Catarman has no sidewalks


Catarman is the capital town of the Province of Northern Samar. But the town's sidewalks are far from being presentable, if at all existent. Some 5th class municipalities in Northern Samar are far more superior than Catarman's.

It is really a shame for Catarman as a provincial capital, it should be a good example for the rest of the province. What will first time visitors to the province will say. Shame...

On national tv, in its yearender GMA 7's investigative show, aptly called "Imbestigador" showed the Catarman airport as a rundown airport with pedestrians and vehicles using the airport runway as a road. The mayor of Catarman missed the point in the tv interview by complaining that there are only 3 flights to the province every week. What's with that. How about improving the airport and its security instead.

No wonder that Catarman has no working sidewalks.
