Yeah, US the snotty and snobby Guayaquileans are the ones who go to their beaches every single holiday and buy their ceviche and stay in their hotels and pay for their services and buy their souvenirs. They want us out? OK then they are not getting any of my money or my family's. That's going to come back and bite them in the butt when the touristic flow decreases thanks to that. And burning our Banner is just the icing on the cake of their stupidity. Don't come crying when there's lack of visitors and/or business.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35533247.post-41511574407130999222007-03-05T07:21:00.000+11:002007-03-05T07:21:00.000+11:00The move for creating the new province of Sta.

To date the city of Salinas in the Sta. Elena peninsula, is the most popular and developed beach resort in the country, but lacks public toilets for the crowded beaches, does a poor job of providing sanitation and public services due largely to poor administration of exisiting revenues. Due to such poor administration few educated middle-class citizens trust the local politicians with greater access to public money. Until now local mayors have coordinated lower class, poorly educated people to close highways, burn tires etc. hurting local business and industry, in misguided efforts to pressure the natl government for provincialization. With Correa the local politicians now have an ally.dandevillehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05533738064210812799noreply@blogger.com
