    all others, they have to file for one from the PNP.

    but the most commonly encountered ones, the Charons (escorts for the dead)... are they even filed for?

    heh heh.
    I noticed they don't have plates but they got "pulis" markings all over. Their bikes seem to be that of the police but how easy is it to acquire one for private use? No identifying marks on the uniforms. If my assumption is correct, they might be personal guards acting like police escorts.

    Might be good if someone could create a carwash app. Pwedeng home service or geo fencing. Sabay mo na ang rating, availability, and booking. ☺️

    we should really get tough on these plate-less or illegally-plated vehicles.

    In relation to that, it's easier for rich kids to take risks

    In the local Chinese community, a fresh grad can tell his parents he wants to start a business and the parents would provide him capital and advice

    If the business fails he has his parents to fall back on

    That safety net allows rich kids to take more risk and therefore more chances to increase wealth

    We always hear rags to riches stories but those are actually quite rare compared to those who increased their wealth coz they already had wealth to begin with

    Yeah there's another article about that:

    Entrepreneurs don’t have a special gene for risk—they come from families with money — Quartz

    But what often gets lost in these conversations is that the most common shared trait among entrepreneurs is access to financial capital—family money, an inheritance, or a pedigree and connections that allow for access to financial stability. While it seems that entrepreneurs tend to have an admirable penchant for risk, it’s usually that access to money which allows them to take risks.

    It's weird but financial success was never a driver for me. Maybe my backstabbing officemate was right when she told our local dept head wala ako ambition sa buhay.

    I would consider myself a success if I were a housewife with a happy family, good health and just a little upgrade from my lifestyle. Yun kasi gusto namin lahat ng friends ko bata pa lang kami (to be a housewife hahaha) Currently I am a big failure.

    I will not be like my Mom who insisted on working when my paternal Lola wanted her to stay home. So she should not be jealous that I'm attached to the person who really took care of me since I was a baby.

    Maybe there really are girls who were bred to be housewives he he

    My friend (or ex friend) Rowena comes from a wealthy Chinese family but all the women in their family aren't allowed to work in their company

    All she does is spend her dad's money

    Talaga bred to be a housewife

    Goal is mag asawa ng isang Chinese guy na kasing yaman o mas mayaman and spend the husband's money

    May Chinese term dyan... Tay tay (woman of leisure)

    Ito ung mga misis na makikita mo wala na ginawa kundi mag shopping, mag spa, mag travel using husbands' credit card

    *Jut: This reminds me to ask you about Sorrento Oasis. Is this a good location for investment?

    I'd feel guilty to be a "woman of leisure" spending my husband's money on shopping etc.. Plus I'd make sure to I have my own money para di ako apihin

    I'm just happier staying at home, cooking, going to the grocery, decorating the house, organizing parties etc. I've been working for almost 10 years so I could say that I know the feeling of having a career. I like domestic duties better.

    Kaya napakaswerte ng mga babae who have husbands who earn enough that they can afford to be housewives. Happy na ko basta I get to maintain my lifestyle now as a single person
