Concrete flowerpots on pedestals with flowers placed at regular interval along the sides of the major roads of Antipolo City were part of the Antipolo Clean & Green Program. They were supposed to beautify the city. But look at these flowerpots now: abandoned, broken, without flowers, or with grasses. 
Constantly passing through Sumulong highway and Taktak road, and looking at these flowerpots, one regretfully wonders how much of the people’s money was spent on them? Was this project well-thought before implementation? Was there ever any plan to maintain them over the long term? Did the previous municipal administration ever thought that succeeding local administration would sustain the project? OR Was this project simply a scheme to lose track of the people's money through a "legal" disbursement?
On the other hand, these flower pots eventually found some use, albeit not the purpose for which they were put there in the first place: broken posts can serve as a footrest for weary bikers, or a stable platform to lay down the “food” for sale on the road side.
