My pool is around 24 thousand gallons, chlorine and electricity ( running the pump average 3 to 4 hours a day) runs around P3,500 per month. Labor for maintence is done in house so no labor costs. From time to time cleaning equipment will need replacing and pump house problems can spring up. If you develope an Algie problem my guess you would be looking around P2,000 for additional chemicals/shock treatment.
My biggest expense is food and drinks for all the people that show up for a swim... HaaHaa.

 

Wow, such sad news. There is info on this all over FB of course.

It appears the vehicle rear-ended the motorcycle, which was stopped or slowing for a turn. One back-rider was killed. The mother and two other children survived. From other articles, it appears the cause of death was impact with the ground rather than being run over.

Motorcycles are dangerous. Most Filipino's don't know proper safety protocols for driving. A greater percentage of foreigners know the protocols but they aren't "motorcycle fluent" drivers. In an ideal world, only those who are highly competent driving motorcycles would be driving them. To put it grimly, motorcycles are a developing world sacrifice of the value of life in exchange for the value of quick transportation. Foreigners who come to the Philippines with no experience driving motorcycles don't realize this.

NOTE: No foreigners were involved in this accident.

 

B.G., My last wife (16 yrs married) was Thai, current Filipina wife (8+ yrs married). Some similarities but not many. Blood is thicker than water with both, maybe moreso here. I was treated nicely by both families although the Thai family was better educated and better English spoken. But
Filipino family poorer but nicer. My advice, avoid the girls who have had a few rodeos of their own.

 

Pompolino, thanks for your reply and your concern. The melanoom I have is on the sole of my foot and started as painful spot what later developed in a lump. I went to dr Munoz who gave me an ointment to soften it up. This resulted in an slight infection . Tru Dermatology opened this up , took a skin sample and burned it tight. This infected seriously so I had to take a very strong antibiotic subscribed by a surgeon in SUMC.
The diagnose of the biopsy of the skin sample
was malignant melanoma, a second opinion by Silliman the same. Additional tests done in Manila (P 14.500) the same. So now I'm looking for a specialist who can cut a part out and do this <To detect the sentinel glands, radioactive fluid is used, which is injected by the nuclear medicine physician at the site of the melanoma.> what I suppose is done by you too? Tomorrow I plan to visit Dr Labaco in SUMC who seems the be the cancer expert in Dumaguete. This mainly for advise on further treatment in Cebu or Manila.
I answer you on the forum to warn others to be aware and not neglect the early warning signs like I did. So far I spent about P 25,000 !!

 

And non-pedigrees are often so much tougher and longer-lived due to hybrid vigour. Some pedigrees are so in-bred they have a bad start from the moment of conception.

 

I consider Y-not an okay restaurant, food over the middle quality for the Philippines, at least for the dishes I like. I find the service good there, never had any reason to complain. I notice over the last year or so, more customers what you call low -class expats are increasing in number, same in Dumaguete in general IMHO. I'm not high society, but feel better when people have a nice behavior, by that I mean show respect to surroundings, staff and other customers, not all know how to behave in public space. That said, I still thought it's the few who have bad style

 

They do in deed but I am not sure if they will test private transformers especially older models but a call to customer services may help, whatever, it is going to cost as I said before I am convinced that Polaris should be consulted as this no doubt where it came from, I know on occasions that they will lend out Transformers if they undertake to help and do any work for the OP and his neighbours. One can only hope a solution can be found as I know that particular area has more than enough problems

 

I have a spyder helmet from the shop on the second floor at Robinson. The Chin guard flips up to become like an open face helmet that's a nice feature when the traffic is slow. I paid about 4000 pesos.
