Dudong...ha

By: Pepot

After the Glorietta II explosion incident, Dudong the husband of Inday together with other Security Guards were transferred to other posts in Makati. Since Dudong can drive and has a professional driver’s license, he was assigned to the Security Contractor Vice President as driver and body guard. As Dudong (wearing a nice barong) and his boss were driving around Makati, they had several discussions and arguments…here goes:

Vp (Vice-President)- Dudong are you familiar with the streets of Makati?

D (Dudong) – The Main streets sir, the inner streets sir, or the sides streets sir?

Vp – Whichever dudong!

D- During day time or night time sir?

Vp- What do you mean dudong?!

D- Sir, here in Makati, traffic changes flow according to the volume of vehicles, during day time most roads are made one- way and during night time with lesser vehicular volume, streets are made two- way Sir. But the streets name remains the same. So familiarity with the street names is not that much necessary anymore but the time of day or travel we may take.

Vp- Yeah I know, I’ve been working here securing most buildings for more than 20 years.

Google Map and Google Street View

I just have walk or visited the places I have lived with years ago! It is so amazing that with the current technology I was able to walk the streets of  Brussels Belgium, Frankfurt Germany, Amsterdam, the streets of Chicago among other places. You can do this as well and be nostalgic of the past like me.

Just visit: https://maps.google.com. and go to your selected city. Once there, zoom on it, and just click the yellow guy and put him on the street where you want him to be.

Once on the street , click on it  and you will be on the ground. You can choose whether you want to walk, take a public bus, or take a car.
