Our town used to look orderly. Well, that was long long time ago when neighbors knew each other. Even those living in far away barrios or islands were somehow related to someone living in Poblacion.
Those were the days when people knew people.
Now, the landscape has of course changed. From 20,000 inhabitants, there are now 300,000 according to someone working at the munisipyo.
I hope the exponential jump mean progress and not chaos.
