What are the things to watch out for in a bus ride in the Philippines?

A bus ride in a third world country like the Philippines is a gruelling experience, Being a “not rich” person governed by corrupt, evil, irresponsible, public servants, means I would have to endure this form of travel just like the majority of my people.

The Philippines is a very beautiful county, blessed with so many natural resources and beautiful places. And its people is its richest resource, so they say. But when it comes to government and provision of public service such as public transport, we terribly suck.

May 10 which falls on a Monday is election day. But everyone is asking, how about May 11? As of last Thursday, Malacanang has yet to confirm if they would give in to the clamor to make May 11 a holiday.

As of now let’s just wait for the official pronouncement. I have a biased opinion on this issue, because May 11 is my birthday.

The past few days, Willie Revillame is not in the noontime show Wowowee. This absence came after his brave declaration that he would resign from the show if ABS CBN management will not remove Joebert Sucaldito from the station. Sucaldito has been very critical of Revillame, which got the ire of the No.1 noontime show host.
