Security Bank Building Painter: Don’t You See the Risk?

I am always thinking how much this building painter is paid of. Was his salary enough for him to take this risk? Painting on top of the building with just a rope tied on his waist is not enough to guarantee his safety. Why did the contractors allow this? Why don’t they provide a safer harness?

The news is about the prenuptial photos proliferating over the internet which were shot at the Libingan ng mga Bayani. Several people are sensitive on these since they found it rude and a form of disrespect to the history’s heroes. Personally, I am not against it, I mean, I see no rude things in the photos…cool when I first saw it. But I am also not in favor of what they did. I am sorry but I am not that ... Read more
