You know... if:
Ceres liners come to congested area with school students in the road...
then step on the accelerator and blow the horn.

dogs look before crossing a road, people don't.

If your driving and blow your horn, pedestrians and bicycles assume you see them and don't move.

yeah I noticed in filipines blowing your horn mainly is a warning you are passing somebody so they should stay on their present course

haha we arrived in dumaguete with a pack of 1000 peso notes since we changed euro's in manila, my advise is just make sure to consume loads at one location

Hello,

I am so excited that finally there is going to have a big and tall shopping mall building in our city. It means the city is in progress economically. This is a good start to attract more investor in the city. It is a long overdue to have Robinson Department Store/or any high rise department store as people like to shop especially that this building has a one place to shop.

I am looking forward to see this building early next year during my holiday. Is it going to finish then? Thank you.

You know your in the PI if you go to any government agency during lunch time and discover that everyone takes their lunch break at the same time!

[tubigboy]

you know your in duma if you see a guy standing on the side of the street or up against a wall on a public road or sidewalk and he is urinating. Or you go into a public building, store, mall and there is no bathroom, toilet seat and no toilet paper!

Yeah,I arrived back home from a short stay at Subic Bay where I ate something,from a hotel,that made me rush to the toilet 4 or 5 times a day.
Been to my local Doctor and had some tests,and found that it is Giardia,a micro parasite that lives in the gut.
Reason...they don't wash their hands after having a crap!
Not to mention the hundreds of flies crawling over open air raw food.
