BTW, this process of paying salary thru a debit card is not that unusual. Have seen it in Phils and in my country.
AP, are you saying that the lady I saw at the ATM machine might have been HR, with garnisheed debit cards? I recall both her and the lady in Manila at the ATM's had hodge-podges of different bank's cards, they were not from one bank. I would assume most companies using debit cards would use just one bank.

It is our company policy that if an employee can not produce their ATM card (ie it is being garnisheed) then the card is immediately cancelled by HR and a new card issued. The money lender has to make other means and ultimately all the lenders know not to accept \XYZ Inc\ cards.

Saw an oddity, twice. Once in Manila a few months back, and another recently here. Walking past a BDO in Manila near my place, about 7 am (bank opened 9 am), there was a woman standing at the ATM machine outside. I barely noticed her as I went out for coffee. An hour later upon my return she was still at the machine. A security guard works several businesses there and passes by each few minutes. It seemed odd that she was still working the machine. I stopped and sat down in a grassy area 10 m away and just watched her. She was sticking a debit or CC card into the machine, then looking at a note book, which had a written list of dozens of 4-digit PIN numbers. She would enter a PIN, and the machine would reject the PIN. She was going down the list, entering PINS. Each 2-3 PINS that failed, and she would cancel the attempt, retrieve the card, write something in the notebook, then attempt a different card (she had many cards). Finally one of the PINs was accepted with one of the cards. She wrote something in the notebook and withdrew p5000. Every time she got 5000. I watched her for more than 20 minutes. 90 minutes at an ATM is very unusual. She collected p5000 every 3-4 minutes. The guard would walk by and seem not to notice this oddity.
An hour or so later I went past the BDO again and the woman was gone. A day later she was right back working that machine at 8 am. I called the guard's attention to the lady. "Ya. She is here yesterday also". Did you report her to the bank management? "No". Bajesus! Later when the bank opened I reported the woman's activity to a bank manager. She said they would review the CCTV. I left the matter and didn't think of it anymore.
A few days ago I went to a bank here to hit the ATM. It was 8 am. I was on my way to get a coffee. There is a small, more private indoor lobby just before the closed / locked bank doors. A guard, half asleep, sits on a chair in the parking lot, watching that small windowed lobby / ATM area. There was a lady in front of me using the ATM. A pinoy walked in and took the spot behind me. After a short spell the woman finished her biz and departed the machine. I thought she'd walked outside as I approached the ATM. As I finished my business and departed the ATM, I noticed the woman was standing in front of the gent who was in turn behind me. She rushed past me to the vacant ATM, taking his spot. In her right hand she had a small clutch purse and what appeared a dozen ATM cards, and in her left hand was a sheet of paper with dozens of 4-digit, hand-written PIN numbers. She inserted a card into the machine and began entering PIN numbers. She would write things on the paper and insert new cards until one of the PINs connected, then she withdrew p5000. Just exactly like the lady in Manila.
I stepped back and watched her work the machine for about 5 minutes. She took a break and invited the other gent to use the machine. When he finished she went right back to work on the machine. Finally I walked off, had a coffee. 30 minutes later on the walk back to my place and right past the bank, there she was still working the ATM. I went back to the bank today and chat the manager, who said she would check the CCTV. That's where it sits.
It seems fairly nefarious, but maybe there's a legit reason to use an ATM like this? The guards at both banks saw it and didn't intervene. Anyone seen this before?

Posts: 6860I'll vax the ugly one, thanks.
Flew recently on CP. Five hot pinay FA's. Four were tall lookers, like these. The other one was a short looker. I was in the pre-board class and got to board the aircraft early with about a dozen others. Had the run of the plane for about 5 minutes before the coach class was allowed to board. Dropped my overhead and hit the head and returned to my seat. One of the taller FA's was standing next to my empty row and she struck up convo. Several minutes of mildly flirty conversation. What a lovely way to fly! As much as I dislike CP's policies and procedures at times, and as much as I think those games they play onboard during flights are silly, its hard to complain while the girl delivering those prizes up / down the aisle is smoking hot.
CP: Please forgive those things I said previously when I was thinking rationally. And keep 'up' the good work.

They also allow residents in the condo building in Cebu City where I am staying to keep dogs, they must wear diapers in all public areas of the building. Most days I see some of the dog owners getting in/getting out of the elevator, and also see them out in front of the condo building taking them for a walk.
About 2 weeks ago when returning to my condo unit late one night I noticed some dog mess in the hallway on my floor, near my unit! 3 separate deposits! Jesus H! I have been living in the same building for more than 3 years and this is the first time this has happened. I took some video of it on my phone and went back down to the lobby and showed the security guard, who said they would arrange to have it cleaned up, which they did. I told security the unit number that owned the dog and asked them to have a word with the owner. She lives a few doors down the hallway from me, I occasionally hear the dog barking, not loudly, and it rarely lasts for more than a minute or two. I have never seen any dog mess in any of the malls.
About 3 years ago I was in the main Ayala mall at the ground floor terraces Starbucks, and as I was leaving I noticed a Chinese family sitting at one of the large sofa-seats / table areas. The mother had her baby on the table and was changing its nappy! I shouted at them but they couldn't understand me, so I went over to the counter and asked the staff to throw them out. The mother must have twigged that something was wrong, because she quickly picked the baby up and left taking the rest of the family out with her.

Before Covid upstairs in the gadget area of SM Clark Mall I saw a small white furry fashion dog on a leash squat down and take dump in the middle of the busy walk area. People were laughing, the owner was embarrassed and turning red. The owner wasn't prepared to pick up the shit either!

I am hoping to find one client that will be happy with the same vaccination a few times per day as recommended by Dr AP. This will assist her in maintaining efficacy while I am in country. From previous research I've found that any vaccination effects have a very short half-life once I have moved onto the next province. This will require assistance from others to maintain efficacy as I rarely go back.
I have also been in contact with a previous attendee of my clinic. She is keen for multiple boosters on this next visit to her area. She is a devout catholic girl and refuses to use contraception. God bless her.
Was at a party here in my country last weekend. One dirty westerner has the slimmest, sweetest filipina wife. Although I would not lust over his wife, I was thinking deeply about the heavy workload I will have when I land in Ph.
AP.

One could literally spend their entire commute in a car without hearing a barking dog in the Philippines.

From the Westy Archives. All the more reason to love Phils. I could still use some vaxxing-duty relief.
