A Press update on the Issue but the Second part I found a little disturbing. I was under the Impression that the PNP had the Market under surveillance after recent problems but then the Incident seemed to be solved quite Quickly. I wonder what is felt more important, Stopping Flyers Stickers or Theft and Deception?
Just my thoughts of Course. :

Article stated they were to be disposed of properly, which means they will burn them chocking the residents with the smoke.

One of those multi cabs with loud speakers advertising for a political candidate was going down the street this morning with the amps turned up loud..........at 5:30 AM.

DAILY STAR: Negros Oriental

 

Agree with Hans...broadly the parties seem to have much (ish) the same agenda - Dirty Harry stands out due to his programme of 'federalism' and feeding the fishes in Manila Bay. When I talk to the Mrs about this (as it quite confusing) I get flim flam about "loyalty". But when I dig a bit deeper it seems to be clan based or at least based on 'regionalism' or 'traditionalism'. Mad as a box of frogs and inpenetrable to me - as I used to parties slugging it out either from the left or right and on issues. This seems to be like a row you get to see on Jerry Springer to me.

As a side note did anyone know that Italy used to have more elections than a Chinaman on his honeymoon?

Cheers,
