For example, a new one has opened at the front of one of those smaller supermarket malls on the main highway in Cavite:

In big capital letters: ROMANTIC BABOY

Just the place to take a new date!

One of those chains springing up all over.

Seen in big letters on one of those across the road arches when leaving Dasmarinas, Cavite:

"Dasmarinas,.. where love is all there is" Hmm...?

On one of our dive vessels outside the diver chamber was written a sign "If you can't fix it with a hammer, you have got an electrical problem" a practice they unfortunately carried over into their daily operations.

This was a quote that my wife translated for me. The Philippine version of "Mind over matter" is "If you don't mind then it does not matter"

I've heard it expressed as " I don't mind and you don't matter "

On our local Robinsons web page they say that the Mall is closed from March 20th but there are some essential shops/services open like:-
Supermarket - Yes we all need food
2 Chemists - Yes we all need something from there
Bank - Yes we need money
LBC - To some it could be important
And of course the really essential Pizza Hut.

Yes, normally......but we again couldn't get any bread one day last week in the local grocery and so we got a "buy one take one" family size pizza from them as a substitute.
