Toilets - Always taken for granted

Toilets must always be referred to as toilets for as long as they stay stinky, dirty or somewhat not presentable enough to the using public. Hygiene is a big factor and cleanliness is a vital item when we talk of toilets.

Let us stop calling them rest rooms or comfort rooms when toilets are not the place to rest neither are they comfortable.

Take the case of restaurants - the dining areas are somewhat classy but oftentimes the toilets do not have water closets so you have to pour a bucket of water to flush away your business when you're done. Take the case of the carinderias - why does the City health issue health permits when the toilets are stinky and not even tiled and water supply is scarce.

***

Shopping centers and grocery stores must be reprimanded when they have non-hygienic toilets not fit for use of decent mankind on earth. So toilets can be called as restrooms or comfort rooms when they are built not for economy but for decent use.

We know the City health in any city or municipality is helpless on this. They even allow food to be sold without covers along the streets. That is street politics in this kenkoy country called the Philippines. Everybody seems to be joking with our nation.

As we joined a coffee talk, a retired insurance agent tells us all - It's Bolahan Time Again! What he meant was that since it is election time then political candidates start to be fooling the voters again as the voters wants to get fooled too, the man continued.

Roads are being repaired to serve the people and the politicos, insisted the golfer in the group. They repair because they need to show to the constituents that they are working, he added.

With all these comments, then truly this is a kenkoy country. One wants to joke the other and the other likes to be joked or fooled upon. Voters get the candidates' money because the voters know that the winners in the election really are not there to serve the people but themselves, argued the old coffee drinker. That is his personal comment, said a would-be-councilor candidate who was quiet in the group. That is politics and who says you can stop corruption. It's a world-wide fever that no medicine could heal. Only karma takes charge of them*
