What makes a place poor?

Economics? Peace and order situation? Indios? :)

What makes a place rich?

Economics? Peace and order situation? Educated Indios? :)

How come the 21st century Smokey Mountain is not the same as the Smokey Mountain of the 80s?

What changed?

How did the change start?

Was it having Geneva Cruz join a singing group and belt out Kailan? :)

Or was it Sharon Cuneta saying, "Pasan ko ang daigdig!"?

Why do we know the stories of 80s Smokey Mountain?

Why do we know what's currently happening in Smokey Mountain?

Google?

Why can it be Google-ed?

Who decided to write about it so that it can be Google-ed?

Why write about Smokey Mountain when one can write on other things?

And who decided to read about it?

Did change happen because someone wrote about it?

Read about it?

Does it mean for change to happen, the situation's story must be written? Told? Read?

Must it be made visible?

So, what makes a place poor? Rich?

Economics? Peace and order? Indios? Educated Indios?

Stories?

Visibility?

So, is this a case of "...it's better to light a candle than to curse the darkness?"

So, why are we, we? :)

Are we visible to ourselves? :)

May my eyes be open that I could see, Lord...

"... why think like mere men?"
