The First (Leaning Electrical) Post of the Year

Would ya look at that.

Wow!



How does it stay up under the weight of all those cables? And the wind? And the rain? 



Reminds me of that poem by José Rizal with the famous line:
O, what a tangled web of cords Pinoys weave,
When they first practice to harness electricity.


It's a miracle that this pole has not toppled over into the street.


It's the leaning tower of the Philippines!

Always leaning and on the verge of crashing right into traffic but never actually falling. This pole, which is on the corner of a very busy street, must be invisible because surely a passing politician or  concerned citizen or electrical worker would have alerted the electric company to this situation and the pole would have been replaced.

  1. Glad to see this site. It's more humorous and well-written than the bitter hating old PFB

    1. So the writers at PFB writing about their first hand experiences in the Philippines and with Filipinos is hating? Guess some people just can't accept or handle the truth about the Philippines.
