Have you ever been to Manila Bay? The place that is known for its
ever breathtaking view of the sun as it sets and seem to slowly disappear into
the waters.
For many years now, the Manila Bay has been a place wherein you can catch a
glimpse of a beautiful scene that would make you stop and just watch. It is one
of the places that is considered as something to take pride of as a Filipino.
This is because it isn't only enamoring us citizens but also tourists who come
from outside the country to spend their vacation here. This caused the area to
somewhat prosper as it gains more guests.
A few months ago, the local political figures in that area had disclosed their
plan in building a city on the waters of Manila Bay. They said that it would be
a city with lots of hotels and casinos that features it magnificent view of the
famous sunsets of the bay. It would be called "Solar City" because of
its sunset feature. And since it would attract a lot of tourists, it is going
to become a place where the people could find more jobs in the city. Thus, can
earn more money and could prosper more.
Yes. Everything they said was positive... but what about the negative side of
this? Although people can have more jobs in the city, those who don't live in
it would only lose more jobs since the tourists will most likely stay in a more
exciting place. Also, to build a city on the waters will cause the fishes
living in it to lose their homes. In line with this, the fishermen would find a
hard time to catch fishes. And last, the city would block the view of the
sunset from the people living in the bay. Alas, one of the most prized
treasures will be lost.
The facts have been laid out for you. The decision has not been made. Which do
you prefer? To prosper or to treasure?
