Taking photos in Makati will suspect you as a terrorist
Sunday, November 25, 2007
It happened to my friend last night, and Im here talking to him via IM.
My friend is a photography hobbyist and also loves to take photos of everything around as ART. On his way home, he took pictures of a night scene of Makati and also with the lights and the effects of the dark night reflecting in some buildings in Makati. He always do that whenever he goes home and I like his photo art seeing Makati in a different nature.
but the worst part - he was detained at the Makati police precinct last night and he just told it to me this morning. He said that the police rounded him up at 10pm after a bus ride, and on his walk home he took one photo of a subject and then the police came and detained him for questioning.
All of his stuff were inspected and he receives a lot of questions about his actions of taking photos at night and he was suspected as a TERRORIST. A lot of questions were asked to him and he said that he was detained at the police office and they check his status and ID for verification. He called his family to pick him up and he got home at 1AM. And now totally pissed off on what happened.
Unaware that taking photos in MAKATI is now prohibited, because insider reports said that theres this building in Makati is now in a high security level and in also everyone in Makati is in red alert after the Glorietta 2 bombing incident.
so if you are a photographer, either a hobbyist or a professional or a journalist, it is better to bring your Identification Card anytime and anywhere. In order to avoid the police to suspect you as a SPY or a Terrorist.
Last year, Even me was suspected too when we went to Pampanga for a school tour in Don Bosco for promoting the course offering of a certain institute, lucky me that I brought my ID anywhere I go, because that time NPA were reported going to Manila.
or dont take photos in Makati.. because it will sucks big time when the police caught you and all of your plan for the day/night will be cancelled. and bring your ID !!!
and also, taking photos inside the mall are BAWAL din

Transformers toys number 1 for boys wish list
Friday, November 23, 2007
BOYS Top 10 Toy Wish list
1. Transformers
2. Video Games
3. Nintendo Wii
4. Cars (generic)
5. Spider-Man
6. LEGOs7. Thomas the Tank Engine
8. Xbox 360
9. Elmo
10. Remote Controlled Vehicles
According to Reuters' Barbie rules girls' wish-lists but boys go high-techNEW YORK (Reuters Life!) - Barbie has held onto her crown as queen of girls' holiday wish lists for the fifth year but boys are going more high-tech, according to a poll of must-have toys.
The poll of 7,982 U.S. consumers by the company BIGresearch showed Barbie remained the most sought after toy for girls, with the rival Bratz dolls in second place, generic dolls in third place followed by Dora the Explorer and Disney Princess.
But for boys there was a bit of a shake-up in the annual list with last year's favorite, TMX Elmo, losing out to Transformers, the autobots made popular by the movie of the same name.
Transformers are now making a big hit and even that Christmas is coming, toy shelves of all toy store in Manila are now beginning to restock. Just like yesterday, Tons of Barricade and Bumble Bee pop outs last Wednesday and fans went to their nearest toy store just to grab some and complete their collection. I really believe that the Transformers toy will be the number 1 top wish list for boys and adults, One from the local toy store attendant said "Mommies are now looking and asking for Transformers toys for their kids, and now they ask where to find more of the Leader Class and Voyager class toys."
Transfomers toys attract boys because of its hi-tech design and it is one of the most treasured toy of all time. As an adult during I write these, Transformers are still one of my child hood wish list and now I fully understand today why these transforming vehicles to robots are one best seller and make kids go hyper everytime they see a robot.
Having 2 toys for a price of one is a great deal for parents. And kids can play the toy either in robot form or in their vehicle alternate mode. But these toys are not suitable for a very young age like 6 yrs old below, because projectile weapons are harmful to them, but for a responsible buyer and a parent, it will be better to take out the projectile and keep it away from them. Even me I used to remove the projectile weapons and keep it in my box, because sometimes people like to play my toys and unaware of the projectile thing popping out from their weapons.
"Christmas for me is early, just bought lots of new Transformers toys and other toy lines." Mark Cerbo, Transformers Philippines founder told me that last night.
What about you ?
What's your top 10 toy wish list ?
