Freebie Posted August 21, 2020 Posted August 21, 2020 And yes its nice in Makati that a great many of the citizens ( or the ghastly named Makatizens) all have a mask and a shield. Yet only problem I see is that most people have the damn shield on the top of their head like its a fashion accessory rather than wearing it as its intended.

I saw a western guy wearing his back to front last Saturday in Robinson's Mall. I guess he didn't know if he was coming or going! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GeoffH Posted August 21, 2020 Posted August 21, 2020 (edited) The old Castlemaine XXXX brewery building is still there in Castlemaine but no longer brewing XXXX so sadly I can not give it a XXXX. I have heard conflicting stories about the relationship between Castlemaine XXXX made by Castlemaine Perkins in Queensland and the old Castlemaine XXXX brewery in Castlemaine. Some say there is no relationship and others that there is. No idea which is true. Don’t really mind as long as someone is making XXXX Gold though Edited August 21, 2020 by GeoffH 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The same thing is happening with face shield. BPI and Mercury Drugs ( at least where I am ) have No Face Shield no entry signs. For sure this will spread to everywhere. Not sure whats next after shield and mask. No need to pack them @Balisidar.. they are cheap as chips here..... US$1 per shield..... can you purchase them at the airport?

Like most things here, could have been organised better. not really a good excuse, you pack it in you pack it out, the same as when you go camping (you do not throw it on the ground for someone else to deal with) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just to add for example here in the IT park garden bloc area there are trash bins and recycle bins around the park. Back in the days when there were people and more so on Friday nights and weekends the bins would always be overflowing so the point is if they are there they most likely will be used.
