Best Posts in Thread: That's my man

Even on the Boulevard, across from Casablanca, et al....several years ago I was walking, enjoying the beautiful morning, and I saw a gentleman disappear into the side of the wall by the ocean. I wondered what he was doing in there (there was a water outlet). Next thing I saw poo come rolling out in the water into the ocean. Yep, I guess that is a restroom under there!! Word to the wise...do not swim, (or wade, or anything else) in the water on the boulevard!!

 

In some degree I would agree with Duterte. No sewage treatment on the island is the biggest issue. The missing waste management the next issue. Both issues need to be fixed ASAP.

 

Probably unrealistic, doesn't this same problem exist all over the Philippines, especially in smaller towns? You think all those large hotel owners creating these issues want to invest in the solution? Maybe when it starts effecting their bottom line. This is also a problem of saturation and over population. They should have managed the buildup years ago. I wish them luck.

 

Definitely a huge difference in population and hotel rooms. I was there 2 years ago and prior to that 15 years ago. Seems like nothing good ever lasts........
