Canadian Trash sailing home after a 6-year vacation in the tropics.

The overstaying Canadian rubbish is finally on its way home to its North American country of origin after a 6-year vacation in the tropics.

But not after an odorous trash talking from President Duterte before the world.

As it sails back to Canada, several stinking truths are exposed.

First is that the Philippine President has shown his oversized political balls while his Canadian counterpart has probably misplaced his, if ever he has any.

Second, A first-world country is exporting its household trash to developing nations across the ocean. Apparently, some were sent to Malaysia too and who knows where else!

Third, for the indecisive Canadian government to slumber on the issue for six long years is disrespectful and insulting to the citizens of the Philippines.

Even the Canadian people are unhappy with their government. A random interview among residents of one Canadian city reveal their dissapointment for the way things were handled by their bureaucrats.

Regrettably, it has become a world headline and they are at the receiving end of unsanitary jokes and memes.

The ship with 25,000 ton trash load is expected to arrive in two weeks time. It is not clear yet what fanfare is prepared for the symbolic homecoming. For sure it has developed a nice tan by now, after sunbathing in warm Philippine sunshine for a long time.

In exchange for the hospitality extended to its overstaying garbage, Canada needs to make an apology.

Update on SM Cebu Arena

“But the feverous excitement got doused by cold politics…”

The long wait is almost over. We will soon be able to watch the Golden State Warriors play live against another NBA team right here in Cebu. Prepare some popcorn and root beer then read on..

Construction of Cebu Arena, a world-class, NBA standard indoor sports venue is finally commencing soon.

Different sources reveal that the stalled project is about to make up for lost ground and opportunity wasted in the years that the plan was shelved.

News of an SM Cebu Arena first floated around 2013 and instantly captured the imagination of Cebuanos. Many were looking forward to a wide grin selfie with an NBA game in the background.

But the feverous excitement got doused by cold politics or more aptly, by cold hearted politicians. With a formidable resistance from somewhere between the floors of the city hall, bleak future confronts the project.

Cebu Arena is part of the masterplan of SM Prime in the South Road Properties (SRP) together with SM Seaside Mall, Cebu Oceanarium and a multi-tower complex.

When completed, hopefully soon, 16,000 people can be comfortably accommodated, slightly lower than the 20,000 seating capacity of the Mall of Asia Arena in Pasay City.

Cebu has many attractions and facilities but unfortunately not a world-class arena yet. In fact, since time immemorial, Cebu Coliseum has always been the only venue for big sporting contests including boxing and basketball, a place that has seen better days.

It is long overdue for Cebu to have a modern coliseum that can proudly showcase the skills and talent of the Queen city.

Hopefully with the newly elected leaders, politics will take a sidestep or maybe take a vacation for a while so much needed infeastructure like SM Cebu Arena can proceed smoothly.

Here’s the latest design of Cebu Arena.
