Despite the horn-blowing of a few supporters, the project is so insane for so many reasons in a 3rd Class Component City that this senior cynic believes that it is a fake, so that when the real agenda is proposed, smart people will be so worn out that there will be no opposition. Like the same project, but built inland on the diversion road.

If Dumaguete's government spent as much energy on fixing this disintegrating city's problems of traffic, infrastructure, unemployment, failing businesses, electricity distribution, transport (what public transit?), sewers, we'd be way ahead.
