Father Tropa's Mini Zoo

Image
Well, perhaps you wonder why I called it 'Mini Zoo'. Don't laugh but it's my first time visiting a zoo. I thought  they have many animals there but I found out they have a few and most of it are monkeys in cages. Only baby monkeys are allowed to roam outside the case. They are harmless. When I was there, one baby monkey, the size of a medium puppy but slender of course, was following me with hand/paw open begging for food. I felt sorry for it. I was not thinking of bringing food there or at least some ripe bananas, sure that small little thing will be happy. We paid the entrance fee of 20 pesos each, 10 pesos for kids. The care takers there are mostly elderly, I think in their 50s or more. They were all barefoot with their long not-so groom hairs. We watched the animals first. There were geese, crocodiles, monkeys, guinea pigs (lots of them), a crow, turtles, a deer, wild boar and a toothless snake. The crocodiles are in metal cages approximately 4 square meter...

Business Spaces For Rent

(Zamboanguita, Negros Oriental, Philippines) - I tried to look around and inquired the cost for renting per month for a business space. I have seen two vacant places directly on the Poblacion, national high way. For a fourth class municipality, the rate is really up.

Malatapay, The Livestock Market

Image
(Malatapay, Zamboanguita, Negros Oriental) - It is the most alive place in Zamboanguita every Wednesday. During Tuesday, vendors from wherever they came from gathered to sell their fresh fruits, veggies, root crops, and others in preparation for the coming day, the Wednesday. It is the day where livestock raisers, sellers and buyers meet.

Memorandum Of Agreement

If you are a foreigner and planning of buying properties here in the Philippines but reluctant about the consequences that your Filipino partner will dispose the property without your consent simply because you cannot own real properties here, then the Memorandum of Agreement is for you.

Barangay Road Situation

(Maglinte, Mayabon, Zamboanguita, Negros Oriental) -Where we are now, a four-wheeled vehicles cannot pass through for approximately 20 meters.  The road is created by the residents here connected to the barangay road 100 meters away.

Buying Properties

(Zamboanguita, Negros Oriental) -  I am so fond of checking properties on the web because it is more easy than visiting the properties directly. At least, through a website, most of your questions are already answered with minimal effort.

Internet Connections

(August 25, 2011 Maglinte, Mayabon, Zamboanguita, Negros Oriental) - This is my 2nd attempt to use the internet through Tattoo prepaid Supersurf50 via Windows Vista. Connection is not that stable like the first attempt. It could be the rain that is affecting the signal transmission. But it is working. We are planning to apply for  a Tattoo Prepaid. They have a new plan Php1,299 monthly for 5mbps.  I hope it will work fine.
