    I'd leave the Philippines long before I was forced to work on a local's salary.

    AT LEAST 36 people were killed after a passenger ferry with 173 on board capsized in rough waters off Ormoc City in Leyte past noon on Thursday, just a few minutes after leaving the port there, a disaster monitoring official said.

    Rescue boats picked up dozens of survivors who clung to the overturned hull of the Kim Nirvana, one kilometer (about half a mile) from Ormoc port, Ciriaco Tolibao from the city’s disaster risk reduction and management office told AFP.

    Divers were scouring the murky waters searching for survivors from the inside of the ship, he said.

    had this forum recommended to me by Jack Petersen, that is a good enough thumbs up for me. Living in Thailand with Filipino gf, would rather be there. But Phils is our ultimate destination.
    Dumageute has been recommended as a good place to hang up the sign.

    Meh, every time they strike a peace deal with one of these Muslim groups they always have a bunch split off and form another that still wants to fight. It will never end. Sometimes peace is not the solution. They need a stronger military presence down in Mindanao.

    I think it should stay as is and let drivers make a bit more. At the snail pace of change here by the time it is lowered gas prices will be up again. I always pay 10-20 depending on how far and good driver. Why is it so little to go to town but alot to go out from town back home? Always a negotiation to go home. Walking has become a nice hobby.

    Gore pictures will not be posted in this forum, this is rubbernecking in its worst form. If Team HUKAD wants to lower themselves to being a gore page then that's on them. Respect for the deceased will be shown here. This man could be a father, husband or brother to someone. I wouldn't want pictures of my loved one's dead body posted all over the internet and I certainly wouldn't want my kids (if I had any) to see pictures of my lifeless body laid out on the highway. I will let the post and link stand in case people want information on the wreck but I am editing out the picture.

    That being said, appears that the man was not wearing a helmet. It is quite possible that his life could have been saved if he had been wearing one. Use your head people. Helmets save lives. I'm not one having the government force people to be safe, if someone isn't smart enough to take care of their own body then we should let Darwinism do its thing. Best wishes to this man's family. It's a shame that his death could have been prevented.
