Public-Private Partnerships (PPP) Should Go Through a Referendum

Yung mga public-private partnerships (PPP) like the proposed Baguio-SM partnership dapat talaga dumadaan sa isang referendum. The people should vote on it. Let everyone cast his/her vote. Let democracy take care of the rest. 

Very problematic yung current sistema na it's the voting among the city councilors that will decide the matter. 

Yung public consultation kanina, less than one half ng city councilors ang present. Ano yun? Yung future ng public market for the next 50 years is at stake. Yung mga councilors ang boboto whether to proceed with the project. Tapos more than half sa kanila wala sa public consultation.

Keep in mind that the city council has until the second week of January next year to decide on the project. So it's very close.
