Foreigner protection Plan
« on: October 14, 2007, 02:46:00 PM »
In recent meetings this week with PSSUP Edgardo Inking and other PNP members had discussed that foreigners coming here to the now getting ever more popular Island of Bohol would receive an extra vigilance and protection while enjoying here in Bohol.
With the increasing rate of crimes in the Province of Bohol and with in it's towns and city the need was felt necessary to beef up on protecting of our international visitors coming here.
It was also mentioned any foreigner who felt that if he or she is at danger while visiting here of maybe being threatend by other's then what the foreigner must do as explained by the provincail PNP must blotter any dangerous, or criminalised harm that has been done unto them.
The case will be reviewed by the chief's and if the foreigner request he will be provided with a police protection escort as his right to avoid any danger from threats or other criminalised life threatening matter's.
The police escort will go to anywhere the tourist will be going to as if his own personal bodyguard service.
Foreigners arriving here look tempting to Philippine people who are hard up and desperate in times of crisis.
By, Precious

UPDATE:
As well as what I have mentioned up above Habl-Habal drivers are exempt from giving rides to tourist and tourist shall no longer be riding on top of multi cabs and jeepneys as well.
According to SSUPT Colonel Edgardo Inking of the Bohol PNP Camp Dagahoy.

Really? so there's a qualification now who rides habal-habal?  that's funny!  if that happens in America, that's called descrimination but in Bohol that's protection to foreigners.  So who gets a ticket if they see a tourist ride a habal-habal?  The driver then?  Isn't it ride at your own risk? i dunno...

Some foreigners are in favor of this but I found it to be only in the best interest of the Attorney involved as I have been here long enough and know after the first meeting we had a few weeks ago I can say I am not so interested in it after all.
many things were told to foreigners as they tried recruiting us to make some clan. When we are at the meeting I noticed the persons mentioned were not there and when I asked where are all the things promised to us before hand they told us that they would have to make a proposal and we would need to have at least 10 or more members?
I also found out the persons who are my present conflicts until things are straightend out are relatives to those persons.
Toinks!
I would rather have honest friends then make those who are deceitful behaving.
There was more to it then that and I do not want to belong to a group that seems almost anti Filipino.
I did not have comfortable feelings at the meeting but some foreigners have not been around here long enough to know the difference.
What other country has a foreign protection organization operated by engineers and attorneys?
This group included things such as going after Filipinos who borrow from Foreigners and do not pay back what they borrowed in the long run.
Bottom line there for everyone just be honest, and do what is right, and treat everyon no matter what the race, color, or religion or wealth or riches may be.
Remember a golden heart is a forever heart!

Maybe some good advice to foreigners: don't go buying flashy things like the latest Toyota SUV.  It marks you as a rich person and therefore more likely to be targeted.
As for me, I don't feel threatened.  Sure there are some young dudes who give me a bad / supposedly threatening look as I walk by, but you get that anywhere.

Dont be afraid. Live and let live. Ben, your ancestors are British, the conquerors of 1/4th of the world, ruled not only the American colonies, Canada, the Caribbean, India, Burma, Malaya, held territories in China, Pacific Islands, Guniea, and parts of Africa. The world's naval route was ruled by the British, your ancestors. Did they fear when they braved the jungles of Africa? Did they have fear as they colonized India and subdued the millions of their people? Did they have fear as they colonized the American colonies and suffered constant attacks from native americans? Of course, but they didnt let that get them. Live and let live.

Life is too precious and too short to let fear take the best of us. :) Conquor your fears and triumph!

Enjoy your stay in the Philippines!

Here in Bohol if your a friendly residential Icon and not a piece of so called "white trash" and your actually known as a popular and friendly person here in the community such as I am then normally with in the amount of time I have lived here in Bohol, people have gotten to know me in the way I am as just normal straight to the Gods honest truth (living in a real world point of view of how it really is here)
Many people here know I am good to them and respect them.
 I have no problem with people who are proved genuine in the way they carry themselves.
Often I smile at persons who others would not give even a nod too normally.
I often get the same back as if they never expected someone so be nice to them?
Makes one feel good in return.
Often Lorenzo as one Bohol SB member has told me that "Often it takes an outsider looking in to point out the problems and help make suggestions to try to help in bettering persons lives."

I believe in being informative, as well as having the correct realistic situation at hand at present said to me versus some ones made up fantasy or belief of what it is, when it is not.

No one is perfect and we know that already.
I have never lambasted or lied or fantasied to any of you in here on a personal basis.

Often I have had to bite my tongue in what I read in here as everyone is entitled to their opinion whether biased or not.
But to personally call some one names is with out a doubt walang classy jyud.

I have plenty of accomplishments both in school and with in my home place community and here as well.

I hear all of you out there, and have made compliments to many of your opinions but when I have made nice ideals or have kept you up to date or given my insight as some one who is well in tuned, and cares with whats going on here in Bohol, no one says a thing?

If the kettle is black in my book then it is black.

Some people always want to hide behind the truth and thats normal in life.

Do not any of you get me wrong I love Philippine persons very much as well as care about them.

