KVETCH!
UPDATE
kvetch (kvch) Slang intr.v. kvetched, kvetch·ing, kvetch·es: To complain persistently and whiningly.
Who said that you cant get things done by simply complaining? Remember that rant I made about the mini-mall being built right on the Luneta Park by the Quirino grandstand? The one I sent out about a couple of months ago? Well. Apparently Da Mayor of Manille Joselito Atienza has taken all our whinings (via email and phone) to heart and put an order to stop all construction. Whee! I drove by the area yesterday and it seems all work has been stopped completely. There is even a sign in front from City Hall saying that they revoked the building license. Unfortunately, insiders at City Hall say that some of the powers that be behind this project are trying to overturn the decision and complete the mall and forever change the landscape of this already cluttered park. Media Folk? Can we follow up on what's going on here? Let's see who is to blame for letting this happen and what's going to happen to this half-done structure? Actually, much worse than a mall on a national park is a HALF-finished mall on a national park.

hey that's great news! i hope they really don't push through with it. and that they remove the unfinished part as well :)
hey carlos! can you pls spearhead a bumper sticker campaign that says I (heart) Manila?
It would also be a good moneymaker. :)
Don't forget me if it sells ha? hahahaha

Great idea. But I think someone already did the I heart manila thing in the seventies. But youre right, its ripe for a retro return.
it is good that they stopped the construction but you're also right to say that they can't leave the unfinished building. the government should start removing it immediately or else they're going to become lazy and leave it like that for good ... i attest this to the fact that we have alot of unfinished buildings in the metro which the government abandoned and they destroy our landscape.
hi carlos, it's me again. :)
(said tongue-in-cheek) maybe the government feels it has done its share of the stop-construction and is expecting you to do the demolition? :)
