...and even as i believe i must claim a piece of the beach in my own land, i am dubbed "illegal resident" on the shoreline, trapped between the sea and the per-hour charge for land.
nothing of that sort during our bantayan trip, though we lived on a banig (come hell or high water, we wanted to finish what we started--living on a mat with "amenities" complete). Just that it will not be long i guess before people enjoy sunsets on clean beaches with a per-hour charge, money passing from brown skinned hands to white-skinned aliens. And to think these sunsets used to be ours.
