I feel safer here, But it is strict and seniors still not allowed out (officially) But I go out but not allowed inside Robinson's mall. Went up to Valencia market today (Sunday) Very pleasant there every one had to wear face mask. Wife grows plants and sells them to the stalls in the market. It's not really a market more like stalls side of the park but very relaxing. I went for a coffee while she sold her plants so I had to take my mask off to drink. A police patrol came by looking for folk without mask on, I scrambled to put mine on so did the other guys enjoying their coffee.
Small desert island off palawan maybe, manila however doesn't sound so appealing. Given the option at the moment I would rather be in Canada.
