Reposting here the comments of Hiroshi Miyazaki because they resonate with those concerned whether the Cebu City CLUP/ZO included the people to be affected by the proposed plans or not.

Hiroshi Miyazaki is “a Japanese video game music composer/sound designer/musician (sometimes referred to as Matsuri Wakasugi/Miyashiro Sugito/Hiromiyazaki/or simply MIYA), best known for his work on Tecmo video games (Captain Tsubasa series for the Super Famicom), music for the Monster Rancher/Deception series and Soumatou (known in North America as Deception III: Dark Delusion).”

Highlights of his comments:

“Entertaining a group of people is no better or worse than entertaining just one person and making that individual happy. For example—this happened the other day—I have this funny-looking little three-wheeled red car which I use for my daily commute.

“(While parked downstairs), a small child stopped in his tracks, staring open-mouthed, his eyes popping out with amazement. Eventually, the boy drew closer and closer, little by little, and, extended his hand as if to touch it.
