Day 101 - Survival 101: Don't believe everything you read.

At an intersection somewhere in Manila

Originally, this is a sign that says "BAWAL TUMAWID MAY NAMATAY NA DITO." (Do not cross. People have died here.) Now, because the first line's been changed by some vandals, it says "It's a joke that people have died here."

I've never heard it proven that people have died in this particular intersection because of jaywalking. And since this sign is placed on practically each major intersection in Manila, it's very likely that this is just a ruse. I guess some people just really don't like being lied to, especially in big bold letters.

Day 20 - Construction On Going

Sign on the fence that prevents people from entering the football field, or former football field where I used to go to school

After attending mass at the chapel of my former school, we were on the way to where my dad parked our car when I saw this sign. The football field is undergoing some kind of maintenance. I have no idea what's going to happen to it, and I'm also curious about where the kids are having their track and field activities. Hasn't school started yet?

Part of the High School Building can be seen in the background. And something else unrelated: Why don't signs have punctuation marks?

Day 14 - Caution

Caution tape along the sidewalk near our office building to prevent people from falling as it is currently being "improved".

I took this picture out of boredom while waiting for the bus. Since today was a non-working holiday for most people, buses didn't come by as often as they usually did. Actually, despite the long wait, I still ended up taking a taxi. But that's another story.
