Rennie, could you please say it in English? WHAT is banned, and WHY?
Didn´t Get It Piggy
My interpretation, based upon years of studying the convoluted and primitive
dialect of the indigenous Renowl, is that singing on the streets (caroling
generally refers to the singing of Christmas songs) has been legally
restricted in MM.
Or, he is referring to a native ritual where women named "Carol" are hunted
down, mounted, and stuffed. No, that doesn't sound right either...
Oh, well, Maybe Chris can translate Pig
He actually was. Carolling in the neighborhood is popular in the
Philippines, wherein kids or adults walk from house to house by the front
door and sing Christmas carols. The all-time favorites are, "Ang Pasko ay
Sumapit" (Christmas is here), "Sa Maybahay ang Aming Bati" (Good tidings to
you) , "Pasko Na Namang Muli" (It's Christmas once more), and ending in We
Wish You A Merry Christmas". If the homeowner gives them something (usually
cash, sometimes food), they will usually sing, "Thank You, thank you!". But
if the amount does not meet their expectation, they will add, "Ang babarat
ninyo (you're such a cheapskate) , thank you."
You must understand Filipino English, in English carol is not a verb and
cannot take the form of "carolling", it is a noun. For Filipinos when
you go out and sing carols(Christmas songs) you are carol-ling. It
becomes a verb, because Filipino languages allows this.
Now, they banned this, you see, every year, someone has to find
justification for their existence regardless of Philippine attitude
about things they go about "outlawing" what they didn't like, does it
change anyhting? No! It goes on.
Another law people would ignore. Theres plenty of it.

Actually "carol" as a verb - "to sing a lively or joyous song" - dates from
16th century English (according to the Oxford dictionary), and has been in
use ever since, particularly at the Xmas season. Cf. the popular carol that
begins "Carolling, carolling through the woods, Christmas bells are ringing
..."

Filipino English is indeed distinctive and colorful, but in this instance
they are using standard English. As previously noted, sometimes Filipinos
use words, like "viand," that have fallen out of fashion elsewhere in the
English-speaking world. Perhaps that's what's happening here - perhaps a
generation of Americans younger than myself are no longer familiar with
"carolling" as a verb?
Father Christmas Pig
Your "sometimes" noted.
Unfortunately, the Philippines does not have a federal form of government.
Go figure.
"Carol" is a noun; carolling is a verb or gerund. Haven't you heard of the
song that goes, "Here we come a-carolling, here we come a-carolling..."
I prefer the more cheery "Rudolph roasting on an open fire, chestnuts
shoved up his nose......"
Should It Be Randolph Pig?
My bad
Guess I am not familiar with it as a verb. Still, Filipino English do
allow all nouns to become a verb, especially when it is a foreign word.

This does not sound like a real annoyance - why is it banned?
Awit Ng Pasko Piggy
Perhaps Renowl can enlighten us why it is being banned. Afterall he started
this thread. As far as I can infer form his original post, he said
something like it is "dangerous and could lead to street fatalities". It
realy doesn't make any sense to me. If they're crowding the streets that is
against ordinance in itself; no need to ban carolling but impose rules on
obstructing traffic.
But this is not CAROLLING. This is BEGGING WITH XMAS SONGS. :-)

Caroling in RP is nothing but door to door begging. Proceeds are just split
between the joyous carolers. Homeowners feel compelled to give even if they
don't want to. Turning carolers away or not giving enough can result in
nasty Season's Greetings at the least, and a landscaping job at the worst.

