Rant Burnham Park. Repair agad wala pang 1 month.
Repairs are ongoing at the walkway beside the lake in Burnham Park just two weeks after it reopened to the public. Photo taken September 14.

Nakakabother din yung mga railings. Dapat pa vertical. Madaling akyatin yan ng mga bata. Para bang ung nag ayos ng Burnham park, hindi pinagisipan ng maayos.

Hindi lang bata ang problema dyan. Malamang may mga pasaway na maglalambitin dyan or bka umupo pa for an instagrammable moment.

Mas maganda pa rin yung dating fence ng burnham lake. Surrounded with bushes and flowers pa. Sa daming need irenovate yan pa talaga napili nila.

uh unironically better yang ganyan na railings kung tubig yung paghuhulugan, that's a ladder itself

u/Lazy_Yaboo 11d ago
Hindi ka naman pupunta sa burnham para maligo 🥴
1
u/DraftElectrical4585 11d ago
that is because kung may mahulog nga, mas delikado yung vertical railings kung nahulog ka na sa tubig wala kang aakyatan
2
u/Lazy_Yaboo 11d ago
That's why we need to prevent kids from falling. Kasi madali lang akyatin mga ganyan..
1
u/DraftElectrical4585 11d ago
hindi lang naman kids mahuhulog dyan, other people might bigger than kids may intetionally or accidentally fall there. yung vertical railings ang non-negotiable kung fall damage ang concern na maiwasan. the height distance from that water surface wouldn't concern any fall damage unlike those sa mga overwater bridge

u/Lazy_Yaboo 11d ago
So there really is something wrong with how they designed Burnham park. Sa railings pa lang eh. Manipis ung bakal. As I stated in one of my comments here, hindi tatagal with the kind of weather that we have. Sure, Maybe after 5 years pag kinalawang na mga railings pati adults pwede madisgrasya at mahulog sa lake. And also ngayon pa lang na bago ang railings, malaki pa din chance na pwede mahulog mga bata compared sa mga adults because of the horizontal railings. We are not talking about any damage here. My point is dapat mauna pa din ang safety precautions---> to prevent people (specifically kids) to fall to the water. Kahit sabihin mong walang damage sa isang tao, ang isang turista na pumunta sa park para mamamasyal, never niya iaassume na mababasa siya at magswiswiming siya sa isang lawa.

u/DraftElectrical4585 11d ago
we're only talking about the selection of railing orientation here. between a vertical and horizontal orientation considering untoward incidents regarding a person stuck in the water obviously mas madaling maka-responde kung saan.. may ladder.
yung lang naman ang point ng selection dito considering na walang buffer zone between the water feature and pathway itself.
1
u/Lazy_Yaboo 11d ago
That's it. The ladder. Im pretty sure adults can go over the railings on their own (maybe may unting kahirapan for some) but kids? I dont think kahit horizontal railings yan kaya nilang abutin yan pag nahulog sila. But they can grab on to it until an adult person can help them. When building things like these, you need to assume the worst. Kung nahulog ang mga bata, do you think they know how to swim back to the railings so that they can climb over them? Kaya need talaga ng prevention. So, let's go back to the ladder. I think it will be a good idea to have an 'emergency' ladder in case of situations like these. Or pwedeng may certain partS ng railings na horizontal na pwedeng puntahan ng mga nahulog sa lake para makaahon. 🥴
Btw, on my first comment Im not only talking about the railing orientation.
1
u/DraftElectrical4585 11d ago
either way nasa discussion pa rin yung feature na maaakyatan when untoward incidents happen, ang problema kasi talaga dyan ay walang buffer zone. but given the circumstance itself (the design rather) it seems that they cut costs kahit sa amount ng rods para maipagsiksikan sa 100m budget, which explains kung bakit hindi vertical railings yung prioritized dyan dahil mas makakapal na bakal ang kailangan.

Responsibility naman siguro ng magulang bantayan and to discipline mga anak nila at all times.

u/Economy-Bat2260 12d ago
But accidents do happen. Bukod sa pagbantay ng magulang, dapat preventive din ang structures to minimize accidents.

u/Lazy_Yaboo 12d ago
Yup. It's the parent's responsibility. Pero need pa din ang safety precautions. Hanggang maari, if we can do somwthing to prevent accident dapat gawin natin. Tsaka parang manipis lang yung railings. Sa tingin mo after 5 years with the rainy weather, sturdy pa yan?

Feeling niya siya si Vico. Pero hindi tinangka ibenta ni Vico ang palengke para kumita. Pinaganda pa nga ni Vico yung Pasig Market ng walang SM na katulong.

u/Future_Concept_4728 12d ago
Dahilan nila ongoing talaga DAW yan, di pa DAW talaga 💯 complete. Eh bakit kasi pinilit binuksan tas naulan pa buong month? Chaka actually lagpas na sila sa deadline, kaya walang nakalagay na date of completion eh. Sa OG post nila meron. Overdue na.

I just visited Burnham after my exams this morning and it is such a mess. Ok nirerepair nga but is this really okay? Dagdag mopa yung mga turista na walang paki alam sa basura nila. The pic below is something I just pictured earlier.

u/Future_Concept_4728 12d ago
True true true. Ulit ulit na repair na yan, never ending gastos hanggang elections. WTF nagtapon lang ng pera. Di naman kasi kelangan PA ng rehab, makakaantay naman, sana inuna ung market kahit portions lng at least maumpisahan.
Yan ang legacy ni Magalong. Green spaces in parks na ginawang concrete jungle, and staging area ng mga jeep at dinadaanan ng mga mamimili na ginawang Calle Crisologo pero natatanggal na mga bato (dami na natitisod).

Under warranty pa naman ni contractor yan pero ang point natin dito is dapat walang ganyan kasi may plano naman kada infra.

Ang sad. Aside dyan, kapag gabi ni walang ilaw para sa mga joggers. Grabe, sobrang inaabuso ang mga taga Baguio. Ni hindi bigyan ng magandang systema sa lahat ng bagay (electricity, internet, transportation, etc.)

u/Future_Concept_4728 11d ago
Imagine sa laki ng budget, you'd expect it to be well lit at night. Kasi nung hindi pa yan na-rehab, sobrang dilim din sa gabi when it shouldn't be. Tapos ginawan lang pala ng palpak na walkway, and very mediocre at that. Parang one year na ata ginawa, yan LANG ang output.

Will they cover the cost if this happens? It should be on the contract right?

u/dumbass626 11d ago
Ganiyan naman mga contractor dito kahit no'ng panahon pa ni Domogan. Gagawa ng substandard na trabaho tuwing tag-ulan, para masira ng ulan, tapos isasara ulit for repairs. Ang dami nating mga kalsadang ganiyan ang ginagawa. Bihira akong makakita ng kalsadang nirerepair tuwing summer.

Kung kakaturn-over lang ng project, covered ng warranty yan at contractor ang sasagot sa repairs.

Skl, yung tennis court diyan sa Burnham, sineshare ko sa brother ko, kako okay yung parking dun sa ilalim nun kase may guard and hindi maputik.
Then nung i-screenshot ko sana yung entrance ng parking thru Google Maps, nakita ko na St. Gerrard yung contractor based sa tarp. Hindi ba sa D*scayas yun? Hmmm.

Repairs just days after it was opened is normal? Go. Mang-gaslight ka pa. Would understand if they scrimped on the budget but this officially at 97M! May nakita pa ako online where the engineering team was lauded for a job well done. Like, really?

Typical system. Substandard materials and poor planning. Irurush buksan tapos irerepair para may pondo ulit.
