If this comes about in my lifetime I would hope they put enforcers at these lights. My experiences with traffic lights in Bacolod, is when it turns red you can count at least 4 - 5 cars still going through the light. If you plan on stopping look in your rearview because the person behind might have another idea in mind. I know about yellow, speed up to beat the red. But I have actually seen people at least 50 meters or more away speed up when the light turns red so they don't have to stop. Just because you have a green light, proceed with caution. If the enforcers really stop these terrible drivers and hit them in the pocket book, then maybe they will learn to behave. But, since a general attitude of drivers seems to be, the law applies to everyone else, not me, I doubt this will help, it will probably lead to more accidents.

 

O.K., my generator is fixed now. They picked it up at the house last Thursday afternoon and was delivered back today about 2:00 p.m.. The owner himself came to the house to look at it Thursday to determine the problem. A half hour later his boys came with the truck to pick it up. Friday he had us come to his shop to see what they found bad in the alternator. So we told him to go ahead with the fix which would require a rewind. The boys brought it back today, I tested it under load and all is well. Total cost from him P6500. I consider that quite fair.
The company is Marlet Electrical and Rewinding Shop. Mario P. Sorila. He's on what I call the BIR road in Bagacay not too far from the Dumaguete Valencia road. (035) 421-0371 or 0916-458-8803.
All types AC DC motor & generator repair and other electrical related issues.
He doesn't do engine repair, but anything electrical in generators is his specialty.

 

The actual traffic law says that even if it is posted "No Parking" you are allowed to temporarily stop for the purpose of picking up or dropping off a passenger or goods from a business. You are supposed to put on your blinkers and are allowed up to 15 minutes. Twice I've received tickets for that and I went into the office and explained that I wasn't "parked" I was just "temporarily stopped" to make a pick up, I brought a printout of the regulation with me to show them, and they voided the ticket.

 

I find your reply a bit insulting, do you really think I would eat somthing rotten and leave the place without bringing it to their attention first?
They couldn't miss the fact I had a rotten meal as I spent 5 minitues in the CR throwing my stomach contents into the toilet bowl!

They also said no charge for the meal , but I was with a very respectable friend of mine that insisted of paying for it, even though there was no way I was going to pay for the pleasure of being physically sick,

I have no axe to grind and the reason I posted here was because I think any business that advertises here needs to know that I got served garbage, the boss/owner was not on site when this happened and I am sure you have brought them up to date ,

As far as my reviews go, I have in the past had fantastic meals and should have posted about them, my finest meals being had in gerrys on the beach shame it's now gone, la fiesta always a d*mn good feed to name but a few ,

As far as this goes I won't feel any need not to post because you seem to think it should be kept private , I will always post negative or positive and not feel cornered into saying what is true!

I will be doing a couple more reviews when I get to my pc as I find it harder to use my cell phone to reply

Take it as you see it

 

Thanks for the positive input.

A VERY small minority of members actually resent being given information, especially if it consists of more than a few words - they seem not to grasp that they have the ability to skip what they don't like or what overloads them!

But at the times someone needs information, it can often be found here on this Forum on a wide range of subjects and posted by members with a huge combined range of knowledge and experience (that is the only reason I was able to construct that list). Very many will go out of their way to help and that is the real strength of this really amazing website.

 

I assume they will be also giving it to their own citizens (and possibly to other countries with whom they curry favour) - if they hold back for their own citizens then we will know why.

Anyway, I would not want it even if they paid me.

 

my missus, when I 1st met her, never paid anything, but I thought her the error of her ways, now she is the one who reminds me, when it time to pay here SSS, she pays it herself 20k a month (she sees her uncles and aunts struggling and struggling every single day (everyday going to bed not knowing where the next mouthful is coming from is down right heart wrenching), they go around like zombies, sat her down one day and explained how it was going to be when she too was 60+ especially if i was already dust in the ground, after a few chats she finally got it (locals become eye blind, and numb to what they see about them, the poverty they come to see is to accept as the norm and that is the future that waits them......i shook that woman, and now we have our own two little ones running about, she now gets it, she sees the neighbours kids with no shoes or one shoe or two left shoes.............every month no with out fail, she pays it herself from her own money, and she also has another axa savings plan of 10k a month which she also pays into now, she has been doing that for 3 years and has 360k of her own money that she is well proud of, when i met her she was a lowly secretary in the local LGU making a chicken a day in terms of salary, now she does all her own stuff online (virtual secretary) on the upwork platform and she makes 100k a month all her own money i dont touch it, she does what she wants with it
