    Using strong language doesn't exactly help to convince people to join your apparent disapproval of monarchies.
    Yes, monarchies are relics of the past, but any time would be a better time than now to discuss the supposed benefits of a republic.

    Agree. There have always been horrible people. I don't think it has gotten any worse, social media and the news just makes it more visible.

    I feel the pace of life has gotten slower and getting shopping done has gotten easier and less stressful. I've noticed no changes in driving habits here, just as stupid and frustrating as it has always been. Filipinos seem to be just as friendly as before the pandemic.

    My gf regularly shows me ridiculous and outrageous behavior on TikTok but I'm not sure if this is something new or something that we just now have eyes on because the platform makes that stuff go viral. I know greedy, corrupt, inconsiderate and rude @ssholes have always existed...they are just getting put on video now because everyone has a camera in their pocket. I think this is good for society though, makes people better behaved as any public display of ridiculous behavior could wind up getting you in trouble or shunned by society.

    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.

    Has been clarified not required for kids over 4' 11''.....but how inane when you see 2/3 kids with parents on a motorcycle every day.

    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).
