Rabies

Rabies is common in PI, Stray dogs everywhere, many aggressive but seldom dare to attack into skin. There are strict rules a pet owner must follow. Penalties are quite heavy to pinoy pocket. The problem is that this law, like the most, is not implemented. If bitten by a pet, the pet owner must take the victim to doc and pay for expenses.

Positive is that today the anti-rabies shots are free. Before You have to pay up to 5000p. Anti-rabies clinic gives the victim a shot on each side arm. Repeated three times.

A few drops of rain

Early morning we got rain, very little rain, first time in many weeks.

They say the prevailing El Nino will pass mid-year and move over to La Nina. Which is better; drought or rain storms? Oh well.
