My First Philippine Funeral by Moon Dog
This is my first experience with a Philippine funeral and I wouldn’t wish it on my worst enemy. Tatay passed on 3/27 so today is the 9th day but since the priest doesn’t work on Sunday it turned into a 10 day ordeal. Tatay’s ...
@Enzyte BobI was very respectful for Tatay, we had a good relationship. I behaved appropriately and saved my grumblings for the forum. I mentioned that I took the mic and said what a good fellow Tatay was and how he will be missed. He was a good ... Read More

@mati_steve We bought a cheap piece of beach front property with a similar deal. It was ours to use until the government needed it. Only paid P50K for it and Tatay lived there from 2007 to 2013. It was in the direct path of Yolanda. My brother in ... Read More

I did the SRRV on my last visit to the Philippines but it expired while I was in the states. I emailed Thelma and was glad to learn there is a process for renewing long distance for a little over P6K. She sent me forms for fingerprinting and I had ... Read More

Jack Smith's 165 page brief is just a summary of Trump's crimes to remain in office after losing the election. I've read the first 85 pages and it didn't take long because it is double spaced and there are over 700 footnotes referencing the evidence ... Read More

I was standing in the chow line outside the mess hall in 1972 when stationed in South Korea. There were a couple officers standing to one side checking out the troops. My house boy must have done a good job on my boots and fatigues because they ... Read More

Forget the rambling, incoherent speeches and disastrous plan to impose tariffs on all imported goods which will result in a federal tax for all Americans. Focus for a moment on the blueprint for authoritarianism and Christian nationalism known as ... Read More
