^There's a height requirement hahahhahahah [quote=MC-ngapalanamekoikaw;#276682;1345610093]I think, i want to be a firefighter now[/quote] Haha. Just submit requirements at their office. [quote=bobcbar;#276698;1345611153]But wouldn't you rather have a highly paid firefighter come to your burning house than an underpaid teacher[/quote] My point view is that, those who worked harder everyday deserves to have higher salary than those just slacking off. My friend just spends her time downloading movies and browsing 9gag all day long. Oh, did I tell you that they have wi-fi access also? Pretty neat but meh. [quote=bramzero;#276896;1345639301]Inflation, dear belle. Costs and prices of everything always increase. Such measly wage increase is just an illusion it will never keep up with the prices of daily needs.[/quote] But a wage increase would definitely be a big help and would certainly make things lighter. [quote=bramzero;#276896;1345639301]Maybe teachers should consider changing professions to arsonists.[/quote] They would if arsonists are considered a noble profession and have high salary. [quote=bramzero;#276896;1345639301]There's this guy who started a small hotel in Phil, he's required to install fire extinguishers to obtain some necessary permit. A typical business-minded person, he looked for the correct type/spec and found a supplier with the best price. The permit was refused, he was told to repurchase all the fire extinguishers from a designated supplier... who happened to be the brother of the city mayor. The price is of course, multiple times of the normal list price. I once had a lunch in a small resto in Davao. Talked a bit with the middle-aged woman there who turned out to be the owner. She's furious about someone from BIR (Bureau of Internal Revenue) who said her cash register is the wrong type and was threatening her to replace it unless... you know. Also I got the impression that many (if not most) nice and young Filipino seems to take every possible chance to relocate/work abroad instead of devoting substantial energy and capital to start something there. The country is left with tambay ppl. Business atmosphere is not good. Economic restoration? No hope.[/quote] Yeah, I know. Corruption is so rampant in this country. I hope Mayor Lim will be president of the Philippines. He'll just kill those lawbreakers secretly and we'll see more floating bodies in the river than the usual. I bet crime rates would drop also once he's the president. [quote=bramzero;#276896;1345639301]What should I drink then? Tanduay ice and stuff? No I don't want to have cirrhosis[/quote] [img]http://sphotos-a.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ash3/c0.0.403.403/p403x403/552075_10151011901692569_380024714_n.jpg[/img] Try this one, for all pogi people.
