In PR during elections when you vote take the time to ask the politicians how he feels about such situations and what he would do to protect our land from new development as land is now very limited and that he must not sell out!

      I agree w you Mayra but its something very difficult to do as I have also experienced. They call it progress in many cases here this case apparently an individual looking to make as much as he can for some land he has no use for or can't afford the expense of doing something w it.. PR has many abandoned complexes on prime land that they could very well clean up and rebuild rather than walking away from them. Puertoricans need to demand from our politicians to keep our land away from new development as land is limited and so much of whats in place can be remodeled, the channel LifeTransPlanet just showed a condo in which development was stopped because of the people speaking up ruclips.net/video/ckr7W-cA6SI/видео.html however it was way too late as the construction is close to finalized. So again We must demand from our politicians to not Sell Out to industry as land is very limited presently,. In times of elections we must heavily question the candidates (all of them either for mayor, governor or any representative) how they intend to not sell out to industry and protect what we have left from industry.. We all must know who we vote for, so question them thoroughly and expect answers we can hold them too.

I just visited O’ahu Hawaii and learned a few things that they have in place that I wish Puerto Rico had. For example, by law all beaches are public in the islands. In one of their bays, in order for visitors to be able to swim in it, they must watch an informational video, before swimming in it. People have a strong sense of belonging and respect for their natural resources, everyone protects their land and areas. Hopefully through information and more people like you, PR can have a “cambio sociocultural” para que cuidemos lo

    As far as I’m concerned, sovereignty is the only solution that will not only guarantee the preservation of the islanders culture…but will also provide them with the option to govern their lives as they see fit. I’m Puerto Rican/descendent of Spain by heritage. But even I have enough sense to admit that I’m way too Americanized to get involved in Puerto Rico’s politics as it’s never been our call to make.

      The composition of the USA as well as Puerto Rico's is that of immigrants from different nations. For that matter, even though our first founding fathers are spanish, we are as much americans as any american on the USA mainland. For that matter, it is time that Puerto Rican's make up their minds and be seriouly persistant. That is, if they really want to become a state of the USA. Unfortunately, some just want the aids and don't value their US citizenship. What a shame!! We are as much entitled to every given right, because we have a part of the USA experience in many ways even if born in Puerto Rico. One of these is having participated in most every conflict and war the USA has been involved in. There were even puertorrican soldiers in the USA Civil War. My granffather was a WWI army soldier. With that being said, this status matter most certainly needs definition. Puerto Ricans are no less qualified than the people of this United States of America. By the way our ethnicity also includes blacks from Africa, comming to Puerto Rico as slaves and Native Taino. So. Yes, we are Americans.😄🥰🌹

      @@younglord00 so you think that it would be in Puerto Rico's best interest to be self governed or independent? I don't think that would work or that it would be a good idea, because in all this time , what Puerto Rico has accomplished has been because of USA intervention and help since 1898. Proof that I'm right is if you look around those islands like Cuba, Haiti etc... They live in total stricken poverty and misery. People are subject to having to accept what little is given to them along with their rights being violated (communism). I know this for a fact, because I have students at the school I work at, that came from there, talk about it. You should hear what the ones that have come from Venezuela have to say. I have co workers that abandoned everything in Cuba, because they saw no future for their families. So, I am not saying that this here is total perfection, because it's not. Then again, you have better oportunities and have the freedom to be , expression and choice. So, no, independence would certainly not help Puerto Rico have a better economy. Only certain puertorican elite group would be in control of economy and anything else. Middle class would disappear and puertoricans would be trapped in not being able to leave the island whenever they chose to reach out for job opportunities and a better quality of life. It would unfortunately be total chaoes, dissaster. This is how I see it and how many other puertoricans see it. Then again, you and everyone else is entitled to their opinion.

    Tremendo trabajo! Being a Peruvian (but also a Boricua for a bit) I always worry about all those surreptitious movements that greedy grabbers do when nobody is watching. Now I really want to visit that beautiful place in this video. Great work, and global warming is real. Read a book called A World Without Ice written by a University of Michigan professor named Henry Pollack written in 2009 if interested, the science is there! A lot of P.R. will be underwater when all the ice melts in 20-50 years. Feliz Octubre!

    Seriously good journalism, really appreciated this video. It’s been a dream of mine to one day live in PR but I hadn’t given much thought to how my presence or purchases could affect the lives of the locals. Definitely a lot to reflect on and think about.

