Twisted Pride

"NO LOADING / UNLOADING FROM 6:00 AM - 6:00 PM"

That's what the sign by the road says.

Cops or no cops and whatever time of day, drivers of public utility vehicles stop right in front of the sign and just do their thing. It's a very common sight in Manila.

What is it really with Filipinos and their nasty habit of defying even the most simplest of rules?

I guess, because most Filipinos feel they have nothing else but their pride, they "TAKE PRIDE" in the fact that they can pretty much do as they please in their own land.
