Butuan City is known for its splendid historical events. Indeed, it is also known as the Timber City of the South due to its logging industry process but because of humans illegal practices it is sad to say the fact that the once known as Timber City had faded.. It is rude to accept that we've portrayed a betrayal in our beloved forest! And because of those illegal actions by man, the city is now suffering tragic such as demerits of trees that leads to Global Warming.
Another fact is that the continues increase of poverty that leads to more on going hardship.Because of it many people are now suffering hunger, homeless, jobless, uneducated and even sick.
Many children are now working at a very young age in order to survive the cruelty of the world. Instead of playing outside and having fun while they are still kids or even go to school to gain more knowledge, they would actually preferred to work so that they could sustain their needs and help their parents as well like what some kids used to do in the wet market "Langihan" or in the rice fields. People who just lost their jobs proceeds to illegal practices,rob banks and houses, rob innocent students etc just to survive as well sustaining their family needs. Other women even sold their purity and dignity just to earn more cash in a fastest way. Many government officials are steeling money from the fund of the people payed taxes. Instead of using it for the benefit of the city and to help the people,they used it for their financial purposes. They spend it for their personal necessities or even go abroad. Where is the justice there? They supposed to render their services for the city's progress. How come they always promise things that are made to be broken.
Other than that, some people used to discriminate Butuan because the place has no improvements at all. All I can say towards to those have judge mental mentalities is that Butuanons has a simple way of living. We are proud of our culture that we expressed during our colorful festivals and we have a good agricultural foundation. We are living peacefully despite all those deficit. We are proud to present our new structures that is really indeed one of a kind like our new second bridge.
And now, many are abuse because of mans greediness towards power and money.
What is happening in our society now? Do we have to wait before its to late for us Butuanons? We need Change! And I believed that change must start within ourselves!
Let us fight for our right! Let us Break our silence! Report those abusive people. Make a move for the better and progress.
