Sssssshhhhh.

Woe is me I bought on the same island. It's a big one, but I am just a 10 minute trike ride away!

In writing as JJ suggests is general sound advice. Written arrangements preserve relationships. Reduces misunderstandings.

It's obvious at this point (if it wasn't a long time ago) that DU30 is Donald President in a barong.

Not a trival amount of money. I've been put on the hook too. 100,000 PHP for a brother in law's emergency healthcare costs (half paid back already). 100,000 in costs for a political campaign (my father in law is now in barangay office thanks in part), which I gave in respect for the old man (not a loan). And 200,000 for an aunt (to be paid back in June). She's got plenty to pay me back, however. The old lady is a brilliant operator.

I am an American but ANZAC day has been brought to my attention by a friend. Here it is just an hour or two but I know it is already ANZAC day in the Philippines for you expats. Many Aussies and Kiwis on this forum. I just saw how much you like your vegemite (I actually like it too on crackers). In the US we all appreciate your sacrifices and those of your fathers in the fight for good. May we all always stand together.

Armed Mexicans entering US? Might be time to resurrect Pershing. or Patton.

Maybe a national campaign tapping into Filipino patriotism? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Don't_Mess_with_Texas Don't Mess with Texas is a slogan for a campaign aimed at reducing littering on Texas roadways by the Texas Department of Transportation. The phrase "Don't Mess with Texas" is prominently shown on road signs on major highways, television, radio and in print advertisements. The campaign is credited with reducing litter on Texas highways roughly 72% between 1986 and 1990.[1] The campaign's target market was 18- to 35-year-old males, which was statistically shown to be the most likely to litter. While the slogan was not originally intended to become a statewide cultural phenomenon, it did. Beyond its immediate role in reducing litter, the slogan has been popularly appropriated by Texans. The phrase has become "an identity statement, a declaration of Texas swagger".[2] Though the origin of the slogan is not well known outside of Texas, it appears on countless items of tourist souvenirs. Since the phrase is a federally registered trademark, the department has tried at times to enforce its trademark rights with cease and desist letters,[3] but has had very limited success. The slogan is the title of the book, Don’t Mess With Texas: The Story Behind the Legend. "Don't Mess with Texas" has been awarded a plaque on the Madison Avenue Walk of Fame and a place in the Advertising Hall of Fame, a distinction given to only two slogans annually.[4] "Don't Mess with Texas" is also the official motto of the Virginia-class submarine USS Texas.

So cleaning the beach behind my lot is not a good idea?

Ex wife was Venezuelan (I am of latin american stock too). Way more domineering and bad tempered than my current (Filipina) wife. If you want to see bad tempers, you should meet some of my female relatives. Glad I got a peaceful one this time. I can get set off, my self. She's never given me cause to. I don't like to get ordered around.

Mine doesn't (in English).

All these ancient humans get names. Lucy and such. If they find an empty bottle of Kulafu in the cave, I vote they call this one Uncle Dong.

Meteor is probably the best BVR AA missile in the world right now. But it's of less use for 5G stealth fighters than it would be for 4G non-stealth, where the additional range is of greater utility.
