i just made this account to respond to a post on tondo and gensan is. was browsing the internet on pacman news and found this forum. would just like to say that said post is a pure and blatant lie. i'm a filipino from bogo, cebu (bisaya) and i travel a lot (mission work.) i've been round the philippines catering to the poor and needy and sharing our beliefs. tondo is a very poor area. with a high crime rate. but it's not as worse as this poster tries to portray. mayor lito atienza has done a fair job on tondo with barangay tanods(a group of unarmed gentlemen who travel in groups and watch out for any signs of criminal activity and relying on their number to prevent a crime by use of physical force) and police in uniform all around the area to prevent the common crimes such as robberies and the occassional gang fights. but it's not like everyday someone gets killed in tondo which people from there would like you to believe. it's all manly talk coz people love to brag how tough they are if they're from tondo. the occassional crime gets way overblown that you're made to believe it's a daily occurence. and regarding children with guns? yes it's true but it's a plastic toy that shoots a plastic pellet. even adults play with those toys and carry them around. it shoots a plastic pellet which stings a bit, but is nowhere near deadly- but had some reports of people losing their eyesite coz of misuse- and it costs roughly 20 pesos which is around 50 US cents at the current exchange rate. so hope i killed all the exaggeration regarding tondo. i've stayed there for months helping the poor, teaching the out-of-school youth. cubao, quezon city on the other hand, has an even higher crime rate than tondo. with the daily robberies and occassional killings. but the worse crime i've witnessed from cubao lately is a hostage situation, a guy ran amok who thankfully got killed by the police instead of his poor screaming victim. but again, these are all occassional. not a daily occurence in any way.
and regarding general santos city also know as gensan, there's a vast majority of ******s in the area, but the place is generally peaceful with law abiding citizens. the place is still controlled by the philippine government, with armed men in military fatigues patrolling the area daily. no such thing as civilians carrying firearms. there's a warzone in mindanao, those ****** rebels fighting government troops, but it doesn't occur in the the towns. they do it in the mountain jungles where all these rebels are in hiding. again, occassionally, they send undercover forces (composed of mostly two individuals) to the neigboring towns to terrorize the masses by planting explosive devices, but it's not a daily occurence as military intelligence are quick to thwart their evil deeds. but sadly, they occassionally still manage to succeed in their evil work thus we hear of this bombings in market places etc. but for a single town near the mountain areas, they might get hit twice a year on average. but again, it's not a daily occurence. you visit general santos city now, the only armed men you see are government troops. not civilians and an emphatic no! no one shooting you to death coz of a stare. you'd likely get in a fistfight though- even knife fights are occassional.
in ending, i don't have a beef with above poster. just wanted to say the truth regarding tondo and gensan. regarding mexico, i've never been there so i don't have anything to say bout morales' hometown.
so i hope pacman wins this fight. he's the pride of filipino's from around the globe. even the rebels and government troops at war agree to stop fighting for a day just to witness pacquiao's fight. and both celebrate when pacman emerges as the victor. if only manny had a fight everyday, then maybe the philippines would finally be united. so sad but true. mabuhay ka manny pacquiao!Last edited by brojess; 11-18-2006, 01:45 PM.Comment
