End of another Month
We have now been in our house for four months and it is still not completed, its nearly their Mediatrix did not finish their work inside the house, otherwise we could sign it off as complete. They did however request that we apply a sticker to our car so that security will not stop us from entering. I pointed out to the management that it would be better to have an automated barrier system operated by a tag or card, which provides better security. I do not want to have a sticker on my car as it identifies where I live which could cause potential problems for my personal security where kidnapping is a risk. am automated barrier would also relieve the gatehouse from having to always open and close the gates.
Talking of gates yes I have my gates installed but they still have to be painted, but I am not happy with the installation because as soon as I ran my car over the gutter a piece of concrete cracked off. I had been assured that a metal gutter had been installed, but no its just concrete. the whole gate saga has been a bit of a fiasco with the contractor telling lies. The original gate was supposed to be made from aluminum and shipped across from Cebu, but the contractor used the money for another project and then had a steel gate manufactured locally and it has been a problem ever since.
I have now been in the Philippines for over a year and my visa expires in September to when my local paper advertised low cost airfare from Cebu to Hongkong at 448 PHP I jumped at it, but like a lot of advertising it was a bit of a con as for two people the return flight was 1952 PHP plus 6902.14 PHP for tax, fuel surcharge and fees. 1450 PHP for baggage and to add insult to injury 400 PHP for booking via the Internet. Yes there is a saving of 1911 PHP per sector so booking now saved me a total 7644 PHP. But I would prefer the Cebu Pacific website be a little more truthful about the actual cost by including the main elements such as tax fuel charges etc in their advertising, which are unavoidable cost. We did opt out of additional costs of seat reservations and hot meals.
