Ah, the saga of Captain’s Peak Garden and Resort in Sagbayan, Bohol, continues to unfold like a poorly written soap opera. With structures looming at the feet of the iconic Chocolate Hills, it’s a spectacle that could only be appreciated by those with a taste for architectural blasphemy.
As investigations kick off into how such a monstrosity was given the green light, rumors swirl like confetti at a circus. The Villar family’s Camella Homes, famed for its cookie-cutter suburbs, is rumored apparently to have its sights set on a Chocolate Subdivision. How delightful! Because what better way to honor natural wonders than by paving over them with cookie-cutter homes and calling it progress?
It’s a slapstick comedy of errors, where greed trumps conservation and concrete conquers nature. Fun times indeed, for those with a morbid fascination for ecological absurdity.
In a surprising twist of bureaucratic incompetence, the Philippine Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR) has finally mustered the energy to acknowledge the glaring violation of environmental laws by a resort conveniently nestled beside the majestic Chocolate Hills of Bohol.
As the internet explodes with outrage, DENR’s belated statement serves as a futile attempt at damage control, reminiscent of a janitor mopping up a spilled milkshake after the cow has bolted the barn. One can’t help but wonder, did the DENR misplace its magnifying glass or were they too preoccupied playing hide-and-seek with their responsibilities?
The sight of a towering resort being built amidst nature’s marvels begs the philosophical query: which came first, the chicken or the egg?
It’s a tragicomedy of errors, showcasing the efficiency of government agencies in promptly turning a blind eye, perhaps conveniently blinded by the allure of undisclosed party favors.
Bedbugs in a suitcase with things. Carrying bedbugs in a suitcase from a trip. Cimex lectularius is a type of domestic blood-sucking insect.
Ah, the illustrious Ninoy Aquino International Airport, where the hospitality extends even to the tiniest of guests – bed bugs!
While travelers have long braced themselves for the airport’s infamous shortcomings, the latest addition of bloodsucking companions takes discomfort to a whole new level.
Could this be a deliberate ploy to further tarnish the country’s reputation or a covert attempt to sabotage the “Love the Philippines” tourism campaign? Perhaps “tanim-surot” has indeed replaced the infamous “tanim-bala” scam, showcasing the airport’s knack for innovation in all the wrong ways. Or could it be nature’s vindictive response to humanity’s environmental transgressions, a reminder that even in the concrete jungle, Mother Nature always has the last laugh?
Whether these bed bugs were planted or hitchhiked their way into the terminals remains a mystery, but one thing is certain – navigating through NAIA has become a veritable game of survival of the itchiest.
