@@@


well, i had fun while it lasted. of course, i'm keeping my fingers cross... expect the worst and hope for the best, as the maxim says.

we already had our ROI. it won't hurt so much if things wouldn't go our way. how 'bout those who spent a mil or more of pesoses and just starting out? how are they gonna recover the lost investment? breath man, breath. it's not over 'til the bulldozer runs over your stalls.

i guess, it's also a way of slapping the management of mango square for being too insensitive and greedy... practically selling every nook to any interested tom, dick and harry of what used to be its parking space! even tenants had to fight whatever space they believe as their own cos nobody gave them a specific area where to put their tables and chairs. and then more stalls are popping out of nowhere like, everyday. somebody build right beside ours, infront and even behind our asses! even in the unimaginable places, it is being rented out!

as i have been posting here before, the place is so crammed up on weekends you'd hardly breath. not to mention, the space, the c.r.... ahhhh, go figure...

lemme just cite to you how greedy these fuckers who runs the place are. upon the renewal of our contract this year, they've increased our rent by a whopping 50%! not only that, they had our water and electric re adjusted to a much highier charging on per kilowatt and per cubic meters, respectively. even more, our CUSA (from what i understand, is another scam of theirs to charge us for every square meter we occupy --- in short, bullshit!) increased by 100%! (am i correct here lou?).

after city hall made all that surprise inspection and stuff (though i sense some hanky-panky, mumbo-jumbo intentions from the city hall. here), they again asked us to make a one time fee of 3 g's for some building permit! man, how greedy this people can get, huh?! the place where our kiosk is planted is not a building but an open plaza! why charge us?? and, they are supposed to take that from all the increases they've implemented on us and yet, in these hard times, when everything seem hopeless, they still managed to milk us some more!

you know what? fuck it, have tomas close the entire mango square, i don't care! (except for the many people who are about to lose their jobs) those who felt they have been cheated by the management for all the crap they were promised to, you can sue those blood sucking freaks, kill 'em all or just burn the place down.

so yeah, have those filthy rich guys of ludo and luym burn in hell.

we should have a farewell party guys... like, maybe, starting tonight 'til tomas decides to pull the plug??
