Blocked for 30 days on Facebook!!!!

Where is freedom and democracy in Baguio if an ordinary citizen is suppressed from posting her comments and opinions regarding public officials in Baguio?!  Public servants such as Baguio City  Congressman Bernardo Vergara and Mayor Mauricio Domogan should be open to critics and public opinion!  They must not silence anyone for posting comments and opinions not favorable to them!!  This must stop!

AN OPEN LETTER TO BAGUIO CITY CONGRESSMAN BERNARDO VERGARA AND MAYOR MAURICIO DOMOGAN: STOP SUPPRESSING FREEDOM AND DEMOCRACY I

AN OPEN LETTER TO BAGUIO CITY CONGRESSMAN BERNARDO VERGARA AND MAYOR MAURICIO DOMOGAN:  STOP SUPPRESSING FREEDOM AND DEMOCRACY IN BAGUIO!? Vergara and Domogan pikon - talo!? Ako po ay isang ordinaryong mamamayan lang po ng Baguio na may Facebook account, kung saan malaya ko pong naipapahayag ang aking mga damdamin, kaisipan at opinyon ukol sa mga kaganapan dito sa ating lungsod. Labis po akong nalulungkot sa kinahinatnan ng Baguio magbuhat po sa Baguio na aking kinagisnan.  Sa aking palagay ay nawala na ang isang munti ngunit napakaganda nating lungsod.  At ito po ay dahil sa walang tigil na pag-develop at pag-modernize sa Baguio, magbuhat po nung umpisang magsilbi sa lungsod si Apo Congressman Vergara at Mayor Domogan.  Iyan po ang aking personal na pananaw.  Nung sila po ay umupo, nagsimula pong mabenta ang mga lupain dito, naitayo ang mga di mabilang na subdivisions, umusbong ang libo libong iskwaters, naputol ang mga kahoy at nasemento ang bawat available na lupa u

I do – a Baguio girl to the bones and I hate what’s become of our city. Sure there’s nowhere for Baguio to go but the city it is now. Every place on earth has to become progressive and “citycized.” We cannot be a humble barrio forever. Baguio should be developed and made a hotshot city. Those are all the shitty stuff we were made to believe. And boy did we fall into it all. Now Baguio is progressive but we are not happy at all. We are sad because the progress we thought was good was the very same thing that ruined our beautiful city. And we can’t bring the same old pretty Baguio back. It’s really sad, it can even be depressing sometimes. A day doesn’t pass when I walk around our streets and don’t ask how Baguio ever became like this. Baguio is so small. One can ride around the whole of
