>>discussions about philippine urban futures
Welcome. This Blog...
...is mainly about urban development in the Philippines. I deal with urban planning, transportation and infrastructure issues.
My attention does wander to:- lessons from other megacities
- the future of cities
- the design of democracy
- the role of filipino architects
- the politics of public transportation
If you're looking for rants, better move on. I'm interested in solutions.
And, oh, if you must know, this is I, me and myself.>>Got ideas or questions? Send me email.

you could always join your friendly neighborhood putsch every 365 days or so. You might get to stay in a fancy hotel.
