I am truly upset to see these new security guards carrying weapons. Has this community fallen so far that we now need guards with guns? I, for one, am not comfortable with the message this is sending. I can only imagine what a potential homeowner would think. We are not living in Panama City where there is a crime issue. We are in Valle Escondido where we, as neighbors, used to get along, where we have always been safe from criminals because of the faithful and diligent guards we had through Bouquete Consulting Security. These guards patrolled our streets on a regular basis, never having the need to carry guns, always waving and smiling at the residents.
I am so dismayed to see how far we have fallen. I can't help but feel like I am now living under a communistic regime. We have absolutely no say in anything that transpires within our community, no say in how our money is spent, and we are considered as "3rd party" by the steering committee who is running rough shod over the majority of us homeowners.
I know we are living in Panama, but we should still have freedom of speech, but this steering committee does not allow that. If we don't agree with them we are not allowed at the HO meetings and should we stand up and protest then they demand security escort us out.
What will they do next to keep us quiet? When, do we, as Homeowners, say "we have had enough and we are not going to take it anymore."
We need to take back this valley, resume negotiations with Thalia for transfer of infrastructure, and go back to living peacefully and enjoying this beautiful place we call home and be thankful for what we have. Yes, and also thankful that Sam and Thalia saw the potential this beautiful valley had and developed it so we could all enjoy a peace of paradise.
