My Country’s Race to FIRST WORLD

If the building of infrastructures can be a measure of a nation’s growth; my country is racing to the stars. Everywhere I turn; I see sky scrapers inching to the skies some of which are so tall – they seem to have reached the clouds. Noticeably; the mushrooming skyscrapers are sprouting everywhere as if the ground neglected for decades is finally fertile for growth.

We complain incessantly about the traffic but honestly; there are enough roads with elevated ones we appropriately call skyways that are rising everywhere from the ground. I see a future where the entire length of EDSA (equated with traffic) will be canopied by a skyway while subway mass transport system will be plying its underworld. With bad undisciplined drivers though – no road will ever be enough for a booming can-afford-a-car middle class.

Often times I wonder why the more we build massive malls in the Metro; the more people there are to congest them, patronize its signature shops and fill its restaurants and movie houses. Where are these people coming from?

Condominium towers that used to be meant for the rich and famous are mushrooming everywhere and the builders never runs out of buyers.


Are Filipinos that rich or are we just becoming newly rich with the young and the restless leading the race to a good life in the first century of the third millennium? I wonder…! Let no bad ‘next’ president spoil your dreams. Let’s keep racing to the stars…
