The project would be a house and business hopefully. 😊 It's hard to please people to throw their garbage properly. Squatters area doesn't have proper drainage or trash disposal. This problem is beyond my capabilities big government should do. A lot of trash behind the camera more than you know.. It's hard to please anyone and I can't pay people to do the work. I hope everyone understands I'm not a big person for them to follow my commands..

[@John77Doe]

Filipina Life Who owns the land where the squatters are staying?? My Uncle Nonoy evicted the squatters from lands that belonged to my grandmother in Masbates. I think it became unprofitable to farm the land or there was too much NPA around to carry out business scale farming. Now he is producing copra there and after taxes and farming expenses, I see annual checks for 5000 pesos, which is less than $100 US dollars. What is the property tax like in Lanao del Norte?? 🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔

[@blackwaltz3135]

I hope your business is successful, I've heard running a business there is very risky and hard to accomplish depending on the business. Some people don't understand that some people just don't care about where they dispose of their trash, and it doesn't really seem like there's a proper place to throw the trash away there but I'm just guessing. You would be spending a lot of money to clean a lot of areas and its just too expensive, besides without proper trash disposal the trash would eventually return. You're just a normal person so people need to understand even if you're a KZbinr that doesn't guarantee you respect or power there.

[@futureexpat1629]

That trike tyre was very bald, the tread was all gone! You have a sweet nature. Thanks for posting.

@@filipinalife @Chief Big Bob.... I'm aware of the previous situation in Marawi city and in the Philippines in general (Mindanao in particular)...The local threat to Filipinos in their everyday lives is always present, but not a great deal different from many western countries....The siege at Marawi mostly involved members of another IS affiliated group, the Maute....The risk to foreigners in Mindanao is real, particularly from kidnapping and it seems to be greater the further south and west you go....Actually there is a risk of terrorism throughout the whole of the Philippines, but not so great a risk as many believe....after all any foreign travel has an associated risk and if you risk nothing....you do nothing .....
