The lack of self-awareness... or he simply doesn't care.

Its so difficult to talk to people who are so dead set against a person or does not even understand how the economy works.

Kahit anong galaw is "mali".

Bacolod city govt does the MassKara. National govt has little to do with it. Jr's just an honored guest because of the Office he represents.

As I said previously as President it is part of his job to say a good thing about any fiesta. When people attend they tend to buy things like food & drinks. That margins of these sales goes towards taxes & labor.

Tourism money is the cheapest way to help the economy of any province. Low skill and no skill people get hired for labor. So why deny them work?

Because of your say so?

Because "party ng party" si Jr?

Cooks, servers, farmers, dishwashers, DJ, musicians and other people get paid when people eat in groups or eat out.

How do you think the economy can improve if no one consumes? How do you expect to be paid for your labors if no one's gonna buy your time?

So why dissuade people with the discretionary spend to visit Bacolod and eat great Inasal?

Just because you & the people you know are in a financial bind does not mean that people like me or him are under that same constraint.