    May God/dess bless you for all your incredible work! It is very moving and emotionally evocative. My wife grew up in Arecibo as a little girl, until her early teens, when she moved back to the States. Her family has been on the island for 100s of years, (her abuela was idigenous,) and so it is her, as well as our son's heritage, (he has video editing skills, by the way - I am but a mere writer.) Therefore to whatever small part of your efforts we could contribute, would be an honor. Many, many blessings in all your endeavors. cwy

Fun fact When im here im labeled Puerto Rican when Im there Im labeled the gringa lol Im ok with that...Ha! I would love to be as rooted as you are there in PR. Being on the island is my tranquility. I tear up when I get there, I tear up when I take off from there (Im a FA). Im living my passion through you now, now that Ive found your channel. GB may the Father protect you in all your moves

    Aloha Blanca,
    I’m a Puerto Rican who lived in Maui, Hawaii, until just recently. What you are talking about in this video is what happened today in Lahaina, Maui. The natural aquifers have been disturbed and are in the hands of the hotel owners and the government, not the people! I hope it’s not too late for Camuy, as it’s one of the places that I call home. I hope this helps!

      I’m one of those Puerto Ricans born and bred in NYC and it’s suburbs. I’ve also lived and worked in PR twice; for two and three years respectively.
      As I sit here in Queens reading these comments, I can only shake my head in dismay - and dare I say it - disgust.
      That any Puerto Rican with an ounce of dignity or self respect, cannot appreciate or support the efforts of this talented reporter, is lost on me.
      Living “in the the belly of the beast” all my life, (which coincides with experiencing systemic racism AND blatant racism since childhood), supporting independence for PR my entire life - to me - came naturally!!!
      On those occasions during which I’d have to hear Anglos spew: “go back where you came from”, my retort was: “Sure. But ONLY - and not UNTIL - every ANGLO is OFF the island of Puerto Rico! (A pretty equitable and evenhanded proposition I always thought. ) 🤷🏻‍♀️
      While I wholly expect flack for this post, I can care LESS!!
      This is MY experience growing up in the belly of the beast which I still APTLY refer to as AmeriKKKa. I am NOT inclined to - nor will I - minimize it.
      Do I hate Anglos? Unequivocally no! ONLY those racist arrogant ones, who like their European ancestors, continue to EXPLOIT and wreak havoc to countries of color under that delusion of white privilege.
      Another PRIME example:
      AUSTRALIA!!!!!!
      Que VIVA PUERTO RICO LIBRE FOLKS!!!!! Plain and simple! 🤷🏻‍♀️
      And To this eloquent articulate Puerto Rican reporter:
      KEEP UP YOUR WONDERFUL WORK AND PASSION
      AND!!!!
      TRY TO JOIN RANKS WITH THE TWO PROGRESSIVE GIANT JOURNALISTS OF THE PEOPLE
      AMY GOODMAN and JUAN GONZALEZ!!!!!!!!

    Ms. Bianca, this is nothing new. As always, PR laws exists, but unfortunately not applied. I'm the grandaughter of a WWI soldier and I lived in Puerto Rico for many years and saw so much fraud and mishandling of things that it was unreal. Sadly, even though Puerto Rico has come a long way, I think it will always remain the same. There's a lot of politics and corruption involved, but some people there live like in a sort of daze, and have gotten to the point were they are used to this poor quality of living standards along with violaton of rights. It's a shame, because it is such a beautiful island. Right now I have land, a parcel inheretance of my father, that I don't know if someone has unlawfully taken it. I say this, because of the way things run there. I live and work in Florida state and cannot maintain this property. Tried to up date it and the person, relative, stole our money. It's really been a mess trying to keep this property. Anyway, I thought your documental was extremely informative. I hope that you'll accomplish your goals. 🥰🌷

    I’ve been to PR 5 times. The last time I went 3 times to the airport in a week and could not leave! It took 30 + mosquito bites in 2 days to force me out and Trump’s first travel ban caused a huge protest at LAX upon landing which caused a 3 hour delay to depart the airport.
    Yada, ect, I’m sharing your video with my Nuyorican families across the country. You are excellent with explaining this issue credibly and why land use matters to all living creatures.
    Importing 80% of it’s food must have a connection with old laws in congress imposed on the island.
