The Manila Baywalk was killed by Mayor Lim. What was all that about, then? Is he really worried about a few good-looking female band members showing-off their assets in public? (The offending assets being nothing more than a little bit of cleavage and the occasional glimpse of a naked belly-button. Shock! Horror!!) 80 Or was it just some petty politicking...? Trying to erase everything good that Lito Atienza left for the city of Manila to remember him by?? Oh! and another hair-brained scheme of Mayor Lim: ripping up that beautiful pedestrian walk-way in Avenida Rizal, Santa Cruz I would like to ask Mayor Lim a few questions: Is he in the slightest bit interested in developing the City of Manila as a worthwhile (and DECENT - despite his warped sense of what is and is not DECENT) tourist attraction? Does he give a toss about all the people he routinely puts out of work with his hair-brained schemes? And, just in case he really does care about those people - what is he going to do to help them find alternative and gainful employment? And lastly, in his no-doubt rare moments of self-reflection: what does he think he has achieved by turning the Manila Bay Walk into a graveyard? (I doubt that it can be much of a "muggers paradise," as one writer put it... Who the Hell are the muggers and pick-pockets going to prey on? Each-other? There is no one else there after dark these days...)
