On another forum I read the same thing happened in a Barangay in Cebu. The thread just stopped, I assume this happened because it was not pushed any further by the barangay, seemed to be a kneejerk reaction to an the incident. The two girls that said they would come back never did (surprise surprise). I'm curious, was there a recent crime in Valencia committed by a foreigner? Missing child? Rape? Murder? This was the reasoning for the "inventory" in Cebu a couple years ago.
This is off topic only because I can't create a topic. Is everyone else seeing this Syria stuff on the activities screen?
Well the barangay officials have just been here also and wanted details of me and any other foreigners I know! All they wanted was name,country,barangay and signature on a basic form. No photo required. There was a supporting letter from the chief of police stating it was compulsory. The letter originated from Cebu. They also mentioned after I questioned them as to why it was a safety thing but I don't think they really knew themselves.
Well, if it's for safety, I'll feel safer the fewer (including police) who knows details about me. So, thanks, but no thanks!
