I guess each of us follow the rules we believe in when we have the choice - it may not be right but it's human nature. Many don't really agree with the need for an alcohol ban but do see the value of wearing a mask. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very True!... but having a foreigner in the family also disqualifies Filipinos from getting any help, since my in-laws were refused help because of the tsismis from neighbors about having an American in the family. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My ex is going through the same thing. Sad to say the crab mentality is strong here. If they can stop someone getting something they appear to get a kick out of it and no evidence is required just hearsay. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is a 30k reward for reporting fraudulent dealings but I'm sure it will have repercussions as they won't accept annonymous tip offs. One video doing the rounds shows a Barangay Captin pulling a gun on a woman who was complaining and he hit her in the face with it, another Captain caught on video taking 3.5k of the 6.5k DSDW money argued that he had an agreement that the person would give the money to the Mayor. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s all I can say. 3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snowy, this type of mentality is alive and well in the UK as well - you only have to see how the media love to hate success. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
