If you think you never get a ticket in Dumaguete...

then you are wrong. I got mine parking the bike in front of the Kamalig restaurant, near one of these rusty "no parking"-signs which everyone seems to ignore. at least, the penalty was 50 pesos, which is affordable, but I sent my gf to the office, guess they see my white nose I have to pay more. happy I got no penalty for wearing sleeveless shirt and slippers :-)

 

the ticket has the number 208243, so I was not the first one they catched - I was just a bit surprised cz our table was next to the bike, and I saw nobody write out the ticket, maybe they have camouflage or a magic hat; so you are warned :-) and never ride with slippers or t-shirt in future ...maybe just 3 times and you get deportation custody, who knows ...

Should have parked on the pavement, everybody else does.

 

Remember way back when checking accounts came with paper things called checks instead of an ATM card? Used to be merchants wouldn't accept a check number lower than 500 or 1000 or whatever. So, when I opened a new account I always ordered replacement checks starting at 1250 to show it was a 'seasoned' account.

I'm sure by now you figured out the moral of the story?

They must have ordered tickets starting at 208240

 

Funny one thing with talking with my friends comparing differences here with the U S is....... after 9 years of living here and some in Manila ""I have NEVER""" seen a policeman issue a ticket ..............
