Bottled Pee At Cebu Airport!

Somebody in #cebu is really “pissed” you taxi drivers queuing up at the Cebu airport, beware! Oh, you taxi owners and even us passengers, we better tell them about this or there will be no more taxi from the airport!

These ‘reminders’ are printed on paper, wrapped in transparent plastic and nailed to some trees. Yep, plural! I think I counted 3 or 4 trees with that reminder. And I liked the type of nails used – pam-bubong yata yan ah, at mukhang galit-na-galit nung ipinako sa puno! Whaahehehe! So you taxi drivers… beware.


If anyone of you my dear readers care to translate, please do. I think I already got the message. It is admonishing taxi drivers not to leave plastic bottles with their pee (and other trash) on the side of Waterfront Hotel Mactan, otherwise the MCIAA management will revoke their rights to line up and pick passengers. Or something like that in a harsher tone hehe!

Couldn’t help but imagine though… how do these idiots do the act anyway? I think, its quite a feat to do. Unless they have too minute a “kargada” between their legs. Otherwise, I am almost sure there will be some mis-alignments so that they’d probably be smearing pee on their hands. And then what? Yuckkk! Oh well, when nature calls, taxi drivers have to be imaginative hehe


But if we look at this from a developmental point of view folks, the signage is actually telling us something else - poor management, hindi masyado ginagamit ang utak! Meaning? If you want taxi cabs to queue up, think of what they might be needing to wait it out without hampering the flow. Meaning? It's not enough to provide space for cabs to wait in line. Drivers are human beings too, so provide for their basic needs if you don't want them whirring their things on the fence of that hotel. Sus, ask Bayani Fernando how it can be done. And yes, you can even paint them pink too! Otherwise, eh di maglagay kayo ng trash bins dyan where the drivers can dunk their bottled pee in!

Quite a sign of our urban times? Probably!

Trapped In Oras, Eastern Samar

Image
Oras is a pacific-facing town up the northern portion of Eastern Samar. This town's name is not pronounced like the Tagalog word for time. No, not like that! It is [o'ras] where the stress is in the second syllable. The speed and tone is like how you say the English words "alight", "chorale", "amass" or "awash". Okay, that's good enough, I know you got it! Uu da, oke na da it! Asya it! Yesterday, I was in the area checking on some work-related matters. Stayed overnight in this town as I haven't yet heard if accommodation facilities are available in San Policarpo or Arteche (these are the 3 northern-most towns of Eastern Samar). This morning, I was on my way to other nearby places, but.. I got trapped (happily) by a parade! That long white bridge behind them is the only way out south... A youngish set of town officials, I must say. Oh, the girl in the middle is not a muse. She is THE Mayor! But by the looks of it, she migh...

Hinatuan, A Quick Visit

Image
Happy (and thankful) to have seen the center of this town, even if I did not at all dream of being in the place yet! I only wanted to see Tinuy-an Falls and Enchanted River which I thought were both in Bislig ! Only to find out that Enchanted River is even farther away than Hinatuan, from Bislig or Tinuy-an Falls! This place is out of the way if you come from anywhere in Bislig to the Enchanted River or vice-versa! So, how did I find myself here? Nag-detour? Well, I would like to think of this as some kind of a gift! An addition to my itinerary (at no extra cost), for lack of anything else to do and/or any place else to see! Why? Because we were moving too fast from place to place, because: I did not stay long at Tinuy-an Falls or Enchanted River.., because: there were just too many visitors that I did not enjoy it any longer! Whose fault? Mine! Lesson learned: DO NOT VISIT SURIGAO DEL SUR ON A HOLY WEEK! So.., because we were already done with Tinuy-an Falls and Enchanted Ri...

THE BOULEVARD, Surigao City

Image
Virtually everyone in Surigao City is related to this boulevard directly or indirectly! It's such a big thing , they even have a Surigao City Boulevard Development Program and a Surigao City Development Authority . I'm not joking. Those are for real. As in! Involved in it are not only their local politicians but also the chambers of commerce. What is it anyway? Foremost it's a 1.8 kilometer stretch of a highway along the seafront. The concrete pavement tells me it is still new. That is it! Walang basagan ng trip! It is an emulation (kumbaga sa Tagalog pa: gaya-gaya ) of Roxas Boulevard in Manila, or pwede rin Dumaguete’s Rizal Boulevard - and many other seafront boulevards. Aside from being a “park” for the residents, it is supposed to be an attraction in the city, showcasing whatever bla-blah-blah to attract tourists from everywhere on earth. While I was inclined to raise my eyebrows, it did attract me. I was a tourist, right?! So okay, without a speck of d...
