Dumaguete Expats Rebel After New Law Announced Last Month

[Jollygoodfellow]

Found this news story about a new law that some expats living in Dumaguete decided they weren't going to take all these changes. I guess it's bad enough having to keep your shirt on but has this new law gone too far?

After President Rodrgo Duturte announced yet another crack down on public behaviour and decency last month Dumaguete mayor, Felingy Remolloto quickly ordered his police to take action.

PNP Supt. Jonso Pineppe officers arrested several  people in violations for not wearing a shirt in public as well as drinking and singing Frank Sinatra's "My Way" after 10pm but our foreigner expat residents were shocked the most to learn of a new law which disallows long hair on men in public which the law states is only for foreigners and not for our Filipino citizens. 

We took to the street to interview some foreigners we found out and about and asked them what they thought. Some have rebelled against this law and say they wont back down because they feel they are being discriminated against.

First we talked to Sir Davette  ( Name changed)

Q} Sir Davette what do you think of the law that prohibits long hair in our country?                     

A} Well it's ridiculous, not only is it going to far but its discrimination against us expats.            

Q} I can see that you have decided to not let this law affect your daily life.

A} No way, this is me and nothing will change even if they lock me up, it's the principle of it all. eh

We went on further and found a foreigner and his wife enjoying a drink where we asked the same questions.

Sir Jackaby ( Name Changed)

Q}Sir Jackaby what do you think of the law that prohibits long hair in our country?

A} I love this place but it's starting to feel like back home. I came here for the relaxed lifestyle but now can't get around without a shirt and they want me to cut my hair for what reason I dont know.

Q} I can see that you have decided to not let this law affect your daily life.

A} No I wont be changing. In fact I feel that I will rebel and grow my hair even longer. Next you will tell me I can't enjoy a pint over the age of 60. ( Pint Sir ? ) "Never mind"

Reporter } Sir Jackabys wife was on hand, she says she loves long hair and excivity produced a picture from her bag of her husband when he was a baby, look other than a change in color he is still the same. What's wrong with our country today she asked?

We found ourselves at the beach for a final interview for today where once again we put forward the same questions.

Sir Kevarny ( Name Changed )

Q} Sir Kevarny what do you think of the law that prohibits long hair in our country?

A} Oh I think there's a screw loose somewhere. Now I'm told I can have long hair but cant go outside? And what, now I have to wear a shirt? Look I'm at the beach so what do I do as the law is not clear. It's a public beach so should I have a shirt on?

Q} I can see that you have decided to not let this law affect your daily life.

A} They can carry me out in a casket as I wont be cutting my hair and as you can see, no shirt either. Now pass the Yorkshire Pudding please ( Yorkshire Pudding Sir? ) sigh !

This concludes our interview with foreigners on our country's new laws. What do you think of these new laws?

Looks like you put in a lot of time "searching" for this news story.  Nicely done.

The moral of this article should be that expats are not citizens of the country.  Whatever the law, you o bide, or you live somewhere else.

So do you think this new hair law will be enforced?

I think it should be.  First its long hair and then the oldtimers turn into a bunch of bullies or thugs.  Ya know what they say:  "hair today, goon tomorrow".

 Years ago in the UK and somewhat today, you used to get your collar felt for having a "Skinhead" now it is the In thing, in the UK and many other European Countries, Skinheads are considered as Troublesome. Funny old word EH?
