I grew up in the city known as the CITY OF WHALES.
I could still recall what the city was when I was in elementary and highschool. Each new year is welcomed by the Ati-ati festival which was later changed to the Wolrd famous Dinagsa, that's according to the city's claim.
It was always a week long celebration full of color and merry activities. I remember Streetboys visiting my city for 2 consecutive years and some hot actors and actresses from MNL. And geez I even danced with the SB...something I should be proud of somehow....LoLz!
The city's year ender was also something to look forward to coz it was not only for a day but celebrated for the whole month of December. Terrace Garden Resto, as far as I know is the place to be shud u want to go dancing. Disco with Double Jam mobile? Hmm... and attendance of every party peps' a must. Those were the good ole' days......
Cadiz has its own way of celebrating life. It might not be a filthy rich city but its (WAS) progressive in its own way. Fishing being the booming business along with its dried fish industry which is what Cadiz is famous for. And what else? A li'l bit of Tourism. And some might not know it but Agriculture adds to the city's gross income.
And not to forget the little issues with some local politicians. The mockery on some infamous character behind the walls of the Hall. But, everything was under control.
Today, my city is no where to be found...its like it was wiped out of the history of Negros.A comparison to "ATLANTIS" minus its gold. What lies beneath is its doomed beauty.
Local police officers prided themselves for the LOW/ NO crime rate in the city. Why low crime rate? Thats because any crime done was never reported, will never be reported, quite a few maybe.
You could check our local BJMP. The youngest criminal in prison is 14 and the oldest? Late 20's. Amazing story to be shared. Something 1 can never be proud of. The very old are now dead or pro'ly in Munti.
Gang War usually happens ( like its normal a thing to happen ) during fridays or saturdays, as far as my survey is concerned.Im open for corrections.
And when you say gang war, it really is a war. You'd be afraid to walk down the streets coz if " them gon like you, ye'al end up in a ditch yea dig? yea brotha! welcom to the ghetto!"
I may sound overrated but yes corruption strikes like lightning and wipes out all resources in our city. My mother was one of the 166 illegally terminated employees by the infamous Ex-mayor. 3 years of no work no pay, You can just imagine the hell we've been through. 3 years after, whats left of 166 is 160 human beings still striving to survive.
2 years ago before I get to work in TP, 6 died will waiting for the compensation due for them. 166 Broken dreams. Its like a death list.
NOW....my nanay's back to work along with some of what's left with the once 166 who braved themselves to fight for survival. After numerous trips to trial court and after the most battled Election that got the current mayor to his seat, finally they're all back to the job they love.
Its been 3 terms for the current Mayor but you know, A PROMISE IS A PROMISE IS A PROMISE AND WILL FOREVER BE A PROMISE....Nothing more only less. And we are getting less and less each and every year. Typical and usual thing to expect after putting them on their throne.Need i say more?
We could only hope for a better outcome.
LEAD THEM NOT INTO THE UPCOMING TEMPTATION AS THEY ARE ALREADY TEMPTED.....AND DELIVER US FROM EVIL.....
NOTE: Violent reactions not allowed.This is how I see my city.Im just painting a better picture from the ALREADY ugly one. LoLz!
