bakit ang dami yata nila nagkalat dito sa pinas. nag migrate narin yata pati buong pamilya.

dami ko kasi nakikitang tsikot ng diplomat lalo na bandang ayala-forbes park. kadalasan naman, pinoy rin ang may dala, another style din ba ito para mkalusot sa traffic violations?

maybe this site will help you

Meron akong naalala na balita noon na meron traffic voilation ang isang diplomat at hinuli pinagmamalaki nito na hindi siya pwedeng hulihin kasi meron siyang diplomatic immunity pero parang sagot ng mayor siya meron pero yung sasakyan niya wala kaya hinatak ang sasakyan niya. kahit meron silang immunity kailangan ipakita parin sa kanila na mali ang kanilang ginagawa kasi mga abusado na masyado, kung sa sarili nilang bansa hindi ng nila magawa yung mga arte nila dito lang kasi kinukunsinte.

maybe this will give you a hint of diplomatic immunity. it's not OT but it certainly tells the truth.

yup they are appointed but who are those people who appoints them, govt officials which we voted=)

ot: i know they should be given proper respect as they are the states dignitaries, however they must make it a point they they dont get overboard, with whom no politician do, they all go overboard

Recently kasi I saw a black 300C witn 1000 as its plate, cross thru a red light in Ayala nearly bumping into two cars. Just this morning, I saw a brown Jeep with plate 2307, made a daring U-turn on an intersection that has a no U-turn sign on it.

Straight answer -> yes pagdating sa mga traffic rules pwede silang mag park or mag hintay sa isang no parking no waiting sign.. Walang odd-even scheme sa kanila..

Di ko nga lang alam kung ang immunity nila ay extended pag nakagawa sila ng crime.

Diplomatic Immunity, this reminds me of Leathal Weapon Movie where this South African diplomat shot Mel Gibson on the movie. Danny Glover aimed his gun at the diplomat, the diplomat said " Diplomatic Immunity", Danny Glover shot him in the forehead and said " Just been Revoked"...

yes, they should follow our rules, but that is beside the point the TS is asking if they are immune and not if they should follow or not...

yes, not just the US embassy but other countries as well, and baka hinde naman yun mga embassy people nakikita mo, AFAIK yun 4 digits na diplomatic plate lang nag connected sa mga embassies, yun mga 5 digits are NGO firm yata, like mga people working sa ADB diplomatic plate din sila but 5 digits...tapos tax free ang mga pinapasok nilang kotse dito..sarap!!!

no, it's not another way para makalusot, if your not a diplomat hinde ka talaga makakakuha ng diplomatic plate...

Meron din mga hindi diplomats na nakakakuha ng mga diplomatic plates. Pilipinas pa?!?

There used to be a Range Rover here in the Makati area... man he would run against busy one way streets (like Leviste and Villar Sts.), run on the sidewalks of Paseo de Roxas when it's traffic, etc.

So much for diplomacy.