He delivers with little fanfare but always accurate.
> dont sell mmda short these guys are really into it. ask the vendors
mmda would rather have malls instead of street vendors, the whole effort
is to "Westernize" and gentrify Manila area, an effort like this would
remove the squatters a last faster than forcibly removing them, because
those strips of land they occupy becomes so precious, the owners may
decide to develop finally.
It is a double edge sword, always have been even here in the US.
and one wonders where the mmda will hide the squatters next? will they just
ban them from working on the streets and provide an AFFORDABLE alternative
or just shoo them away hoping that they would just disappear? street busking
have an appeal on their own. haggling and searching thru the warrens of street
vendors is an adventure in itself something the sterile malls does not
provide.
because the mmda have nothing better to do but annoy and pester powerless
street urchins who are just looking for some money to feed themselves thru
caroling .mmda have already keep hassling them from street vending . mmda has
already evicted lots of their poor families from their makeshift houses.
what more do they want? have them commit mass harakiri so problem would be
conveniently solved? they are not going to disappear. starving people need to
do something to feed themselves.
Whatever happened to the relocation project to Sapang Palay?
Ditto with evicting them from their makeshift homes. Those makeshift homes
are fire hazards! If a fire breaks out in a slum community, the government
is always to blame although government did not build those slum communities.
People are better off homeless than die in a fire: homeless is the lesser of
two evils.

I am not so sure about which is the lesser of two evils - both are cruel in
different ways. It seems to me that not street carolling or illegal
squatting is the real problem, but law enforcement. If it is prohibited to
jaywalk it doesn´t matter whether you are carolling while you do it or not.

Again, this is a question of law enforcement. People only build up makeshift
homes as long as nobody stops them from doing it. To tolerate it in the
first place and evict the sqatters after a while seems a bit unfair.

Soft Touch Piggy
Squatters would continue to increase, even with gentrification and
forcibly relocating them, the reason? Jobs, people need jobs so they
will venture out even in makeshift homes to find it.
There are more ways to earn a living in Manila, lots of them outside of
the real economy. The money's small but better than nothing. you won't
find in in places where they are being relocated to.

o myy god. did you just say what you did marie antonnette? i guess for you
its ok for the poor to die from the elements [ bagyo, cold winds, hot
summers] than to die being barbecued in a fire . dead is dead. these poor
people are trying their best to survive and you worry about firehazars?
even middle class houses [ not your elite ritzy freinds] in manila are
firehazards. many of the old houses has not been upgraded and electric wires
zigzag and crisscross all over the city. do you propose we demolish them too ?
face it , the government destroy poor peoples houses, and livelihoods easier
at the drop of a hat because they are more vulnerable and cant sue or create
trouble compared to a middle class or the rich . they only worry about the
poor when its election time or when they rise up ala edsa or go to the hills
and take up arms.
Since the indepandence of the Philippines, efforts had been made to do
that with the same result. The sad thing is noone thought that moving
jobs to the area first and then moving people, or low-income housing to
the area is the best solution.
Without any infrastructures except for buildings who would want to live
there?
The only time such an effort became successful is when Brazil decided to
creat Brasilia as a new capital, that worked because they moved the
national offices there.
Noone forced them to squat!

Where is the sense of personal responsibility of these people. Who told them
to squat? Who told them to make dozens of kids when they have nothing to
feed them? The parents of these kids should be held responsible for their
actions.

Does it really matter if more die of sickness than from car crashes. The
blame is back to these parents who had too many children they can't afford.
Why do some people work hard THE SAFE and LEGAL WAY and then some people
expect to BAILED OUT of their follies?

--------------
They don't have to be demolished. They can be inspected and the necessary
upgrade should be done to keep them compliant with the fire code. As for
these illegal makeshift homes? There's no way to upgrade them to make them
compliant with the fire code. They have to be DEMOLISHED because they're
ILLEGAL in the first place.

The government should not worry about them at all. F*CK them all! Everyone
should face their personal responsibility and make their own lives within
the law and the fire code.

Of course we should do the right things with or without laws, but people
have different concepts of what IS the right thing. So there are laws to
tell the people what to do, no matter what they personally define as
"right".
My point was, that in the Philippines there already ARE laws which prohibit
pedestrians to walk on busy streets, so instead of making another law for
street caroling, it´s better to enforce the law which is already there, it
applies to the street caroling people.

That´s a different thing. I think if you don´t inhibit people from squatting
for months and years, they will get the imagination that it is okay to do
it. That´s not just a Filipino problem. Also in Germany sometimes people
would build up shacks and houses somewhere without a permission as long as
they get away with it. But in most cases the police will show up und evict
the squatters and tear their buildings down very quickly, so people are
disencouraged to do it. The same goes for sidewalk vendors - in Germany,
they could not stay there fore one day, this I´m sure. In Manila, it is
prohibited, but in fact tolerated. That´s why I can´t blame the vendors.

