+ March 10, 2021 EVEN poor countries like Bangladesh have railway systems. Us, none. There was before but presidents after presidents kept dropping the ball. The Bicolanos had the Bicol express. The seniors will remember. From Tutuban in Manila people can take the train up to Damortis in La Union. It made several stops. In Malolos, San Fernando and then in Angeles. And from Angeles, my parents and me in tow will take us to its last stop in Damortis. From there a Baguio Auto Lines (BAL) bus will snake into the Kennon road. Baguio City deserved then its monicker: The City of Pines or The Summer Capital of the Philippines. Sad to say, it is no longer the city of pines. Over the years, it was bastardized. Failures of past leaders.
