running verbal exchange between him and Capitol.

In this context, the invitation the mayor extended to officials of the Office of the Ombudsman-Visayas and the Commission on Audit (COA) could be interpreted as his way of prodding them to adopt his spin on the issue.

Different structures

But comparison, as the old saying says, is odious.

Comparing the cost of constructing the CICC and the cost of constructing the JSU-PSU building could be misleading and unproductive considering the many factors and variables that need to be looked into before conclusions can be arrived at.

The CICC and the JSU-PSU building are two different structures built by two different entities (the latter is an Associated Labor Union project) in different periods and under different circumstances.

That makes making an honest comparison difficult.

Not experts

Besides, the sponsor of the luncheon (Osmeña) and those invited—media people and officers of the anti-graft office and COA—-could surely not come up with an informed comparison by merely roaming around the JSU-PSU building.

It is even possible that the people invited to the JSU-PSU building today and asked to make the comparison have not even seen the inside of the CICC, making even their “impressions” on the matter unreliable.

But then again, that is precisely why comparisons are odious in the first place.

asa naman intawn tong ceboom, ceboom sa una uy.......

[genesis04]

unya unsa man pod kunoy nabuhat ni Tomas sa syudad?

Ngano daghan man gihapon kaau ug squatters? daghan mga snatcher, mga kawatan, unya hugaw kaayo ang syudad? walay tarong nga mga sidewalks? hasta ang mga dalan, gagmay kaau, walay expand expand. mga jeepney driver na abusado naa ra gihapon. mga CITOM nga kusug mangurakot, naa ra gihapon.

unya naay usa ka forumer dinhi nag mention ug provincial hospital.. how about the Cebu City Medical Center? naay gibuhat si Tomas aron ma improve na nga hospital? WALA.

Sa kadaghan sa mga pobre sa Cebu, mao ra tawn nay city hospital nga public. Gipabayaan pa jud sa city hall.

bai, u surely are misinformed. why is it tomas fault na daghan kaau og squatters ang cebu? dont you know na kaning mga squatters are not from cebu city..that is precisely why they are squatting on other people's lands. they are from other provinces..including cebu province. shouldnt u instead be pointing your finger at gwen for not providing enough employment opportunities in the province? moreover, show me a highly urbanized country here in the philippines that doesnt have the problems of snatchers, robbers and all those you mentioned. if this problem is uniquely cebu, il gladly transfer residence.

but going back to the topic sa CICC...

iv been there..twice! one was when we organized an event there and the other was when i was attending an event. ang ako ra jud comment..pwera gaba na building. it is truly a shame...if all you pro CICC here in istorya have ever laid your eyes on CICC..you would understand. i am not being bias against gwen..just to clarify lang. when she started out, i was impressed on how she was able to unite the politicians of cebu province. now, i say, she wields too much political clout over them..but then again, that is another issue.

anyway, as an architect by profession, or even as a common man, just look at the interior of CICC. it is very clear na pinadagan ra jud ang trabaho. the walls are misaligned. the cracks between the plywoods kay klaro kaayo. when it rains, magtulo ang sulod. the doors to the main hall are too small. and these are just some of the defects which you will notice just at first glance. As a cebuano, the CICC is simply an embarassment to the kind of craftsmanship that our world-class cebuano craftsmen are supposed to be known for. and like tom, ms gwen, where did the money go?

[mexicanlady]

Where did the money go? Ni Leo Lastimosa pa, naa sa mga pribadong bulsa sa mga naka ganansya.

[Tirong-say]

Naa secure na kaayo sa lawom nga bulsa, asa pa man diay.......

[jfox]

Yahay rajud ni sila pahambugay.

btaw.....cge ra jud ni sila duha...........

isa ka dako nga project ni tomas kai ang SRP.
ka daghan mahatagan trabaho diha kung ma tukoran na diha ug building

kasagaran anang mga squaters kai dili man jud na taga cebu. taga probinsya ug lain pang dapit asa pilipinas nga naningpad diri.

curious lang ko bah. ngano ang tukod man CICC? diba naa man ta mga dagko nga hotels nga naa dagko convention hall.. murag pwede man unta ngadto i held. wala na unta sila mag taud ug lamp post kai derecho na saka ang mga deligates kung dili na sila ganahan mo suroy
