Gents, who said I was living in Subic? I just said that Subic in my opinion is a better place for education for his kids, its right on the water and the infrastructure is better too. The power is more consistent. Hardly no scooters and trikes, the jeepneys adhere to a strickly regimented schedule. Again, I do not live there! I just think it is a better place to live. Plus, you have an international airport in Subic and you can go to Clark now in 30 minutes which also has an international airport.

I think RHB said it pretty well regarding the teachers in the school systems in Cebu or anywhere in the Philippines when he spoke about Cebu teachers. Basically the local teachers are not up to par. The Brent School in Subic and many other locations has a great educational system. Just because some place calls itself a "university or college" does not mean that it is a good school. I believe that UP and Ateneo are the only certfied and recognized schools of higher learning in the Philippines. By the way, there is a UP and Ateneo satellite campus up in Clark now. Silliman used to be good when they had American teachers, at least this is what a few of the alumni from that school told me.

I believe Carl said that he 'was finishing up on the contract of the house' which, implies that the steal I mean deal is not done! I may be wrong on this. Hey, I am just a realist and I am very candid about the reality of Duma. I do not like the bad points in duma and that is why I do not live there anymore. One of the best moves of my life!

4 minutes to get across dumaguete? What? By an airplane? Do you have a cape and does your shirt have a big "S" on it? Ha! Keep dreaming. The amount of scooters and bikes is still low? You, my friend are not being truthful. Duma beats China with amount of scooters and bikes, as far as I am concerned maybe per square meter in a shitty like duma, I mean city! The difference is that in China, they obey the traffic laws!

Time is money. I dont care about that. I just dont like the rude people deliberately cutting in front of people and taking advantage of people while they drive like maniacs on these trikes, bikes and scooters. Most of the time, they are breaking the traffic laws. How many times have you ever seen these rude maniacs wearing helmuts? Shoes and not flip flops? They dont wear them because their is not law enforcement! At the emergency rooms at the hospital, 80% of all the people coming in for emergency care are scooter or bike related! 80%!!! No, theres no problem! I read also that most of the hold up crimes are accomplished on bikes and scooters too. Listen, I had a mini bike and a motorcycle when I was younger. I wiped out a few times on these bikes too. When you wipe out or lay down your bike, then, you have an appreciation of fear and this fear transcends into respecting the traffic and ultimately the traffic laws too. Most of these maniacs have never had a scooter or bike so, they probably have never had to lay down the scooter or bike. So, when the maniacs laydown their scooters or bikes its in traffic and not out in some barren field. This is a big difference.
Carl dont buy the house and form your own opinion. Stay a few weeks or a month then, make a decision. Move out to Zamboguita! Much better than duma.
