Smoke-free, Strictly!

"faulty english" no smoking signage at Best Suites, Mactan Cebu
This signage is prominently posted by the elevator door of a hotel I stayed at, in Pusok, Lapulapu City, Mactan Island. This wasn't first time I stayed with them. They are a convenient accommodation place when I am transiting at "unholy hours" via MCIA, and when Waterfront Airport Hotel is out of rooms!

But this was the only time I dared taka picture of that signage (hindi na mapigilan, hehehe)!

What is "free smoke"? Therefore what is a "free smoke zone"? hahaha libre yosi? ganun?!

Well, anyone not philosophizing can tell, that the owner, or whoever posted that sign, meant "this is a SMOKE-FREE zone". But look at the red-colored letters. Now that's not acceptable. What does 'strickly' mean anyway! Ah, Tagalog nalang kasi, or maypa Bisaya-a lang gud! Don't English me, I'm not school!

True. It's more fun in the Philippines! Don't me!
