    >If you are ever in the need to drive on the streets of
    >Manila the following rules may help you get to your
    >destination in one piece.
    >
    >THE FILIPINO DRIVER GREETING:
    >
    >When greeting a Filipino driver, slowly lower your
    >window and be prepared to greet the driver with, 'Tang
    >'namo, bobo!" However, if you have been already
    >addressed by a fellow driver, reply with a joyful,
    >"'Tang'namo rin, *#%$!"
    >
    >ON TURN SIGNALS:
    >If a driver in another lane turns on the turn signal,
    >do not let him go into your lane. In fact, press the
    >accelerator and start driving right next to him/her.
    >The fellow driver will probably greet you and you
    >already know what to do.
    >
    >ON TRAFFIC LIGHTS:
    >These amusing artifacts hang from intersections for no
    >apparent reason. Sometimes you will see drivers stop
    >to see the colors change on these lights (a
    >fascinating experience). Government officials
    >(specifically police) believe that each color stands
    >observation I have determined the following
    >instructions for each color:
    >
    >Yellow light - accelerate your car as much as you can.
    >Red light - this light gives permission to the next
    >five to six cars to go through.
    >Green light - reduce speed and wait for the five to
    >six cars passing through their respective red lights.
    >Little-known-fact: Time to start honking your horn, as
    >soon as the light turns green = 1.5 seconds.
    >
    >ON CHANGING LANES:
    >Changing lanes has been elevated to an art form in the
    >Philippines. First of all, no matter what you do,
    >never ever turn on your turn signal, otherwise you'll
    >stimulate the reaction described above. Second, swerve
    >your car uncontrollably to the lane you want to
    >hange, preferably if you end up within inches of a
    >car in that lane. At this point a greeting from
    >theother driver may be in order. To perfect your
    >change of lanes, reduce the speed of your car
    >dramatically in a matter of seconds and you will see
    >an action-packed reaction from the car behind you.
    >
    >ON TRAFFIC JAMS:
    >Traffic Jams are teeming with fun filled activities
    >such as:
    >1. Honking your horn rhythmically.
    >2. Putting on make-up (usually female drivers only).
    >3. Nose-pickers sightseeing (not to be confused with
    >people who scratch their brains through their nose).
    >4. Reducing speed to watch whatever is causing the
    >traffic jam. Add excitement by trying to see if you
    >know the parties involved.
    >(Note: Every Filipino driver is obliged to dothis.)
    >5. Losing weight by sweating like a pig as a result of
    >a lack of air conditioning.
    >6. Greeting other drivers.
    >7. Practicing lane changing.
    >8. Playing the game: Let's see how close I can get to
    >you before rear- ending you.
    >
    >ON PEDESTRIANS:
    >These individuals are an annoyance to the Filipino
    >driver. If you see pedestrians in your way,
    >accelerate your car to let them know who's the boss.If
    >you are at an intersection, let the pedestrians know
    >you want to proceed by accelerating your car and
    >honking at the last possible moment.
    >
    >ON SOCIAL SITUATIONS:
    >Bumping into a friend while driving (not to be
    >takenliterally) is a joyful occasion. Drivers should
    >reduce speed and stop their cars in the middle of the
    >street and chit chat. What about other drivers? Well,
    >they can wait.
    >
    >Bottleneck Formation - To accomplish this type of
    >driving, cars must block all lanes by driving at the
    >same speed and side by side (to avoid other cars to
    >pass). It is important to drive at a speed at least 20
    >mph below the speed limit.
    >The Three-Lane-Change - This movement requires a lotof
    >precision and creativity. It should be done around the
    >highest number of cars possible and in a matter of
    >seconds to create what others may refer to as
    >widespread panic.
    >
    >HERE'S ANOTHER RULE FOR DRIVING IN THE PHILIPPINES.
    >When the lanes going in your direction are jammed with
    >cars, try using the lanes from the oncoming traffic.
    >They are probably not occupied anyway because the
    >oncoming cars are stuck as well. How many of the other
    >direction's lanes should you occupy? As long as there
    >are lanes from the other direction to occupy, go ahead
    >and take more lanes. This move is sure to elicit
    >previously mentioned greetings from drivers of the
    >oncoming cars (and some have been known to get down
    >from their cars to personally deliver the greeting to
    >the out of lane driver). 9 out of 10 times it's sure
    >to make the traffic worse but then, hey, there's that
    >1 in 10 chance that you might actually get through
    >sooner than all those law-abiding losers. Filipino
    >drivers think that 1 in 10 chance is reason enough to
    >risk their life and limb and being profusely greeted
    >(besides, you can always turn up the windows and
    >pretend that you don't hear the greeting from the
    >other drivers).

    I've seen some signs such as:

    "Bawal umihi dito Huli putol t*ti"

    "Aso lang ang umiihi dito"

    "God knows Judas no pay, kaya barya lang po sa umaga"

    :lol:
