MMDA Village

If you take the C-5 road from UP and go towards the Blue Ridge area you will see the same sight that I snapped on my camera – the MMDA village on both sides of the highway.


Before you reach the Quirino Labor Hospital you will see this spectacle of houses sporting the now-familiar MMDA pink and blue and white. These houses, of course, overlook the City of Marikina where the famous Chairman resides.

He is possibly so enamored by these colors to the extent that even urinals, road signs, pedestrian foot bridges and what-have-you sport the same theme. It is no secret that Chairman BF dreams of marching to Malacañang in 2010.

My cousin says, “OK lang, wala namang masama sa mangarap.” I am starting to wonder whether the good Chairman will go to great lengths to paint the whole country in pinks and blues, if and when he does get to the Palace.

I cannot help but ask myself – why appear to be in the pink of health when you are really experiencing the blues. Sounds like a paradox – something that I would rather not live with.
