Re: Alaminos Builds own hotel
Miss Lara Lee: I am glad that you bluntly stated your observations and I hope other people will follow. I hope the powers that be will listen.
Several posters before had expressed the same observation especially when the city administration thinks that an airport instead of sanitary infrastructures will make the Hundred Islands as an international tourist destination.
I was criticized for being critical of their project planning like embarking on dreamer’s projects- \ferry boat service, underwater city (Atlantis), airport, and now the Hotel.
I believe that it is the corrupt minds of these people who are in charge that dictate their decisions and it is sad that a precious natural resource and beauty will just go to waste. If they will not install the appropriate type of sanitary facilities, then those islands will stink with human waste and even those beautiful and clean beaches will be laden with algae, infested with rats, flies, cockroaches, and other unpleasant pests. It then becomes expensive and almost impossible to reverse or correct such condition.
Basic infrastructures to these corrupt officials do not give them enough money for their pockets, so they always look for mega projects. There are no real passionate people there who really want to preserve their environment and their heritage, only people who want big money. I am wondering how can they maintain a hotel, airport, ferry boat service, underwater city if they cannot even maintain those simple basic facilities in those islands.