Taking this meandering thread off in another direction here, I mention
that I have many times observed Filipino men urinating in public
against any vertical-oriented object which was available -- to the
degree that there is a heavy a urine stink in many places. On the
other hand, I have only once or twice seen a Filipino woman urinating
in public.
Do Filipino women have larger bladders than Filipino men, or what?
Inquiring minds want to know.

This ban is just one of those laws that people would ignore. It would
only give law enforcement reason to arrest someone they want to arrest
at Christmas time.
To get the poor out of the City? Encourage small businesses to move,
make some roads, and create low-income housing. People would move with it.
People would move to where there are jobs.

Well, according to the sage u-renowl-a, if the poor have cars, they won't
need to move from the shantytowns but instead commute to their out of town
jobs. This nugget of wisdom should be picked up by social scientists from
far and wide for its originality in approach. I never woulda thunk of this
by mesself.

Respond to the Stupidity Poll!
wow and piggie claims to be smart. show the exact quote please that says renowl
wants the poor to have cars ? this is a quote from dirty sick pig who says he
is very smart and very educated with tons of college degrees. remember that
Hows about public transportation? That would work, but what happened is
that the places where they threw people into has no real roads going
into it.
There are so many models to copy from, Europe and Eastern Europe where
it has been done with so much success, in Eastern Europe, greater
success happened when USSR fell. Now they have real jobs where they
live. Still poor, but better than before.
What is so funny, my project manager was complaining to me"Why are you
always complaining about USSR style housing here?", I have to, imagine
rows and rows of big buildings, they all look alike and no factories for
miles until you get out of the area (a city of public housing), now,
they have businesses locally, but it still look ugly.
But it worked, Philippine poor is less than Eastern European poor if you
think about it, the problem in the Philippines is that there are few
people serious enough to do anything about it.
First is the jobs to go to, roads to reach it, then housing projects.
You cannot start a housing project without continuing with more.
In conclusion, women can't socialise if they just pee near a wall.

You don't reward them, you are making a mistake if you think they'll
disappear by just throwing them out. This is a big mistake, one that
governments had always made a mistake on.
There's always people "giving" them a place to squat on, yes, JT, you
don't know nor have you even tried to find out. One needs a place to
stay, you can always find one in squatter land, for a fee just like
anyplace in the world. It is not for free.
Who are they renting the place from? Find that out, and you'll find a
mess of snakes, among govt. officials and more.

mopeds, tricycles, dog sleds, etc. But you said, CAR. That is why you are
stupid.

I just read a story of people in a barangay called "Magsaysay" in Tondo.
They say that there have been no land owners so far when the first squatters
arrived,, because they dwelled on river banks, swampy land, waste dumps etc,
so they stole the land from nobody.
If this is true, it is problematic to expel them from their homes just
because TODAY the land is needed for more lucrative purposes.
Pristeen Garbage Dump Piggy
Anyway, when I was a kid, squatting was actually encouraged by some land
owners because they could not find any use for the swampy land, they
actually collect rent. Of course as time goes on population grew and
land became expensive, the swamps became garbage dumps. Vermin is all
over, the 70s it is bad, then it got even worse.
This is what is bad in the Philippines, idle lands just don't sit idle,
someone would always come in to ask if they could build a temporary
shelter for their son or whatever, the land owner agrees for a fee then
he discovers more than one person would occupy it, then some would even
sublet the site and so on and so on...
This also happen outside of Manila, it gets out of hand if you let it
happen, in Manila, people let it happen for many generations. Now, you
cannot control that and throw people out. You just can't. Some can
actually produce paperwork to show a lifetime lease, believe it or not,
written before Americans have arrived.
Since I am a Manila boy and have criss-crossed the city, I have met a
guy who could produce such document of rental, in Santa Ana, in Tondo
and so on.
