Skid marks! Hahaha :laughbounce:

Pero pano nga po yung masasabi nyo dun sa mga toilets na may water spray na sa tabi ng bowl? Malaki pa din ang chance na kakalat yung tubig diba? Common sa UAE yang ganyang CR. Does that mean ba na hindi din hygeinic yung style nila dun?

Pero napansin ko nga po na kung may water spray yung toilet, hindi lang sa floor yung tubig kung hindi sa upuan din. Baka isa ding reason yun kaya nagalit yung mga Aussies.

it's the use of the hand

it's the touching of the bare hands on the poo that's the issue

not exactly the use of water

and it's not about the water being kalat all over the toilet

the concern is the hands touching poo then touching everything else like door handles and light switches and keyboards and everything else other people also touch

spread of disease

that's the concern

ok?

Philippines to look into case of sacked OFW in Australia

MANILA, Philippines - Malacañang directed Wednesday the Department of Foreign Affairs to look into the case of a 43-year-old Filipino contract worker in Australia who was reportedly sacked from his job due to his “un-Australian" toilet habits.

"It is the job of the government through the DFA, through our embassies or consular offices, to extend assistance to our citizens in whatever problem they may have abroad and this is no exception," Executive Secretary Eduardo Ermita said.

Ermita added: "I will inform the DFA to find out what needs to be done if he feels aggrieved, if he feels unjustness in the situation and let's find out what the DFA can do to look at the interest of this person."

Ermita said he asked the DFA to raise the issue to the "attention of proper channels" including the diplomatic channels for possible action.

Amador Bernabe, a machine operator of Townsville Engineering industries, was reportedly sacked over his toilet habits, which some of his co-workers and employers find "unhygienic."

The company said Bernabe's attention had already been called several times after his co-workers complained of the toilet cubical being splashed with water and wet soggy toilet paper lying on the floor every time he uses it. Bernabe, however, continued using water to clean himself instead of the Australian accepted practice of using toilet papers.

Company manager Byron Carter said Bernabe had also been warned of possible termination unless he changed his ways.

On Jan. 26, however, Bernabe had an argument with his foreman after the latter reminded the OFW of his toilet habits. The foreman even followed Bernabe to the bathroom to ensure that he complies.

The Australian Manufacturing Worker's Union said Bernabe was sacked not for going to the toilet the un-Australian way but for not reporting for work after the incident. - GMANews.TV
