BRIDGES to Connect Cebu, Bohol, and Negros!

[arnoldsa]

---

I cant imagine why some people can still afford to throw away so much money in the midst of grinding poverty of our people.

If its not stupidity, i dont know what it is.


Â* It's greed, plain & simple.

It's also plain and simple greed for the Communists to spend money extorted from people doing legitimate businesses and money channeled by communist fronts who are sitting in Congress to wage a murderous war against the people...all in the midst of the grinding poverty of our nation...

The distance between Negros and Cebu and Bohol respectively is too wide. Heck, they didnt even build a bridge between Spain and Gibraltar because of the high cost, now we have these wild dream of connecting not only one but two islands; its beneficial effects on the people is still suspect.

They didn't build a bridge linking spain and gibraltar because the Spaniards are afraid of boosting a potential for African immigrants...

The Euro tunnel is even far more longer than the straight (of gibraltar) but yet they built it not out of vain and luxury but of necessity...

Cge, paglalis lang mo. In the meantime........Hehehe.
What's the point anyway. Mute and academic ang discussion coz, this proposed project will amount to nothing! Not in the next five years or so anyway.

Of course you can't built it in the next five years considering that this is still in the planning stage... and course if the funding will not be diverted for egocentric projects in Luzon... But what's important is that the idea has been brought up....

In fact the second Mactan bridge was already planned in the early 80s.... In the early 90s, ideas of building a tunnel (like the one in Hongkong) instead of the bridge propped up... But after much brouhaha, the second bridge finally took service in 1999..... almost two decades later...

this will cost huge sum of money coz of the long span between islands..it will never be materialize..not in this generation..and remember that we still have to pay the SRP loan

talking about greed and stupidity, there are plans to build a bridge across the bering strait linking siberia and alaska, and only the limits of the capabilities of the people behind it are hindering them. it makes us wonder why would they build the almost impossible when there are already supergiant ships that can carry thousands of cars and anything in one haul and there are jumbo jets that can deliver anything from one point of the globe to the opposite side just overnight.
there's one thing that a road can provide which the sea and air transport can't, seamless connectivity, for people, goods, etc,. it even means freedom for some people. for us who spent most of our lives in a small island can't grasp or appreciate that fully, pardon me

again, talking about greed and stupidity, we can take a look at manila and luzon where almost all of 'greedy' and 'stupid' infrastractures are located. can you pass by the skyway without paying a big amount of money? going to the north expressway, you can see long stretches of it are overhead highways crossing ricefields. that means dry land, not water. stupid? no, just practical. that is the backbone of luzon and vital to the nation's economy. so, why can't we build a similar practical infrastructure in the visayas? aren't we vital to the nation's economy as well? one more interesting thing, there aren't a number of majestic schools and sparkling hospitals in that part of luzon, not even bamboo huts schools or fly-infested clinics. talk about priorities.

well, this topic is not exactly about priorities. i guess, it's about the bridge itself and it's impact to the economy and the people. but due to our economic situation we can't help but confuse our visions with the nagging reality. anyways, this is still just a plan. we can sit back and watch the schools and hospitals being built, hopefully. and make sure nobody gets a cut out of the budget, and pray not too many will grow up ignorant or die in illnesses before they are completed.

Out of order!
