    Determined man with great pride in his family - perfect in the situation he unfortunately found himself in. I doubt I could cope so well. Massive admiration.

    This is engrained in the culture here. Take responsibility for nothing, get offended by constructive criticism, deny deny deny even when an undeniable truth is put in front of your face, blame someone else.

    I am extremely unlikely to give any opinion or advice to a local when asked, especially if the person is asking for advice on a situation that they put themselves into. Good chance they will just get offended, deflect, try to turn it around on me and say I don't understand what it's like to be Filipino.

    Especially sad to hear after enduring the 14 day quarantine to get back to his wife then to pass away shortly after. My thoughts go out to his family and his wife. May he rest in peace.

    I don't know.
    With all the low cost college educated teachers here, parents have the option of forming their own home schools. Use the home schooling curriculum from your home country and hire a local college grad to teach it.

    Groups of parents with students in the same grade can get together and pool their resources. This would require collaboration which many find challenging.

    Just got out of ACE where I spend the last couple of nights (respiratory problem - not COVID related). They do not admit COVID patients, but staff is wearing masks (as they should be) at all times, including janitors. Yes they do reimburse PhilHealth, at least they did when my wife paid the bills. I have a PhilHealth card and my dues are paid up, so I should receive the reimbursement (deduction on the bill before the final amount to be paid). Not a fan of hospitals in any way, shape or form, but I have nothing but praise for them. Also lucky with my physician, Dr Cuyacot. Pleasant, straightforward and approachable. His clinic starts at 16.00 hrs (4 PM for the illiterate).

    Parked there several times, once for 3 nights with no problems. Just inform the guards that you will be staying overnight and they will record your plate... 150 peso fee per night