I admit I do talk the sweet and sour of the states and here. There has to be balance, diba!

Not all but there have been a majority of you, and as old as I am white and some one who has traveled the world and been exposed to many kinds of cultural back grounds, Philippines is not exempt in having the same attitudes that the rest of the world is having.

No one place is better the next each nation has it weak and strong links.

I am not raised biased in my thinking.
I believe that we are all brothers and sisters, and that the world belongs to everyone.

The only thing separating persons around the world are the different flags we fly.

Have spoke my words and hope none of you lovely persons are offended in what I have said in this post.
Take Care, and as I said before, I love and care about all persons and living things on this planet.

I have my opinion to about certain persons in my life, but as a rule I was not raised of being a person who emotionally or physically abuses persons.

So in other words your saying you do not know how to apologize and be a gentle man or the pride thing is in your way?

How often are you into calling ladies names like "White trash" is my book that falls under racial prejudices!

No one has the right to call someone racial filthy names.

No one.

I am glad my "white trash" parents raised me to be honest and kind and to the point, they did not teach me the rights to call persons names, what have I ever done to you?

Lets not forget the word "BIMBO" as well.

Lorenzo all I am asking for is a simple apology.

I was shocked to read the sentence you had written in Ex pats

I was shocked as I had been being kidded all along that you were an educated and polite kind person?

It is a personal attack on white people, and myself as well.

I know and my socail environment know as well as God also that those personal words of attack and you were not generalizing as
I was saying in ex pats but i am sure it sounds like it was taken wrong; All foreign men who marry and complain to me that the wives families expect the financial support out of his pockets as well.
I should be more carefull when wording things from persons.

My Filipino friends at home in the states told me str8 up that they came from poor families and married to have a better life then what Philippines had to offer.
Most my Filipino friends were beaten and abused by American men and later disregarded.

I am really working on trying to straighten out my grammar as I also at times  have a hard time understanding what I said myself?

Aaaaaaaaack! It comes out as if backwords.

I do not like saying bad things about persons, but I am fair in letting others know what are being said.

Many persons have feelings that are not always positive but they are way to shy to say how they really think out loud.

Sometimes its hard to read a persons mind but the guys are to friendly to say it to their wives in person.
Instead we (foreigners) meet at the corner table in BQ breadbasket and compare our notes. I talk about media events and they talk to me like I am DEAR ABBEY.

They whine and grind about their expenses and what not about the culture here comparing it to back home.
Other people can hear what they say I tell them to lower their voices as I look around to see who has been hurt from overhearing the conversation.
I am sort of the Dear Abbey, and sergeant of Arms in maintaining peace and harmony in our group.
Some times if they keep on talking bad about their Filipino wives, I eventually leave the table and find another one to sit at.

My husband is Pinoy' and an OFW and I am a surrogate mother of four kids here.

I do not know of any other foreign woman living here and taking care of their step Filipino kids?
I also will leave the table if the husbands are wound up about their wives and her family as I do not want my kids to hear their race being badly talked about.

Most f what i said in EXPATS is not words from my lips but from others just so you would know whats going on and and whats being said as well.

I am sorry personally if it had hurt anyone of you.

That is not what it was intended for.

As I have always said I love all kinds of people.

Why else am I here taking care of y husbands kids and I am not raised in this culture.

Marry for love, responsibility, and care, not for the material things.

I am an old fashioned gal and always have been.

Your statements towards other members in here, which were clearly directed towards Filipina women--and of members who I know dearly--garnered my stiff attention. I have read your posts prior to this and most of your posts have very rigid indignation towards Filipinas, regarding them as 'philippine persons who go abroad' in such negative ways that demean the morality of our people. Clearly you know that as a person I am not the one to throw the first stone, nor am I the one to condemn anyone, however, when you ushered those posts in regards to Filipina women, you engaged my own anger. Members in here are my family, and when you were arguing with them and filled them with annoyance, I had to do something--I am not the one to stand around and watch my loved ones get attacked while retaining  sobriety during the heat of the moment. Nay. You call it an attack, i refute that declaration as I believe in my firmest conviction that it was you who cast the first stone, and surely you cannot infer to us that you are sinless or guiltless;  your posts are very negative and from reading the responses of the Tubag Bohol members, I realized that you were in great err. If you expect similar treatment, initiate it first. Claro que si? Comprende?
I reiterate to you, I mean every single word that I said in the  circumstance that it was given. For me to acquiesce my stance would be unbecoming of me. I cannot take back what I said in that thread, because I meant every single word. And I stand with my decision. I am disinclined to acquiesce to your request.

Marry for love, responsibility, and care, not for the material things.

I am an old fashioned gal and always have been.

Like most of us, I find the internet a very convenient place to exchange words--positive or negative. But I also find it an inadequate medium to see the intentions of the other person, especially when we are sharing opinions, thoughts, feelings... (not objective facts).

So I take the time to re-read what I write and take a long, deep breath before I react to anything I read. Oftentimes, we react to what we perceive as the intention of the other party. But words on our screen are digital images, inanimate representations of our thoughts, especially when they are expressed at the spur of the moment. We see none of the facial expression, the tone, the breathing pauses, the reflective silence of the other person.

