May squatter area na malapit sa compound namin. Tapos ginagawa nilang "playground" yung ramp na papasok sa compound.
Kailangan silang babaran ng busina para umalis. As in hindi uubra yugn beep beep. Kailangan BEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEP.
And even after that, aalis lang sila ng saglit, siguro 5-10s. Pero babalik. Parang mga langaw na dumadapo sa pagkain. Hawiin mo ng kamay mo, magsisialisan. Pero babalik sa pagkain almost immediately.
Nung weekend, papasok na ako. Halos mamaos na yung busina ko para umalis sila. Tapos as I was making my approach doon sa ramp, they lost control of the stupid mini-basketball that they were playing with. The stupid ball rolled under my car.
Alam mo ginawa nung isa? He jumps in front of my car to stop me, parang MAPSA. Then he frikkin CRAWLS under my car to fetch his stupid mini basketball!
These are all 7-10 year old kids ha! All the while, wala yung mga lecheng magulang nila. Siguro nandon sa shanty nila gumagawa ng bagong bata or umaasa na masagasaan ko yung brood nila para may makolekta silang funds pambili ng alak.
Mga pun*eta*g skwater nga yan pati likod ng building namin madami.. and to think na 4 stories ang skwater sa likod namin and most likely, sa wall namin sila nakikikabit ng foundation.. i often hear them banging something on the wall or maybe sa flooring nila.. minsan gusto ko kumuha ng kerosene and burn them down.. tapos ang yayabang pa. And amg ingay nila
yong banging sound sa wall ninyo is a sign of the daga gang! pag pasok ninyo after a long weekend may butas na at nanakawan na kayo... i pag bawal ang SQUATERS!!!
May skwater dun sa likod ng lumang bahay namin dati na tuwing mag gagabi ikakabit sa parang box ng meralco ung wire nila. Lagi yun nasa 20 taon yata nakinabang sila doon. Nasira bakod namin dati dahil pinapatungan nila pag magkakabit. Tapos nabalitaan ko sa dating mga kapitbahay namin na nakuryente daw last month yung nagkakabit lagi ng kuryente. Di ko alam kung maawa ako o maiinis dahil sinisi pa meralco.
Meron kami dating puno ng aratilis sa harap ng bahay namin. Palaging inaakyat ng squatter.
Isang beses, nabali ang sanga at nahulog at napilayan. Aba, kinatok kami para humingi ng "konting tulong". Kasi daw puno daw namin yon at nasaktan daw sila.
Naknang!
Kinabukasang araw, pinaputol namin yung aratilis.
Mapapakamut ka na lang sa ulo pagnakita mo oto ng squatter na masmaganda pa sa oto mo:banghead:meron malapit kasi sa min nakahyundai accent pa.akala ko e driver lang un pala sa kanya talaga sa kanya.nak ng hipon ako hirap na abroad bayad tax etc etc dko basta maafford na bumili ng bago oto tsk tsk professional sauatting at its finest talaga.
malapit naman na i-bulldozer mga yan, nakuha na ng ayala ang lupa na yan tatayuan ng QC CBD.
maiba lang ako. Hindi ba nakakatawang isipin na yung torre de manila condo ay tinutuligsa kasi makakasira raw ng view. bakit hindi natin iaapply yung principle na yan sa mga squatters? Hindi ba nakakasira rin sila ng view? Ang nakakatawa pa rito, yung mga nasa condo, magbabayad na pambili ng condo plus yearly condo/residential tax pa nila. Yung mga taga squatters, walang bayad sa lupa at walang tax. Pero di ba parehas silang "panira ng view". Dapat equal ang batas sa mahirap at mayaman. bakit sa case na ganito, sa may pambayad lang inaapply?
katulad din ito sa kung magcounterflow ba ako sa may Agham road, huhulihin ba ako ng pulis? Pwede ko bang irason na sa araw araw na lang palaging nagcocounterflow ang mga hinayupak na pedicab, tricycle, motor doon, kahit na may sign na no counterflowing? Hindi ba sila hinuhuli kasi mahirap sila. So ligtas ka sa batas kasi mahirap?![]()
The government has always had double standards. The middle class gets squeezed the most and ends up paying for whatever services these freeloaders enjoy. Our government composed mostly of opportunistic politicians do not have the balls to do what needs to be done as they want to perpetuate their positions.
Yes and no.
First we need to understand that the notion of "poor people being poor because it is their choice" is rubbish. No one wants to be poor. But if you are born poor with little to no access to basic nutrition and health care, let alone education and opportunities for self-improvement, where do you really go from there? Or those people who found themselves here and are unable to return home?
City governments are realizing that urban poor populations are depriving their coffers of much needed income. More often than not, these squatters are cost centers that burden everyone. It really just comes to whether a city has come to that tipping point, wherein the cost of the votes have been superceded by the cost of squatting.
In my opinion, the only politicians with an incentive to keep the status quo on squatters are those on the left. Where else will they get their huddled disgruntled masses after all?
The bigger problem on a national scale are the rural poor who migrate to the city in search of opportunities. These are the people that local and national politicians often rely on for votes.
