To Lito Atienza:

Before babbling and dabbling on national politics, can you please concentrate and clean up Radial Road 10 (R10)? You have already spruced up Districts V (in the hopes that Kim Atienza would be voted to Congress) and III, what keeps you from cleaning up Districts I and II (because you can’t win in those districts?).

If you run for senator, all the opposition has to do is to take pictures of the Vitas/Parola/Isla Puting Bato area, and show them to the whole world. Have a TV station shoot a documentary on the place. In fact, Baseco is in that area. Your opponents only have to highlight that fact.

When it is not raining, R10 is dusty, and canals are clogged and reeking. When it is raining, R10 is muddy, canals are overflowing and reeking. You cannot get into the decaying Temporary Housing without wading into the floods. And Smoky Montain has a kid brother – a new dumpsite is just across the road from the old site.

Sir, I beg you – attend to R10 and its environs. The people who live there are susceptible to diseases. Have mercy on your constituents. Stop suckering to Gloria Arroyo, even for a while, and give your attention to where it is needed. Thank you.
