And put up a parking lot
With a pink hotel, a boutique
And a swinging hot spot

Back in our tropical paradise of over 7,107 islands big developers and corrupt officials are selling land off to acquisitive China and savvy business tycoons.
The recent controversy over closing Boracay and turning historic Burnham Park into a parking lot contests tribal ownership and heritage land.
The blatant disregard of our lawmakers and elected government officials is a sore spot that has turned cancerous and fatal for the preservation and upkeep of the country and its natural resources.
Everyone should educate themselves about the facts and issues posed so they can make their stand and save what we can before it is all lost to us and out future generations.
