And who has build the infrasteucture(base stations, computericed terminals etc, phone lines etc etc???). In my country we have this big Telenor company(Dtac in Thailand, they buy themself into many other countries these days as well especially in Asian countries as it is a blooming market in most of them maby except phils as they are slacking behind big time in many ways), they own all infrasteucture and other companies have to rent from their infrasteucture, all the time the norwegian government owns 51% of the Telenor the other companies dont dare to put down the customer services as if they try they get threatned they will loose the access to the infrastructure.

In most legal systems with which I'm familiar, once a contract date has passed, and once all terms and conditions have been met, the contract is over. There's nothing left to do. That's not the case here, and evidently Globe has the right under what passes for a legal system here, just to keep on billing. I tried to inform Globe at one of its offices in Davao of my intention not to renew and was told that I must call Manila and speak to someone there.
It's a terrible company, poorly managed, lousy service and a total indifference to its customers. Smart isn't much better, but I know two people who work in the company and get better service. Plus, at least in Manila and Davao, I think that Smart's signal strength is slightly better.

Posts: 1459All in all I don't find much to whinge about in the Philippines. But golly, sometimes I'm driven to wit's end. Globe Telecom, I'm talking about you. I needed to call their office at Mall of Asia. A google doesn't find me the number. Visited Globe's websites. All the offices are listed with exact address, none with phone numbers. Globe's online chat isn't monitored. I call Globe's customer disservice number. They have no idea what the number is and no email address of a POC either. I'm told to email their customer service team. I do. I receive an automated reply with a link to form I must complete. I start the form and I'm required to provide information that isn't relevant and also other info I don't have; I'm not a globe customer, and it's now certain I will remain that way. This a communication company that can't communicate with its own offices. This is a telco that doesn't know its phone numbers. This is an information technology company without some of the most basic information. /rant
If anyone happens to be at MOA in the north building on the 2nd level could you walk in and ask them what their office telephone number is or some way of communicating to a worker in that exact office I'd really appreciate if you could PM me. Thank you.

Aquino said he has visited Tacloban too many times.
And then his defenders go 'Aceh took 5 years to get back to normalcy'.
Well, Aceh was totally wiped out, vs Tacloban, which had malls and all up and running in a month, so Vs Aceh the damage here was pretty low.
Then again, touch wood, hope not another typhoon will traverse the Tacloban / Leyte area or the apologists will blame the next typhoon.
Maybe it's planning to stretch recovery so there is something happening.
Imagine the trouble if Tacloban was fixed fast and no more typhoon comes. The rulers will have to face other problems.

This is the first anniversary of Typhoon Yolanda, one of the most devastating storms of all time. Tacloban was the center of the surge that destroyed the city and caused several thousand deaths. Huge international relief effort and many hundreds of millions of dollars collected. The world's focus on this disaster filled the news for the next several weeks. So, today, what's the result of all this grief and worldwide attention? Almost All of the refugees are still in temporary dwellings or cobbled together shacks. Most incredibly, President Acquino has never visited Tacloban! Only in the Philippines.

Posts: 704Leasing land
Thanks Hutsori. Very useful.
Reading the provisions and limitations would seem to preclude me from long term lease of land for the purpose of constructing a dwelling.
Too bad.
I am aware of the situation regarding land titling in the Philippines, and I have commented on this several times on this forum.
For several years I worked on a lant titling project in the Philippines. It was more than illuminating, I can tell you.

I am not sure why you had such a problem with your SIM as mentioned above and in a previous post.
My wife and I both obtained new postpaid SIMS from Globe just last week.
Both were activated by a customer assistant as we sat in the Globe office in Podium in Ortigas.
The whole exercise took less than 10 minutes from start to finish.
It was handled most efficiently because we made a personal appearance.

If it was not for the EURO and the included removal of this "safety valve" most of the smaller economies of the EU would have been wiped out by the chain of economic and banking crises. Even the larger EU economies would have been too small to withstand the stress. Now it is a matter of "united we stand - like it or not". The larger EURO economies cannot dump the smaller ones anymore.
What we need is more central economic and monetary authority, not less. If Europe had a better auditing authority in place, Greece would have been found out cooking their books much earlier and the problems would have been less.
The USA is a perfect example: does each of the States have their own currency? Can they devaluate / revaluate their currency? Of course not! The idea is preposterous. Then why should European (and in the future, ASEAN) countries still be able to do that? Unless and until the step to a common currency is taken, there will never be a "common" economy and free movement of people, goods and services between the Member states will remain a dream.
