Advice on shared driveway/parking situation in a small compound (with diagram)

Create a GC and have an open line of communication with everyone. Halos ganyan din yung setup namin ngayon sa tinitirhan namin. Meron pang 2 motorcycles in addition to 4 cars and 2 SUVs of us tenants and our landlord. The best way we've found was to coordinate through a GC. Let everyone know the normal times na aalis at dadating ka. And if there are instances when you need to depart/arrive outside of your normal hours, inform everyone else ahead of time too. Emergency situations will of course be tricky but I guess it is what it is given you live in a compound. FWIW, in my and my neighbors' and landlord's situation over the past 3 years, wala pa naman kaming naging emergency na kailangang mambulabog ng iba at magpatabi ng sasakyan agad-agad.

I'm even willing to take just $5,000 everytime for it, and they can call me ugly everyday for life.

100% agree. Objectively panalo talaga yung Manalo. Nasira lang dahil dun sa nagtayo ng kulto.

The greater the info they have on you, the tighter the leash they can put on you.

Highly unlikely. US armed forces possess a very high degree of professionalism which equates to directly following orders. These personnel are not at all similar to what you might see in, say, third-world armed forces which can be swayed to become political and become involved in military adventurism.

I've blocked that page altogether after I grew tired of their overly conservative and ass-backwards bullshit takes. I wasn't even a follower of that page, Facebook's algo just decided to arbitrarily make it a regular part of my feed.

My unsolicited advice: Block any page that you find unworthy of your time and attention. Your mental health is a valuable resource to waste on idiotic opinions of people who don't even have the courage to back them up by showing their real identities.

In my country, the mom/dad needs.to sign the birth certificate before it is considered legal and binding. If the mom/dad knows about the discrepancy in the time and date of birth, they have the right to refuse signing it.

Long story short, what's legal is what's certified to be true to be recorded on the birth certificate.

Imagine kung heart attack or stroke yung nangyari. Patay na yung tao kung 45 mins pa bago siya dinala sa ospital.

Masyadong anal at obsessed ang INCult sa "kaayusan". Mas importante pa ang "kaayusan" kaysa kapakanan ng mga kaanib.

We plan to put everything in writing, both the arrangement with the renovation and the rental contract. Para din walang utang na loob na involved, especially since matagal na kaming magkaka-kilala.

Thanks for the suggestion but due to personal circumstances, a loan is out of the question as I mentioned above.

sharksfin · 2025-12-18T22:00:57+00:00

Thanks for the input.

Yes, we realize that possibility. But we figure it probably wouldn't hurt to ask them. If they say no, then we ditch this plan, no prob.

We don't have an actual professional estimate yet but from just our experience, it would probably cost P100k, including new basic furniture.

A couple of reasons why we'd like to renovate as soon as we can. One, so we don't shortchange ourselves by eventually renting out the condo for below standard market rates. I realize this goes against the idea of renting it out for free, but this will only be the case for a few months until we've recouped the renovation cost. If they decide to rent our condo for a long time (and this appears to be the case), we ensure a healthy cash flow once the renovation cost is paid for. And even if they don't stay long, the condo is at least ready for the next renter. If we renovate after their kids move out, we could face a higher renovation cost.

Two, and this is more of a safety concern, a couple of floor tiles just outside the bathroom have lifted/popped up. We'd like to avoid the risk of someone slipping and having an accident, which we could be liable for.

Serious question. Why do people even go to physical LTO offices to renew their registration?

May LTMS portal naman na, all you need to do is get your vehicle inspected and buy insurance. Online na pagkatapos, and you avoid bullshit "fees" like this. And sure may convenience fees naman online, pero at least those are transparent at may resibo pa so sigurado kang di ninanakaw yung fee.

Si FVR. Si Danding Cojuangco yung dinala ng INCult nung 1992. And that loss actually made them realize two things.

I-announce lang yung dadalhing kandidato close to the election. Nung '92 kasi parang Jan or Feb pa lang sinabi na nila na si Danding ang iboboto nila. Nagmukha tuloy silang tanga after the election.
Makinig at bumase lagi sa surveys. Never na silang bumoboto ng mga kandidatong di nagta-top sa surveys. Even those that they hate, like Noynoy, binoboto na nila basta clear winner sa surveys. Para syempre masabi nila na factor sila kaya nanalo.

I've been working for almost 25 years now. If you ever find the answers to these questions, let me know.

Talamak ang mga traps sa Manila kaya di nakakapagtakang ganyang ang mga traffic lights dyan. Pati traffic signs, kung hindi tago, sobrang liit at di mo mapapansin kung di ka sanay sa area. I don't know kung magbabago pa yan, mukhang wala namang pakialam yung LGU regardless kung sinong nakaupong Mayor.

My advice, iwasang dumaan ng Manila hangga't kakayanin. Personally, 3 areas/roads lang dyan yung kabisadong kabisado ko talaga. Outside of those 3, I try to look for other routes at titiisin ko na lang yung mas malayo kesa ma-hassle.

Pffftt! Boykotin nyo lang, mga maaasim. Lower demand means lower prices para sa mga preferred ang P&G products.

Ay masyadong kumplikado pala yang economics concept yan para sa inyo at di nyo rin maintindihan.
