EDSA Guadalupe Mother of all Billboards


Indeed, is at his vilest when he throws a billboard in front of beautiful scenery. The dismantling thereof is therefore a reason for exultation for people like me who think that Metro Manila is already blanketed by tarpaulins of various shapes and color.

I was Googling more items on billboards in the metropolis when I came upon a post by a certain Lloyd Tronco, who seems to have recorded a feat about billboards and outdoor advertising in the Philippines in his blog, http://outlookph.blogspot.com .

In one of his posts, Tronco mentions about the resumption of dismantling of the EDSA Guadalupe "mother of all billboards". This is a relief to those who want to see more greens on the highway. The removal of the billboard will soon expose the verdant side of the San Carlos Seminary. Furthermore, it reveals the statue of Christ which has long been obscured by advertisements for Coca-Cola, Nokia, and Sony.

EDSA Guadalupe will never be the same again. Thank God.
