This Is It! I'm Finally Leaving The Philippines 

It’s afternoon in AK (Alaska). I actually noticed it this morning but didn’t say anything. Been busy in the garden 😊

@@milanice5730How’s ur garden? I think it’s boiling in LA … am worried about my plants and cats.

@@deetlIt’s 81 degrees in L.A., according to my weather app, but extreme heat is supposed to be building to go up to 110 degrees. I hope your beloved pets and plants will be ok. Here in AK, we’ve been experiencing an unusually very dry spring through early summer into July now. Though temps are always mild compared to Outside (the lower 48 states), it’s rain that we need. 😢

Thank you, I will

And where is tom

​@juliethzebele Tom is back home (Ireland) with his girlfriend.

Thank you! 😃

Thank you! You too!

Because of the many thousands of undocumented Filipino TNTs and international laws preventing human trafficking from Asia .

And wait until they're buckled up before driving off

Congratulations you are the 274 millionth person to make that comment. It will make zero difference. Police officers will ride motorcycles to work with no helmets or shoes, just because there are rules nobody follows them. The only thing that keeps traffic deaths below 10,000 per year is the poor roads and congestion so nobody can drive fast enough to get killed.

You mean … him? He’s shy, the closest we’ve seen him was when Robbie bade goodbye in January in her mom’s place.

Not counted the travel time

Sounds about right

Hope they go to Prague - one of the most beautiful cities in Europe!

The strict guidelines were originally written to protect Filipinos from human trafficking and illegal foreign job employment, but because of the backlash, they were supposed to have been modified

@@milanice5730 I get the reasons why... but that doesn't make it right. Free people are not the property of their governments and as adults are fully capable of making their own decisions. These kinds of controls over the free movement of people goes on in countries like China and North Korea... and was SOP in the former Soviet Union.

@@TheJhn924 I haven’t heard about the kinds of changes that were made, if any

@@TheJhn924 Of course, it doesn’t make it right. Hence, the backlash. Although the Filipinos fought courageously against colonialism and exploitation that lasted for centuries, the colonial mentality of feeling inferior (to foreign cultures and authenticities ~ and the wealthy and powerful, meaning politicians in the modern era ~ still prevails. It’s encouraging, though, that many more people, especially the young, are making their voices known

If you don't understand anything about how immigration works, then you better not say anything at all. Immigration control is very important wherever you are in the world to prevent your citizens from getting into trouble abroad. In the USA where they don't impose strict implementation of its citizens traveling abroad, many of its criminals are able to escape prosecution and make their way easily to other countries like the Philippines. Unfortunately for them, they get caught by the Philippines local police despite their illegal entry. Last week, for example, an Australian drug leader with direct connection to Mexican drug cartel, was caught in his hideout in the western Cebu town after months of surveillance after he was reported to be hiding somewhere in Cebu. Before that, there have been many foreign fugitives caught in the Philippines by the local police whose crimes range from drug trafficking, sexual offenses, to major theft.

Thank you, I will
