TARLAC, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles) – If you happen to be a resident of the town Camiling, Tarlac province (home province of Philippine President Aquino’s family) and you feel like answering the call of nature, then you are out of luck . You have to drive to the next town to urinate.
A new municipal ordinance has just been passed prohibiting urinating — anywhere — in Camiling. Not in parks, not in street corners, not anywhere public or private. Yes, not even in the comfort of your own home.
Violation of the ordinance carries with it a fine of 500 Pesos ( about $11).
Camiling, it seems, is going for a Guinness Record as the one and only urine-free place in the world.
If you think this story is a hoax, look closely. We’ve got the public notice to prove the new law soes exist. (If you don’t speak or understand Tagalog, ask your Filipino co-worker or neighbor for a translation!)
2015 is “Visit the Philippines” Year! Oh what fun!
I’m a resident of the said town and I had same sentiment as the writer. KAHIT SAAN kasi yung nakalagay. It implies na kahit sa CR, bawal ang umihi. It should’ve been KUNG SAAN-SAAN.

common sense naman po..na kung nasa loob ka ng public o private CR, you can do your business…if you took that sign literally, something’s wrong on how you analyze things…

To be fair, still one has to read an official copy of the ordinance. The conclusion here is unwarranted because it is based merely on a public poster (“babala”). Your writer’s research is obviously inadequate !
