READER'S VIEWS - The Freeman

I would just like to let you know what I witnessed this past Saturday (07/6/2013). My wife and I were traveling along the road that runs parallel to the airport runway. I think it is Basak. In front of us was a barangay truck from Punta Engaño. We watched in horror as a passenger threw a large 16-inch square box of rubbish (empty polystyrene food packagings) onto the side of the road. I called them pigs but they just hung their head in shame. We are trying to teach our kids to keep this country clean.

Discrimination?

I have lived here in Cebu for the past two years and yesterday (10/14/2013) I visited an Internet cafe in Maribago in the Metro Center opposite Imperial Palace.

When I asked to us a computer I was told all 30 computers were in Korean. When I asked if that was discrimination, the smiling assistant replied I was welcome to use any computer I liked, but they have no computer in English. They obviously restrict their customer base to only Koreans. It would seem Filipinos are also not welcome. I did notice the 'Welcome' sign on the door was in English.