So let's be more generous in reading the intentions of the other party. And right, let's avoid sweeping generalizations and name-calling under any circumstance.

There is a reason for calling our exchange of views in this forum a "thread." The "thread" is a communication in progress, an interactive unfolding of our thoughts. I expect knots and wrinkles, but I am happy when we finally end up understanding one another more. I'll be the first to say keep your Aaaaacks!, bwahahahas, ha ha ha... You become alive in front of me... They make you real persons and friends to me.

However, please cut out the expletives and cusses. Also, this is not a wall for graffitis. So let's cut out racial slurs and personal attacks.

I myself have on one occasion reacted vehemently to one of Precious' comments. But in subsequent exchanges, I find her warm, helpful, straightforward and congenial. Precious, to me, your choice to take up residence in Bohol speaks more than a positive article about Bohol on New York Times. I guess you just have to adapt some more to our cultural sensitivities. But you are right to bring our attention to things we need to improve on but we simply take for granted.

I am sure we'll know and like one another better if we all meet in an EB.

Keep your cool guys.

The police escort will go to anywhere the tourist will be going to as if his own personal bodyguard service.
Foreigners arriving here look tempting to Philippine people who are hard up and desperate in times of crisis.
By, Precious

If the eventual result is a tourist-class security for the whole of Bohol, I don't mind giving our foreign tourists extra protection.

Let's face it, any incident of bodily harm done on a foreign visitor will reverberate to the far ends of the earth through media.

If the kettle is black in my book then it is black.
Rather, the kettle is some shade of grey.  There are no absolutes in the affairs of human beings.
Such certainty that one in possession of 'God's honest truth' will foster negative responses.

Thanks, Bene san for your enlightening statement.  I have to admit that it was really a struggle to stay cool when I see someone with so much negativity in her mind that is affecting our moods here.  But, I will leave it at that because it seems like we are going now in circle.  For awhile, I thought things were fine already.  People had calmed down and it seems like some who were "vehemently" reacting to the posts of Precious (including me) are starting to accept that things are just the way they are; we differ in opinions and judgement.  I knew some who, for the sake of peace, opted rather not to read her message so it couldn't elicit any "vehement" reactions anymore. And when we didn't, she cries again that she was taken for granted.  Whew! 

Today, I was happy that few persons had started to reach out to her again.  Then came her messages again of attack, of digging to old threads that she herself had stirred the sensitivities of most of the people here, particularly women. I wasn't a member yet when this controversial thread was being talked about and I chose not to directly comment on that because at that time I thought she was just one of those nuisance people.  And I was glad I kept my mouth shut in that issue because I was bound anyway of my own encounters with her.  I was not happy because it brought the worst in me but, just like Lorenzo, at that moment, I meant every words I said.  I will try my best though in the future, if there's any, not to vehemently react like that anymore.  Anyway, to cut the chase, I will try to be more patient to Precious and to other people here in TB who may have different views/opinions as mine. 

Thank you, Bene san, for your words of wisdom!  :D

Hi Grazie,

TB wouldn't be so interesting a place to hang out in without the diversity of views and opinions of the members. We can go ballistic with our responses as long as we are aiming at the issues, not persons. Personally, I always keep in mind that what I will say here is something that I can likewise say in front of you in an EB. And as far as expressive style is concerned, you, lumine and I will perhaps sit in the same corner in an EB but I don't mind receiving shots from the other side of the table as long as it's not about my bald pate (haha... honestly, I can take it with a helmet).

Same here, Bene san, "I will always keep in mind that what I will say here is something that I can likewise say in front of you in an EB."  Personally, if there was a way to talk to Precious, in this case, I would do so like have a coffee or sikwati and express what I had in mind and be done with it.   

I would love to sit with you and Lumine in the same corner in an EB, Bene san, and they better not throw shots on your upaw because that's where the gem is!  hahahha

Thanks for you "intervention" in this issue!

Rather, the kettle is some shade of grey.  There are no absolutes in the affairs of human beings.
Such certainty that one in possession of 'God's honest truth' will foster negative responses.

When i was a child and used firewood to cook food, all our kettles at home were black. Black kettles were sooted by unmoderated fire.

OT na kaayo ta. My apologies to Precious.

She meant this thread to be about the security of Bohol, not my insecurity.

I have been reading everyones blogs lately and I love what I am reading.

grazie that invitation still stands any time your in Bohol to meet up and share in thoughts and hopefully laughs together.

No I am not ever a negative person for long periods at a time.

I was not meaning to come out evil sounding in my earlier threads it was only for information due to the crisis situations.
I have never ever had intentions to make any enemies as life is to short and energy is not worth putting into making enemies.

Once you have met me you will understand and see that I am as soft as a Teddybear in my personality as well as my body...(LOL).

Anyone of you in here are always wellcome in my heart.

I was so shocked when I had noticed everyone was toinking me and mad and calling me names, those who do not know my nature in person.
I am normally the life of the party comedian girl.
I would honestly belong to the Anti Kill joy Club if there ever was one. he he he. ;D
