Just making a bad joke that the reason the dogs and cockerels are getting quieter is with food getting scarce for some maybe they've eaten then. 😏 I wish somebody would eat the stray dogs outside my compound, barking and fighting all night long. Had to get up twice in the early hours 2am and 4am shining a flashlight in the dogs faces. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe it is better to be blatant than latent? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Filipinos in general are not very good at "thinking outside the box", taking initiative or accepting personal responsibility After it was announced that over 65's are housebound I saw on Facebook that someone msg the Mayor here in Cebu and asked how these people are supposed to survive, his answer was go see the Barangay Captain, good advice but if you are over 65 you are under curfew and cannot go out and will be arrested if caught, duh 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I asked a barangay official why the trikes and pedikabs were still operating I was told it was PNP's job.....funny since the PNP follows the Mayors guidance 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Me, Im senior, with no househelp and fortunately Im still going to the supermarket when required and in Makati theres a great many seniors still shopping. But really, the people making these rules seem to make them in a mental vacuum. They never seem to get around to thinking " what if that person etc etc ...... Just one blanket rule. Then again the amount of rules that contradict one another from barangay to barangay is astonishing.. some will fine curfew breakers, some wont. Some will stop seniors some wont...some will ban alcohol others wont... and for some Senators the rules whatever they are wont apply....... lol...... 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The level of inconsistency should not be a surprise to anyone - for pretty much every interaction we have with government officials, indeed any officialdom, we see different approaches not just from area to area but person to person and even the same person at different times. It's not restricted to the Philippines either - how many times do we each read the same thing and see it differently? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
