Stop Smoking in the Streets of BGC!

I love BGC! The air is a lot fresher than in Makati perhaps because there are more wide and open spaces and trees.

Our office moved to BGC in 2011, the time when there are still a lot fewer people, there's an absence of queue in the bus stations, and there's no traffic jam at McKinley going to Ayala-EDSA. Fast track to three years and all those changed faster than a blink of an eye. Too many people now, perpetual queues in bus stations, buses that take ages before they arrive, and horrible traffic jam.

With the flock of office workers and residents now in BGC comes expected 'sanitation' issues that I hoped BGC anticipated and start to manage. I used to complain about lack of trash bins not just in BGC but elsewhere in the metropolis which I believe is the cause of trash being thrown just about anywhere. 

I have noticed a few weeks ago that BGC has been installing more and more trash receptacles around the area. Good thing...or not. Unfortunately, this gave smokers permission to smoke in the streets of BGC which I hate! Worse, some do not even bother to throw their cigarette butts in the trash can. I wish BGC can be more like Davao in banning public smoking! After all, they're encouraging joggers in the area and open smoking in their streets does not fit into that proposition.

 

Please. Stop smoking in the streets of BGC!
