Today, two men were shot and seriously wounded by a car owner as they were caught peeing on the tires of his car. The reactions of many car owners: of course I deligently scrubbed my tires so clean only... But to the ordinary working man or say the lower class, the massa who cannot dream of owning a car, its unfair. Urinating in public may not be the crime but it is ill-mannered, unrefined and in bad taste. But shooting a person while peeing on your tire is a crime and the car owner said, its unfair, then tell it to the senator, not to the marines.
The sad fact is it is not uncommon to see in the congested streets of Metro Manila today, specially during rush hours men just face the walls, Meralco posts to unload. In many instances, jeepney and bus drivers come down from their wheels point to their tires and they are seen by their passengers heaving a sigh of relief after a minute. These people have no bad intent they are trying hard to hide their feelings though in vulgarity. To these people it was just impossible to hold nature rushing out of one's bladder. At least there was the simblance of honesty in their unrefined manner. And another sad fact is the public is showing, though slowly, acceptance of this Pinoy traits. Who is to blame?
It is real hard to explain. Everyone is praying the MMDA could invent a new and improved version of the old administration's sidewalk latrines. Arrest them? No because to do so is like telling the traffic enforcers to fix the leaking pipes along the road.
