flyover Fly - "Over"


Cebu City, Philippines - “WE ARE not few.”

Businessman Bunny Pages said that those opposing the proposed Banilad-Talamban flyover are from “a wide spectrum of the community” contrary to what Cebu City Mayor Tomas Osmeña said.

The mayor has argued that while there are just a few residents and businessmen with vested interests in the Banilad Town Centre (BTC) who seek to block the project, the flyover will benefit thousands of constituents from 15 northern barangays who favor the construction.

The flyover has its benefits, it just happens that the alternate option this business man proposes has more. Common, if we want Cebu City to grow, to be industrialized, we need to have bigger roads. And that's not just for banilad-talamaban roads, but all our city roads.

I don't know why this mayor, who, in the past, invests in such expensive and unsure SRP, can't support the idea of having greater, wider city roads. I guess this gives more fruits than the latters SRP project. He always said that he wants to improve cebu's status, now here's his chance.

With wider roads, banilad will be flocked with investors, giving our city government more funds(to corrupt). Tommy should have an open mind instead of arrogance. If he's thinking of greater good, then support this widening project. Anyways, if there's a will, there's always a way.
