Unless, of course, Binay works his "magic".
It's a shame Miriam has little chance of winning

Yep.. *plays the bioshock version of will the circle be unbroken*..
Which fucking sucks. I have no doubt in my mind this dude will be impeached or at least will be tried to wihin his term.
I didn't realize the election was so close.

It's very frustrating, I spoke to a "manager" for 20 minutes being extremely annoyed. She said that all packages from Japan are flagged at customs, that's the main reason I was curious specifically about other people ordering from Japan.
I hope I don't have to pay more than what MP-28 is worth. lol
I'm tempted to put my girlfriends name on all future orders from overseas.
I am very sad. My cousin dedided to burn my lip with his cigarette when I asked him why he did not say hello to me yesterday when I greeted him.
And then last night my three cousins decided to shout in my face and get physical to me just because I am drinking my beers. I did not even get drunk.
And then my uncle decided to pull me in my clothes as he wanted to fight. I asked him what is his problem and he said me.
I have no idea why they need to beat me.
And now we will have to go on a 12 hour car trip to get to their place in the province.
I want to go back home but then I have to pay full price for a ticket and I do not want my mother to pay that.

Wtf. Burned your lips with a cig? You didn't retaliate?
What made them hate you this much? It's clear that you are not welcomed to their place. It's best you went back home unless you don't have the money.
There is a sense of foreboding the way your describe this incidents.
Damn, is there a way out of your family trip? That sounds horrible. I'd get out if this was my family while I was out on a trip.
You can always do your own tour of the Philippines. I am so sorry to hear this.

Agreed. There is really something wrong with this situation. If it were me, I'll cut ties with them.

Wait wtf.
I asked him why he did not say hi to me and he then came to me telling me, that it was because I shouted. But that's what we do because we live across the street to each other. So I saw him on tbe terasse so I shouted "hello kuya". Anyway he proceded to burn my lip. He is a very hot headed person.
Also, I am cutting ties with them when I go back home to Denmark. And now I am afraid to drink beer if they get angry again. I am afraid of them all.
I am thinking of renting a room in the province and just be for myself. But I also want to be with my parents because maybe it is my father's last one. But first I need to survive 12 hours in the car with them.

Jesus Christ bro. Just stay in Manila. Don't go with those guys. They sound like assholes. What's their province?
Ilocos Norte.
And I don't know how to get around Manila on my own. So I thought about renting a room in Laoag at least.
I still don't get why they wanted to fight me. I didn't even do anything to them.
My one cousin also said that I am staring with evil eyes on him sometimes and he do not like that. But I do not even know what he is talking about. Sometimes I look around because I have anxiety but I have never looked angry at him. Why should I.
Also the reason why my three cousins came to fight me is probably because me and my mother had an argument. They blame me because I should not argue with people older than myself. I argued with my mother because I couldn't understand why they did not support me or even why they blamed me after my other cousin had burned my lip. It feels like the automatic thing is to be angry with me and I do not feel that it is okay. There was no reason to be angry at me.
The worst thing I did all day was that I pushed away my cousin who burned me on my lip.

Man, yeah, I'm so sorry to hear that. That sounds extremely shitty.
Were you close with your family before? I can't believe anyone would be that unwelcoming to a distant cousin? Normally, the people I know here try to make an effort to at least make their distant cousins feel welcome.
I am not sure if GAF-Manila can organize a get-together to give you a tour of Manila? How does that sound?

Yes. I feel we have been close. And they were actually my favorites when they were younger. But not anymore. I already blocked them all on Facebook because I do not want people like that in my network.
And I already had a slight depression before going here, especially learning the day before our travel that my father is sick or have an infection and something wrong with his brain and blood pressure.
Maybe they hate that I am drinking but it is not even hard beer or liquor. And in fact, I had my best time when I was drinking with two girls and had fun with yesterday. And also when I was sitting around a table with other guys having fun with them.
But I can not stand my family now.

what the hell? Normally Filipinos are very excited for returning relatives. Burn your lip with a cigarette? That's barbaric... I'm sorry you have to experience this...

Like I said man do not go with them to the north. The last thing you want to do is go with them to a place where they could get away with everything.
Do you have any friends on manila? How long are you staying here?
Clearly you are not welcome there. Bail out ASAP. And also your cousins sounds like total assholes. I've lived in the Philippines until i was 17 years old and most of the people I know welcome visitors even if they don't have money. Especially if its a relative.
I have come here with my parents. Normally I am very welcomed and my one cousin just came two hours ago to invite me for dinner but I do not feel like it. My mother have promised me that she will not let them get physical with me again.
I take it that what my three cousins and uncle got angry about is probably me and my mother arguing. And me and mother get fine almost instantly, we do not have a problem.
I do not know what goes on in their minds. I also told my father that I do not feel safe around my cousins and uncle but he is just shaking his head at me like he always do. Maybe it is because he is getting old so I can not even talk to him.
And I have to go because I want to visit my grandmother. This might be the last time I see her. Just as this may be my last trip with my father.
I guess I can stay in the air condition room for myself and hope I got Internet which I probably will not have. And I can walk around taking photographies of stones and insects.
I just want to be alone when I am there in the province.

