Don't quite see it yet? Here's a closer look.



If you are familiar with the area of EDSA - Harrison, you would have seen this "footless" bridge, in MMDA blue and pink diagonally crossing Harrison Street in Pasay. This "footless" bridge has been without stairs on both ends, rendering it useless, and has been so for more than two months since it first went up. This is admidst several tarpaulin banners along that stretch of EDSA announcing the infrastructure construction list under the faces of GMA, BF, Peewee Trinidad and another politician with a moustache whose name escapes me right now.

Lest the BF hornblowers think here she goes again pointing out the bad and ignoring the good, I would like to thank the MMDA for doing a good job of planting balete trees along EDSA. I can imagine them years from now, giving adequate clean oxygen and shade to people who may be walking along the pink-lined sidewalks.

I wonder though, if by some solomonic wisdom the MMDA has chosen to spend more on the chairman's facial tarpaulin banners than on finishing the footbridge, or moving the footbridge to a more strategic place. Like somewhere in front of Savers Plaza and the opposite side, where those big signs say "Walang Tawiran Nakamamatay."

You may have seen the newer versions of BF's tarpaulin banners announcing the nationwide rotunda design contest. Take note: nationwide. Ergo now Bayani Fernando has the excuse to put up his face anywhere in the country, because this is now a nationwide campaign. Tuso talaga tong BF na ito. Note also that the newest versions of the Metro Gwapo Tao Ganado (or what I'd like to call Metro Kwago Tao Ginagago) pink and blue signs on the walls in the metro now sport a third line that says "Proyekto ni Pangulong Gloria."

Is BF buttering up GMA for the post for which she has said she will not run again? Or is this a tacit pat of the sword on the shoulder of the Chairman from GMA?
