Conspiracy Theory: Railway Conspiracy Mindanao
Mindanao is a place of abundant natural resources, beautiful
spots and agricultural products, but why isn’t it progressive? One of the
problems would be accessibility from city to city. This hampers tourism and
transport of goods the current transport system which requires the use of
highways with bad roads more expensive to travel for anyone.
Mindanao was proposed to be connected by railways. It was
part of its proposed developments since way back but political clans owning
stakes in businesses like bus liners realized their businesses would be
affected if railways opened. If the transport of goods would be easier to the
general public they will lose majority of their market share in the transport
sector. That’s why we don’t have railways in Mindanao. It is because a few
people blocked its development for their own agenda. Railways could drastically
improve the economy by the free flow of goods from city to city and giving easy
access to tourist spots. That means more
people would financially happy, which also means fewer rebels and fewer
insurgents. Plus the cheap transportation and cost of goods would get the
investors flocking. Education reaching remote areas would eventually lead to
the creation high value products which will further reduce our need to exploit
the natural resources. Currently students have to cross mountains and bodies of
waters on foot just to get to their school wasting valuable study time. Good
transportation will lead to fast development. It’s like giving the body new
arteries to provide the body with much needed nourishment.
The needs of the many far outweighs the wants of a few.