Maybe they were angry because of your mom but that is no excuse for them to get physical with you.
Well whatever their problem is, my advise is don't drink with them if they invite you too. And just stay away from them in general. Also get a smart SIM card. Seems to be the only telco with signal there in the north. Get prepaid Internet for it.
Anyways if you run in any trouble or just cant stand it anymore just post here. I think I still know people in ilocos. They might help. Good luck bro.
Damn, Madridista. Any chance it's xenophobia in full force? They may have been friendly before, but clearly not now.
My family on both sides are generally nice people, but alcohol can really change that in an instant. Though, that's not exclusive in any country.
I'd just stay the hell away from them if you can help it. Don't be left alone with them either.

Sorry to hear what happened to you Madridista but this can be the cause or something else completely.
Considering the economic situation in the philippines, lots of filipinos tend to despise those from other countries that do not send them money to "help" them. Makes things worse that some are heavy drinkers with a short fuse and problems to boot.
Stay safe and always have a phone with either globe or smart sim, shit can go real bad real quick.
They dont need to know how prosperous you are overseas. Do it for yourself.

But if they're a-holes, Jem, I think it's warranted. Lol
Extra motivation to rise above them too
I do not think it is xenophobia because they now lives in Spain and arrived in Philippines the same day as us. They were not angry at my mother either. When I asked what the problem was he clearly said it is me.
We are in Ilocos now but even though we are "fine" now I am not feeling fine at all. I do not feel I can tell my family either.
I am just here in the room now and is clearly not up for talking to anybody. I am just sad.
I am thinking of just withdrawing money on my credit card and go to rent a hotel room in Laoag.
I clearly can not do anything of the stuff I want to here. And I am afraid even to go buy one bottle of Red Horse.
I feel like a prisoner.
Also in this very moment I can see I have data connection on my Globe card.

I posted this status on Facebook the other day
"Most families argue about politics but I'm just sitting here trying to make my dad see how bad Batman V Superman is"
And forgot my 80 year old grandmother from the Philippines just got a Facebook and obviously didn't get the joke because she replied
"Yes, its Duterte who has d will to change d corrupt system in Phil! Needs Cayetano to work with him!".
And now I'm weirdly curious about Filipino politics because I see her comment on various news posts all the time.

remind me to never talk politics with the family again.
I don't think I could ever support a guy that acknowledges that he's broken some human rights to make a city safer or whatever. I could probably argue better with the parents better if I knew Philippine politics and what's happened the past decade.

What kind of merchandise? You could probably hit up a toy store for Civil War stuff. A lot of cool and niche items are online, though.
What kind of Pia Wurtzbach merch would there be? T-shirts, posters? I'd imagine random marketplace vendors have those lying around.
Is there anything equivalent to Greenhills wherever you are? That's the best I can think of, but I'm probably overestimating Greenhills' reputation for this stuff. Otherwise, I'm sure you can walk into any carrier store and buy a phone without a plan (unless they only offer subsidized phones there).
Don't take this too seriously, though, since I don't actually live there. lol
Man I almost can't handle it anymore. They blame me for having started the fights. But I only pushed my cousin away when he burned my lip.
I also cannot drink away from my family. I can't go anywhere alone and when I say I want to move to a hotel, they get angry, especially my father who says I just have to live it out here.
My mother do not understand the story and now I am annoyed that I can do NOTHING that I want.
I want to drink a bit and have fun with people and also be with girls. I get nothing of what I want. I feel like I want to hurt myself but I am not doing it.

You can buy MCU toys at malls easily, but there are so many knockoffs. If you are here in Manila, you can get many legit stuff at Greenhills.
Pia merchandise? Hard to find one.
You can buy Xiaomi phones at malls, specially at SM.
I'm around Caloocan/Quezon City. Where exactly will you be?
You can go sightseeing around Rizal Park/Intramuros. Try Manila Ocean Park and National Museum. You can shop and eat at SM Mall of Asia.

I will be in Pasig mostly but also going back and forth to Marikina and Manila
You can try Tiendesitas in Pasig. Avilon Zoo is just near.
I only know Riverbanks in Marikina. Quezon City Circle and Ninoy Aquino Parks & Wildlife Center are a ride away from there though.

On other news, damn, Comelec really did fuck up with the voter's information leak.
Looks like I might not be going back this year after all. I was set to visit for a couple of weeks later this year, but those plans are up in the air right now.
I was thinking about hitting up a nice beach or getting out of the city in general for maybe a few days while I was there. Oh well.

Heard about this and am legitimately worried about it.
Government websites with their poor-ass security. Nothing unusual, really.
As for the planting bullet, yeah it's back again. Poor elders who got caught in that mess.
The thing about Comelec is that a dump of voter's information is leaked, which can be used for identity theft. It's seems a non-issue for some but I really think it is a very serious matter.
As for the bullets, call for a media and ask for all the names of the staff members involved. Don't give them money.
