I don't even know why these officials waste their time on this matter instead of focusing on more important issues at hand and besides changing seals, street names etc etc would only contribute in losing our identity, heritage and our rich history. as the saying goes "onli in da Pilipins"... it's just sad..

here's an article I've read in SunStar and I do hope you guys would read it in it's entirety so you would know what I meant:

Sunstar Essay: Language of streets
By Erma M. Cuizon
Sun.star Essay

A tourist calls a Cebuano friend for help; he was getting lost somewhere downtown. The friend says, “Calm down, walk to the nearest corner and tell me what street you’re on.”

But this doesn’t happen here. You can’t be sure of finding a street name where you are or a name with more meaning than Mango or Apple.

If you’re taking a ride on a street that’s new to you, your tendency is to look at the life in the side streets, then the street name next.

Or if you, as native of Cebu, get to see a street name and it’s unfamiliar, you know you’re looking at one newly installed in the flurry of street-name changing among legislators the way they split provinces or barangays.

They should take this seriously.

wtf? why are these officials so mediocre?!

[klavel]

i think there's no need to revise the seal...what's the problem with it anyway!!!!?! it has aged and been part of the history...it only proves that they have been doing nothing aside from making minor issues such as revising street names and now this! (what a waste of money and time!)...as sooo stupid!!!

[yok_yok]

i agree with klavel.. instead of planning, doing it so why would they just focus their attention how to improve peoples living..
