    I sometimes feel like all foreigners stick together and actually believe that other foreigners can do no wrong.

    For me, I have seen a lot of foreigners who are horrible drivers. I have no trouble believing that a foreigner could be involved in a hit and run. None whatsoever.

    Not saying it happened that way, but I'd sure keep an open mind to the possibility.

    Here is Mike's web site with room rates. We go there for a getaway often. What is expensive for one staying on the beach may be considered affordable to others.

    I want to stand up for General Marquez, I have been friends with him since he was the provential commander here. He is the one high level police officer that I personally know that stands up to help both filipino and foreigners to the full extent of his position equally. I have seen him come to the aid of several foreigners in need of police assistance without hesitation.

    The way I read the article, he is doing something in attempt to address a very well known problem.

    I for one will always give credit where credit is due, and hope the snipers don't have me in their sites for say'n so....:whistling:

    Unfortunately Bart left many debts and Ritchel (his wife) is finding it very difficult indeed to come up with the money for the funeral.
    There will be a very simple viewing at the Garden of Saint's funeral home in West Rovira Drive tomorrow (Thursday the 23rd of April, 2015) from around noon for about 24 hours.
    (Garden of Saints - About - Google+

    This will be followed by a cremation the following day.

    If Bart owed you money, please give Ritchel some time before asking about it. She's hoping to rush sell a lot to pay off the funeral, bank loans, mortgages, rent arrears and personal debts.
    Also please don't ask her to relive this horrific event by asking about how it happened, ask someone else.
    Any donations at the viewing will of course be greatly appreciated.

    A very good place to purchase bacon, ham, sausages and smoked Dorado or Salmon is Kingswicks.

    Very good quality for reasonable rates.

    If you enter the Kingswicks hotel just take the elevator to the 4th floor. Next to the bar is a huge freezer containing everything you are looking for.

    By the way, it's a good place for breakfast, lunch or dinner as well. We always stop there on our way home when we went for shopping at Hyper market.

    The beach is supposed to passable for everyone.
    If you have a beachfront lot you can apply to the DENR for a foreshore lease. The lease prevents outside people from hanging out and having a picnic on that bit of sand.

    People have started buying their own swab test kits so they can monitor their households. They don’t want to get the DOH nor the LGU involved because if they turn out to be positive, they don’t want to be taken away to some dodgy quarantine facility or spend a lot of money doing their quarantine at some accredited hotel when most are just asymptomatic and they can just quarantine at home and isolate themselves in one room. So they buy these antigen kits to see if they’re reactive. If they are and exhibiting symptoms, that’s when they inform the LGU and they get swabbed with the RT PCR to validate their antigen results.

    I’m not selling the kits, but if any of you need them, a shop is selling them on Facebook. Yana Dumaguete. I recommend the brand Abbott for the nasal antigen. It’s the most accurate out of them all.

    I don't think it is something to be all that worried about. I've been the one in the uniform checking the IDs before. Most of them want to be there about as much as you want them to be there and they want things to go as smoothly and quickly as you do.
