HK stops PAL flights for 2 weeks.

https://www.philstar.com/headlines/2...9LKaO6_K6TopGg

From the article:

The two-week ban, according to the South China Morning Post report, was imposed after three of the seven COVID-19 cases confirmed in Hong Kong on Sunday were found to have come from PALs flight PR300 from Manila.

PAL said all three passengers, two Filipinos and one Chinese national, presented negative COVID-19 test results when they checked in for their flight.

Six-day analysis, August 21 to August 27, for Delta. Cases up from 1273 to 1789, a 40% increase. Deaths up from 26 to 33, a 27% increase.

Dishonorable mention for P-3 variant: Cases up from 388 to 429, a 10% increase. The others are up about 5%.

Manila's MECQ extends for 2 more weeks.

Easy to hold up a bus, much harder to hold up a high speed train. Below is a video a guy taking a homemade cart for a ride on train tracks.

Interesting. Appears to be the narrow gauge southern arm of the PNR. Spent about 15 minutes hunting down the location. There is a Parian Road that transects the PNR at this angle in the Municipality of Calamba in Laguna Province. The low water river is presumably the San Juan River. Calamba had about 50,000 people, then it swelled to 80,000 over a span of three months ten years ago, because of relocating squatters from Metro Manila's flood-prone river banks. Calamba's officials had no say in the matter.

The relocation policy was a major failure because the relocation site had no nearby jobs, schools, or public transportation. Adults from the site simply returned to Manila during the week to find work, returning weekends to the family, and left kids behind in Calamba. Crime and teenage pregnancy spiked. Later some NGOs and the Catholic Church brought in livelihood centers, childcare, and social services.

Moral of the story: governments like the Philippines often apply knee-jerk solutions to problems that are much more complicated. The triggering event here was Typhoon Onday, which drowned a lot of squatters along the Marikina and Pasig Rivers and their tributaries. President Aquino blamed the squatters, claiming their homes blocked the normal flow of river water. He instructed the Department of Interior and Local Government to relocate them, even if it meant bulldozing down their shacks. So, geographic therapy: send them to some other unsuspecting local government and don't worry about problems like schools, transportation, and jobs.

Sorry. End of social studies lecture.

But there are other folks opposed to a rail line to Clark,..

Haha bragging? Complaining?

On a note completely unrelated to poon or Covid, the attached pic. Apparently a high-speed beast is to be built to run from Manila directly to Clark airport. The advertisement does not say the location in Manila; a reasonable guess would be NAIA.

Typical big talk from Filipino leaders who hope to benefit from it. This has been on the books for a number of years. The Manila end is supposed to be Tutuban station in Manila City just west of the Divisoria shopping areas. Why? Because there is already a right of way from the defunct northern arm of the Philippine National Railway. In theory, even the southern arm proceeds up through Manila, crossing under LRT1 at Blumentritt, and then swings south to Tutuban. The right of way has seen people grab the rails of the old northern arm and cash them in for scrap metal. But the right of way is there and visible on Google Earth, dotted here and there with some squatter homes. The old northern PNR was a single narrow gauge rail, whereas the new line will be twin rails of standard gauge.

There is some Japanese authority that is supposed to be building the new line. Interestingly, about three years ago concrete overhead bridge structure was built through Malabon and Valenzuela, but it peters out as it gets into Bulacan Province. Following the old route, it is supposed to go through Malolos in Bulacan and on to Angeles and Clark Field.

But there are other folks opposed to a rail line to Clark, since there are competing interests planning a new international airport for either Bulacan or Cavite. I'm sure it will all unfold in the very near future, just like the new LRT station at Trinoma Mall intended to link the MRT, LRT1 and new lines headed out Commonwealth Avenue and another to transcend Quezon City headed to Recto. It's all right around the corner.

I thought that must just about be ready to launch. In Clark it was planned to arrive at SM Clark mall and then connect to NAIA. It was on the books when I was working there in 2018.

My Filipina MILF comment was a complaint. Just one option.

I'm retired Military Medically Retired currently live in Sosua Dominican Republic what Information are you looking for. To be honest I'm going to go to Thailand over the PI but if I can help I'd be glad to.

Sorry for the late reply, had to do some underway time. I'm getting close to the end of the road and the state of the you. S leaves a lot to be desired. I've spent a lot of time in the PI over the years, so I know my pension + disability will go pretty far. I'm looking to see the experiences of others and formulate a game plan for when my time comes to hang up the uniform and migrate to greener pastures.

Here is a gem. Citations for mask-less, I understand, its the law. From the article:

At least 39,392 persons were accosted in Metro Manila for violating COVID-19 protocols since the region shifted to the less stringent modified enhanced community quarantine (MECQ)

The article was from several days ago. The number is now 50 k+ since Saturday.

Meanwhile back to poon, here in Au I'm just having my one local filipina MILF to fuck

On occasion those DOH-posted BioSurveillance reports would show up in the wastebook feed, just the picture with the raw numbers. I copied / pasted those pics and posted them here.

When I saw your post, I went to the DOH FB page (see first pic): https://www.facebook.com/OfficialDOHgov.

Then I scrolled down to the 7th or 8th post (see second pic) and found their most recent August 21 BioSurveillance report: https://www.facebook.com/OfficialDOH...7550311589517/.

Try going from there.

Surrounded by poon I have become interested in variants and viral load. #sumptinswrong.

Cheers. I followed the fb links and found the screenshots.

Unfortunately some of the comments on the post have severely impact my intelligence and I do wonder about the future.

Meanwhile back to poon, here in Au I'm just having my one local filipina MILF to fuck and sadly it's not appropriate in the west to ask to access her 20 yo daughter. Whereas if I was sitting in a tacloban hotel it would seem a reasonable request.

Westie, I cannot see these tables on their website at https://pgc.up.edu.ph/pgc-covid-19-updates/. I want to understand what is the number they are sequencing.

How did you find a virgin girl in Cebu, and also how do you trust that she is a virgin?

Like I said supposedly virgin. Would not know till I have sex with. She is definitely not tomboy. I have chatted with her many times cam to cam. Not a real beauty by any means. Maybe that is why she maybe a virgin.

My report is just out of frustration. With covid and its variants and Philippines and Thailand not open and maybe unlikely to open till next year.

Who knows by the time I go in March what will happen with virgin or anyone else. Girls are always here and now mode. I do not blame them. Previously I have supported girls for couple of years and they have given good service. At the same time I am under no illusion she is not fucking around or supporting her boyfriend. All those girls were really beautiful with nice bodies.

All the girls including virgin has suggested money donation which I politely refuse.

Another one of those BioSurveillance Reports. From August 11 and August 21, the10-day change in numbers. Delta variant:

Cases from 627 to 1273, increase of 103%. Deaths from 13 to 26, increase of 100%.

The other variants are up about 5%.

Westie, I cannot see these tables on their website at https://pgc.up.edu.ph/pgc-covid-19-updates/. I want to understand what is the number they are sequencing. The table shows 3,500-4,000 sequenced in a week but DOH figures show they are recording 95,000 cases in a week. How random is their sampling?
