The information given on the form was attached to a letter from the Barangay Hall, how do I know, I went and asked the Sub Div Association President that lives opposite us and he said it was kosher. The guard who is employed here was given the job of going to the houses where expats live and asking them to fill in the form which was basic name and address stuff, maybe one of the reasons this was done is an english guy down from me is in a wheel chair and has problems getting around, maybe the Barangay Hall thinks we are just all old f$rts and was just making it easy for us, who knows and more relevant who cares.I gave the Sub Div more info when they wanted to give me a parking sticker than I did on the form, geez are you guys paranoid or what.

Great movie by the way, have in my top 10 collection.

P.S. I am shocked to find there is gambling going on in here, shocked.

Not paranoid. Just that many years living here and especially service in the Brgy, provides an education and  whole new perspective on life's risks and potential problems. Maybe you're lucky and all will turn out okay down the road. Myself, I'd never provide any personal info to anyone that is not in authority such as the Brgy or the municipal mayor's office. Too risky.

As I said the info given was very basic, no documents, if they wanted  more info they could ask the owner of the house we rent that just happens to live opposite us.

Agreed.  My in-laws are very involved in barangay-level gov't here (not my barangay) and I've learned enough from them to not trust ANYONE.  And with most of the media portraying foreigners as addicts and molesters, do we really want a bunch of trigger happy local yahoos "constantly monitoring us?"  I will submit my info if requested, but I'm not alone in being concerned about this.

 

Enough politics...I'm done....headed to the corner store to sit, drink an ice cold pilsen, and contemplate my existence.  Hopefully I won't get shot on site for being one of the SOB's for which Duterte has declared an open season.

That's the right way to read things!

Corina was living in a gated subdivision in Bulacan and the resident's association wanted me to register with them although I was not a resident but a regular visitor. That seemed OK.
