Robinsons Place Danger Zone

   As of this week, another victim of the Batangas Grand Terminal was injured, the third since it opened last December.

   Last Monday, 14 year old Emma from Banaba, was hit by a car while crossing the highway! The HIGHWAY!  According to Land Transportation Franchising and Regulatory Board, public terminals are not supposed to be placed near a busy street to ensure the safety of commuters.

   The Grand Terminal is situated not only on a busy street! IT’S IN THE MIDDLE OF THE HIGHWAY!

Emma is just the third victim of the killer highway since the grand terminal started. Last January, a male commuter was killed when he was hit by a truck while crossing the highway.

   Last February, a member of the TDRO was rushed to the hospital when he was hit by a  speeding car. Emma is the third victim of the dangerous terminal.

Situated in the Diversion Road, the grand terminal is just beside the 5-hectare land that Mayor Vilma Dimacuha’s son RD and son-in-law Marvey Mariño are selling to the Gokongweis.

   The Gokongweis are planning to put up the Robinson’s mall there, in the middle of the diversion road.

   One of Robinson’s considerations to put up a mall is that the place should be a commercial area and frequented by people, that’s why RD and Marvey wants all the people to go to the grand terminal, no matter how far it is. No matter how out of way it is.

   NO MATTER HOW DANGEROUS IT IS.  Hence the first and only ROBINSONS PLACE DANGER ZONE!  

   Wanna go shop? And die? This version of Robinsons surely doesn’t need the SAWA to scare people.  It’s already deadly in the danger zone!!!!!!

   Marvey, who is planning to run for congressman, would certainly get more than P50 Million in the deal with Robinsons.  RD would get more than  P50 Million too from the sale of the land.

   For now, Marvey’s challenge to any politician who want to run as congressman in the next election is to top his more than P50 Million budget in the election campaigns to buy votes from people who don’t even know Marvey exists.

   If Marvey wins, it would look like we were twice victims of his scam—he got his money for using people and exposing them to danger and will use that money to buy votes from people who he will use again to get more government funds.

   The Dimacuha political dynasty has been fooling the Batanguenos since 1988.  Now they are not just fooling, but also putting us in danger.

For now, three people have been hurt in the terminal in the middle of a danger zone.

Until when are we going to wait until one more gets hurt? Or killed?
