Caloocan's new police mobiles

I do not know if you've seen the new police mobile patrol units of Caloocan City on the road or Metro Manila news, but I can tell you that I've seen some of them and yes, it was given by the local government of Caloocan. There would actually be no problem in it except that...

Not the actual photo
... the entire vehicle has their Mayors name all over the patrol car making the wordings "police car" tiny. It's the governments money and I do not know why the Mayor has the right to plaster his name and face in the entire vehicle. If he paid for it, then it's ok. But he used the city governments money to do that... "Kapal muks talaga.."

I'm going to wait and try to take a photo of their police car and send it over to a blogger - http://streetviolators.blogspot.com/

How lame can those text messages be? They are more stupid than any other people here on this planet. Can you tell me how you can possibly reload my post paid line with prepaid load? Ever heard of claiming something and you need to confirm it not once but 3 times!?

As for the first one, nobody ever believes in those messages anymore. Stop circulating and attempting to scam people. What are you scammers still doing on earth getting innocent people's hard earned money? You should be burning in hell! Go back there!

Sulpicio lines blaming EVERYONE else EXCEPT THEM

The manifest of the MV Princess of the Stars, was released a couple of days after the tragedy. I know that it is a SOP that they release it as soon as possible. That doesn't mean they can take all the time they want. No wonder experts said that Sulpicio Lines is handling the crisis poorly.

Now, Sulpicio Lines is blaming everyone else! First, Sulpicio Lines blamed Del Monte on the toxic chemicals found inside M/V Princess of the Stars. Now, they are blaming PAGASA for the erroneous weather forecast.

Of course, not all weather forecasts are 100% accurate. Are they drunk? Wake up and be man enough to face the charges. At the end, it was your ships captain's decision on whether to set sail on the bad weather or not to set sail.

The image “http://www.abs-cbnnews.com/images/news/newspics/slideshows/images/frontdoor/mvprincess4.jpg” cannot be displayed, because it contains errors.

Your ship clearly sunk and killed hundreds of passengers and blaming mother nature or other agencies won't be the solution.

=== UPDATE ===

They also blamed the passengers for their OWN death. Read here.

They also blamed God - Sulpicio blames God for the disaster

Their franchise should be cancelled.

Several Italiannis branch not following the "Extras promo"

I've been to an event at Italiannis which promoted their "Extras" promo. Sadly, this weren't followed in some of their branches.

Last weekend, I ate ON PURPOSE on 2 different branches of Italiannis.

First branch - Greenhills Italiannis branch
Saturday night, I even asked the waiter if she was aware of the "EXTRAS PROMO". She said yes and I thought I made myself clear already. No Extra whatsoever.

Second branch - Glorietta Italiannis branch
Again, I made them aware that I knew about the promo. Our bill was not cheap and we ordered a fair amount of food that would be just right for us. Still, no EXTRAS.

I even heard a story from my friend that after complaining about the no EXTRAS promo, he has been given bread, to-go. Is that an insult?

Please tell your branches to follow your promos.

Maybe, I will try to eat at the Bonifacio High branch to see if they would follow...
