Shedding a Tear for a Shed

On January 27, 2025, I told the Sangguniang Panlungsod to prioritize building and improving the waiting sheds in Victorias. The waiting shed (left of the photo) next to the Mormon Church is in their direct line of sight when they stand on the stage at the public plaza during every Monday's flag ceremony.

During a downpour or when the sun is scorching the land, the workers, students, and other commuters who are travelling south try to squeeze into the shed for protection. This has been the situation at the waiting sheds located: (1) in front of the public plaza, (2) next to the City Health Department, (3)(4) at the opposite sides of 'Crossing Central'. I also suggested that waiting sheds be built at the Coliseum area.

Today, March 19, 2025, as the city officials of Victorias sit at their own waiting shed that was lavishly decorated with white, red and blue colors and that only took a day to build while awaiting a parade, a group of commuters huddle inside the waiting shed across them.

The picture showing the small waiting shed that has been neglected for the years and the shed built for the city officials where they comfortably sit and be shielded from the sun and rain will make you shake your head and question the city's priorities.😭
