Hmm, expert? Not me, but I do have a few thoughts about the whole ASF thing.
1. As of the latest report date (January 19) there are still active cases of the disease in Negros Oriental, in Ayungun and Tanjay (see picture).

2. It is an incredibly contagious disease, that spreads very easily. It is caused by a virus that is not dangerous to humans, but all the more so for Pigs (wild and domestic). It can kill any infected pig within a week. The problem is that it spreads not only from pig to pig, but also through pork meat, whether raw, frozen, dried or -under-cooked. Moreover, it can spread through a certain family of ticks, which is why it is probably almost impossible to eridicate the disease once it has become endemic in an area.
3. There is a vaccine, developed in Vietnam, but I am not aware that it is being widely used and/or available.
4. Basically the measures being applied (culling, no transport, keep out meat from infected areas, etc.) are in my view mitigation efforts, they won't get rid of the disease.
5. The Philippine government has extended its "lower import tariff" for pork for another year, all through 2024, in an effort to stabilize the consumer price of pork.
6. The cultural thing in the Philippines of slaughtering pigs/piglets in uncontrolled environments (the Lechon thing) will definitely not help to bring ASF under control.

 

Maybe you should meet a few more builders here before you continue to crap all over people you don't know.

In the 12 years I've been here I didn't notice collapsed building all over the place. There were some pretty severely damaged buildings from a 6.9 earthquake which is understandable.
People here listen to you and come to believe a carpenter here can't even install a door lock set. When my carpenter was making some mortice and tenon joints for a door he fit the pieces together then took them apart and started to shave away bits of wood. I asked him why he was doing that, they fit perfect. His answer; "I need room for the glue". People here have skills. He cut the cornice molding over my cupboards with a handsaw. I couldn't make that cut with a $1500 compound angle miter saw.
If there are failures due to the crappy materials available here it not right to blame the failures on the builder.

Your Sir Dave need to get out and meet more people before you crap on everyone.

 

Said here many times by many members, but IMO you cannot do better than Premier Dental Care Solutions (opposite side of the main highway from Robinson's Mall and heading south).
Premier Dental Care Solutions, Tan Alley Building, South Road, Tabuc Tubig, Dumaguete City. +63.917.174.5005 +63.998.957.5397 +635.421.05.79 premierdcs@gmail.com Website: http://www.premierdent.net/home.html

The premises are very modern, clean and well equipped and the dentist (Dr Julie Flor Cordeta) has over 14 years experience, is very well trained, very caring, highly competent and totally trustworthy. The whole set-up is very professional.

If only every service was the same, we would be living in Paradise.

I have no connection to this service, except as a patient.

 

Hello Sir, Sorry for the delay in answering but we have been out gathering food today and making a few deliveries. I think if you click on the "Photos" button on the FB page it will allow you to see the pictures of food that we have and you got the price list, I see. I don't know why but I am unable to see the friend request you sent. My wife does the FB stuff, I don't do FB. About us. I had an 80 chair "breakfast and plate lunch" type restaurant in the South in the US for a while, and enjoy cooking. We started making lemon meringue and chocolate meringue pie here as a hobby just because we heard so many expats complaining about the lack of food they really liked and some things that they couldn't get. We have been selling pies at the Valencia market on Sunday since last October, and sell desserts to a few restaurants in Dumaguete and Valencia. We started expanding based upon requests and what I know how to cook and have added many things. We decided to bag and freeze individual servings and usually sell that way but sometimes do sell whole trays or pans. Our quality is as good as one can buy here, which if you know where to buy supplies, is on par with the US mostly. The things that are not so good here or not available, we make ourselves. Like ricotta cheese and Italian sausage for the lasagna and country sausage We make our own spaghetti sauce and many other things. We try to keep the prices down and our main goal is to supply good food at a good value. Usually we take orders and deliver in one or two days as often times we have to make some of the food to fill your order. We understand a small order if you want to try the food before you buy much, but once you see if you like it we like to get orders of at least 4 or 500 to justify a delivery, however, if you are on the way to our next stop we will work with you if necessary. We don't want you to be hungry. If you have any questions just ask.

 

A very good place to purchase bacon, ham, sausages and smoked Dorado or Salmon is Kingswicks.

Very good quality for reasonable rates.

If you enter the Kingswicks hotel just take the elevator to the 4th floor. Next to the bar is a huge freezer containing everything you are looking for.

By the way, it's a good place for breakfast, lunch or dinner as well. We always stop there on our way home when we went for shopping at Hyper market.

 

Yes I am on the mend, Thanks.
My experience at Holy Child has only been with the Eye Clinic and the dentist. All being good experiences.

I can not say enough about how good ACE is. It is of course a new hospital and it is very well staffed. I spent 5 days there and it cost about half of the cost of St. Luke's in Manila for the same amount of time.
