I walk/bike all over this neighborhood of ours in Quezon City and am alarmed at the number of drain gratings that have been dug out of the concrete and stolen. Wait till the next rains begin, and a repeat or worse of the Ondoy catastrophe's in the offing.

My goddaughter wrote a well-thought out, biting letter to the candidate whose people put up posters on their wall without asking for permission; pointing out that while said candidate wanted to change the face of local politics, the incumbent and his minions had *never* in all his years in office, dared to paste up so much as a shred of newsprint on their walls. She also sent the word out on Twitter and Facebook. In very short order, she received an apology and the candidate's minions were taking the offending materials down. *grin* Heh.

Worst part was that the HQ of Luis "Baby" Asistio was just three houses away. They'd park their vehicles in front of our house with the PA system blaring, often blocking the driveway. Naku, kung magwala ako nun, ganun na lang. When we were living in Caloocan, we had the same experience every election. Worst part was that the HQ of Luis “Baby” Asistio was just three houses away.
