Please be advised that many posts and threads have been cropped due to the Philippine government expressing it's willingness to expel, without notice, foreigners that choose to say anything derogatory about the locals, the culture, the laws, or even government employees.

In the US, we have something similar called 'liable' that applies to private civilians (not government) but these days, if it's true than nothing can happen. Here in the Philippines, that is not the case. We do not have the right so say anything negative about the government or locals at all, even if it is true at the time and location that it is being said. They are quite sensitive about this and now the government is acting to expel "undesirables" who have anything negative to say.

If you reside here and have an identifiable userID, then you might want to be careful what you post in here. I have a good relationship with the local immigration office and will censor myself accordingly. I thought I was done with living in places where free speech didn't exist, but apparently I am corrected.
