Month: June 2017

Porky’s – I can’t figure out what is going on with Porky’s.  I was hoping to get by and see the new owner but was informed that it was closed and now it looks like it is under renovation.  What is interesting is that

they just opened a restaurant above Mischief, same menu and cooks as Porky’s, and girls from Porky’s are now working in the restaurant above Mischief. there are 2 stairways to access, but the outside one outside is a bit sketchy. They have the Porky’s menu, very limited seating, and a pool table. Probably better to sit in 1st floor Mischief and order the food from upstairs. Porky’s has a sign up that they are remodeling, and all their old kitchen stuff is on the curb.  I sure hope I can get more accurate details soon.

Station 4 – Commander’s seem to change on a frequent rotational basis at this Post.  The newest is a Major Mercado who was assigned there once before.  I guess he misses all of us residing here and no doubt, even the innocent tourists.  I think all foreigners visiting Angeles City should be required to receive a briefing at Station 4 so they can learn how to avoid encounters of 3rd kind.

FAKE NEW HITS ANGELES CITY– Recently I read the following:  INFO:  From the office of the Angeles City Hall, at this moment please avoid staying at any malls, bars, sidewalks or parks due to the investigation of the higher authorities they occurred.  They identified a group of Muslims here in Bargy Pampang from San Isidro Magalang.  Please be safe anyone.  Thank you.  After reading this I figured all the Muslim vendors hanging around the Fields Ave area were being recruited to attack all those Expats and tourists drinking and lusting for women in all the bars in the entertainment area.  Naturally I jumped into my motorized wheelchair with cane in hand and camera to catch all the action.  Of course, I went to the bars, malls, sidewalks and parks.  I figured I would find empty venues!  Nope, it was business as usual like it always is in Angeles City.  This morning I pick up the Sun-Star paper and read the headline that “Pamintuan orders probe on “fake terror warning”.  The mayor appealed to the public to verify reports first before sending or posting it on the social media as it will cause panic among the people.  I bet you someone will blame Pres. Trump for this and say he sent out a 4 AM tweet by mistake.  Mayor Ed went on to say “We appeal to the public not to believe rumors on security and safety circulating through text messages and Facebook allegedly from city hall.  Any such announcements will be done through official channels and Facebook accounts as well as the city government’s website.”  Pamintuan added “NO SUCH THINGS EMANATED FROM ME, CITY HALL OR ANYONE FROM US IN ANGELES.  I will be conducting an investigation on this fake warning.”  (This info obtained from the Sun-Star 10 June newspaper).
This Horse believes that this terror business is not something to joke about or to print any mis-information.  I certainly hope that the Mayor’s investigation will have positive results.  For me, the most tragic event I witnessed today was Golden State Warriors getting their ass kicked in game four.  Shades of last year?
