billboard bleck!

If you're from Manila, you've probably gotten used to the sight of huge billboards surrounding the streets and blocking the skyline. Well, here's something from Tony, a Tokyo resident and fellow Pinoy who recently took a vacation in billboard land:

billboards there are crazy—capital U-G-L-Y. too many Smart/Globe billboards. why do 2 companies who are already sure of their market share have to pursue this ad war? Basura na yan e. imagine if they restrain themselves, the city will be cleaner, more pleasing to MY eyes, and they'd both still have their subscribers..and they don't have to spend too much for something U-G-L-Y. just improve their respective services—compete in that arena, and the people will know. i'm sure there are many ways they can be different from each other..

  • not only are billboards ugly, at times they are dangerous, too. The Philippines is a typhoon path and the billboard catches wind like a sailboat does. Those billboards are made of steelsheets and once torn from where it is fastened, can fly to places you cannot predict and poses hazards to humans and properties.
