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...

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."

this is just another one of those misplaced papogi points some filipino
politicos are guilty of. carolling gives some of this kids something better to
do compared to sniffing glue or selling their bodies to some pedo. if they
ban this would they ban the kids selling cigarrettes and sampaguita flowers
in the streets too ? its such an anti poor measure that its ridiculous.

MMDA has no legislative powers over the local government units.
It seems that the MMDA needs to be reminded that it is merely a coordinating
body and has no authority to pass ordinances. This was the ruling of the
Supreme Court.
The Supreme Court said in March 2000 that the MMDA is not a political unit, but
a mere administrative agency attached to the Office of the President. As such,
the MMDA has no legislative powers and cannot, therefore, enact ordinances and
resolutions.

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
..."


For Filipinos when

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?

"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..."

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.

------------------
Now I understand. What is being banned are people going from vehicle to
vehicle during a traffic stop. The traditional house-to-house carolling is
not banned.

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.

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

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

do something to feed themselves.

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.

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.

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

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.

Just be patient, good things need time, and bad habits root deep. I´m sure
Rennie will get used to it within the coming weeks and he will be Mister SCF
by the end of this year. :-)

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.

Personal responsibility has become the domain of the right wing. The lefties
have abdicated all concept of personal responsibility and have replaced it
with socialism, communism, and all of the other ill-conceived and unworkable
"isms". Look at the "blue" states with their huge cities and vast ghetto
vote bases. It's time the USA overhaul's their constitution and restricts
voting to land-owners and drops their welfare schemes. Get rid of the
minimum wage, unions and welfare and everyone will be working -
competitively. It's just a thought.

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

There are so many models to copy from, Europe and Eastern Europe where

What is so funny, my project manager was complaining to me"Why are you

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

First is the jobs to go to, roads to reach it, then housing projects.

Women take their bathroom frolics differently than men. For women, the
bathroom is a social venue. Women discuss important issues such as broken
nails and new hairdos in the privacy of the lavatory. For men, the bathroom
is a place to avoid if you can.

In conclusion, women can't socialise if they just pee near a wall.

It doesn't matter. The bottomline is: these people are squatting and should
go. They should be thankful that they are being relocated. If they don't
like the new relocation site, they don't have to go so long as they don't
return to squatting. Is this too much to ask?

What would you expect? The govt is poor also. They can only afford cheap
land to relocate these squatters. The land is cheap because there are no
roads yet. Where did they expect to be relocated? The posh suburbs of Ayala
Alabang or Corinthian Gardens Quezon city. They gotta be realistic!

Since those squatters will never be happy with whatever they're given, then
THEY SHOULDN'T BE GIVEN ANYTHING AT ALL. Just evict those law breakers and
they go figure out where they can live without breaking the law again.

With the lacking in law enforcement, they probably would. I pity the land
owner of the squatted land.

some of the land being squatted on are long idle lands used for garbage or in
lands most ordinary people dont put houses in like near railroad tracks,
under bridges, near garbage dumps, on muddy coastal areas, or in river sides.
they are one majior source of water pollution thu . study of pollutants in
laguna show that it mostly comes from human wastes and not from factories.
thats why the fish in fishponds there are smaller and takes longer to grow.
why the water is murky and it is harder to fish .

Are you suggesting the govt. just shoot them?
You cannot just throw them out, that is a fact. It has to be done
properly and it has been done. They were removed to reclaimed lands,
that is fine, but you know that they would move to where they can make a
living.

The whole country is actually suffering not because of them, but because
the roads are small and could not take the beating of real big semi's.
Uhhh... I don't know the proper term for Ozzies on this.
There is a solution that would make everyone happy.

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.

I had actually witnessed someone collecting money for rent from those
guys! What do you want videos? I would do that just for your pleasure!

Your denial amazes me, I have said this before and I didn't say that
without my personal experience from being there. Well, I didn't live
there, but I stayed at my friend's place.

Why not give them cars, as someone suggested?

Lorry. Lorryski to the Pollack-Ozzies.

This will also give a big boost to our fledgeling enterprise.

You will not bring up the subject of cars for squatters if you don't want
them to have cars, ok, stupid? You would have mentioned skates, bikes,
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.

Manila became a city before the Spaniards arrived and people lived like
that from the start. There were land owners then too, but those are
arrable land and MAnila was so swampy, you can grow rice only (and the
traditional swamp plant life like nila, or indigo bushes of wich the
word May-nila(d) came from).
Not just Magsaysay.

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.
