24 hour curfew for seniors and students [IMPLEMENTED IN DUMAGUETE]

Discussion groups everywhere include posters such as this, where he/she obviously knows more than the rest and rises above the fray in his sort of manufactured and almost troll-like indignation, similar to that other troll. We are discussing actual problems that seniors do have here in real life. Using his own methaphor, he certainly is speaking out of one hole but I will not say which one.

Red-herring assertion. Are you just making that up?

You are pretty quick to bend over and get you know what-ed

Let me give you another perspective; many are here (maybe even you) are SRRV holders and are not only guests but members of the a Philippine Retirement Authority, an organization that tells us ‘it is better in the Philippines’. From PRA membership we derive many useful privileges such as diplomatic priority check-in when going thru Immigration etc.. The point is, they want you to retire here and for good reason: At least previous administrations here recognized the benefits of Western foreign exchange to Filipinos. They want to make your life here as trouble free as possible so you stay here and encourage others to come. They are not the like the Bureau of Immigration that I suspect that you are used to. You deposit lots of money into a PRA account, they will give you a permanent resident visa as a paid guest. Yes, as your enlightened 5 yo knows, OF COURSE we must follow the rules but we also have a right as members, and even the responsibility, to help PRA improve senior retiree experiences in future lockdowns which, btw, are almost guaranteed to happen. Examples of things that will have negative impacts to their business model in attracting future retirees are 1) arbitrary and unexpected elder bans that do not occur in other countries and, 2) alcohol prohibitions, given the fondness of fermented tastes for many in that group. Closing bars and banning public boozing is understandable but extending that to Prohibition of store sales; stopping the consumption of beverages at home has no impact on outside spread the disease. It reeks of enforcement of some unwanted good-heath agenda or religious moral code. Carrie Nation with her keg-destroying hatchet would be proud haha. PRA member-customers will almost certainly be making big noises to PRA about these and other unnecessary measures when they make their next visit to DGTE for SRRV member meetings, and, although nothing can be accomplished right now, perhaps this joint Department of Tourism/Private enterprise organization will exercise an albeit minor influence to deal with retirees here in future lockdowns, maybe proposing to regulators better thought-out and less arbitrary policies for their (and all) retirees.

But only if we b*tch.

After all, ultimately, it is all market-driven. People can walk, too.

Note: Recent information indicates possible relaxation of senior bans (not total elimination) in the Visayas . Hope it is true.

Sure, you control your 5 year old as I controlled my kids when they were little. Hint: 5 yo is easy! But it will be more challenging when he gets a bit older and begins to think, without directly telling you, that half of what you are saying is pure made-up bullish*t. Not to be arrogant, that is life.

 

snap snap snap such emotion

 

I just saw that Bohol has recognized that 24/7 lockdown will make life difficult to impossible for some seniors. Governor Yap has allowed them out of their lairs on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday each week to forage. I’m sure that came after some complaints, not as the result of unprovoked contemplation on other people’s problems.

 

Roque mentioned yesterday that there were many complaints about the ban and that LGU’s were meeting about it so I believe you are correct.
