Planning for Mega Cebu's future.but!

Our presentation on Straight from the Sky is extra special as our guest, Dr. Judith Reisman, PhD, comes from the United States of America and is on her first trip to Asia. Dr. Reisman is in the forefront in the fight against the Sexual Revolution raging not only in America, but the rest of the world. I was lucky that last Feb. 4, she came to Cebu to speak in St. Theresa’s College (STC) and she agreed to have this interview with us.

 Dr. Reisman gave me her book “Sexual Sabotage” and a DVD dubbed “The Kinsey Syndrome.” She also wrote the book, “Kinsey, Sex and Fraud.” Dr. Reisman’s 40-year work against Dr. Alfred Kinsey began when he wrote that book “Sexual Behavior of the Human Male,” which was supposedly an experiment of the sexual behavior of men. But when Dr. Reisman looked deeper, it included sexual behavior even of toddlers as young as 4 years old. That brought into the quest of finding what Dr. Kinsey had been doing which led her to come up with her book in exposing the persona of Dr. Kinsey.

 What Dr. Reisman discovered was that Dr. Kinsey had been doing these experiments with children using reports by pedophiles. Yet it is appalling to know that the United States government and the United Nations (UN) use Dr. Kinsey’s book as its reference in curbing the world’s population or solving the AIDS problem. She even came to the conclusion that Dr. Kinsey was a sexual pervert and therefore is not the sexual scientist that should be used as reference for governments. It is a fact that many of the studies done by the proponents of the Reproductive Health (RH) Bill copy directly from the Kinsey report.

 So we hope you will find this interview with Dr. Judith Reisman very interesting. What I even found out after this interview was that, she may have sounded like a Catholic defending church doctrines, but I learned that she was a Jew, which makes her more credible. So watch this very interesting show on the Effects of the Sexual Revolution on SkyCable’s channel 15 at 8:00pm with replays on MyTV Channel 28 at 9:00pm.

 Last Thursday, I went to the College Assurance Plan (CAP) Theater for the Ramon Aboitiz Foundation’s (RAFI) Understanding Choices Forum entitled “Creating Future Cities: People and Place-Making” with Dr. AbdouMaliq Simone, an urbanist of the University of London, and Archt. Senen A. Antonio, who spoke about the trends of urbanization and the ill-effects of urban sprawl, that the cities of the world has grown into. This was organized by the Metro Cebu Development Coordinating Board, the USC College of Architecture and Fine Arts (USC-CAFA) and RAFI.

 Last Friday afternoon, we heard Archt. Senen Antonio give a briefing about the developments for Mega Cebu before the Metro Cebu Development and Coordinating Board (MCDCB) composed mostly of the mayors in the 13 cities and municipalities of Mega Cebu, which is from Carcar in the south to Danao in the north. After his briefing, everyone was able to express their hopes and their apprehensions on Archt. Antonio’s plans.

 To be perfectly honest, I really didn’t want to say anything simply because I have already been burned by such great plans, which we know too well get blocked or shut down by politicians. In the end, I was right when after the presentation of Archt. Antonio, the body ended up discussing what we’ve written in this corner 15 years ago for the need to come up with a Metro Cebu Development Authority (MCDA) along the lines of the Metro Manila Development Authority (MMDA).

 But when the Osmeña cousins, then Senator John “Sonny” Osmeña quarreled with then Mayor Tomas Osmeña, the Cebu version was shut down because of a turf war… meaning both wanted their “bata-batas” to run the MCDA. Yes, politicians quarreled over the control of this and it died out. Yet there is no question that there is a need for one.

 It was only when Bunny Pages asked me why I was silent when I spoke up and gave them my piece of mind on the presentation of Archt. Antonio. He drew a line on the coastal areas of the north-south corridor and noticed that there were no east-west lines. Little did the people attending the presentation at the Provincial Capitol know that we already wrote about this on a plan I was supposed to have given to then DOTC Sec. Arturo Enrile. Alas the DOTC Secretary died on the very week we were supposed to meet and discuss the creation of the railroad system in Mega Cebu.

 The railroad system I envisioned would have the rail lines constructed a half-kilometer inland away from the coastal road where land is cheaper and thus creating a new east-west road toward the old municipio. It creates a new development for each municipality and promotes new growth and development that could solve our unemployment problem. But then all those plans were waylaid because of ugly politics. So can we start it again?
