The first one, on the left, is a jeepney. They alw)s have strange English names like, "Sexy Grandma" or "Che Guevuera's Family Tree." They are the quinessential Filipino affectation. I was shocked to see jeepneys in two Caribbean islands but have learned that they were in fact "invented" here.
The second is a "habal habal," enough said.
The third is a "skylab," with people on the wings. The saddest thing is that when they crash, and it happens regularly, people die ALWAYS.
I actually couldn't find a photo of the McDo but found this photo of a bank promo offering that 1.30 US siggy chicken meal- don't forget the ball of rice, in exchange for a bank transaction of US 125, what a rip off. The weird thing about that chicken is it has no taste. I admit I am partial to KFC though. When the first Cambodian KFC opened I was in PP and was forced to go in by Rizza who ended up agreeinh it sucked. KFC is built around the "Colonel's Recipe" and yet, in Cambodia, they don't serve it. They prepare the chicken as the Philippine McDonalds do. Guess it is an Asian thing.
Last photo is "Lion House." About a decade ago some stupid British guy met a local girl from one of those mail order dating things. He was shocked by the poverty, people eating bats and shit, so he decided to open an orphanage although I don't know how "poverty" correlated to "orphans" but never the less, the clown built that garish monstrosity on Davao Agusan National Hiway, the road linking us to Davao City. Noone wanted to operate it much less pawn off their kids to it, rural Bisaya wouldn't dream of it and Hill Tribesmen dont understand the concept since tribes take care of their own.
As a result it has remained empty all these years until it was turned into a roadside snack stand this past summer. I was hoping they would do like Taiwan and have sexy girls in bikinis selling Betel Nut quids (Taiwan is nuts, who would think to open a business like that much less what type of nation could support such an endeavour hahaha). There is a second building bext to it, an empty "shoe" as in "There was an old woman who lived in a shoe." I suppose the guy thought he was helping people, which is great and all, but it isn't the help folks here need.
