Bawal Umihi Dito 10

Maybe this series should have been titled "Don't piss here!" Oh wait. It is!  That is what "Bawal Umihi Dito" means if you did not know. This is the 10th post in this occasional photo series.

Are Public Urinals the Solution to Public Urination?

Are public urinals the solution to public urination?

Would you use this pink stall? How about this one:

This guy has no problem with it.

The answer of course is no. Public urinals such as the above are not the solution to stopping public urination. These public urinals are only good for those who live and work in the area, especially taxi, tricycle, and pedicab drivers. In fact the pink urinal is right next to where pedicabs line up and the second urinal is right next to where taxis line up. Good for those guys and whoever happens to reside in the area but that's it. Maybe it would work if there were more coverage like a public urinal in every barangay. But then it would require knowing of their existence, their location, and having the wherewithal to use them.

And what if something other than the bladder must be emptied? The functionality is limited.

Alas such a problem and solution is very male centred. Does anyone stop to think that women might have to go? Where are their public toilets?

Perhaps if all the politicians put their heads together they might be able to concoct a solution to this seemingly insurmountable problem.

Pissing in public. No shame. Just do it.

Bawal Umihi Dito 7: The Piss Wall

Piss wall!!

I saw this piss wall the other day.

How do I know it's a piss wall?  Because this was painted in several spots on the wall:

Of course the whole are stank of piss. Just awful. These angry signs didn't stop anyone from letting it all go against the wall. It was an invisible cloud of rank stench composed of unnumbered days and gallons worth of Dried Pinoy Pride Piss™®©. But that didn't bother this guy who was sound asleep enshrouded in the midst of this awful miasma of urine.

He must have been real tired to be able to sleep on that foul stretch of sidewalk.

This piss wall is the perfect new tourist trap. Just as filthy as Boracay and full of so much authentic Pinoy Piss Pride™®© culture! Mabuhay!

Time to stretch the legs and empty the bladder. In public.

The Philippines hopes to end open defecation with the help of UNICEF.

"The campaign has helped increase the proportion of households with sanitary toilets – from 60 percent to 85 percent in only 8 months. So far, half of these barangays are already certified as ZOD communities," the UNICEF said in a statement. 

"Our target is to achieve Zero Open Defecation (ZOD) in all barangays by 2022. With the help of ‘Goodbye, Dumi! Hello, Healthy!’”, we can reach this even before 2022," Duque said in a statement.

Sounds good. When will they be launching a program to stop open urination!?
